BRAIN IMAGING

各种临床成像方法正被用来研究大脑。 活着。这些技术能够比较大体无序(CAT-Computed 脑部的轴位断层扫描；MRI-磁共振成像 电活动(脑电-脑电、事件相关电位 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 与其他诊断测试相结合的技术，能够实现定性 对颈椎的解剖和生理完整性作出判断 大脑。为了定量分析图像数据，成像 技术本身正在被调查，以及 与重建相关的数学模型和主观输入 大脑的图像。此外，数学和统计方法也适用于 评估和关联这些多变量数据的不同来源是 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.
