In An Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Richard Buxton, a leading authority, provides an invaluable introduction to how fMRI works, from basic principles and the underlying physics and physiology, to newer techniques such as arterial spin labeling and diffusion tensor imaging. The supplementary CD-ROM contains all the figures from the book as PowerPoint files, together with movies of cross-sectional anatomical MR images and a library of all the MR images used in the movies as individual Tiff files. These comprise the following sets: high resolution volume imaging sets in three orientations; T1-weighted spin-echo (transverse); T2-weighted spin-echo (transverse); and T1-weighted true inversion recovery (sagittal). As a supplement to the book, and a resource for teachers and researchers, this combination of text and dual platform CD is invaluable.

'... can be highly recommended to clinical researchers and all specialists in the field of functional MRI.' European Radiology
'Buxton has an art of taking complex concepts and describing them in simple words, without oversimplifying them, using images and metaphors in a very sound way ... For all of us using fMRI techniques in our research, this book is a must for our libraries. Who would have guessed that a physics textbook about fMRI could be a pleasure to read.' TRENDS in Neurosciences
' ... an excellent book about MRI and its clinical applications. ... covers the important points in a superb manner.' British Journal of Neurosurgery
'The chapter on statistical analysis of fMRI data guides one through this complicated method in such a way that the principles become clear. The book itself would prove very helpful to both those who are beginners in the field but also, to experienced researchers of fMRI, as a good, detailed view of the principles and techniques involved in fMRI.' Addiction Biology
