Brain imaging,
or neuroimaging, is the process of creating an image of the brain that can be
used to study the structure and function of the organ. Wessam Bou-Assaly is a
radiologist who specializes in neuroradiology and nuclear medicine. He spent
seven years working as an Assistant Professor of Radiology in the
neuroradiology division of the University of Michigan, Department of Radiology.
He is experienced in neuroimaging.
There are
several methods used to create images of the brain. Computed tomography (CT) scanning
is a common way to create an image of the brain. This process includes placing
an x-ray source on a large ring and having the patient lay with their head
inside that structure. X-rays are then projected over the patient’s head and an
image is created based on the absorption of those rays.
Another way
to create a brain image is to use Positron Emission Tomography (PET). This
method involves nuclear medicine. The patient either ingests small amounts of
radioactive substances, or the substances are ingested. As the substance
decays, a positron is emitted, which can be detected. This method can measure
brain activity.
There are several different types of equipment and
radiological methods for brain imaging. These techniques can be used to detect
diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. They can also be
used to detect lesions without having to perform surgery. Wessam Bou-Assaly
studied neuroradiology at the Indiana University, School of Medicine. He is a
skilled radiologist who has years of experience in neuroradiology as well as
nuclear medicine.
it's an amazing and a big help for Radiology knowledge like us.
