Echo-planar BOLD fMRI of mice on a narrow-bore 9.4 T magnet.
The feasibility of BOLD fMRI in association with electrical somatosensory stimulation on spontaneously breathing, isoflurane-anesthetized mice was investigated using spin-echo, echo-planar imaging (EPI) on a vertical narrow-bore 9.4 T magnet. Three experiments were performed to derive an optimal fMRI protocol. In Experiment 1 (n = 9), spin-echo BOLD responses to 10% CO2 challenge under graded i...
متن کاملEcho-Planar Imaging for a 9.4 Tesla Vertical-Bore Superconducting Magnet Using an Unshielded Gradient Coil
Echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequences were developed for a 9.4 Tesla vertical standard bore (~54 mm) superconducting magnet using an unshielded gradient coil optimized for live mice imaging and a data correction technique with reference scans. Because EPI requires fast switching of intense magnetic field gradients, eddy currents were induced in the surrounding metallic materials, e.g., the room t...
متن کاملCompensation of susceptibility-induced BOLD sensitivity losses in echo-planar fMRI imaging.
Gradient-echo echo-planar imaging is a standard technique in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments based on the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) effect. A major problem is the occurrence of susceptibility gradients near air/tissue interfaces. As a consequence, the detection of neuronal activation may be greatly compromised in certain brain areas, especially in the tem...
متن کاملBoosting BOLD fMRI by K-Space Density Weighted Echo Planar Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become a powerful and influential method to non-invasively study neuronal brain activity. For this purpose, the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) effect is most widely used. T2* weighted echo planar imaging (EPI) is BOLD sensitive and the prevailing fMRI acquisition technique. Here, we present an alternative to its standard Cartesian recor...
متن کاملSource of nonlinearity in echo-time-dependent BOLD fMRI.
Stimulation-induced changes in transverse relaxation rates can provide important insight into underlying physiological changes in blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast. It is often assumed that BOLD fractional signal change (DeltaS/S) is linearly dependent on echo time (TE). This relationship was evaluated at 9.4 T during visual stimulation in cats with gradient-echo (GE) and spin-e...
