About this Research Topic
Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases. By using advanced imaging techniques, neuroimaging can reveal the anatomical structure and function of the brain, providing important evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. However, with the development of new imaging technologies, more neuroimaging biomarkers are warranted to be found and evaluated. Thus, further investigation of advanced neuroimaging will improve the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebrovascular diseases by providing detailed brain images and the ability to dynamically monitor changes in the condition, providing patients with more effective treatment options and better prognoses.
This research topic highlights the current progression of applied neuroimaging for the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebrovascular disease, including intracranial atherosclerosis, carotid atherosclerosis, moyamoya vasculopathy, cerebral small vessel disease, etc.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following fields:
- Basic studies of neuroimaging biomarkers or imaging technology development to improve the diagnosis and outcome prediction of different kinds of cerebrovascular disease.
- Clinical research for the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebrovascular disease using imaging methods including computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), digital subtraction angiography (DSA), etc.
- Imaging evidence for the effectiveness of medical therapy and novel operative techniques in the management of ischemic or hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease.
