SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PHYSIOLOGICAL NOISE IN FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
A system and method is provided for controlling physiological-noise in functional magnetic resonance imaging using raw k-space data to extract physiological noise effects. The method can identify these effects when they are separable and directly reflects the artefactual effects on fMRI data, without the need for external monitoring or recording devices and to be compensated for via rigorous statistical analysis modeling of such noise sources. The physiological fluctuations may be treated as global perturbations presented around the origin point in a k-space 2D slice. Each k-space 2D slice may be acquired at a very short repetition time with an effective sampling rate to sample cardiac and respiratory rhythms through proper reordering and phase-unwarping techniques applied to the raw k-space data.
MONITORING DIAPHRAGMATIC RESPONSE TO PHRENIC NERVE STIMULATION
The disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring diaphragmatic response to phrenic nerve stimulation. The method comprises receiving in real-time a diaphragmatic CMAP signal. The method comprises computing a baseline value of a characteristic of the CMAP signal. The characteristic represents a diaphragmatic response intensity to a phrenic nerve stimulation. The method comprises determining a threshold value of the characteristic, representing a boundary of values of the characteristic indicative of upcoming diaphragmatic palsy.
