Diffusion-weighted imaging of the abdomen at 3.0 Tesla: image quality and apparent diffusion coefficient reproducibility compared with 1.5 Tesla

Purpose

To compare single‐shot echo‐planar imaging (SS EPI) diffusion‐weighted MRI (DWI) of abdominal organs between 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3.0T in healthy volunteers in terms of image quality, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and ADC reproducibility.

Materials and Methods

Eight healthy volunteers were prospectively imaged in this HIPAA‐compliant IRB‐approved study. Each subject underwent two consecutive scans at both 1.5 and 3.0T, which included breathhold and free‐breathing DWI using a wide range of b‐values (0 to 800 s/mm²). A blinded observer rated subjective image quality (maximum score= 8), and a separate observer placed regions of interest within the liver, renal cortices, pancreas, and spleen to measure ADC at each field strength. Paired Wilcoxon tests were used to compare abdominal DWI between 1.5T and 3.0T for specific combinations of organs, b‐values, and acquisition techniques.

Results

Subjective image quality was significantly lower at 3.0T for all comparisons (P = 0.0078– 0.0156). ADC values were similar at 1.5T and 3.0T for all assessed organs, except for lower liver ADC at 3.0T using b0‐500‐600 and breathhold technique. ADC reproducibility was moderate at both 1.5T and 3.0T, with no significant difference in coefficient of variation of ADC between field strengths.

Conclusion

Compared with 1.5T, SS EPI at 3.0T provided generally similar ADC values, however, with worse image quality. Further optimization of abdominal DWI at 3.0T is needed. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2011;33:128–135. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.     

3.0T MR弥散加权成像评价肝纤维化的临床应用

目的 探讨肝脏弥散加权成像ADC值评价肝纤维化程度的临床应用价值.方法 选取肝纤维化、肝硬化患者50例及正常人14例行肝脏常规MRI及DWI,依据纤维化程度分为6组:S0(14例)、S1(9例)、S2(14例)、S3(7例)、S4(3例)、肝硬化(17例).DWI采用4个b值(b=300,600,800,1000 s/mm2)成像,ADC分析软件进行图像后处理,获得平均ADC值.Spearman相关分析评价ADC值与肝纤维化程度的相关性.ROC曲线分析各b值条件下ADC值诊断S≥1、S≥2、 S≥3及肝硬化的效力.结果 肝脏ADC值与肝纤维化程度显著负相关(P＜0.001),4个b值条件下,ADC值在不同程度肝纤维化组间的差别均有统计学意义(P＜0.01).ROC分析结果显示各b值条件下,ADC值用来评价纤维化程度均有统计学意义(P＜0.05),诊断S≥3时的AUC相对最高;诊断同一程度纤维化时,以b取600 s/mm2时,AUC相对较高,但各b值下AUC的95%置信区间有交叉.b取600 s/mm2时,以ADC值≤1.489×10-3mm2/s为标准,诊断S≥1的灵敏度为84%,特异度为78.6%,准确性为84.4%;取1.453×10-3mm2/s为诊断界值,ADC诊断S≥2的 灵敏度为80.5%,特异度为73.9%,准确性 为83.5%;以ADC值≤1.414×10-3mm2/s为标准,诊断S≥3的灵敏度为81.5%,特异度为73%,准确性85.5%;以ADC值≤1.339×10-3mm2/s为标准,诊断肝硬化的灵敏度70.6%,特异度87.2%,准确性82.4%.结论 MR-DWI可以定量评价肝纤维化,有一定的临床应用价值.     

Comparison of multiple sclerosis lesions at 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relative sensitivity of MR scanning for multiple sclerosis (MS) at 1.5 Tesla (T) and 3.0 T using identical acquisition conditions, as is typical of multicenter clinical trials. METHODS: Twenty-five subjects with MS were scanned at 1.5 T and 3.0 T using fast spin echo, and T(1)-weighted SPGR with and without gadolinium contrast injections. Image data, blinded to field strength, were analyzed using automated segmentation and lesion counting. RESULTS: Relative to scanning at 1.5 T, the 3.0 T scans showed a 21% increase in the number of detected contrast enhancing lesions, a 30% increase in enhancing lesion volume and a 10% increase in total lesion volume. DISCUSSION: The improved detection ability using high-field MR imaging is prominent even when sequence parameters are optimized around the midfield units. Multicenter trials using both 1.5 T and 3.0 T instruments may be affected by these sensitivity differences.     

