What Student Need to Know about Imaging Of The Central Nervous System In Radio Diagnosis

Neuroimaging is a branch of medical imaging that focuses on the brain. In addition to diagnosing disease and assessing brain health, neuroimaging also studies: • How the brain works • How various activities impact the brain Neuroimaging is the discipline that deals with the in vivo depiction of anatomy and function of the central nervous system (CNS) in health and disease. The term ‘neuroimaging’ is more comprehensive than the older term of neuroradiology; although in the past, neuroimaging was considered the domain of radiologists with a specific interest in the nervous system, the participants in this rapidly changing field now come from diverse backgrounds. MRI equipment is capable of being tuned (similar to a radio receiver) to pick up signals from difference chemical nuclei within the brain. We use proton and phosphorus coils to evaluate brain chemistry that may be associated with mood disorders in adolescents. MRI is a non-invasive magnetic resonance technique that does not use radiation. MR
