Imaging Neuroinflammation provides an overview of the molecular and cellular basis of inflammation and its effects on neuroanatomy, reviews state-of-the-art imaging tools available to measure neuroinflammation, and describes the application of those tools to both preclinical animal disease models and human disease.
This book is an authoritative reference on imaging neuroinflammation, MRI, neuroinflammation, MR Spectroscopy of inflammation, Iron imaging in inflammation, and more.
Features:- Explains how inflammation in the central nervous system impacts tissue microstructure
- Presents imaging methods that are useful for assessing neuroinflammation
- Describes preclinical models of neuroinflammation
