Welcome...
to the website of the newest specialty society of the American Society of
Neuroradiology-the American Society of Functional Neuroradiology (ASFNR).
The ASFNR was established in June 2004 in Seattle, Washington during the
ASNR 42nd Annual Meeting.
What is Functional Neuroradiology?
Functional Neuroradiology is defined as imaging of the functional aspects of
the central nervous system, including but not limited to, blood oxygen level
dependent functional MRI. It also encompasses emerging approaches for
imaging of function at the molecular, metabolic, cellular, and vascular
levels.
Objectives and Purposes
The objectives and purposes of the ASFNR, as stated in the Constitution, are
to: encourage and facilitate the introduction of functional neuroradiology
into clinical neuroradiological practice, develop and support standards for
the practice of functional Neuroradiology, develop and support standards for
the training of neuroradiologists in functional imaging, promote a close
fellowship and exchange of ideas between neuroradiologists and colleagues
in related fields including basic science researchers, foster research in
functional Neuroradiology, provide meetings for the reading and discussion
of papers and the dissemination of knowledge regarding functional
neuroradiology as part of the Annual Meeting of the American Society of
Neuroradiology and/or independent of that meeting, establish channels for
publication of scientific reports in the field of functional Neuroradiology,
promote understanding of functional neuroradiology among patients, other
health professionals and public agencies, and enhance communications with
these groups.
