Preface

Researchers and practitioners successfully joining forces to integrate science with

What could be more fascinating than exploring the mind and human behavior? Neuroscience is one of the fastest-evolving areas in healthcare, in particular neuroimaging. There has been an exponential surge in the number of neuroimaging publications addressing common health conditions as researchers increasingly report valuable findings that enable new and effective interventions. Alongside this growing literature, the scope and diversity of research is broadening in terms of both scientific

In many cases, clinical practice has been quick to absorb imaging techniques. However, in several countries the prevailing trend among those who support healthcare and science does tend to widen the gap between researchers and clinicians. Practitioners are not usually involved in research, and vice versa, which detracts from the potential for synergy and more efficacious contributions, despite both groups being ultimately complementary and interdependent. Modern neuroimaging offers tremendous opportunities for gaining fresh insights, with key developments that will almost certainly lead directly to clinical applications. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before a new neuroimaging book such as this one would gather the latest clinical

*Neuroimaging for clinicians* sourced 19 chapters from some of the world's top brainimaging researchers and clinicians to provide a timely review of the state of the art in neuroimaging, covering radiology, neurology, psychiatry, psychology, and geriatrics. Contributors from China, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Macedonia, Poland, Spain, South Africa, and the United States of America have collaborated enthusiastically and efficiently to create this reader-friendly but comprehensive work covering the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and effective treatment of several common health conditions, with many explanatory figures, tables and boxes to enhance

Countless hours have gone into writing these chapters, and our profound appreciation is in order for their consistent advice on the use of neuroimaging in diagnostic workups for conditions such as acute stroke, cell biology, ciliopathies, cognitive integration,
