- W2020234354 abstract "Gradient echo (GE) and echo planar imaging (EPI) techniques are two different approaches to functional MRI (fMRI). In contrast to GE sequences, the ultra short EPI technique facilitates fMRI experiments with high spatial and temporal resolution or mapping of the whole brain. Although it has become the method of choice for fMRI, EPI is generally restricted to modern scanners with a strong gradient system. The aim of our study was to evaluate the applicability of EPI for fMRI of the motor cortex using a 1.5 T scanner with a conventional gradient system of 10 mT/m (rise time: 1 ms). Therefore, EPI was compared with a well-established high-resolution fast low-angle shot (FLASH) technique (matrix size 1282). The FLASH technique was applied additionally with a 64(2) matrix size to exclude influences caused by different spatial resolution, because the EPI sequence was restricted to a 64(2) matrix size. A total of 35 healthy volunteers were included in this study. The task consisted of clenching and spreading of the right hand. FLASH and EPI techniques were compared regarding geometric distortions as well as qualitative and quantitative fMRI criteria: Mean signal increase between activation and rest and the area of activation were measured within the contralateral, ipsilateral, and supplementary motor cortex. The quality of subtraction images between activation and rest, as well as the quality of z-maps and time course within activated regions of interest, was evaluated visually. EPI revealed significant distortions of the anterior and posterior brain margins; lateral distortions (relevant for the motor cortex) could be neglected in most cases. The mean signal increase was significantly higher using FLASH 1282 compared to FLASH 64(2) and EPI 64(2), whereas the activated areas proved to be smaller in FLASH 1282 functional images. Both results can be explained by well-documented partial volume effects, caused by different voxel size. Similar quality of the subtraction images and of the time courses in different regions of interest were found for all techniques under investigation, but slightly reduced quality of z-map in FLASH 1282. Within the limits of reproducibility and measurement accuracy, the location of contralateral activation was similar using FLASH and EPI sequences. In conclusion, EPI proved to be a reliable technique for fMRI of the motor cortex, even on an MR scanner with a conventional gradient system." @default.
