fMRI for BPS: A Descriptive Study of Findings and Symptoms

The fMRI is acquired using a Siemens 3.0T MRI scanner. BOLD functional images are scanned using an echo planar imaging (EPI) sequence. The scanning parameters are: TR=2s, matrix size of 64\*64, number of layers=30, layer thickness=3.75\*3.75\*4.5mm, and bottom-up interval scanning. A total of 540 whole brain functional images are acquired.
