Inline BOLD Imaging

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

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
