Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Magnetic resonance imaging
  • Neuroscience

His primary areas of investigation include Dementia, Internal medicine, Optics, Magnetic resonance imaging and Hyperintensity. His Dementia study focuses on Dementia with Lewy bodies in particular. His study looks at the relationship between Internal medicine and topics such as Cardiology, which overlap with Atrophy.

When carried out as part of a general Optics research project, his work on Imaging phantom, Scattering and Attenuation coefficient is frequently linked to work in Monte Carlo method and Materials science, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Magnetic resonance imaging research incorporates elements of Segmentation, Artificial intelligence and Nuclear medicine. Michael J. Firbank combines subjects such as Stroke and Psychiatry with his study of Hyperintensity.

His most cited work include:

  • Theoretical and experimental investigation of near-infrared light propagation in a model of the adult head (412 citations)
  • A Monte Carlo investigation of optical pathlength in inhomogeneous tissue and its application to near-infrared spectroscopy (290 citations)
  • Dopamine transporter loss visualized with FP-CIT SPECT in the differential diagnosis of dementia with Lewy bodies. (277 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Michael J. Firbank mainly investigates Dementia with Lewy bodies, Dementia, Neuroscience, Internal medicine and Pathology. His Dementia with Lewy bodies research incorporates themes from Alzheimer's disease, Hippocampus, Nuclear medicine and Visual Hallucination. His Dementia research includes elements of Audiology, Parkinson's disease and Atrophy.

His Neuroscience research focuses on White matter and how it connects with Diffusion MRI and Hyperintensity. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Endocrinology, Late life depression and Cardiology. His studies in Pathology integrate themes in fields like Central nervous system disease, Magnetic resonance imaging, Statistical parametric mapping and Neuroimaging.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Dementia with Lewy bodies (36.44%)
  • Dementia (35.56%)
  • Neuroscience (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Dementia with Lewy bodies (36.44%)
  • Dementia (35.56%)
  • Neuroscience (33.33%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Dementia with Lewy bodies, Dementia, Neuroscience, Disease and Lewy body. His Dementia with Lewy bodies research integrates issues from Alzheimer's disease, Alpha, Magnetic resonance imaging and Electroencephalography. His Dementia study deals with the bigger picture of Internal medicine.

Michael J. Firbank interconnects Research Diagnostic Criteria, Oncology and Cardiology in the investigation of issues within Internal medicine. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Neuroscience, Frontal lobe and Hyperintensity is strongly linked to White matter. Michael J. Firbank has included themes like Functional networks, Depression and Anxiety in his Disease study.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gray and White Matter Imaging: A Biomarker for Cognitive Impairment in Early Parkinson's Disease? (86 citations)
  • Frontal white matter hyperintensities, clasmatodendrosis and gliovascular abnormalities in ageing and post-stroke dementia (75 citations)
  • Differential Atrophy of Hippocampal Subfields: A Comparative Study of Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer Disease. (39 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Magnetic resonance imaging

Michael J. Firbank spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Dementia with Lewy bodies, Dementia, Alzheimer's disease and Cognition. The various areas that he examines in his Neuroscience study include White matter and Fractional anisotropy. The concepts of his Dementia with Lewy bodies study are interwoven with issues in Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Audiology.

His Dementia study results in a more complete grasp of Internal medicine. His study in Alzheimer's disease is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neuropathology, Neuroimaging and Default mode network. His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Parkinson's disease and Cognitive decline.
