Welcome
The American Society of Functional Neuroradiology (ASFNR) is a specialty society of the American Society of Neuroradiology. The ASFNR was
established in June 2004 in Seattle, Washington during the ASNR 42nd Annual
Meeting.
What is Functional Neuroradiology?
Functional Neuroradiology expands upon high resolution
anatomic imaging of the brain and spine. It is defined as imaging of
the functional aspects of the central nervous system, which
encompasses emerging techniques including Blood Oxygen Level
Dependent Functional MRI, Diffusion Imaging, Perfusion Imaging,
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, Magnetoencephalography, Positron Emission Tomography,
and Molecular and
Metabolic Imaging.
ASFNR Objectives
The ASFNR encourages and facilitates the introduction of
Functional Neuroradiology into clinical neuroradiological practices,
develops standards for the practice of Functional Neuroradiology,
supports Functional Neuroradiology research, and is an educational
resource for practicing physicians and scientists in this new and evolving field.
