چکیده
Fig.1. Changes in the model estimates under physiological stimulation calculated from pooled data for each condition (100%=baseline values). Error bars denote SD between individually normalized responses. The statistical significance (Student T-test, paired & 2-tailed) compared to baseline is indicated by 1 to 3 stars (P=0.1, 0.05, and 0.01, respectively).

A Simple Approach for Mapping CSF Volume Fraction
INTRODUCTION: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is important for the hydrodynamic function of the central nervous system. Although long considered as just a partial volume confounder in functional MRI (fMRI), recently a more active role in fMRI contrast mechanism is being investigated for CSF: namely, redistribution in response to local blood volume changes during activation (1,2). As a consequence, ma...
متن کاملT2 pitfalls using water as internal reference for metabolite quantification
Introduction The unsupressed water signal is often used as an internal reference for metabolite quantification in H-MRS. The water signal arises from different compartments of the human brain (brain matter BM and cerebral spinal fluid CSF) with large differences of T2 relaxation times between BM and CSF. Bi-exponential fitting of T2 relaxation times can be used to calculate the water signal at ...
متن کاملMulti Gradient Echo Acquisition Techniques for fMRI: Advantages of Bi-Exponential Modeling
Background: Functional MRI (fMRI) may benefit from techniques using multiple gradient echoes (1, 2). They allow the simultaneous measurement of the signal intensity I0 at TE=0 and the decay constant T2*. This yields separate quantification of the BOLDeffect from confounding signal changes of I0. Monoexponential models have been used to analyze the echo time dependence of the data. However, brai...
متن کاملReal-time automated spectral assessment of the BOLD response for neurofeedback at 3 and 7T.
Echo-planar imaging is the dominant functional MRI data acquisition scheme for evaluating the BOLD signal. To date, it remains the only approach providing neurofeedback from spatially localized brain activity. Real-time functional single-voxel proton spectroscopy (fSVPS) may be an alternative for spatially specific BOLD neurofeedback at 7T because it allows for a precise estimation of the local...
متن کاملAge-related quantitative MRI changes in healthy cartilage: preliminary results.
OBJECTIVES As the early form of OA is characterized by elevated water content in the cartilage tissue, the purpose of this study was to verify in vivo if age-related changes in patellar cartilage in healthy volunteers can be detected using quantitative MRI with T2 mapping and volume measurement MRI methods. DESIGN Thirty healthy volunteers of various classes of age (18 to 65 years old) were e...
