Daily fMRI PracticeJohn Li MD
9/27/2012
When you preparing a fMRI study, you need to
Read and understand the fMRI requirements.
Design and choose proper paradigms.
Choose the right coil, right gradient and sequences to acquire fMRI data.
Choose proper methods to minimize motion.
Daily fMRI Practice Mainly Involve Follow Modules
Data Acquisition
Paradigm
Post Processing
Result Interpretatio
n
Experiment Design
Designs for fMRI Data Acquisition
Block Design
Event Related Design
Resting State
Paradigms
Good Design
Careful Selection
Proper Delivery
Good Paradigm Performance Needs
Good instruction, correct understanding of paradigm, good performance of paradigm.
Close observation of subject performing paradigm.
Properly reminding the subjects about the coming steps
Checkerboard is one Well-Known Paradigm
Visual Stimulus Block Design
Baboon’s Visual and Motor Activation Results
Wey HY, Li J, Szabo CA, Fox PT, Leland MM, Jones L, Duong TQ. Neuroimage. 2010 Oct 1;52(4):1420-7
Different Frequency Will Stimulate Visual Cortex Differently
Different Frequency Will Stimulate Visual Cortex Differently
The Visual Cortex Activation Area will be Different with Different Designs of Checkerboards
Targeting Different Parts of Visual Field

Example Results
Gao JH, Parsons LM, Bower JM, Xiong JH, Li JQ, Fox PT (1996): Cerebellum implicated in sensory acquisition and discrimination rather than motor control. Science 272:545-547
Psychological Paradigms
N-back, Gambling, Shape-Matching, Face-Matching, Stroop…
Visual Cue for Subject to Adjust the Squeeze Force

Adjustable Weight LoadPressured Air for Removing
Weight Load Stopper
20°
Eccentric vs. Concentric Muscle Contraction in First Dorsal Interosseus
Coil SelectionAny coil can be used in fMRI studies. When using
GRAPPA or mSENSE, phased array coils are required.
T/R Head Coil
12 Channel Phased Array Coil
With Insert Gradient,
High Resolution fMRI
And Shorter TE
Will be Possible
TSE
Segmented EPI
Conventional GRE
Single Shot EPI

HypothalamusMotion related areas
Motion artifact shares similar activation pattern
Thanks Claudia Huerta for Data Analysis
Adjusting Scan Parameters
TR, TE & flip angle Field of view, resolution & matrix sizeSlice thickness & gap between slicesNumber of slices & slice acquisition orderReceiver bandwidth & echo train space
GRAPPA and mSENSEWhen you choose parallel imaging technique GRAPPA or
mSENSE, you can get more slices for a given TR.
Auto Generation of fMRI Results
5% MVC
30% MVC
Interpretation of fMRI ResultsHypothalamus shows decreased activation after glucose ingestion.
