Functional MRI at low magnetic fields can provide clear images for neurosurgery planning and epilepsy examination. Optimized protocols enable visualization of brain activity for crucial medical applications.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

Background:

  • Establishing routine functional MRI protocols is essential for neurosurgical planning and epilepsy patient evaluation.
  • Low-field MRI systems present unique challenges for acquiring high-quality functional data.

Observation:

  • Optimized 2D EPI sequences were employed for fMRI acquisition.
  • Tasks included finger tapping, internal word generation, and mental navigation using visuo-spatial knowledge retrieval.

Findings:

  • Low-resolution fMRI (64x64 matrix) successfully visualized sensorimotor and speech areas.
  • Mental navigation tasks revealed bilateral hippocampal formation activation.
  • fMRI precisely identified the motor cortex in an epilepsy patient, aiding in surgical planning for a seizure focus.

Implications:

  • High-quality functional MRI is achievable at low magnetic fields with optimized parameters and paradigms.
  • This technique supports enhanced pre-surgical planning and detailed examination of neurological conditions like epilepsy.
