The first reference designed specifically with radiologists in mind, this guide demonstrates the clinical application and utilization of functional neuroradiology for early diagnosis, neurological decisionmaking, and assessing response to cancer therapy. Edited by the founding president of American Society of Functional Neuroradiology, this guide expertly describes the incorporation of the technology into clinical practice and showcases high-quality images depicting the function and mechanisms of the brain
