Neurological applications of PET include using it to identify Alzheimer's Disease, including differentiating between other forms of Dementia, to show causes of seizures that were otherwise unclear, and to diagnose psychiatric disorders like Schizophrenia. Although other books on PET may have a chapter or section on neurological applications, this is the only comprehensive and up-to-date book on neurological PET. It reviews PET in neuroscience with particular emphasis on findings that indicate its potential for improving diagnosis and treatment in neurology and...

This book contains the contributions to the symposium "Functional Mapping of the Brain in Vascular Disorders," held at the Thirteenth World Congress of Neurology, Sep tember 1-6, 1985 in Hamburg, FRG. I have to thank the contributors to this symposium for submitting their manu scripts long before the congress so that the printed procee dings could be distributed to the audience. I hope that this will enable the participants in this symposium not only to recall the vivid presentation of the lectures and the highlights of the discussions, but also to widen their knowlegde of the topics dealt...

The International Symposium on Positron Emission Tomography of the Brain was held at Schloss Auel in Lohmar, near Cologne, FRG, on May 3rd to 8th, 1982. This isolated place was chosen to bring together and keep together people active in research employing PET. The partic ipants were asked to report their ongoing work, to discuss upcoming problems, and to indicate future developments. In contrast to the large international meetings which suffer from lack of time for discussion and are affected by the distractions of major cities, our symposium provided ample opportunity for discussion during...

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides unbiased in vivo measurement of local tracer activity at very high sensitivity. This is a unique property unmatched by other imaging modalities. When PETwas introduced into medicine more than 25years ago, the first organ of major interest was the brain. Since then, PET has flourished as an extremely powerful and versatile tool in scientific brain studies, whereas its use as a diagnostic tool in clinical neurology remains limited. This is in contrast to its use in otherapplications, particularlyoncology, where its value in clinical diagnosis is more...

Akute zerebrovaskulare Erkrankungen - von Arzten und Laien ublicherweise als "Schlaganfall" bezeichnet - bilden die dritthaufigste Todesursache in den industriellen Landern und verursachen von allen Krankheitsgruppen die hochsten Folgekosten. Trotzdem fanden sie in der Vergangenheit nur wenig Beachtung, da sie haufig als letztes und nicht behandelbares schicksalshaftes Ereignis im Leben angesehen wurden. Dieses Buch stellt die im deutschen Sprachraum entwickelten Auffassungen uber die einzelnen Krankheitsbilder und die hier ublichen Strategien fur Diagnostik und Therapie heraus und grenzt...
