What is neuroimaging?
Neuroimaging je větev lékařského zobrazování, která se zaměřuje na mozek. In addition to using the diagnosis of diseases and brain health assessment, neuroimaging is also valuable in brain study, how the brain works and how different activities affect the brain. Many hospitals and research facilities have a neuroimaging department, which can be connected to small facilities into a general medical imaging department. New imaging technology is constantly developing along with new ways of using this technology. The area of neuroimaging was extremely beneficial for progress in imaging technology that allowed companies to develop machines that can explore the complexity of the brain.
There are two types of neuroimaging: functional and structural. Functional neuroimagingje focuses on brain functions using a device that can register brain activity. In the classic example of functional neuroimaging, functional displaying of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can generate images in which different parts of the brain light up as soon as withTaji are active. Structural neuroimaging is static and concerns the physical structure of the brain. For example, the calculated axial tomography (CAT) can be used to identify tumors in the brain that could disrupt the function.
In addition to MRI and Cat scanning, neuroimaging can also use technology such as positron emission topography (PET), magnetoncephalography (meg), diffusion optical display and optical display. All these technologies can be used in different ways to look at the brain and see how it works, sometimes with the help of contrasting dyes, physical challenges for the patient and other tools that will wake up a more complete picture of the brain.
When a physician recommends neuroimaging for a patient, this is usually because the doctor is worried about the patient's brain function, or because he wants to exclude concerns about the function of the brain function in determining the diagnosis. Procedures for neuroimaging techniques with l lDepending on the type of imaging studies that have been ordered, and patients usually walk through the process to ensure that the images are of high quality so that imaging studies do not have to repeat.
People participating in brain studies may be asked to undergo neuroimaging as part of their participation in the study. This neuroimaging is performed for research purposes, not diagnostic, although of course, if the problem is identified, the research participant will be notified.
