Magnetic Resonance Imaging

5.1K
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 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...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biophysics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Human movement and sensation rely on spinal cord-brain interactions.
  • Spinal cord electrophysiology is understudied due to accessibility challenges.
  • Limited knowledge exists on human spinal cord pathologies and their brain effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel system for simultaneous brain and spinal cord electrophysiology measurement.
  • To overcome limitations in studying human spinal cord function non-invasively.
  • To enable concurrent imaging of central nervous system activity.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized wearable optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs).
  • Developed magnetospinoencephalography (MSEG) with custom scanning casts.
  • Achieved flexible sensor arrangement for brain and spinal cord coverage.

Main Results:

  • Successfully recorded spinal and cortical evoked responses to median nerve stimulation.
  • Detected early (10-15 ms) and late (>20 ms) spinal responses.
  • Observed typical cortical evoked responses (N20).

Conclusions:

  • MSEG enables concurrent, non-invasive, millisecond-level imaging of brain and spinal cord.
  • The system validates early spinal evoked responses comparable to existing methods.
  • This technology advances the study of human neurophysiology and related pathologies.
