In An Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Richard Buxton, a leading authority, provides an invaluable introduction to how fMRI works, from basic principles and the underlying physics and physiology, to newer techniques such as arterial spin labeling and diffusion tensor imaging. The supplementary CD-ROM contains all the figures from the book as PowerPoint files, together with movies of cross-sectional anatomical MR images and a library of all the MR images used in the movies as individual Tiff files. These comprise the following sets: high resolution volume imaging sets in three orientations; T1-weighted spin-echo (transverse); T2-weighted spin-echo (transverse); and T1-weighted true inversion recovery (sagittal). As a supplement to the book, and a resource for teachers and researchers, this combination of text and dual platform CD is invaluable.
- Detailed introduction to the physics and physiology of fMRI techniques
- CD-ROM contains all figures from the book as PowerPoint Files plus supplementary images
- Enables user to present a slide show or study image sets in detail
