Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biostatistics

Background:

  • Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is crucial for analyzing neuroimaging data.
  • Quantitative Multimodal Neuroimages (qMN) allow for detailed brain analysis.
  • Comparing individual scans to normative databases (n/qMN) aids in diagnosing neurological conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the Cuban Neuroscience Center's contributions to the evolution of SPM for qMN.
  • To detail the development of methods for comparing individual qMN to normative databases.
  • To highlight the creation and use of Cuban normative databases.

Main Methods:

  • Development of normative topographical quantitative EEG (n/qEEG-top) for statistical comparison.
  • Implementation of n/qEEG tomography (n/qEEG-TOM) using Brain Electrical Tomography (BET) for voxelwise SPM maps.
  • Generalization to n/qMN by incorporating diverse neuroimaging parameters and creating comprehensive Cuban normative databases (EEG, MRI, SPECT).

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated a three-stage evolution of SPM techniques for qMN.
  • Established Cuban normative databases, including the Cuban Human Brain Mapping Project (CHBMP) with 240 subjects.
  • Receiver Operator Characteristics (ROC) analyses confirmed the sustained clinical usefulness of developed techniques.

Conclusions:

  • The Cuban Neuroscience Center has made significant advancements in SPM for qMN.
  • The developed techniques, supported by robust normative databases, show clinical utility.
  • Continued assessment through ROC analyses validates the ongoing efforts in neuroimaging analysis.
