Simultaneous multi-slice EPI acquisitions using
multiband (MB) excitation have recently been
demonstrated to provide high resolution fMRI data with
significantly reduced acquisition time, sufficient
enough to directly determine cardiac and respiratory
influences from spontaneous activation in the brain.
These have mainly been applied to adult subjects, but
here we demonstrate MB EPI applied to preterm infants
with cardiac rates exceeding 160 bpm. Resting state fMRI
data collected with MB factors of 9 demonstrate it is
possible to distinguish the neonatal cardiac physiology
from activations in resting state networks.
