Inline BOLD Imaging
/
Inline BOLD Imaging
Activation map superimposed on original BOLD (Blood Oxygen Level Dependent) images
/
Examination of intrinsic susceptibility changes in different areas of the brain, induced by external stimulation (motor, visual etc.).
Clinical Applications
- Neurosurgical planning
- Assess the effects of disease or trauma on brain function
- Brain mapping
Features & Benefits
Features
- Automatic real-time calculation of z-score (t-test) maps with Inline Technology, for variable paradigms
- Compatible with single-shot EPI with high susceptibility contrast for fast multi-slice imaging
- ART (Advanced Retrospective Technique) for fully automatic 3D retrospective motion correction, for 6 degrees of freedom (3 translations and 3 rotations)
- Mosaic images for efficient storage and transfer of large data sets
- Inline calculation of t-statistics (t-maps) based on a general linear model (GLM) including the hemodynamic response function and correcting for slow drifts (GLM not available for MAGNETOM ESSENZA)
- Overlay of inline calculated statistical results on the EPI images
