Parent topics
- Neuroscience [r]: The study of nervous systems and their components. [e]
- Brain [r]: The core unit of a central nervous system. [e]
- Imaging [r]: The generation of visual representations of objects, situations or processes, even when the methods used to generate the image are outside the sensitivity of the human eye. [e]
- Medicine [r]: The study of health and disease of the human body. [e]
- Medical imaging [r]: The generation of visual representations of clinically relevant objects. [e]
- Biomedical imaging [r]: The generation of visual representations of clinically or biologically relevant objects. [e]
- Radiology [r]: A physician specialty with a core competence in obtaining and diagnosing by means of instruments that receive energy transmitted through the body; there are a number of subspecialties. [e]
Subtopics
- Computed tomography [r]: An imaging technique that computes three-dimensional representations of an object from a series of two-dimensional x-ray images. [e]
- Magnetic resonance imaging [r]: The use of magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation to visualize internal structures of non-magnetic objects non-destructively. [e]
Functional neuroimaging
- Electroencephalography [r]: A technique that records brain electrical activity non-invasively. [e]
- Electron paramagnetic resonance imaging [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging [r]: A neuroimaging technique used to monitor task-specific blood oxygenation, primarily in the brain. [e]
- Positron emission tomography [r]: A medical imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. [e]
- Magnetoencephalography [r]: Study of cerebral function by mapping the magnetic fields associated with the electric currents generated by neuronal activity. The magnetic fields are usually detected using an array of SQUID detectors. [e]
- Functional transcranial Doppler sonography [r]: A neuroimaging technique in which ultrasonic energy is directed along the cerebral arteries, recording blood cell reflections and determining blood flow velocity [e]
- Nuclear medicine [r]: That medical specialty, or subspecialty, concerned with diagnosis and treatment using radioisotopes administered to the patient [e]
- Medical physics [r]: The study of medical problems with methods borrowed or derived from physics [e]
- Biomedical engineering [r]: The application of engineering principles to the study and manipulation of biological systems and to the support of health care. [e]
- Biophysics [r]: The study of forces and energies in biological systems. [e]
- Brain morphometry [r]: The quantitative study of structures in the brain, their differences between individuals, correlations with brain function, and changes of these characteristics over time. [e]
- Incidental finding [r]: The discovery of indications for pathologies in subjects that belonged to the healthy control group for a research study. [e]
