Product Description

Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have greatly enhanced our understanding of brain functionality through the ability to visualize brain processes at work. This book provides an overview of the techniques that have been developed, including positron emission tomography, single photon emission computed tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion weighted imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Relevant features of the basic neuroscience of epilepsy are reviewed and the application of these techniques in diagnosing, treating and developing new treatments for epilepsy is discussed.

Review
"In this excellent monograph, Dr Maudgil has done all of us a service in highlighting the possibilities for imaging and subsequent treatment in this too-often ignored disease. I believe if this work is read by all neurologists and radiologists who come into contact with patients suffering epilepsy, their minds will be opened to a new and fascinating world."

Excellent, highly useful text
A very comprehensive, yet highly readable text of imaging in epilepsy. Well illustrated throughout. Takes the reader from the very basics through to the latest and most complex imaging techniques over the wide spectrum of modalities and clinical presentations. Would be valuable for all clinicians in neuroscience, as well as radiologists and interested medical professionals. May also be of interest to patients or their carers.
