Abstract

Computerized frequency analysis was used to quantitate the EEG effects of intrathecal metrizamide in 22 patients undergoing radiographic procedures. In comparison to baseline recordings, no changes were found immediately after the procedure, but a significant (p less than 0.001) shift to lower frequencies was seen at 16 to 26 hours. Individually significant changes were infrequent with lumbar myelograms or low-dose cisternograms and were most prominent in patients who had the combination of high metrizamide dose, cervical level, and a complex procedure with prolonged supine positioning.

A penalized likelihood approach to magnetic resonance image reconstruction.

Currently, images acquired via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology are reconstructed using the discrete inverse Fourier transform. While computationally convenient, this approach is not able to filter out noise. This is a serious limitation because the amount of noise in MRI and fMRI can be substantial. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach to reconstruction, based on penalized likelihood methodology. In particular, we focus on non-linear shrinkage estimators and show that this approach achieves a great reduction in integrated mean squared error (IMSE) of the estimated image with respect to the currently used estimator. This approach is extremely fast and easy to implement computationally. In addition, it can be combined with various alternative approaches to MR image reconstruction and can be easily adapted to other, non-MRI contexts, in which the observed data and the quantities of interest are related via a linear transform.
