AB SUMMARY: Functional neuroradiology represents a relatively new and ever-growing subspecialty in the field of neuroradiology. Neuroradiology has evolved beyond anatomy and basic tissue signal characteristics and strives to understand the underlying physiologic processes of central nervous system disease. The American Society of Functional Neuroradiology sponsors a yearly educational and scientific meeting, and the educational committee was asked to suggest a few cutting-edge functional neuroradiology techniques (hot topics). The following is a review of several of these topics and includes “Diffusion Tensor Imaging of the Pediatric Spinal Cord”; “Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging”; “From Standardization to Quantification: Beyond Biomarkers toward Bioscales as Neuro MR Imaging Surrogates of Clinical End Points”; Resting-State Functional MR Imaging”; and “Current Use of Cerebrovascular Reserve Imaging.” CVRcerebrovascular reserveDKIdiffusional kurtosis imagingFAfractional anisotropyISNSCIStandards for Neurologic Classification of Spinal Cord InjuryMDmean diffusivityrs-fMRIresting-state fMRISCIspinal cord injury
