Publisher: Academic Press, 2024

Handbook of Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis provides an up-to-date introduction into multiple sclerosis disease, including new findings on the pathophysiological processes, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. 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).

Reviews all non-conventional imaging modalities currently developed in the field of multiple sclerosis
Written by an international list of authors that are very highly regarded in the very specific field of their respective chapter
Includes information regarding the basics of acquisition and analysis that would allow researchers set-up their own MRI research

About the Authors

Dejan Jakimovski, MD, Ph.D., is a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Neurology, University at Buffalo, the State University of New York and Clinical Research Unit Director at Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center. In 2015, Dr. Jakimovski received his medical degree at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia and in 2020 he also received Neuroscience Ph.D. degree at University at Buffalo. He performed research spanning from cardiovascular, environmental and genetic risk factors in multiple sclerosis (MS) and use of quantitative multimodal imaging techniques in predicting disease outcomes in MS and other neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, his focus included clinical, neuropsychological and optical coherence tomography (OCT) characterization of both adult and aging MS populations.

Robert Zivadinov, MD, Ph.D., has served as Director of the Buffalo Neuroimaging Analysis Center (BNAC) since 2003. The Center is part of the Department of Neurology at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, where he is Professor of Neurology. He also is Director of the University’s Center for Biomedical Imaging at the Clinical Translational Science Institute.Having published more than 450 articles and 750 abstracts in leading peer-reviewed journals, Dr. Zivadinov’s work is widely cited with H-index of 80.He is Honorary Professor of Neurology at the University of Sidney, Australia. Dr. Zivadinov was a founding member of the International Society for Neurovascular Disease and currently serves on its Executive Committee.

From the Back Cover

There is an increasing need for an imaging-specific handbook in the field of multiple sclerosis that provides the latest and most pertinent information to clinicians, radiologists, and researchers. Handbook of Imaging in Multiple Sclerosis provides an up-to-date introduction into multiple sclerosis disease, including new findings on the pathophysiological processes, the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. 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).
