The results demonstrate that MB-SWIFT allows images free of susceptibility artefacts, and provides an excellent fMRI activation contrast in the brain. Flip angle dependence of the MB-SWIFT fMRI signal and elimination of the fMRI contrast while using saturation bands, indicate a blood flow origin of the observed fMRI contrast. MB-SWIFT fMRI modality permits activation studies in the close proximity to the implanted lead, which is not possible to achieve with conventionally used gradient echo and spin echo - echo planar imaging fMRI techniques. We conclude that MB-SWIFT fMRI is a powerful imaging modality for investigations of functional responses during DBS.<br/> </p><p>PMID: 28797739 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]</p> en-us Copyright 2000-2026 NITRC OSI Sat, 02 May 2026 23:53:01 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss NITRC RSS generator
