To investigate neuronal changes depended on a b0 value
on diffusion fMRI, we designed a diffusion-based fMRI
sequence with two different b0 values. One DWI with b=0
s/mm2 (b0_b) was obtained during the first baseline scan
and another DWI with b=0 s/mm2 (b0_a) was again obtained
during the last stimulation scan. A single-shot spin
echo sequence was run for trace-weighted imaging on 16
young subjects. We calculated ADC maps using b0_a and
b0_b called as ADC_a and ADC_b, respectively. Results
and discussion are presented.
