Functional MR imaging of a simulated balance task.
Human postural control, which relies on information from vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive inputs, degrades with aging, and falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults. In the last decade, functional neuroimaging studies have been performed in order to gain a greater understanding of the supraspinal control of balance and walking. It is known that active balancing involves cortic...
متن کاملLack of sex effect on brain activity during a visuomotor response task: functional MR imaging study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE As more individuals are enrolled in clinical functional MR imaging (fMRI) studies, an understanding of how sex may influence fMRI-measured brain activation is critical. METHODS We used fixed- and random-effects models to study the influence of sex on fMRI patterns of brain activation during a simple visuomotor reaction time task in the group of 26 age-matched men and wo...
متن کاملFunctional MR imaging on an open 1T MR imaging system: exploiting the advantages of an open MR imaging system for functional MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Open MR imaging scanners are designed for imaging of specific patient groups that cannot be routinely scanned with conventional MR imaging scanners (eg, patients with obesity and claustrophobia). This study aims to determine whether BOLD sensitivity on an open 1T scanner is adequate for fMRI for diagnostic and research purposes by directly comparing fMRI results with a st...
متن کاملWhole-brain functional MR imaging activation from a finger-tapping task examined with independent component analysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Independent component analysis (ICA), unlike other methods for processing functional MR (fMR) imaging data, requires no a priori assumptions about the hemodynamic response to the task. The purpose of this study was to analyze the temporal characteristics and the spatial mapping of the independent components identified by ICA when the subject performs a finger-tapping task...
متن کاملFunctional MR imaging of the uterus.
Recent developments in MR imaging techniques have enabled the functional assessment of the uterus. Cine MR imaging is a useful tool for evaluating uterine kinematic functions derived from myometrial contractility, and for investigating the alteration of uterine contractility in a variety of conditions and gynecologic disorders. Diffusion-weighted imaging can demonstrate abnormal signal in patho...
