Time-resolved two-dimensional thick-slice magnetic resonance digital subtraction angiography in assessing brain tumors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical applicability of two-dimensional (2D) thick-slice, contrast-enhanced magnetic
resonance digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA) with high temporal resolution in diagnosis of brain tumors. Forty-four patients
with brain tumors including, 15 meningiomas, 8 gliomas, 6 metastatic tumors, 4 neuromas, and 2 hemangioblastomas, were studied
with 2D MRDSA with frame rate approximately 1 s. Images were continuously obtained following the initiation of bolus injection
of gadolinium chelates for 40 s and subtraction images were generated in a workstation. We evaluated visualization of normal
cranial vessels on MRDSA and compared MRDSA and intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) with regard to hemodynamic
information. Large cerebral arteries, all venous sinuses, and most tributaries were clearly visualized. A stain was present
in hypervascular tumors including all 15 meningiomas and 2 hemangioblastomas on MRDSA. Presence of a stain demonstrated on
MRDSA and that on IADSA coincided in 16 of 20 cases (Spearman rank correlation value was 0.85). The location, shape, and phase
of the stain on MRDSA were similar to those on IADSA. Two-dimensional MRDSA with high temporal resolution has a unique ability
to demonstrate cerebral hemodynamics, such as IADSA, and can play an important role in assessing brain tumors.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although dynamic contrast-enhanced MR angiography studies for arteriovenous malformations (AVFs) and brain tumors have shown promising results, no formal attempt has yet been made to similarly evaluate dural AVFs. To assess the practical applicability of 2D thick-section contrast enhanced MR digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA) for the diagnosis and management of dural AVFs, MRDSA and intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (IADSA) were comparatively evaluated. METHODS: We performed 80 consecutive MRDSA studies for 25 dural AVFs, including 11 cavenous sinuses, 9 sigmoid sinuses, 2 tentorial sinuses, one anterior condylar vein, one craniocervical junction, and one spine. MR images were continuously obtained following the initiation of a bolus injection of gadrinium chelates and subtraction images were constructed. We thereafter evaluated the imaging quality and hemodynamic information from all 46 MRDSA images performed in parallel with IADSA in either perioperative or follow-up studies. RESULTS: Most MRDSA images detected early venous filling, sinus occlusion, leptomeningeal venous drainage, and varices. It was difficult, however, to identify the feeding arteries because of both the partial volume effect and a low spatial resolution. Most important, MRDSA accurately detected aggressive lesions with leptomeningeal venous drainage and varices. CONCLUSION: Our MRDSA technique was found to have limited value for depicting all the anatomic details of dural AVFs, though it was able to identify important hemodynamic abnormalities related to the risk of hemorrhaging. MRDSA is therefore useful as a less invasive, dynamic angiographic tool, not only for perioperative studies but also for follow-up studies. 相似文献

Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA) in showing
the presence or absence of retrograde venous drainage (RVD) in patients with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF)
involving the transverse sigmoid sinus (TSS) after treatment.
Methods Of 16 patients with DAVF involving the TSS, 13 underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and MRDSA before and after
treatment, and 3 underwent DSA before treatment and DSA and MRDSA after treatment. Five patients underwent these procedures
twice after treatment. A total of 21 examinations after treatment were evaluated retrospectively. The presence or absence
of DAVF and RVD was decided on the basis of the DSA findings. Two neuroradiologists reviewed the MRDSA findings concerning
the presence or absence of DAVF and RVD.
Results DSA showed residual DAVF in 9 and residual RVD in 5 of 21 examinations. MRDSA revealed residual DAVF in 8 of 21 examinations.
MRDSA did not show residual DAVF in one examination because of a very small (low-flow) residual DAVF without RVD. MRDSA identified
residual RVD in 5 of 21 examinations. MRDSA was completely consistent with DSA concerning the presence or absence of residual
RVD.
Conclusion MRDSA could evaluate the presence or absence of RVD in patients with DAVF involving TSS after treatment. MRDSA may give reliable
information as to whether patients with DAVF involving the TSS should undergo additional DSA after treatment. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Array spatial sensitivity encoding techniques (ASSET) were employed to improve the temporal resolution of two-dimensional (2D) thick-slice contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA). METHODS: 2D MRDSA using ASSET was performed in 28 patients via fast spoiled gradient-echo sequence (TR/TE 5.4/1.5 ms; FA 60; FOV 24x24 cm; matrix size 256x256; slicethickness 50-70 mm), followed by a bolus injection of gadolinium chelate and subsequent saline flush, for 40 seconds on a sagittal plane. Images were evaluated for visualization of normal intracranial vessels and brain lesions utilizing a three-point scale; additionally, in 10 of the 28 patients, results were compared with those of conventional 2D MRDSA. RESULTS: 2D MRDSA using ASSET, which improved temporal resolution from 1.45 to 0.77 seconds, displayed image quality comparable to that of conventional 2D MRDSA. Moreover, this technique afforded superior detectability with respect to early venous filling in patients with arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). CONCLUSION: ASSET improves the temporal resolution of 2D MRDSA without compromising spatial resolution. 相似文献

