Functional MRI: Basic Principles and Emerging Clinical Applications for Anesthesiology and the Neurological Sciences

Comprehensive Overview: Introduces the fundamental principles of functional MRI (fMRI), including its history, physics, and data analysis techniques. Clinical Applications in Anesthesiology: Explores the use of fMRI in monitoring brain function during anesthesia, assessing postoperative cognitive outcomes, and guiding surgical interventions. Neurological Applications: Covers the application of fMRI in diagnosing and understanding neurological disorders such as epilepsy, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases. Emerging Techniques: Discusses advanced fMRI techniques, including resting-state fMRI, task-based fMRI, and connectivity analysis.* Practical Guidance: Provides practical guidance on fMRI data acquisition, processing, and interpretation for researchers and clinicians in anesthesiology and the neurological sciences.
