Although most neurological patients that enter a rehabilitation treatment program
have had either a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scan, the utilization of neuroimaging in rehabilitation has been limited.
However, a number of new MRI methods for image analysis hold great promise to
better inform the neurorehabilitation clinician.
The current review provides a
foundation in neuroimaging fundamentals for neurorehabilitation specialists and
examines the progress in using such techniques as quantitative MRI analyses,
diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional MRI to better understand the
neurologically impaired patient.