We assessed the feasibility of MR digital subtraction angiography (DSA) using parallel imaging and keyhole data sampling in the diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases (CVDs) in 11 patients. Their diseases included arterial trunk stenosis/occlusion (n=4), aneurysm (n=3), arteriovenous malformation (n=2), venous angioma (n=1), and sinus thrombosis (n=1). The technique depicted not only anatomical features, comparably to MR angiography (n=10/11), but also hemodynamics such as collateral flow at a temporal resolution of 1.68 s/frame. When compared with conventional angiograms (n=7), details were missed in four patients (incomplete demonstration of aneurysmal neck in two and poor separation of AVM components in two). Although inferior to conventional angiography, this technique can provide both anatomical and hemodynamic information of CVDs. 相似文献

Assessment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) by conventional catheter angiography carries risks; moreover, this invasive procedure is often repeated for follow-up. We investigated the clinical applicability of two-dimensional thick-slice, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance digital subtraction angiography (2D MRDSA) with high temporal resolution in the assessment of AVMs. We performed 78 2D MRDSA studies of treated or untreated small to medium-size AVMs on a 1.5 tesla imager. Two observers independently evaluated demonstration of nidus flow void on T2-weighted images and each component of the AVM on 2D MRDSA employing a three-point grading scale. In 55 patients with AVMs, the mean ratings of nidus flow voids, feeding vessels, nidi, draining vessels and early venous filling on MRI were 2.8, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 and 2.8, respectively. sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values for an AVM using 2D MRDSA were 87, 100, 100 and 78%, respectively and for nidus flow voids on T2-weighted images 80, 91, 96 and 66%, respectively. 2D MRDSA can thus demonstrate haemodynamic features of AVMs. It can be employed as a less invasive, dynamic angiographic tool for follow-up of AVMs previously delineated by catheter angiography. 相似文献

We present the characteristic imaging findings of hypoplasia of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in two cases, one accompanied
by an intracranial aneurysm. Finding of a diffuse luminal narrowing of the ICA on MR angiography or digital subtraction angiography
(DSA) could wrongly evoke severe acquired diseases such as dissection or atherosclerosis. Absence of associated wall thickening
and flow disturbances on color Doppler sonography (CDS) should suggest carotid hypoplasia. Confirmation of the diagnosis is
obtained by CT of the skull showing a small carotid canal. Non-invasive procedures are sufficient to differentiate this rare
congenital anomaly from acquired string signs.

Purpose
To evaluate a novel magnetic resonance (MR) angiography (MRA) of three‐dimensional (3D) MR digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA) without contrast material, which is essentially 3D true steady‐state free precession (SSFP) with selected inversion recovery (IR) pulse using multiple cardiac phase acquisitions with a short increment delay in the assessment of normal cranial arteries, as a feasibility study before clinical use.Materials and Methods
Serial MRA images using 3D MRDSA without contrast material were acquired from 10 healthy volunteers. Visualization of normal cranial arteries with time‐spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time‐SLIP) MRDSA was qualitatively compared with the conventional MRA method, 3D time‐of‐flight (TOF)‐MRA.Results
In all volunteers, serial 3D MRDSAs containing hemodynamic information were successfully imaged. The results of visualization of the branches of the cranial arteries with Time‐SLIP MRDSA were comparable to those of 3D TOF‐MRA. The mean scores ± standard deviations for normal cerebral arteries (internal carotid arteries, middle cerebral arteries, anterior cerebral arteries, posterior cerebral arteries, and basilar arteries) were 2.4 ± 0.5, 2.3 ± 0.5, 2.0 ± 0.7, 2.3 ± 0.7, and 2.5 ± 0.7, respectively.Conclusion
Time‐SLIP 3D MRDSA is a simple method for obtaining hemodynamic information. Although more MR sequence improvement is needed, it can play an important role in assessing cranial arteries without contrast material. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2009;30:214–218. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献9.
Time-resolved 3D contrast-enhanced MRA with GRAPPA on a 1.5-T system for imaging of craniocervical vascular disease: initial experience 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Introduction: For three-dimensional (3D) imaging with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the cerebral and cervical circulation, both a high temporal and a high spatial resolution with isovolumetric datasets are of interest. In an initial evaluation, we analyzed the potential of contrast-enhanced (CE) time-resolved 3D-MRA as an adjunct for neurovascular MR imaging. Methods: In ten patients with various cerebrovascular disorders and vascularized tumors in the cervical circulation, high-speed MR acquisition using parallel imaging with the GeneRalized Autocalibrating Partially Parallel Acquisitions (GRAPPA) algorithm on a 1.5-T system with a temporal resolution of 1.5 s per dataset and a nearly isovolumetric spatial resolution was applied. The results were assessed and compared with those from conventional MRA and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). Results: CE time-resolved 3D-MRA enabled the visualization and characterization of high-flow arteriovenous shunts in cases of vascular malformations or hypervascularized tumors. In steno-occlusive disease, the method provided valuable additional information about altered vessel perfusion compared to standard MRA techniques such as time-of-flight (TOF) MRA. The use of a nearly isovolumetric voxel size allowed a free-form interrogation of 3D datasets. Its comparatively low spatial resolution was found to be the major limitation. Conclusion: In this preliminary analysis, CE time-resolved 3D-MRA was revealed to be a promising complementary MRA sequence that enabled the visualization of contrast flow dynamics in various types of neurovascular disorders and vascularized cervical tumors. 相似文献

