Can We Standardize Clinical Functional Neuroimaging Procedures?

What can we learn from functional neuroimaging in children?

Although the primary imaging modality in the management of neurological disorders in children is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional neuroimaging often provides complementary information and, in a number of situations, provides unique information that cannot be obtained with MRI. The functional neuroimaging methods most commonly used in children include positron emission tomography (PE...

Palliative spleen irradiation: can we standardize its technique?

PURPOSE To explore the pattern of practice of palliative splenic irradiation (PSI) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cairo University. PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of patients referred for PSI during the time period from 1990 to 2005 were retrospectively reviewed. We compared the three most common planning techniques (two parallel opposing, single direct field, anterior and ...

Can Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Generate Valid Clinical Neuroimaging Reports?

The development of antisocial behavior: what can we learn from functional neuroimaging studies?

The recent development of low-risk imaging technologies, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), have had a significant impact on the investigation of psychopathologies in children and adolescents. This review considers what we can infer from fMRI work regarding the development of conduct disorder (CD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). We make two central assumptions that a...
