Stimulating and Recording Neuronal Activity During Traditional fMRI, and the Benefits When Doing This at “Zero” Echo Time
Experts discuss electrical and optical-based techniques capable of stimulating and recording neuronal activity during fMRI, share examples using these tools to study neurovascular coupling, and introduce a method to acquire fMRI data at zero echo time and discuss the advantages over traditional fMRI technique.
Introduction to CEST for MRI Assessment of Brain Ischemia and Cancer Lesions
Dr. Marty Pagel introduces the CEST MRI technique, demonstrates a basic experiment, and explains why measuring protein, acid, and metabolite content can be so beneficial in applications of brain ischemia and cancer.