Acquire multiple longitudinal locations in the lower extremity after a single contrast injection, appropriate table translation and contrast injection are required. An approximate model based on constant bolus velocity was developed to describe the space-time course of a contrast bolus in the lower extremity. This model was verified in dynamic MR angiograms acquired in a group of patients using time-resolved 2D MR digital subtraction angiography (MRDSA). From this contrast bolus passage model, a timing algorithm for table translation and contrast injection was developed for bolus chase MRDSA, subsequently validated in bolus chase 2D MRDSA experiments. All targeted major peripheral arteries were well depicted in bolus chase 2D MRDSA using this timing algorithm and a single 15-ml contrast dose. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to apply time-of-flight MR angiography to renal transplant arteries with comparison of two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) sequences and to correlate the findings with colour flow sonography (CFS) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). A total of 102 MR studies were performed in 101 patients: 87 with the 2D-FLASH sequence (18 repeated after Gd-DOTA administration), 49 with the 3D-FISP (both in 34). All patients were also studied with CFS and 15 with intra-arterial DSA. The 3D sequence produced good-quality MR angiograms in 94% of cases (82% in 2D). Gd-DOTA infusion improved the quality of the 2D angiograms in 7 of 18 cases. Only these patients were included in the remainder of the evaluation (90 patients with 103 arteries). CFS showed 72 normal and 10 abnormal arteries. In this group, the 2D sequence led to 7 (12%) false positives of stenosis and the 3D sequence yielded 1 (3%). Correlation between MR angiography and DSA was obtained for 21 arteries (15 patients) with suspicion of arterial complications. The 2D-FLASH (n = 13) and the 3D-FISP (n = 12) MR sequences allowed the correct diagnosis of all main artery complications (14 stenoses and 4 thromboses) without any false negatives and without discordance when both sequences were performed (n = 4). In the 3 other cases with a normal main artery, 2 segmental thromboses were correctly identified by both sequences and 1 stenosis of a segmental branch was correctly identified by the 2D sequence only but misdiagnosed as a thrombosis with the 3D sequence. Grading of the severity of stenoses was inaccurate with both sequences. It is concluded that the 3D time-of-flight MR sequence provides better MR angiograms than the 2D, with fewer false positives for stenosis. No false-negative arterial complications were noted.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to clarify and compare the accuracy of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography
using multidetector-row helical CT (MDCT angiography) and gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography using three-dimensional Fourier
transformation gradient-echo sequence (3D MR angiography) for preoperative evaluation of renal arteries in living renal donors.
Materials and methods A total of 42 living renal donor candidates underwent both MDCT angiography and 3D MR angiography before digital subtraction
angiography (DSA). Each MDCT angiogram and 3D MR angiogram was prospectively interpreted, and the findings were compared with
the DSA results.
Results MDCT angiography identified all of the 12 supernumerary arteries detected by DSA, whereas 3D MR angiography identified only
8. MDCT angiography identified all of the 19 proximal arterial branches detected by DSA, whereas 3D MR angiography identified
only 16.
Conclusion A more accurate depiction of renal arteries in living renal donors can be achieved with MDCT angiography than with 3D MR angiography. 相似文献

