In a method to determine at least one sodium value describing the 23Na+ content in at least one region of interest in a target region in the body of a patient, at least one sodium image data set of the target region is acquired with a magnetic resonance imaging device using sodium-23 imaging, the sodium image data set including image data dependent on the occurrence of sodium. The at least one region of interest is defined for which the sodium value is to be determined in the sodium image data set. The sodium value is determined by comparison of the image data in the region of interest with reference image data of at least one subject with a defined 23Na+ content, the reference image data having been acquired with the same sequence. A local coil can be used to implement the method that has a phantom integrated therein that allows the sodium image data set and the reference image data to be acquired together. 1.

A system for closed-loop pulsed transcranial stimulation for cognitive enhancement. During operation, the system identifies a region of interest (ROI) in a subject's brain and then estimates ROI source activations based on the estimated source of the ROI. It is then determined if a subject is in a bad encoding state based on the ROI source activations. Finally, one or more electrodes are activated to apply a pulsed transcranial stimulation (tPS) therapy when the subject is in a bad encoding state, a predefined external event or behavior occurs, or the subject is in a consolidation state during sleep.

An MR Spectroscopy (MRS) system and approach is provided for diagnosing painful and non-painful discs in chronic, severe low back pain patients (DDD-MRS). A DDD-MRS pulse sequence generates and acquires DDD-MRS spectra within intervertebral disc nuclei for later signal processing and diagnostic analysis. An interfacing DDD-MRS signal processor receives output signals of the DDD-MRS spectra acquired and is configured to optimize signal-to-noise ratio by an automated system that selectively conducts optimal channel selection, phase and frequency correction, and frame editing as appropriate for a given acquisition series. A diagnostic processor calculates a diagnostic value for the disc based upon a weighted factor set of criteria that uses MRS data extracted from the acquired and processed MRS spectra for multiple chemicals that have been correlated to painful vs. non-painful discs. A display provides an indication of results for analyzed discs as an overlay onto a MRI image of the lumbar spine. 1.

In some embodiments, spinal disc degeneracy is diagnosed according to a decay variance map generated by determining a variance in T2 decay over time within each pixel or pixel subset of an MRI image. A region of interest may be defined as including nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) areas, and excluding cartilaginous endplate (EP) areas of a disc. A decay variance for a pixel or groups of pixels is calculated by determining ratios between consecutive intensity values of the T2 signal, determining differences between consecutive ratios, and summing the absolute values of the determined differences. Decay variance mapping may be used to diagnose degeneracy in other tissues, such as in joints.

Disclosed methodologies provide improved predictors of patient treatment adherence by using person-specific subjective experience and social-environmental factors. Methodologies combine emotion and data sciences. Advanced tools capture, measure, store, and analyze self-report of subjective experiences using digital applications and platforms. Patient-specific data is obtained regarding emotional or affective determinants and social determinants for generating a calculated composite score of the patient's probability of adherence or achievement relative to target outcomes, e.g. adherence to treatment plans, wellness activities, etc. for a subject individual. Internal/subjective factors are judged by self-report measures designed to validly judge tested factors based on a patient adjusting continuously-variable graphical interfaces to capture and measure subjective experiences. Emotional characteristics may include perception and intensity in each category of sickness versus wellness, stress, depression, anxiety, pain, and feelings about most recent health provider/staff interaction (with determined intensity for choices of Delighted, Satisfied, Meh, Disappointed, Frustrated). Emotional characteristics may be considered among health, and social characteristics in measuring potential obstacles to adherence.

A method for monitoring physical progress of a target object undergoing stem cell treatment (SCT) for determining SCT effectiveness and adapting the SCT is provided. Motion sensors within a wearable motion monitoring device configured as a body suit monitor micro-movements of body parts of the target object on a time basis. Micro-movement data is recorded, tabulated, and summarized on the time basis. The method employs an SCT monitoring system (SCTMS) that records physiological condition parameters of the target object in a predefined stem cell treatment checklist using user inputs, neural activity data received from neural sensors, and motor activity data received from the motion sensors. The SCTMS performs a baseline analysis of the physical progress of the target object based on the physiological condition parameters. The SCTMS generates and renders a physical progress report and a stem cell treatment plan based on the baseline analysis on an electronic device. 1.
