Advances in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Neurodegenerative Diseases Research - Paperback

Advances in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Neurodegenerative Diseases Research covers how diffusion MRI has contributed to our understanding of common neurodegenerative diseases, bridging common microstructural changes across symptoms and disorders. Sections cover the technical basis of diffusion MRI, focusing on the interpretation of its imaging-derived metrics in terms of neuronal damage. Subsequent chapters are organized by disease, taking an in-depth look at how the use of diffusion MRI has contributed to recent understanding, and how it has motivated potential new therapeutic structures for Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, primary aggressive aphasia, Parkinson's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, Huntington's disease, and more.

The book concludes with implications for future research, making it a must-have reference for researchers and clinicians interested in the field of neuroimaging for neurodegenerative disorders.
