Functional imaging with intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is demonstrated. Images were acquired at 3 Tesla using a standard Stejskal-Tanner diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging sequence with multiple b-values. Cerebro-spinal fluid signal, which is highly incoherent, was suppressed with an inversion recovery preparation pulse. IVIM microvascular perfusion parameters were calculated according to a two-compartment (vascular and non-vascular) diffusion model. The results obtained in 8 healthy human volunteers during visual stimulation are presented. The IVIM blood flow related parameter fD* increased 170% during stimulation in the visual cortex, and 70% in the underlying white matter.
展示了体素内不相干运动(IVIM)磁共振成像(MRI)的功能成像。使用具有多个b值的标准Stejskal-Tanner扩散加权回波平面成像序列在3特斯拉下采集图像。通过反转恢复准备脉冲抑制高度不相干的脑脊液信号。根据双室(血管和非血管)扩散模型计算IVIM微血管灌注参数。呈现了8名健康人类志愿者在视觉刺激期间获得的结果。在视觉刺激期间,视觉皮层中与IVIM血流相关的参数fD*增加了170%,其下方白质中增加了70%。
