NCIt synonyms : Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging; BOLD; Blood Oxygen Level Dependant Imaging; Blood Oxygen Level Dependent Imaging;
NCIt related terms : Blood Oxygen Level-Dependent fMRI; BOLD fMRI;
NCIt definition : A magnetic resonance imaging technique that uses the difference between the magnetic
signals of hemoglobin when it is carrying oxygen (oxyhemoglobin) and when it is not
carrying oxygen (deoxyhemoglobin) to detect metabolic activity, and hence neurologic
activity, in the brain.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A functional magnetic resonance imaging technique that uses the difference
between the magnetic signals of hemoglobin when it is carrying oxygen (oxyhemoglobin)
and when it is not carrying oxygen (deoxyhemoglobin) to detect metabolic activity,
and hence neurologic activity, in the brain. (NCI);
