Spontaneous pain and brain activity in neuropathic pain: functional MRI and pharmacologic functional MRI studies.
Functional brain imaging studies in chronic neuropathic pain patients have lagged far behind equivalent studies in acute pain. In the past few years, this trend has begun to shift. This article discusses the novel approach of studying brain activity for spontaneous pain and its modulation by pharmacologic manipulation. We argue that the approach provides a solid methodology for studying clinica...
متن کاملDelayed postanoxic encephalopathy with serial MRI and PET studies.
c Fig. 1. Serial MRI studies with FLAIR, diffusion-weighted imaging (b = 1,000 s/mm 2 ) and ADC (apparent diffusion coefficients) mapping from left to right at the delayed onset of postanoxic encephalopathy ( a ), 6 months ( b ) and 13 months ( c ). Some lesions in both frontal white matter and the anterior corpus callosum showed persistent decreased diffusivity on diffusion-weighted imaging an...
متن کاملContinuing Education: Multi-modality Brain Tumor Imaging – MRI, PET, and PET/MRI
Standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography are routinely employed for anatomic diagnosis in brain tumors. Pre-therapy planning and post-treatment response assessments rely heavily on gadolinium-enhanced MRI. Advanced MRI techniques and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging offer physiologic, metabolic or functional information about tumor biology that goes beyond the...
متن کاملMRI-PET Registration with Automated Algorithm in Pre-clinical Studies
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) automatic 3-D registration is implemented and validated for small animal image volumes so that the high-resolution anatomical MRI information can be fused with the low spatial resolution of functional PET information for the localization of lesion that is currently in high demand in the study of tumor of cancer (oncology) a...
متن کاملStructural and Functional Brain Remodeling during Pregnancy with Diffusion Tensor MRI and Resting-State Functional MRI
Although pregnancy-induced hormonal changes have been shown to alter the brain at the neuronal level, the exact effects of pregnancy on brain at the tissue level remain unclear. In this study, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional MRI (rsfMRI) were employed to investigate and document the effects of pregnancy on the structure and function of the brain tissues. Fifteen Spra...
