Improved data reconstruction method for GRAPPA.

Abstract

This paper presents an improved data reconstruction method for generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisitions (GRAPPA) using multicolumn multiline interpolation (MCMLI). Both nearest acquired line (ky) neighboring points and column (kx) neighboring points from all components of an array coil were used to reconstruct each missing datum through interpolation. A new fitting scheme was designed to estimate the interpolation weights. Both simulations and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the proposed method yields higher-quality data reconstruction than the original GRAPPA method, especially with high acceleration factors.

Intelligence and information processing during a visual search task in children: an event-related potential study.

To investigate the differences in event-related potential parameters related to children's intelligence, we selected 15 individuals from an experimental class of intellectually gifted children and 13 intellectually average children as control to finish three types of visual search tasks (Chinese words, English letters and Arabic numbers). We recorded the electroencephalogram and calculated the peak latencies and amplitudes. Our results suggest comparatively increased P3 amplitudes and shorter P3 latencies in brighter individuals than in less intelligent individuals, but this expected neural efficiency effect interacted with task content. The differences were explained by a more spatially and temporally coordinated neural network for more intelligent children.

The relationship between MRI and PET changes and cognitive disturbances in MS.

Cognitive dysfunction in multiple sclerosis (MS) is present in approximately 50% of the patients. Only moderate correlations have been found between cognitive dysfunction and T(2) lesion load, black holes or atrophy. Cognitive dysfunction in MS is probably related to the overall disease burden of the brain including abnormalities in normal appearing white matter (NAWM) and cortical grey matter, which is undetected with conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Hence, imaging techniques that embrace such abnormalities are needed to achieve better correlation with cognitive dysfunction. MR spectroscopy (MRS) performed with multi-slice echo planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) and PET measurements of brain metabolism as the cortical cerebral metabolic rate of glucose are imaging methods that are able to provide information on axonal loss or dysfunction in both MS lesions and in NAWM and cortical grey matter. Measurements of global NAA using multi-slice EPSI is a new promising method for measurement of the global neuron capacity and can be repeated with only little discomfort and without any risk for the patient.

The parcellation of cortical areas using replicator dynamics in fMRI.

In this paper, we show that replicator dynamics can be used as an exploratory analysis tool to detect subregions of cortical areas on the basis of the similarity between fMRI time series. As similarity measure, we propose to use canonical correlation, a multivariate extension to the typically employed Pearson's correlation coefficient. We applied the replicator process to data obtained from two different experimental paradigms in the search for subregions within the left lateral frontal cortex (LFC). In both cases, the replicator process resulted in a parcellation that corresponds to a recently suggested subdivision of the LFC in anterior-posterior direction. Most notably, these results were very consistent when compared across different measurements of a single subject and across a group of subjects.
