The increasingly biological emphasis in psychiatry has meant that even the so-called "functional" disorders are now considered to involve structural or biochemical abnormalities. This book explains to the clinician the principles, applications and clinical interpretation of brain imaging. It is aimed at clinical psychiatrists at all levels, but particularly those who have no detailed knowledge of the subject. It will also be most useful to clinical researchers in biological psychiatry for whom brain imaging is a vital experimental tool and to neuroradiologists and neurologists.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
The new computerized brain-imaging techniques have revolutionized neurology and are now starting to have a major impact on psychiatry. The ability to see normal and abnormal structure and function in the living human brain has furthered our understanding of psychiatric disorders as well as normal cognition and brain anatomy.
Psychiatrists need to know about these techniques and what they can tell us in order to make sense of the research literature, to decide when to use brain-imaging technology in clinical practice and how to interpret the results. This book aims to explain the principles, applications and interpretation of brain imaging in research and practice. All imaging techniques currently used in psychiatry are covered: computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, single photon emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance, magnetic activity mapping and magnetoencephalography.
This book is intended for clinical and academic psychiatrists at all levels, including those who have no detailed knowledge of brain imaging. It will also be useful for clinical researchers in biological psychiatry as well as neuroradiologists and neurologists.
