All patients and healthy controls underwent MRI in a 3-T Siemens Verio MRI system (Siemens Medical System, Erlangen, Germany) using a 32-channel head coil. The MRI protocol was performed within one week before the surgery treatment (1st) and at the 2nd week after surgery. 3D MP-RAGE anatomical images were obtained using a gradient echo sequence (TR = 1900 ms; TE = 2.98 ms; FOV = 230 mm; matrix = 220 × 256; slice number = 160; spatial resolution = 0.9 × 0.9 × 0.9 mm). Functional images were obtained using a gradient EPI sequence that is sensitive to blood-oxygen-level-dependent contrast (TR = 2500 ms, TE = 27 ms, FOV = 220 mm, matrix = 64 × 64 × 36, slice thickness = 4 mm. Each scan consisted of 240 image volumes). All subjects were instructed to stay awake and relaxed, with their eyes closed during the scan.

For Study 1, the functional magnetic resonance images were obtained using a 3 T Siemens Allegra MRI system. Functional scans were acquired by a T2*-weighted gradient-echo, echo-planar pulse sequence in ascending interleaved order (3.5 mm slice thickness, 3.5 × 3.5 mm in-plane resolution, 64 × 64 voxels per slice, flip angle = 90°, FOV = 224). Echo time (TE) was 30 ms and repetition time (TR) was 2000 ms. A T1-weighted image was acquired for anatomical reference (1.0 × 1.0 × 1.0 mm resolution, 192 sagittal slices, flip angle = 9°, TE = 2.6 ms, TR = 2250 ms). For Study 2, the functional magnetic resonance images were collected using a 3 T Siemens Verio MRI system. Functional scans were acquired by a T2*-weighted gradient-echo, echo-planar pulse sequence in descending interleaved order (3.0 mm slice thickness, 3.0 × 3.0 mm in-plane resolution, 64 × 64 voxels per slice, flip angle = 75°). TE was 30 ns and TR was 2030 ms. A T1-weighted image was acquired for anatomical reference (1.0 × 0.5 × 0.5 mm resolution, 192 sagittal slices, flip angle = 9°, TE = 2.26 ms, TR = 1900 ms).

Functional and Structural MRI Acquisition and Processing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Functional images were acquired using a 3 T Verio MRI system (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) with a T2*-weighted multi-band accelerated EPI sequence (TR/TE = 1200/29 ms, 42 transversal slices, voxel size 2 × 2 × 2 mm, 69° flip angle, multi-band acceleration factor: 3). Anatomical images were acquired with a T1-weighted MP-RAGE sequence (TR/TE = 2300/4.18 ms, voxel size 1 × 1 × 1 mm, 9° flip angle). The first six volumes of each block were discarded to allow T1 equilibration. We used SPM8 (Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, UK) for realignment of functional images to the mean image, slice timing, coregistration with the participant’s anatomical image, normalization to the MNI-152 space, and spatial smoothing (Gaussian kernel: 8 mm FWHM).

All MR tracking and imaging were performed in a 3T Siemens (Erlangen, Germany) Verio MRI system.
A two-dimensional T2-weighted axial data set, covering the entire anatomical region from the bladder down to the vagina, was acquired using a TSE sequence (TR/TE/α=3000ms/104ms/120°, 5 mm slice-width; 205×320 matrix, 224×280 mm FOV, ETL=27, 1.5 min/set) as previously described [11 ]. The acquired images were used in both the passively-tracked initial phase of the procedure, and thereafter as the background (‘roadmap’) on which the location of the actively-tracked catheters was displayed.
A modified MRTR sequence was used [17 ]. An asymmetric refocusing echo was selected to reduce the short-T2* arising from the metallic-stylet’s susceptibility. Phase-field dithering (PFD) [17 , 18 ] was employed to reduce the effects of B1 in-homogeneities and inductive RF coupling from multiple neighboring stylets. Although PFD reduced the tracking speed from the fastest possible rate, ~40 frames-per-sec, it provided enhanced tracking Signal-to-Noise-Ratios (SNR), thus generating improved positional information [19 ]. The clinical MRTR sequence used achieved positional tracking of 0.6×0.6×0.6 mm3 spatial resolution. Tracking parameters were; TR/TE/α=3ms/1.89ms/10°, FOV=300 mm, matrix=512, bandwidth=150 kHz, and PFD=2–3, averages=2–3, resulting in frame rates ranging from 16 to 6 Hz.

Multimodal Neuroimaging Acquisition Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Structural MRI and rs-fMRI data were acquired on a 3.0T Siemens Verio MRI system (Siemens Medical System, Erlangen, Germany) with an 8-channel head coil. During scanning, participants were instructed to stay awake and relaxed but to keep their eyes closed, with earplugs and foam padding used to attenuate noise and reduce head motion. High-resolution three-dimensional structural images were acquired using sagittal Magnetization Prepared Rapid Gradient echo sequence ( eld of view: 256×256 mm; matrix: 256 × 256; time of repetition = 1900 ms; time of echo = 2.93 ms; resolution = 1 × 1 mm; ip angle = 9 ). The rs-fMRI images were acquired via an echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence (180 volumes; 64 contiguous slices/volume; FOV: 192 × 192 mm; matrix: 64 × 64; spatial resolution = 3 × 3 × 3 mm; TR = 2000 ms; TE = 30 ms; ip angle = m90 ). An experienced radiologist inspected the previous MR images of these participants to make sure that each patient was free with abnormalities as described in above exclusion criteria (5) .

Comprehensive MRI Protocol for Stroke Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All data were collected using a 3 Tesla Siemens Verio MRI system (Siemens Medical System, Erlangen, Germany) using a 16 channel head coil. The protocol for first MRI scan included axial T1- and T2-weighted images, axial DWI, MR angiography, and dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging; the protocol for follow-up MRI scan included axial T1- and T2-weighted images, axial DWI, MR angiography and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging. The imaging above were acquired as described previously [15 (link)].
Perfusion Mismatch Analyzer (Ver.3.4.0.6, ASIST, Japan; http://asist.umin.jp/index-e.htm) was used to generate a Tmax (time to maximum of the residue function) map and calculate the PWI volume for each patient using standard singular value decomposition. Automatic arterial input function was used automatically but was added or deleted if its quality was not satisfactory. The volume of perfusion defect measured by Tmax ≥ 4, 5 and 6 seconds was estimated. The volume of infarct core was measured by apparent diffusion coefficient imaging in the first MRI, and the final infarct size was measured by FLAIR imaging in the follow-up MRI. All the imaging data were evaluated by an experienced stroke neurologist (Y.C.H.) and a neuroradiologist (Y.H.T.), both blinded to the clinical information.

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.
