Clinical Neuroimaging
Clinical neuroimaging is a field of medical science that uses imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, PET and SPECT to study and diagnose the structure and function of the human brain in a variety of clinical conditions. It is a powerful tool in understanding mental illnesses and neurological diseases, and can be used to monitor the progression of a disorder or disease, detect congenital abnormalities, distinguish between different types of cells, provide a detailed map of brain organization and connectivity, and much more. Its importance lies in its ability to visualize the brain in vivo, and to provide valuable insights into the underlying causes of neurological, psychiatric, and behavioural disorders. Clinical neuroimaging has an ever-growing number of applications in clinical practice, from the diagnosis of stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy to the development of treatments for mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety.
