All patients were scanned in either a Siemens Avanto 1.5 T or a Siemens Skyra 3 T MRI unit and all no-LBP individuals were scanned in an open MRI unit (Paramed OpenMR 0.5 T). MRI sequences for all three scanners were: Sagittal T1 and T2 as well as T2 axial at the three lowest lumbar levels. For the 1.5 T and 3 T systems, the sagittal T2 weighted sequence also included T2 fatsat (DIXON).
Skyra 3t mri unit
Manufactured by Siemens
The Skyra 3T MRI unit is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system produced by Siemens. It operates at a magnetic field strength of 3 Tesla, allowing for high-quality imaging of the human body. The Skyra 3T MRI unit is designed to capture detailed diagnostic images, but a detailed description of its core function is not available while maintaining an unbiased and factual approach.

Imaging was performed at a Siemens Skyra 3T MRI unit with a 24-channel head coil. For the rsfMRI scan, 43 slices (transversal, no gap) were measured using T2* BOLD EPI (TR=2390ms; TE=30ms; flip angle=90°; voxel size=3x3x3mm; FOV=224x224; interleaved acquisition; GRAPPA=2). The rsfMRI run produced 150 volumes and lasted ~6 minutes which has been shown to be sufficient to produce stable connectivity measures (Van Dijk et al., 2010) (link). Three dummy volumes were collected at the start of the rsfMRI scan to avoid T1 saturation effects in the analyzed data. Additionally, a standard double-echo gradient-echo field map sequence was acquired for distortion correction of the EPI images. Anatomical T1-weighted MPRAGE images consisting of 176 sagittally oriented slices were obtained using a turbo field echo pulse sequence (TR = 2300 msec, TE = 2.98 msec, flip angle = 8°, voxel size = 1 × 1 × 1 mm, FOV= 256 × 256 mm).

Imaging was performed at a Siemens Skyra 3T MRI unit with a 24-channel head coil. For the fMRI scans (rest and task), 43 slices (transversal, no gap) were measured using T2* BOLD EPI (TR=2390 ms; TE=30 ms; flip angle=90°; voxel size=3x3x3 mm; FOV=224x224; interleaved acquisition; GRAPPA=2). The rsfMRI run produced 150 volumes and lasted ≈6 min. The task data were collected over 2 runs, each consisting of 131 volumes and lasting ≈5.2 min. Three dummy volumes were collected at the start of each fMRI scan to avoid T1 saturation effects in the analyzed data. A standard double-echo gradient-echo field map was acquired for distortion correction of the EPI images. Anatomical T1-weighted MPRAGE images consisting of 176 sagittally oriented slices were obtained using a turbo field echo pulse sequence (TR=2300 ms, TE=2.98 ms, flip angle=8°, voxel size=1×1×1 mm, FOV=256×256 mm).
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
