Many gross pathological conditions are identifiable either by recognition of associated morphological or contrast-related changes. Angiography provides intricate depiction of intracranial vasculature and again provides vital diagnostic information related to abnormal cerebral blood supply. However, even with these techniques, we are left ignorant of functional organization and tissue viability. Half a century ago, Penfield and others proposed a homuncular cortical organization of sensory, motor and perceptive processing areas [l]. Subsequently many studies have addressed the complex networking and communication pathways between such centers, that make up the functional brain. In the past 20 years, these studies have been revolutionized with the advent of non-invasive imaging techniques which can be made sensitive to functional activity. Positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and \"functional\" MRI (fMRI) may all provide images related to regional cerebral blood flow, shown to increase in appropriate cortical areas in response to peripheral activation","PeriodicalId":177121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of WESCON'95","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122161793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noteworthy for exceptionally good sub-millimeter spatial and sub-second temporal resolution, MRI is now demonstrating the potential of tracing the links between tissue function, metabolism, blood flow and hemodynamics in both normal and disease states. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can utilize conventional MRI technology and equipment to image the intrinsic hemodynamic and metabolic changes that may occur in human cognitive functions such as vision, motor skills, language, memory and indeed in all mental processes. These techniques have also revolutionized detection of disease states such as stroke. MRI can within minutes acquire functional images non-invasively from an individual in any plane or volume at comparatively high-resolutions and then overlay observed functional centers of activation onto the underlying cerebral anatomy, imaged with the same MRI scanner. FMRl is rapidly evolving beyond the localization of visual, motor, and somatosensory responses to use in resective surgery of tumors, localization of \"handedness\", and elucidation of brain function and metabolism altered by pathologies such as stroke. Given the large number of clinical MRI scanners operating worldwide, fMRl will give rise to routine clinical assessment of brain and organ function, in addition to the anatomical imaging roles of present-day MRI.","PeriodicalId":177121,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of WESCON'95","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129259186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comparison of various performance criteria, such as power consumption, noise immunity, capacitive loading, speed and packaging, will reveal that GTL provides a compelling solution in both point-to-point and backplane environments. Finally, guidelines for system designs using TI’S GTL products will be addressed as well, including generating the needed voltage supplies and proper termination techniques.
