Options for human and small animal MRI life science research
Advanced line of MR Safe and MR Conditional solutions
BIOPAC® offers a series of amplifiers, electrodes, electrode leads, transducers, and stimulus options for safe data acquisition of physiological signals in the MRI environment. Specialized cable systems provide isolated and RF filtered interfacing between the subject/chamber panel and the control room.
Record physiological signals such as: Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electromyogram (EMG), Electroculogram (EOG), Electrogastrogram (EGG), Temperature, Respiration, Electrodermal Activity (EDA, EDR, SCL, SCR or GSR), Pulse, Hand Grip Strength (Dynamometry), CO2 and O2 Gas Analysis, Pulse Oximeter (SpO2), Finger Twitch, and a variety of pressure based signals. Microvascular blood perfusion can be measured with the Laser Doppler Flow System. Electrical stimulation is also available for constant current and constant voltage electrical stimulation. Physiological signals in the MRI can be used for psychophysiological studies, neuromarketing, subject monitoring, and more.

Run the Magnetic Resonance Imaging routines for automated signal conditioning to focus on the signal of interest by removing MR gradient and other interference. Use individual filter options from the Transform and Analysis menus to further refine data cleaning parameters.
When subjects are monitored in the fMRI, imaging sequence types impact the physiological signal recording.
In these cases, the resulting scanning artifact can’t be removed by the MRI Smart Amplifiers because it falls close enough to the range and type of the physiological signal of interest. However, the data can be cleaned in AcqKnowledge by employing a comb-band-stop (CBS) filter to remove the offending harmonics, in post-processing or real time. The data will be well-scrubbed of artifact but some non-harmonic-related artifact presence will remain; this artifact is likely related to non-homogeneous qualities associated with the subject’s body and switching magnetic fields.

fNIR Imaging Systems are stand-alone functional brain imaging solutions for continuous NIR spectroscopy (NIRS). They provide an in-lab cognitive function assessment and eliminate a great many of the drawbacks of a functional MRI. fNIR optical imaging technology measures neural activity and hemodynamic response in the prefrontal cortex. Subjects wear an fNIR sensor (IR light sources […]
