Uses, misuses, new uses and fundamental limitations of magnetic resonance imaging in cognitive science
When blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was discovered in the early 1990s, it provoked an explosion of interest in exploring human cognition, using brain mapping techniques based on MRI. Standards for data acquisition and analysis were rapidly put in place, in order to assist comparison of results across laboratories. Recently, MRI dat...
متن کاملWhole-body magnetic resonance imaging: an effective and underutilized technique
Radiol Bras. 2015 Mai/Jun;48(3):IX–X Among others, one particular advantage of whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (wbMRI) is the absence of ionizing radiation, a factor that is especially relevant in pediatric imaging, due to the increased sensitivity of children to ionizing radiation. Another important advantage is the high accuracy of the method in the investigation of bone marrow and soli...
متن کاملPompe Disease and Normal Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Pompe disease (PD) or glycogen storage disease type II, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a defi ciency in the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase. Several phenotypes have been described, ranging from rapidly progressive infantile forms to slowly progressive late-onset forms. Recent studies have shown that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), based principally on signal inten...
متن کاملNon-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...
