Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Brain Imaging

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...

Background:

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is increasingly used in neuroscience research.
Variability in reporting acquisition and preprocessing parameters can hinder reproducibility.
Standardized reporting is crucial for the advancement of rs-fMRI studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the current reporting practices of rs-fMRI acquisition and preprocessing parameters.
To identify inconsistencies in the reporting of rs-fMRI methodologies.
To advocate for standardized reporting guidelines to enhance research reproducibility.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted on the PubMed database for rs-fMRI studies.
The 100 most recent articles meeting specific criteria were selected for evaluation.
Articles were assessed using a checklist evaluating the reporting of preprocessing steps.

Main Results:

All studies reported temporal resolution and analysis software.
Less than half reported crucial parameters like physiologic monitoring, despiking, global signal regression, framewise displacement, and volume censoring.
Scanning duration, eye status, and smoothing kernel were mentioned in a majority of studies.

Conclusions:

Significant variability exists in the reporting of rs-fMRI preprocessing methods.
Inconsistent reporting practices pose challenges for study replication and data comparison.
Establishing standardized reporting guidelines is essential for ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of rs-fMRI research.
