Non-Contrast Mapping of Arterial Delay and Functional Connectivity Using Resting-State functional MRI: a Study in Moyamoya Patients

摘要

PurposeTo investigate if delays in resting-state spontaneous fluctuations of the BOLD (sfBOLD) signal can be used to create maps similar to time-to-maximum of the residue function (Tmax) in Moyamoya patients and to determine whether sfBOLD delays affect the results of brain connectivity mapping.
