Segmenting electroencephalography wires reduces radiofrequency shielding artifacts in simultaneous electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging at 7 T

Rolf Gruetter, Thanh Phong Kevin Lê, João Pedro Forjaco Jorge, Özlem Ipek

Purpose: Simultaneous scalp electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (EEG-fMRI) enable noninvasive assessment of brain function with high spatial and temporal resolution. However, at ultra-high field, the data quality of both modali ...

Brain NAD Is Associated With ATP Energy Production and Membrane Phospholipid Turnover in Humans

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Maya Shevlyakova

The brain requires a large amount of energy, mostly derived from the metabolism of glucose, which decreases substantially with age and neurological diseases. While mounting evidence in model organisms illustrates the central role of brain nicotinamide aden ...

A human cerebral and cerebellar 8-channel transceive RF dipole coil array at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Özlem Ipek, Jérémie Daniel Clément

PURPOSE: Dipole antennas that provide high transmit field penetration with large coverage, and their use in a parallel transmit setup, may be advantageous in minimizing B 1+ -field inhomogeneities at ultra-high field, i.e 7T. We have developed and evaluate ...

A combined 32‐channel receive‐loops/8‐channel transmit‐dipoles coil array for whole‐brain MR imaging at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Özlem Ipek, Jérémie Daniel Clément

Purpose Multichannel receive arrays provide high SNR and parallel‐imaging capabilities, while transmit‐only dipole arrays have been shown to achieve a large coverage of the whole‐brain including the cerebellum. The aim of this study was to develop and char ...

Nutritional Ketosis Increases NAD+/NADH Ratio in Healthy Human Brain: An in Vivo Study by 31P-MRS

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Mojgan Masoodi, Nicolas Christinat, Maya Shevlyakova

Ketones represent an important alternative fuel for the brain under glucose hypo-metabolic conditions induced by neurological diseases or aging, however their metabolic consequences in healthy brains remain unclear. Here we report that ketones can increase ...

Radio-frequency coils for ultra-high field magnetic resonance

Özlem Ipek

Radiofrequency (RF) coils are key components of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The primary purpose of this review is to provide a basic theory of RF coil designs and their characterization by bench measurements, electromagnetic field simulations ...

A double-quadrature radiofrequency coil design for proton-decoupled carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy in humans at 7T

Rolf Gruetter, Lijing Xin, Özlem Ipek, Guillaume Donati, Eulalia Serés Roig

Purpose Carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy (13C-MRS) is challenging because of the inherent low sensitivity of 13C detection and the need for radiofrequency transmission at the 1H frequency while receiving the 13C signal, the latter requiring electr ...
