Neuroimaging Assignment
Course Goal: Describe and evaluate the use of different neuroimaging procedures used to examine anatomical structures and evaluate physiological functions of the nervous system for pathological diagnosis or research study.
You will be split up into six groups. As a group, you will teach the class about these six imaging types. You will have to post your information to a forum and answer questions from your classmates on your type of imaging. Based on feedback from your presentation, your group will develop your content into a wiki page that details your imaging method that will be used a resource for the rest of the semester. The minimum criteria for the information you will need to provide is below. The wiki resource will be worth 30 points and will be available to use for a 15-point quiz.
Imaging Types
- EEG/MEG
- CT
- MRI/fMRI
- PET
- FLIR/NIRS
- DTI/HARDI
Wiki Criteria:
- Brief description of how the method works and what you are looking at when you are viewing the image.
- Describe whether it is a structural or functional imaging study.
- Demonstrate the use of your imaging type and indicate what the images show.
- Critique the potential limitations or drawbacks of this imaging technique.
- Construct a set of criteria for when or why you would use this imaging technique.
