Neuroimaging in Neurogenic Communication Disorders: A Comprehensive Review

Written by Kostas Konstantopoulos and Dimitrios Giakoumettis, this book provides an in-depth exploration of the role of neuroimaging in understanding and diagnosing neurogenic communication disorders.

What are Neurogenic Communication Disorders?

Neurogenic communication disorders occur when damage to the central or peripheral nervous system affects an individual’s ability to communicate effectively. This damage can be caused by various neurologic disorders, such as:

• Parkinson’s disease
• Stroke
• Dementia
• Traumatic brain injury
• Brain tumors

These disorders can result in communication difficulties, including:

• Aphasia
• Dysarthria
• Apraxia

About the Book

This comprehensive review covers the basics of neuroanatomy and medical conditions related to neurogenic communication disorders, with a focus on the application of neuroimaging in diagnosing and understanding these conditions.

Each case study includes:

• Neuroanatomy related to the disorder
• Case presentation and history
• Neuroimaging results and interpretation
• Differential diagnosis and final diagnosis

This book is an essential resource for:

• Medical students seeking to understand the complexities of neurogenic communication disorders
• Practitioners in neuroscience and speech-language pathology looking to stay up-to-date on the latest research and diagnostic techniques
• Researchers seeking to advance our understanding of these complex disorders
