Brain Imaging

284
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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.6K
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...

Purpose of the Study:

  • Introduce neuromaps, a toolbox for brain map analysis.
  • Enable transformations between standard coordinate systems.
  • Facilitate comprehensive annotation enrichment analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented high-quality transformations between four standard coordinate systems.
  • Included curated reference brain maps and biological ontologies (molecular, microstructural, etc.).
  • Utilized spatial autocorrelation-preserving null models for quantitative similarity assessment.

Main Results:

  • Developed a toolbox for accessing, transforming, and analyzing brain annotations.
  • Enabled systematic and accurate comparisons of brain maps.
  • Provided a workflow for structural and functional annotation enrichment.

Conclusions:
