MRI Basic PrinciplesMagnet:
Very powerful (1 to 7T) and homogeneous and static magnetic field, it incites the hydrogen protons to align themselves.
Earth magnetic field 0.00005T!Radiofrequency coils:
Generates and receive transient electromagnetic field, at the frequency of resonance of hydrogen disrupting alignment of protons from low to high energy state.
Energy released can be detected as they return to their base state
Speed to return to base states depends of the tissue they are part of, this generate the T1 and T2 signals.
Gradient coils: Gradual fields aligned in x, y, z axes Allows us to place detected signals in a 3D volume

Anatomical MRI (T1)
![Page 11: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Morphological variationsLarge variability from one brain to the otherCan we make inferences based on population criteria
(age, sex, health) on this morphological basis? What criteria do we use?
![Page 12: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
TechniquesVolumetry
Voxel Based Morphometry (VBM)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)
![Page 13: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principles of volumetry An anatomical image allows us to separate the grey and white
matter One can paint the region of interest on each subject’s scan We can study the variation of this region compared with a specific
parameter (age, neuropsychological score, etc) or different groups (Parkinson’s vs healthy controls)
![Page 14: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Volumetry: exampleWomen suffering from somatoform disorders compared
to control participantsSignificant difference in caudate nucleus volume
Hakala et al. (2004)
![Page 15: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Voxel Based Morphometry:principles
VBM consists in comparing local grey matter density between two populations
This comparison is not dependent on:any particular structure
the experimenter’s subjectivity (as in volumetry, where regions are painted manually)
VBM is performed on the entire brain
![Page 16: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Voxel Based Morphometry:methods
Normalization to a templateSegmentationSpatial smoothingStatistical analysis
![Page 17: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Voxel Based Morphometry:applications
22 Controls and 56 MCI (13 have evolved into dementia) are followed over 22 months
Compared with stable MCIs, progressive MCIs exhibit atrophy in different regions
Hamalainen et al. (2007)
![Page 18: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging:principles
Allows to obtain images based on properties of water molecule displacement in tissues
Reflects tissue properties (position, orientation, anisotropy), especially of white matter
Reflects tissue degradation (axons, myelin, cell wall)
Made possible by an adequate acquisition sequence
![Page 19: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Concept of Diffusion:isotropy and anisotropy
Diffusion is isotropic if it is with the same amplitude in all directions
Diffusion is anisotropic if it prefers one or more directions
Fractional anisotropy characterizes local diffusion (1 > FA > 0)
![Page 20: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Concept of Mean Diffusivity
Isotropy is not enough to characterize diffusion:

DTI: MRI sequenceOne or more images at b=0 (T2 contrast)As many image acquisitions as there are directions at b

DTI: FA and MD applicationsInfluence of age on mean
diffusivity in grey and white matter
Correlation of both measures with age in grey matter, only in peak height in white matter

Basic Principles of fMRIFor a long time, a relationship between brain activity
and deoxygenated hemoglobin (which is paramagnetic) in the blood has been known
In the early 90's it was discovered that an MR pulse sequence could measure the rate of deoxygenated hemoglobin (Thulborn et al.; Ogawa et al.)
This gave rise to Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) fMRI or T2* sequence, which provides us with an indirect measure of brain activity.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
![Page 43: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Positron Emission Tomography principles
PET depends on the injection of a radioactive isotope produced by a cyclotron
From the time of their injection, these radio-isotopes decay and emit positrons, which collide with electrons. These collisions produce opposit γ-rays that are captured the coincidence detectors of the PET scanner
Depending on the molecules that these isotopes bind with, we can get information on metabolism, blood flow, or the release of neurotransmitter (eg. 11C raclopride which binds to striatal D2 receptors)
![Page 44: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

FDG-PET in the detection of tumor
![Page 49: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Water PET Regional cerebral blood flow
(rCBF) is related to glucose and oxygen consumption. Very sensitive to acute
changes… E.g., patients with
Parkinson’s disease who received DBS on STN perform a joystick task while OFF- or ON-DBS. Similar task-induced rCBF
changes in the M1 in both condition, but greater changes in SMA.
Normalizing effect of DBS.

Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
(SPECT)
![Page 51: Introduction to different brain and other clinical imaging methods](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/5681674c550346895ddbfd15/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
SPECTSimilar to PET, SPECT makes use of radioactive tracer.
However the gamma radiation is mesured directly (not following positrons which annihilate with electrons like in PET).
A PET allows for higher resolution images than SPECT be cause of the coincidence detection.
But SPECT can use longer-lived, more easily-obtained radioisotopes than PET
Important if no cyclotron

What are the effects of physical training that can explain improvement in
cognition?
Direct effects on cognition:
Aerobic exercise has an impact on cerebral functions
Indirect effects:
Aerobic exercise acts on moderators of cognitive aging
