BRAIN IMAGING

各种临床成像方法被用于研究大脑， vivo. 这些技术能够比较大体解剖（CAT -计算 轴向断层扫描; MRI -磁共振成像）， 电活动（EEG -脑电图，ERP-事件相关 潜力）和特定区域的葡萄糖利用率（PET - 正电子发射断层扫描）。 从临床角度来看，这些 技术，与其他诊断测试相结合，使定性 对器官的解剖和生理完整性做出判断 个脑袋 为了定量地分析图像数据， 技术本身正在调查，以及影响的 相关的数学模型和主观输入 大脑的图像。 此外，数学和统计方法， 评估和关联这些多变量数据的各种来源是 正在开发中。

Various clinical imaging methods are being used to study the brain in vivo. These techniques enable comparisons of gross antomy (CAT - Computed Axial Tomography; MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the brain with electrical activity (EEG - electroencephalography, ERPs - Event-Related Potentials) and rate of glucose utilization in specific regions (PET - Positron Emission Tomography). From a clinical perspective, these techniques, in association with other diagnostic tests, enable qualitative judgments to be made as to the anatomic and physiologic integrity of the brain. In order to quantitatively analyze image data, the imaging techniques themselves are being investigated, as well as the effects of the associated mathematical models and subjective inputs on the reconstruction of the brain image. Moreover, mathematical and statistical methods for evaluating and relating these various sources of multivariate data are being developed.
