The Role of Neuroimaging in Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disease

Open Access

Abstract: Imaging the human body is one of the most important aspects of medical science in clinics and research. Due to the increasing spread of diseases related to the nervous system, neuroimaging has grown substantially in the last two decades. In this study, neuroimaging techniques that are used to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases have been expressed. Clinical applications of each neuroimaging method have also been reviewed. Some imaging techniques create structural and anatomical images, and some provide physiological and functional images. Recent advances in neuroimaging have led to the creation of hybrid techniques. In these multimodality methods, structural and functional images are combined. This feature leads to increased accuracy in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.
