This book includes in-depth chapters exploring the use of conventional and non-conventional imaging methods. These chapters cover magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) specific topics such as measurement of brain atrophy and susceptibility-weighted imaging. Additional chapters explore the use of additional imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and high field MRI (use of 7T MRI scanners).
