Cerebral blood volume mapping software for diagnosis and monitoring of brain disorders
- Summary
- This technology is an fMRI software toolkit that quantitatively maps cerebral blood volume (CBV) for diagnosis, drug discovery, and drug efficacy testing.
- Technology Benefits
- Semi-automated program for calculation of cerebral blood volume from fMRI imagesGenerates a functional map of multiple regions in the brain Calculates statistics to quantify brain function Can be run on any Linux computer with MATLAB and modest hardware (>2 GHz quad core, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB hard drive)Can be easily implemented in existing MRI facilities
- Technology Application
- Diagnosis of cerebral pathologiesMonitoring changes in cerebral healthPredicting patients at risk for advanced forms of psychiatric disease Drug discovery, monitoring, and efficacy testing Neurology research of the cellular and molecular pathways involved in cerebral pathologies
