Imaging in Movement Disorders: Imaging Methodology and Applications in Parkinsons Disease

Imaging Methodology and Applications in Parkinson's Disease provides an up-to-date and comprehensive textbook addressing the use of imaging modalities across the spectrum of movement disorders and dementias. Over the last decades, advances in neuroimaging tools has played a pivotal role in expanding our understanding of disease aetiology and pathophysiology, identifying biomarkers to monitor disease progression, aiding differential diagnosis and in the identification of novel targets for therapeutic intervention. This book brings together lessons learnt from neuroimaging tools in the content of movement disorders, including idiopathic and sporadic forms of Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Atypical Parkinsonism, Dystonia, Essential Tremor, Restless Leg Syndrome, Tourette’s Syndrome and Tic Disorders, Functional Movement disorders and Cerebellar disorders, and movement disorder dementias including Dementia with Lewy Bodies.

This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive textbook addressing all aspects of neuroimaging in movement disordersOffers a complete review of advances in core imaging methodology and the application of neuroimaging tools in Parkinson’s diseaseIt also provides an indispensable educational and research reference for value to all movement disorder specialists, physicians, researchers and students
