Handbook of Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis

Provides an up-to-date introduction into multiple sclerosis disease, including new findings on the pathophysiological processes, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. This book includes in-depth chapters exploring the use of conventional and non-conventional imaging methods. These chapters cover magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) specific topics such as measurement of brain atrophy and susceptibility-weighted imaging.

Additional chapters explore the use of additional imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and high field MRI (use of 7T MRI scanners).

- Reviews all non-conventional imaging modalities currently developed in the field of multiple sclerosis

- Written by an international list of authors that are very highly regarded in the very specific field of their respective chapter

- Includes information regarding the basics of acquisition and analysis that would allow researchers set-up their own MRI research
