Imaging and Anesthesia Protocol Optimization in Sedated Clinical Resting-State fMRI
Sevoflurane anesthesia may compromise the visibility of fMRI RSN, particularly impacting motor networks. This finding suggests that the type of anesthesia is a critical factor in rs-fMRI quality. We did not observe the association of the MR acquisition technique or underlying structural abnormality with the RSN robustness.
