We have developed an automated system for collecting data from monitoring devices for animal functional MRI (fMRI) research to clean the effects of the physiological nuisance signal. Graphical user interface (GUI) is also provided to make a convenient environment for monitoring animal vital signs on one screen. To demonstrate the system’s usefulness, we perform CBV-based resting-state fMRI and compare the changes of temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) in the striatum between the before and after end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) signal correction using RETROICOR algorithm. The software automates the time synchronization among the collected data and will be expanded to automate the noise filtering process.

After one year, current ISMRM & ISMRT members get free access to both the abstracts and videos. Non-members and non-registrants must purchase access via the ISMRM E-Library.
After two years, the meeting proceedings (abstracts) are opened to the public and require no login information. Videos remain behind password for access by members, registrants and E-Library customers.
