Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging (English imaging of the central nervous system ) describes the medical imaging of the nervous system in the individual and is an imaging procedure . Both anatomy , dynamic processes such as blood or CSF flow and function can be represented pictorially.
Most of the available procedures fall under the responsibility of neuroradiology . Details can be found there.
The first chapter in the history of neuroimaging goes back to the Italian neuroscientist Angelo Mosso (1846–1910) who invented the “human blood flow balance”, which could non-invasively measure the redistribution of blood during emotional and intellectual activity. Although briefly mentioned by William James in 1890, the details and exact execution of this circulatory balance and the experiments Mosso carried out with it remained largely unknown until the recent discovery of the original instrument and Mosso's manuscript by Stefano Sandrone and colleagues.
In nuclear medicine , the procedures scintigraphy , positron emission tomography (PET) and SPECT ( single photon emission computed tomography ) are used.
There are also other special procedures such as:
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI or fMRI)
- Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG)
- Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)
- Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)
- Diffuse optical imaging (DOI)
- Event-related optical signal (EROS)
