چکیده انگلیسی
Recent theoretical and experimental work has suggested that spin echo (SE) functional MRI (fMRI) has improved localization of neural activity compared to gradient echo (GE) fMRI at high field strengths, albeit with a decrease in blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast. The present study investigated spatial and temporal variations in GE and SE fMRI at 3 T in response to a brief visual stimulus. The results demonstrate that SE BOLD contrast reaches its maximum amplitude more quickly than does GE contrast at long echo times. We have called this metric the peak hemodynamic activation time (PHAT). Because BOLD changes in response to increased neuronal activity occur earlier in the microvasculature and then later propagate into the venous compartment, these results provide further evidence that SE-based BOLD contrast provides superior localization to the site of activation at 3 T. Spatial overlay of SE and GE PHAT maps onto structural images reveal markedly different spatial profiles and further support the interpretation that shorter peak times correlate to improved spatial sensitivity.
