Reviews

This is the best comprehensive reference regarding the Functional Imaging of Neurosystems including neurological and psychiatric disorders. ... I recommend this reference and nuclear medicine review book for radiologists and researchers. Scientists in PET research will also benefit from the A-z approaches. (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2015) This volume explores in detail the most important aspects of the functioning brain ... . The book is therefore ardently suggested to a wide audience represented by all those who work in neurosciences, such as neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, nuclear physicians, neuroradiologists, psychologists and so on; the book could also be interesting for practitioners and basic researchers; finally, representing a strong stimulus to intelligence, it is suggested to all students who want to acquire advanced bases on neuroimaging ... .
