4939. fMRI
Finger Representations in the Primary Somatosensory Cortex at 3T
– Parallel Imaging vs. Partial Fourier Techniques for the EPI
Sequence
C. Fellner, M. Ruewe, S. Klein, S. Frank, A. Eigenberger, A.
Anker, D. Deuter, M. Knott, K. Rosengarth
University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany
Impact: fMRI with parallel imaging instead of partial
Fourier, a voxel size of (1.5mm)3 and
200 measurements seems to be a reliable technique at 3T for
mapping finger representations in somatosensory cortex,
which is also well suited for application in patients.

4940. The
combination of MR neurography at 3T and 7T for the assessment of
nerve damage in peripheral neuropathies
J. Jende, K. Zhang, C. Mooshage, T. Platt, V. Sturm, C.
Neelsen, J. Oppold, M. Bendszus, H. Schlemmer, M. Ladd, F.
Kurz
German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany
Impact: The results indicate that polyneuropathies are
associated with a fusion of nerve fascicles which results in
an increase in fascicular diameter and a reduced number of
fascicles. This is related to a decline in quantitative
parameters that codify nerve function.

Wijnen, V. Yedavalli, M. Holdhoff, J. Laterra, K. C.
Schreck, D. O. Kamson, G. Oeltzschner
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, United States
Impact: Ketone monoester supplementation is a
complementary therapeutic strategy for many diseases, but
data on ketone dynamics in the brain are limited. High-field
MRS can be used to investigate pharmacokinetics of ketones
in healthy tissue as well as in tumors.

Battista, L. Ott, R. Dortch
Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, United States
Impact: Peripheral nerve trauma results in disability.
Even after surgery, it can take months for
electro-diagnostics to report on success/recovery. FA from
DTI can report on injury-severity and failed surgeries. To
advance for clinical readiness, consistency across multiple
sites is required.

4947. Test-Retest
Reliability of Median and Ulnar Nerve DTI: Comparison on Local
PCA and Patch2self Denoising Methods
K. S. Christopher, L. Ott, R. Dortch
Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, United States
Impact: Peripheral nerve injuries result in loss of
sensorimotor function. FA from DTI can report on injury
severity, but DTI requires high spatial resolution which
results in low SNR data. Effective denoising is required to
improve the quality of the data.
