'The book's real strength comes from breadth of imaging techniques covered and its logical division into background, findings in normal ageing and specific disorders and a subsequent brief, non-prescriptive review of the principles guiding the rational and effective use of clinical neuroimaging. In addition to being a thorough review and helpful introduction to the large volume of research that continues to emerge in the field, this book should certainly meet its stated primary aim of utility in day-to-day clinical practice.' International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
'… comprehensively describes the neurologic and psychiatric changes in the ageing brain … neuropathology of brain ageing and complements other functional neuroimaging reference sources.' James M. Mountz, Clinical Nuclear Medicine
