  1. Slicer fMRI introduction

  2. Todo: stress that the current effort is basic infrastructure…

  3. Goal… augment slicer to be a platform for fMRI analysis

  4. strong coupling to anatomical analysis • situate fMRI results in anatomy of individual • make ROIs for use in fMRI analysis

  5. workflow / human factors • easy to use • Wendy Plesniak

  6. open source • Matlab $$$ • buy in from research community • distributed development

  7. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging & fMRI data • Protocols and modeling • Analysis and inference • Visualization • Tools: Ibrowser, fMRIEngine • (hands-on demos) Wendy Plesniak, Haiying Liu

  8. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications • What is BOLD-fMRI? BOLD-fMRI is a technique for determining which parts of the brain are activated by different types of sensation (sight, sound), activity (tapping a finger), or by performing cognitive tasks. This functional "brain mapping" is achieved by detecting the increased blood flow to the activated areas of the brain during a sequence of MRI scans.

  9. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications • How is it being used? Mapping of the brain Informing neurosurgery Understanding of disease/disease processes … Neuromarketing...

  10. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging fMRI: volumetric time-series, e.g. acquire one volume every 2 sec for 5 min, to study brain function over time. MRI: single volumetric dataset to study brain structure (One slice in a single volume.) High res: 1mm3 voxels (Same slices from three volumes.) Low res: ~3mm3 voxels

  11. fMRI Setup

  12. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications fMRI: data • Takes temporal volumetric sampling of blood oxygen level in blood flow (BOLD signal) in brain of subject performing a motor or cognitive task, or attending to a sensory stimulus. • Experimental protocol: blocked or event-related design • Data collected: a time-series of brain volumes (e.g. 150 x 64 x 64 x 32 voxels) • Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) signal • indirect measure of neural activity •  neural activity  blood oxygen  fMRI signal

  14. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications Form statistical inferences: • test hypothesis that protocol-related signal is present in the data • e.g. using t-test • Convert into a p-value • Threshold to form a parametric map of activation

  15. Slicer workshop: prototype tools for fMRI and multi-volume applications fMRI: what to visualize? • Statistical parametric map of activation • (superimposed on high resolution anatomical MRI image) 2. Interactive plot of voxel time-course, compared to protocol (visual check)
