functional brain imaging methods and results used to study language and reading disabilities. Although the main focus of this paper is on functional MRI and functional MR spectroscopy‚ other imaging techniques are discussed briefly such as positron emission tomography (PET)‚ electroencephalography (EEG) ‚ magnetoencepholography (MEG)‚ and MR diffusion imaging. These functional brain imaging studies have demonstrated that dyslexia is a brain-based disorder and that serial imaging studies can be used

Brain perfusion SPECT is a non-invasive nuclear medicine imaging technique that allows regional CBF evaluation. The technique includes four main components: the CBF radiotracers (radiopharmaceuticals)‚ instrumentation‚ image reconstruction‚ and CBF quantification. 1.1.1 CBF radiotracers The inert gas xenon 133 is one of the most important and classical radiotracers for CBF measurement in absolute units using SPECT []. Nevertheless‚ the poor spatial resolution and the requirement for dedicated instrumentation
