Abstract
Addiction and drug misuse manifest structural brain changes, and thus changes in brain activity, that differ from the brains of nondrug-users. Modern imaging modalities have allowed researchers to evaluate the consequences of drugs on the brain in drug-addicted individuals. Commonly used imaging techniques for studying and understanding the effects of drug use on the brain, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography, will be discussed in this chapter. The following chapter highlights how each of these imaging techniques work and how they are used to study, diagnose, and/or treat substance misuse.
