This paper combines optimized CSMRI algorithm (CS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to shorten the scanning time of MRI image data and improve the imaging quality. At the same time, the paper applies functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) based on the principle of blood oxygen level dependence to explore the application value of the nerve function reconstruction therapy system for the rehabilitation of active and passive motor functions in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods. In this paper, 20 patients with acute cerebral infarction were included. The random drawing method was used to divide them into active group and passive group, each with 10 cases. Both groups were treated with conventional medication and acupuncture. The active group used the active mode of the nerve function reconstruction treatment system to guide the patients’ limb active exercise; all training in the passive group is provided by the nerve function reconstruction treatment system to passively exercise the patients’ limbs; both groups undergo BOLD-fMRI examination before treatment and after 2 weeks of treatment and observe the activated parts of the brain functional area and corresponding parts of the two groups before and after treatment. We observe the activation volume and, at the same time, the ADL score. Results. After treatment, the activation volume and ADL scores of brain functional areas in the two groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The combination of optimized CSMRI algorithm (CS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used to evaluate the early rehabilitation efficacy of patients with acute cerebral infarction and has certain guiding value for clinical treatment.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become established as an important imaging modality for the clinical management of disease. This is primarily due to the great tissue contrast inherent in magnetic resonance images of normal and diseased organs. Due to the wide availability of high field magnets and the ability to generate large and rapidly switched magnetic field gradients there is growing interest in applying high resolution MRI to obtain microscopic information. This symposium on MRI microscopy highlights new developments that are leading to increased resolution. The application of high resolution MRI to significant problems in developmental biology and cancer biology will illustrate the potential of these techniques.In combination with a growing interest in obtaining high resolution MRI there is also a growing interest in obtaining functional information from MRI. The great success of MRI in clinical applications is due to the inherent contrast obtained from different tissues leading to anatomical information.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) holds exciting potential as a research and clinical tool for exploring the human auditory system. This noninvasive technique allows the measurement of discrete changes in cerebral cortical blood flow in response to sensory stimuli, allowing determination of precise neuroanatomical locations of the underlying brain parenchymal activity. Application of fMRI in auditory research, however, has been limited. One problem is that fMRI utilizing echo-planar imaging technology (EPI) generates intense noise that could potentially affect the results of auditory experiments. Also, issues relating to the reliability of fMRI for listeners with normal hearing need to be resolved before this technique can be used to study listeners with hearing loss. This preliminary study examines the feasibility of using fMRI in auditory research by performing a simple set of experiments to test the reliability of scanning parameters that use a high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio unlike that presently reported in the literature. We used consonant-vowel (CV) speech stimuli to investigate whether or not we could observe reproducible and consistent changes in cortical blood flow in listeners during a single scanning session, across more than one scanning session, and in more than one listener. In addition, we wanted to determine if there were differences between CV speech and nonspeech complex stimuli across listeners. Our study shows reproducibility within and across listeners for CV speech stimuli. Results were reproducible for CV speech stimuli within fMRI scanning sessions for 5 out of 9 listeners and were reproducible for 6 out of 8 listeners across fMRI scanning sessions. Results of nonspeech complex stimuli across listeners showed activity in 4 out of 9 individuals tested.
