Functional MRI Can Provide Clearer Picture of Unresponsive COVID-19 Patient’s Brain Function and Potential for Recovery
A new study has provided proof of principle that clinicians may be able to use advanced imaging techniques like functional MRI to get a clearer picture of the brain function of unresponsive COVID-19 patients and their potential for recovery. Investigators led by a team at Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, MA, USA) have described a patient with severe COVID-19 who, despite prolonged unresponsiveness and structural brain abnormalities, demonstrated functionally intact brain connections and weeks later he recovered the ability to follow commands. The case suggests that unresponsive patients with COVID-19 may have a better chance of recovery than expected.
What fMRI equipment do I need to do an fMRI scan?
In this article, you will get an overview of what equipment you need to be able to perform an fMRI exam. To perform an fMRI exam four main components are required: 1. MR scanner with EPI pulse sequence, 2. Stimulus 3. Peripheral fMRI equipment 4. Post-processing and analysis software.
DCE Module – nordicBrainEx is now available at the NNL Academy
The DCE analysis uses two-compartment extended Tofts modeling to generate output maps such as volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), plasma volume (Vp), fractional volume (Ve), time to peak (TTP), and area under the curve (AUC). Output maps and results including volume-of-interest statistics, tissue response curves, and histograms can be saved and exported to PACS. In addition, the Ktrans map can be thresholded and exported to neuronavigation platforms.
Virtual Reality during an fMRI scan – is it possible?
Virtual Reality has become more popular for Neuroscientist Are you a neuroscientist interested in studying how memories are created and how we use memory to navigate in space, or a neurologist who would like to develop non-invasive methods for early detection of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and other forms of dementia?
Apple vs. Samsung: A Neuroscientific fMRI study
Neuroscientists Prof. Dr. Jürgen Gallinat and Dr. Simone Kühn conduct a fascinating fMRI study to analyse the subconscious emotions of Apple and Samsung users when viewing images related to their brands. Study was aired as part of the "Markencheck" series on German ARD channel in February 2013.
How playing an instrument benefits your brain.
In the last few decades, neuroscientist have made enormous breakthroughs in understanding how our brains work by monitoring them in real time. One of the techniques being used is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
