ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF SPECIAL METHODS OF NEUROISUALIZATION IN PSYCHIATRIC PRACTICE
In the past two decades, there has been an increase in the non-invasive study of brain function. At the same time, the technological advances in the research of both the structural and functional state of the brain played a major role in understanding neurobiology of brain processes, and the field of cognitive neuroscience became the most important. Significant progress in the field of neurovisualizational studies of mental pathology is associated, first of all, with the improvement of the applied ray techniques, the analysis methods the obtained data and the expansion of scientific cooperation between medical specialists in various fields of medicine. The article describes the general and specific capabilities of modern neuroimaging methods used for the diagnosis of mental disorders. Some questions and principles of practical use of techniques, methods and techniques for processing the obtained results are considered. Neurovisualizing methods can be divided into structural and functional ones. Structural include X-ray computer and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as diffusion-tensor magnetic resonance imaging and various methods of computerized analysis of magnetic resonance tomography: voxel and deformation morphometry, spatial mapping, etc. Functional methods of neuroimaging include single-photon and positron- emission tomography, as well as functional modes of magnetic resonance imaging: functional and spectroscopy.