We have used two-dimensional contrast-enhanced MR angiography for a single thick slice and called it MR DSA. This technique realizes nearly subsecond scanning per image and is therefore superior to other types of contrast-enhanced MR angiography in temporal resolution. To determine the optimal parameters of this technique, we calculated SSR (the signal of brain to the signal of contrast agent ratio) in various settings. We also obtained MR DSA images of 26 cases. We believe that MR DSA may play a supportive role in conventional MR imaging or angiography, since its high temporal resolution is of value in the evaluation of cerebrovascular diseases. 相似文献

We report the hemodynamic assessment in a patient with cerebral arteriovenous malformation using time-resolved magnetic resonance angiography (TR-MRA), a non-invasive modality, and catheter-based digital subtraction angiography (DSA), before and after embolization. Comparison of the results showed that TR-MRA produced very fast dynamic images and the findings closely matched those obtained at DSA. For initial work-up and follow-up studies in patients with vascular lesions, TR-MRA and DSA are therefore comparable. 相似文献

For many clinical questions, less invasive angiography methods have at least in part already replaced digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a routine diagnostic procedure. However, temporal resolution achievable with DSA is still indispensable in some patients. Recent advances in MR hardware performance and imaging techniques permit sub-second frame rate MR angiographies to be performed using a rapidly repeated fast T1 weighted gradient echo sequence during administration of a contrast bolus, and subsequent complex subtraction in k-space to emphasise the difference in phase between stationary tissue and contrast-enhanced blood. This technique allows two-dimensional projection angiograms to be obtained at a temporal frame rate of three images per second and with a spatial in-plane resolution of about one square millimetre. This time-resolved information is important for (a) the detection and follow-up of arteriovenous malformations, including their arterial feeders, the size of the nidus and their venous drainage patterns, (b) the demonstration of dural arteriovenous fistulas, recognised as an early filling of a dural sinus during the early arterial phase, and (c) the characterization of the vascularisation of brain tumours. With regards to vascular malformations, the direction of venous drainage and therefore the most pressing clinical questions concerning the need for therapeutic intervention can be ascertained. This technique is the only MR imaging method able to provide dynamic information on the cerebral vasculature. It therefore constitutes a helpful adjunct to the imaging armentarium in many clinical situations. 相似文献

Three-dimensional (3D) digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the latest development in the neurovascular imaging armamentarium. 3D-DSA combines the anatomic resolution of DSA with 3D visualization abilities previously offered by only CT or MR angiography. 3D-DSA provides more detailed information than does DSA alone in the evaluation of neurovascular lesions, such as cerebral aneurysms. However, the inability of 3D-DSA to simultaneously image osseous and vascular structures is noted as a weakness of this technique compared with CT angiography. We describe a new 3D digital angiography reconstruction algorithm that allows the concurrent display of the cerebral vasculature and the osseous landmarks. 相似文献

MR digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a new diagnostic tool capable of producing dynamic images of the cerebral circulation with the injection of gadopentetate dimeglumine into a peripheral vein. Previous reports have concentrated on its potential as a noninvasive technique for the study of pial arteriovenous malformations. In this report, we present our early findings with MR DSA in the evaluation of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulae. 相似文献

Atheromasic lesions and other pathologic conditions of the arterial vessels of the neck are the most frequent causes of cerebrovascular disease. Diagnostic imaging currently employs digital subtraction angiography (DSA), Doppler, and color-Doppler US to study these conditions. Digital subtraction intraarterial angiography (DSAA) can provide both an early diagnosis and an accurate preoperative depiction of neck vessels; however, in spite of its effective value, it still remains an invasive technique. Magnetic Resonance angiography (angio-MR) is the latest technique allowing the depiction of neck vessels morphology. It shares with digital angiography the capability of supplying spatial depiction of all the examined vascular structures, and with US its noninvasiveness. The authors investigated angio-MR capabilities in providing accurate and detailed images of neck arteries; the images were then compared with DSA ones. Thirty patients with cerebrovascular diseases were studied. MR imaging was performed with a 1.5 T unit with a dedicated coil, and gradient-echo sequences were employed. Refocused sequences for flow were acquired on both the coronal and the sagittal planes, with the following parameters: TR 40, TE 10, flip angle 25 degrees, acquisition volumes 80-35 mm, 64-15 frames. Digital angiography demonstrated 101 vascular lesions: 27 slight stenoses (less than 30%), 19 mild stenoses (31-70%), 12 severe stenoses (71-99%), 7 occlusions, 14 coilings, 7 kinkings, and 15 hypoplasias of vertebral artery. In slight stenoses, angio-MR underestimated the condition in 11/27 patients. In mild and severe stenoses, as well as in occlusive diseases, angio-MR tended to overestimate the condition. In coiling, kinking, and hypoplasia, angio-MR yielded the same results as DSA. 相似文献
