Brain disorders seriously endanger the life and health of people in China due to their high morbidity, mortality, and disability rate. Nowadays, research, development, and clinical application of neuroimaging techniques are devel¬oping rapidly, aimed at further improving the accuracy of diagnosis of brain disorders. The invention and application of integrated positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance (PET/MR), a product of organic combina¬tion of functional brain imaging and molecular imaging techniques, is aimed at fulfilling the exploration of brain disorders and brain science. Based on the theory of brain function and molecular biology and with the help of modern medical imaging techniques, it truly realizes in vivo visualization of different parts of the signaling pathways in the human body.
Basic studies in molecular biology can fully exert their research signifi¬cance only if they are applied to humans. Integrated PET/MR builds a bridge between basic research in molecular biology and its in vivo clinical application in humans. It can dynamically, objectively, and quantitatively transform the neurotransmitters, immune proteins, and tissue-specific bio¬markers into intuitive spatial distribution images, followed by fusing with structural images to achieve accurate identification and delineation of lesions with high sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, integrated PET/MR can be useful to adequately identify the pathological tissues and healthy tissues, locate targets, and outline the boundaries. Using integrated PET/ MR in combination with advanced innovative techniques (e.g., analysis methods for brain science, neuromodulation, surgical robots, and image-guided precision neurosurgery) can lead to new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases such as glioma, brain metastases, epi¬lepsy, and Alzheimer’s disease.
This book comprehensively summarizes the latest progress regarding the application of integrated PET/MR in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of brain disorders at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. It also intro¬duces the latest achievements in the field of brain science in China and abroad. Each chapter offers perspective and practicability, which will help medical imaging technologists master the essentials of integrated PET/MR diagnosis. The book also has important reference value for scientific research in brain functional and molecular imaging. Therefore, it is especially suitable for practitioners in the fields of neuroimaging, neurology, neurosurgery, and other related major fields of brain science. We believe that the publication of this book will play a vital role in promoting PET/MR in terms of basic research and clinical application.
Those who share the same desire succeed, and those who help each other win! Let us look forward to great achievements of the application of “Integrated PET/MR Brain Functional and Molecular Imaging” in brain dis¬orders and brain science. With PET/MR and related techniques, research ranging from brain disorders to brain science is bound to make great progress!
