Inline BOLD Imaging

Activation map superimposed on original BOLD images

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 neurodegenerative diseases, trauma or stroke on brain function
Brain mapping

Características y Beneficios

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
