Can resting‐state functional MRI serve as a complement to task‐based mapping of sensorimotor function? A test–retest reliability study in healthy volunteers

Can resting‐state functional MRI serve as a complement to task‐based mapping of sensorimotor... Purpose: To investigate if resting‐state functional MRI (fMRI) reliably can serve as a complement to task‐based fMRI for presurgical mapping of the sensorimotor cortex. Materials and Methods: Functional data were obtained in 10 healthy volunteers using a 3 Tesla MRI system. Each subject performed five bilateral finger tapping experiments interleaved with five resting‐state experiments. Following preprocessing, data from eight volunteers were further analyzed with the general linear model (finger tapping data) and independent component analysis (rest data). Test–retest reliability estimates (hit rate and false alarm rate) for resting‐state fMRI activation of the sensorimotor network were compared with the reliability estimates for task‐evoked activation of the sensorimotor cortex. The reliability estimates constituted a receiver operating characteristics curve from which the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Statistical testing was performed to compare the two groups with respect to reliability. Results: The AUC was generally higher for the task experiments, although median AUC was not significantly different on a group level. Also, the two groups showed comparable levels of within‐group variance. Conclusion: Test–retest reliability was comparable between resting‐state measurements and task‐based fMRI, suggesting that presurgical mapping of functional networks can be a supplement to task‐based fMRI in cases where patient status excludes task‐based fMRI.

Abstract

Purpose: To investigate if resting‐state functional MRI (fMRI) reliably can serve as a complement to task‐based fMRI for presurgical mapping of the sensorimotor cortex. Materials and Methods: Functional data were obtained in 10 healthy volunteers using a 3 Tesla MRI system. Each subject performed five bilateral finger tapping experiments interleaved with five resting‐state experiments. Following preprocessing, data from eight volunteers were further analyzed with the general linear model (finger tapping data) and independent component analysis (rest data). Test–retest reliability estimates (hit rate and false alarm rate) for resting‐state fMRI activation of the sensorimotor network were compared with the reliability estimates for task‐evoked activation of the sensorimotor cortex. The reliability estimates constituted a receiver operating characteristics curve from which the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Statistical testing was performed to compare the two groups with respect to reliability. Results: The AUC was generally higher for the task experiments, although median AUC was not significantly different on a group level. Also, the two groups showed comparable levels of within‐group variance. Conclusion: Test–retest reliability was comparable between resting‐state measurements and task‐based fMRI, suggesting that presurgical mapping of functional networks can be a supplement to task‐based fMRI in cases where patient status excludes task‐based fMRI.
