2nd ed. 2019 Edition
by Andreas Otte (Author)
This book, now in its second, completely revised and updated edition,
offers a critical approach to the challenging interpretation of the
latest research data obtained using functional neuroimaging in whiplash
injury. Such a comprehensive guide to recent and current international
research in the field is more necessary than ever, given that the
confusion regarding the condition and the medicolegal discussions
surrounding it have increased further despite the publication of much
literature on the subject. In recent decades especially the functional
imaging methods – such as single-photon emission tomography, positron
emission tomography, functional MRI, and hybrid techniques – have
demonstrated a variety of significant brain alterations. Functional Neuroimaging in Whiplash Injury - New Approaches covers
all aspects, including the imaging tools themselves, the various
methods of image analysis, different atlas systems, and diagnostic and
clinical aspects. The book will help physicians, patients and their
relatives and friends, and others to understand this condition as a
disease.
