BRAIN IMAGING

各种临床成像方法被用来研究大脑 in vivo. 这些技术能够比较大体解剖学（CAT - 计算机轴向断层扫描; MRI -磁共振成像） 脑电活动（EEG -脑电图; ERP-事件相关电位）和葡萄糖利用率 在特定区域（PET -正电子发射断层扫描）。 从 从临床角度来看，这些技术，与其他 诊断测试，使定性判断，以作出 大脑的解剖和生理完整性 为了 定量分析图像数据，成像技术 他们自己正在调查，以及影响， 相关的数学模型和主观输入， 大脑图像的重建。 此外，数学和 统计方法来评估和联系这些不同的 多元数据源正在开发中。

Various clinical imaging methods are being used to study the brain in vivo. These techniques enable comparisons of gross anatomy (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.
