Functional imaging and related techniques: An introduction for rehabilitation researchers

Radiological studies of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in humans and animal models: An updated comprehensive review

“…PET and SPECT can be used to examine metabolic activities of specific tissues or blood delivery to an organ to measure how well the organ is functioning [99]. Compared to PET and SPECT, fMRI is advantageous in that it does not require the use of a radioisotope, has higher spatial and temporal resolution and is more widely available [99].…”

“…PET and SPECT acquisition is acoustically less noisy, which is a major discomfort to participants in fMRI [99].…”

Functional magnetic resonance imaging in dermatology: The skin, the brain and the invisible

“…[55] Disadvantages of fMRI include participant/patient exposure to noise and confined space as well as high acquisition/maintenance costs.…”

“…[55] Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is another form of MRI which has been used in dermatological MR studies. In comparison with BOLD fMRI, this method labels inflowing arterial blood by magnetic inversion, thereby turning it into an endogenous tracer.…”

Functional neuroimaging in Tourette syndrome: recent perspectives

“…Since the number of neuroimaging studies has expanded during the last years, we decided to only include the studies from the last 10 years in order to review the most updated knowledge on this topic. We have chosen to include the following functional neuroimaging methods: 10 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies, magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional connectivity (FC), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and electroencephalography (EEG).…”
