Children with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Evidence-Based Neuroimaging

  • Reference work entry
Evidence-Based Neuroimaging Diagnosis and Treatment

Part of the book series: Evidence-Based Imaging ((Evidence-Based Imag.))

Abstract

ADHD is a clinically diagnosed neurobehavioral disorder where the affected individual experiences abnormalities of executive function. Impaired behavioral inhibition is a key element in ADHD, and some authors feel that inattention and hyperactivity follow. There is variability in the presence and magnitude of attention-deficit hyperactivity and impulsivity domains among affected children [1–3]. There is no pathognomonic diagnostic laboratory, imaging, or cognitive test to confirm the diagnosis [3]. It is generally accepted that a child presenting with symptoms of ADHD should initially undergo hearing and vision screening to address treatable problems mimicking ADHD [1–3] (moderate evidence).
