Functional neuroradiology represents a relatively new and ever-growing subspecialty in the field of neuroradiology. Neuroradiology has evolved beyond anatomy and basic tissue signal characteristics and strives to understand the underlying physiologic processes of central nervous system disease. The American Society of Functional Neuroradiology sponsors a yearly educational and scientific meeting, and the educational committee was asked to suggest a few cutting-edge functional neuroradiology techniques (hot topics). The following is a review of several of these topics and includes "Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Pediatric Spinal Cord"; "Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging"; "From Standardization to Quantification: Beyond Biomarkers toward Bioscales as Neuro MR Imaging Surrogates of Clinical End Points"; Resting-State Functional MR Imaging"; and "Current Use of Cerebrovascular Reserve Imaging."
功能神经放射学是神经放射学领域中一个相对较新且不断发展的亚专业。神经放射学已经超越了解剖学和基本组织信号特征，致力于理解中枢神经系统疾病的潜在生理过程。美国功能神经放射学会主办年度教育和科学会议，教育委员会被要求推荐一些前沿的功能神经放射学技术（热门话题）。以下是对其中几个话题的综述，包括“小儿脊髓的扩散张量成像”；“扩散峰度成像”；“从标准化到量化：超越生物标志物迈向生物尺度作为临床终点的神经磁共振成像替代指标”；“静息态功能磁共振成像”；以及“脑血管储备成像的当前应用”。
