Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Context:

  • Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is crucial for neuroscience research and clinical diagnostics.
  • Ensuring the reliability and stability of fMRI data is paramount for accurate interpretation.
  • Existing quality assurance methods may not fully capture the dynamic performance of MRI scanners.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and analyze a comprehensive data quality assurance (DQA) protocol specifically designed for fMRI.
  • To establish objective metrics for assessing fMRI data integrity and scanner performance.
  • To present practical application experience and discussion regarding the fMRI DQA protocol.

Summary:

  • A novel DQA protocol for fMRI was developed and evaluated using a water phantom.
  • Key DQA indexes, including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and signal drift, were measured using a standard fMRI sequence.
  • The protocol quantifies drift by analyzing signal intensity variations within the region of interest (ROI) across image series.

Impact:

  • The validated DQA protocol provides a reliable method for monitoring fMRI scanner performance and stability.
  • Consistent application of this protocol can enhance the reproducibility and validity of fMRI research findings.
  • This work contributes to establishing standardized quality control procedures in fMRI data acquisition.
