Applied Brain Imaging reviews the methods and uses of brain imaging in child and adolescent psychiatry. The goal is to help readers to become informed consumers of the neuroimaging literature, to become aware of the advantages and disadvantages of various imaging modalities, and to be able to identify the strengths and limitations of imaging studies. Given the predominant use of magnetic resonance imaging in child and adolescent psychiatry (primarily because of its safety and other methodological advantages), this series pays particular attention to this imaging modality.
