Neuroimaging is an emergent method of investigation for studying the human brain in healthy and impaired populations. An increasing number of these investigations involve topics important to rehabilitation. Thus, a basic understanding of the more commonly used neuroimaging techniques is important for understanding and interpreting this growing area of research. Included in this article is a description of the signal source, the advantages and limitations of each technique, considerations for study design, and how to interpret cortical imaging data. Particular emphasis is placed on functional magnetic resonance imaging because of its ubiquitous presence in rehabilitation research.
神经影像学是一种新兴的研究方法，用于在健康人群和受损人群中研究人类大脑。越来越多的此类研究涉及对康复很重要的主题。因此，对更常用的神经影像学技术有基本的了解对于理解和解释这一不断发展的研究领域很重要。本文包括对信号源的描述、每种技术的优缺点、研究设计的注意事项以及如何解释皮层成像数据。由于功能磁共振成像在康复研究中无处不在，因此特别强调了它。
