Making the most of fMRI at 7 T by suppressing spontaneous signal fluctuations
The presence of spontaneous BOLD fMRI signal fluctuations in human grey matter compromises the detection and interpretation of evoked responses and limits the sensitivity gains that are potentially available through coil arrays and high field systems. In order to overcome these limitations, we adapted and improved a recently described correlated noise suppression method (de Zwart et al., 2008),...
متن کاملSources of signal fluctuations in fMRI at 7 Tesla
The development of high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems has allowed for critical improvements in image signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), potentially leading to higher sensitivity and spatial resolution for functional MRI (fMRI) techniques. However, recent studies have shown that these potential advantages become significantly compromised by increased signal fluctuations arising from c...
متن کاملSignal and noise characteristics of Hahn SE and GE BOLD fMRI at 7 T in humans.
At very high magnetic fields, GE BOLD fMRI is expected to contain nonspecific contributions and behave differently than HSE fMRI data. Similarly, the two approaches can conceivably suffer from different contributions to temporal instabilities in a times series that ultimately determine the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). We investigate the signal and signal fluctuation characteristics in GE and ...
متن کاملDiffusion-Weighted TE-dependent fMRI Signal in Rat Somatosensory Cortex at 7 T
Introduction There has recently been interest in applying diffusion-weighting (DW) during fMRI studies. It has been suggested that DW-fMRI signal courses might reflect vessel-size specific extravascular (EV) BOLD [1,2], cell swelling directly linked to brain activation [3] and changes in cerebral blood volume [4]. Verification of any these mechanisms might lead to a significantly enhanced under...
متن کاملApplying Independent Component Analysis to Clinical fMRI at 7 T
Increased BOLD sensitivity at 7 T offers the possibility to increase the reliability of fMRI, but ultra-high field is also associated with an increase in artifacts related to head motion, Nyquist ghosting, and parallel imaging reconstruction errors. In this study, the ability of independent component analysis (ICA) to separate activation from these artifacts was assessed in a 7 T study of neuro...
