- 功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 是一种功能性磁共振成像技术.
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
背景情况:
- 血液中依赖氧气水平 (BOLD) 的对比fMRI提供有限的层状特异性.
- 基于脑血量 (CBV) 和脑血流 (CBF) 的fMRI提供更好的层状分辨率,但灵敏度较低.
- 之前的工作是将CBV和CBF集成到使用DANTE脉冲列车和3DEPI的VAPER对比度中.
研究的目的:
- 为了提高VAPER加权fMRI的灵敏度,同时保持层状特异性.

- 开发一种新的MT-VAPER fMRI获取,用于高级层状功能大脑研究.
主要方法:
- 整合了磁化转移 (MT) 方法与VAPER技术.
- 开发了一种MT-VAPER fMRI采集,可以在DANTE血液清除和MT组织抑制之间交替使用.
- 使用3D回声平面成像 (EPI) 来获取数据.
主要成果:
- 在MT应用后,VAPER灵敏度大约提高了30%.
- 在人类初级运动和视觉皮层中验证了MT-VAPER方法.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
6.9K
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...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...
