How do I remove the skull (as well as others tissues that are not tumor, but have similar intensity) from the MRI images? I have seen methods including removing the largest blob (the skull), but the skull does not enclose the brain fully in the picture I attache...
How Do They Overlap? Even though the differences between BD and BPD may sound straightforward, it can be difficult to distinguish the two conditions in real life. BD and BPD share several factors and there is not a laboratory test, brain imaging exam, or other workup tools to help clinician...
The functional imaging was conducted using a GE 3.0 Tesla Excite system to acquire gradient echo T2*-weighted echoplanar images with blood oxygenation level-dependent contrast. Each volume comprised 35 transaxial contiguous slices with a slice thickness of 3.8 mm to cover almost the whole brain ...
The condition has been present for so long and the individual has tried so many things for so long that they easily become frustrated and do not follow through. The identification of the probable cause is a stark contrast to the wisdom of conventional assessments that brought the individual to...
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) - It is a type of scan that uses a contrast agent such as gadolinium. An MRI of the entire brain and spine can be done. This is another method for the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases. This method is preferred over a CT scan due to its sensitivity...
to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward. Brain activity was observed using functional MRI, which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-...
For short-term use to reduce acid reflux and heartburn, heartburn medications may be helpful, however, I do not recommend taking them long-term for the reasons I will explain in the next section. I recommend that you speak with your doctor before taking heartburn medications. ...
questions was the same across all participants and both conditions. We decided to use the same slider for all questions, although this implied that we had to deviate from the previously validated response format, since our experience is that it is quite convenient for participants in the MRI ...
but the theory is that morning feeding gives people more energy during the day, so they may be more active. In contrast, consuming calories in the evening don’t promote activity. Calories late in the evening may also disrupt circadian rhythms, leading to overall greater feelings of tiredness...
