AB  - Computed  tomography  (CT)  and  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI)  were  initially  introduced  to  the  medical  imaging  field  in  the  early  1970s  and  1980s,  respectively.  With  their  initial  application  in  neuroimaging,  their  contribution  to  medical  imaging  has  been  tremendous.  Subsequent  to  these  beginnings  in  CT  and  MRI,  numerous  imaging  applications  have  been  developed  to  study  anatomic  structures  better,  diagnose  diseases  and  disorders  of  the  body  systems,  and  follow  treatment  patterns.  In  this  chapter,  the  primary  focus  will  be  to  provide  information  on  the  use  of  these  imaging  modalities  in  neuroimaging  as  it  applies  specifically  to  CT  and  MRI.  An  overview,  however,  of  other  imaging  modalities  used  in  evaluating  the  brain  requires  a  brief  discussion.
