The advances in optical and MRI based imaging technology have expanded the frontiers of neuroscience and neurovascular research. Some common neurovascular imaging techniques include computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), positron emission tomography (PET), and cerebral angiography. In a computed tomography (CT) scan, there is a use of computer-processed combinations of X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of a specific body organ or the scanned object. In a magnetic resonance imaging, there is a use of nuclear magnetic resonance to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. A CT scan of the head is useful in the detection of tumors, calcifications, infarction bone trauma, and haemorrhage, whereas, an MRI of the head is useful in diagnosing nuerological cancers, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, demyelinating diseases, etc. This book studies, analyzes and upholds the pillars of neurovascular imaging and its utmost significance in modern times. It includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the advanced techniques of neurovascular imaging. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
