In the functional imaging of auditory cortical functions, long silent periods between the data acquisitions prevent interferences between scanner noise and the auditory stimulus processing.
Prior to the functional imaging, 24 anatomical T1-weighted MDEFT images (data matrix = 256×256; TR = 1300 ms; TI = 650 ms TE = 10 ms) with the same spatial orientation as the functional data were acquired.
For registration purposes, two sets of two-dimensional anatomical images were acquired for each participant immediately prior to the functional imaging.
fMRI studies evaluating pain processing have the strongest current evidence of the functional imaging studies, because they corroborate this left-shift in stimulus response function (that is, hyperalgesia/allodynia) noted in FM.
During the functional imaging scans, there was a series of high-pitched beeps, then a loud drilling sound.
Radiotracer imaging with MIBI and FDG have shown the benefit of the functional imaging of breast cancer.
The data were collected and preprocessed by the functional imaging biomedical informatics research network consortium.
Advances in the functional imaging of cortical hemodynamics have greatly facilitated the understanding of neurovascular coupling.
In this article, we review the performance of the functional imaging techniques that are currently available for the evaluation of non-small-cell lung cancer.
The functional imaging of the FDG-PET could reduce false positive results of MRI by allowing for differentiation between residual tumor and radiation-induced fibrotic tissue.
The structural data relate to a morphometric change of the neuronal density in this region, whilst the functional imaging data are related to the neuronal activity in this area.