A comparison of MR cholangiopancreatography at 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla

Clinical MR systems operating at 3.0 Tesla have the potential to significantly improve spatial resolution due to the boost in intrinsic signal to noise ratio. However, body imaging at these field strengths presents a number of technical challenges. We performed a prospective pilot study in which 10 patients underwent an MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) examination consecutively on 1.5 and 3.0 Tesla systems (both Philips Intera). An axial half Fourier segmented turbo spin echo (HASTE) sequence and a coronal thick-slab 2D turbo-spin echo (TSE) sequence were compared on both systems. A reader measured the signal intensity (SI) ratios of common bile duct (CBD): liver, and CBD: fat on HASTE images and CBD: liver on the TSE images. A second reader performed a qualitative analysis of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic biliary anatomy. Quantitative data was compared using the paired t-test and qualitative data with the paired Wilcoxon signed rank test with p < 0.05. The quantitative analysis of the HASTE sequences showed a slightly higher signal intensity ratio (CBD:liver) at 3.0 Tesla compared with 1.5 Tesla (8.1 vs 5.6, p = 0.002). No significant difference was found between the SI ratios of (CBD:fat) on HASTE images or (CBD:liver) on TSE images. The qualitative analysis showed superior image quality of 3.0 Tesla over 1.5 Tesla images on both HASTE (31 vs 25, p = 0.032), and TSE sequences (34 vs 28, p = 0.043). This pilot study shows that MRCP is feasible at 3.0 Tesla with some improvement in image quality and signal characteristics. Further development may be achieved with sequence optimization and improved coil design.     

Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) Imaging of the Normal Brain: Comparisons between Under the Conditions of 3.0 Tesla and 1.5 Tesla

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in normal brain MRI findings between under 3.0 Tesla (T) and 1.5T MRI conditions with the use of the fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences.

Materials and Methods

Eleven normal adults underwent imaging with the use of the FLAIR sequences on both 1.5T and 3.0T scanners. Two neuroradiologists compared the signal intensity (SI) of the centrum semiovale (CS), pulvinar thalami (PT) and normal iron deposit structures (IDSs) on the 3.0T and 1.5T FLAIR images, and they evaluated three MRI findings qualitatively: high SI of CS; low SI of PT; low SI of IDS. We also evaluated signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) for the CS, PT, red nucleus and cerebellar dentate nucleus on the FLAIR images.

Results

Based on qualitative analyses, the 3.0T FLAIR images showed all three MRI findings for all cases. Low SI for the PT in seven cases (64%), high SI of the CS in one case (9%) and low SI of the cerebellar dentate nucleus in one case (9%) were visualized only on 3.0T FLAIR images. The mean SNRs of the PT, red nucleus and dentate nucleus in patients where 3.0T FLAIR imaging was performed were significantly lower as compared with the SNRs on 1.5T FLAIR images. The SNR of the CS was not significantly different between under the two magnetic field strengths (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

We have demonstrated that normal, high and low SIs of the CS, PT and IDS on 3.0T FLAIR images were depicted more frequently and more prominently as compared with those on 1.5T FLAIR images in normal adult brains.     

Characterization of adrenal lesions using chemical shift MRI: comparison between 1.5 Tesla and two echo time pair selection at 3.0 Tesla MRI

Purpose:

To compare chemical shift MRI obtained at 1.5 Tesla (T) and two pairs of echo time (TE) in‐phase and opposed‐phase 3.0T MRI to assess their usefulness for the differentiation between adrenal adenomas and non‐adenomas.

Materials and Methods:

We evaluated 91 adrenal masses (75 adenomas, 16 non‐adenomas) in 85 patients. The MR imaging parameters were: T1‐dual‐gradient‐echo(GRE) [echo times (TEs) = 1.1/2.3 ms (first‐echo‐pair) or 3.5/4.6 ms (second‐echo‐pair)] at 3.0T, and T1‐dual‐GRE (TEs = 2.4/4.8 ms) at 1.5T. Scans were quantitatively assessed for the signal intensity (SI) index, calculated as [(SIin‐phase‐SIopposed‐phase)/(SIin‐phase)] × 100(%). To test for differences between adenomas and non‐adenomas, we performed quantitative analysis and analysis of variance.

Results:

For all images, the SI index differed significantly between adenomas and non‐adenomas. The sensitivity /specificity of SI index at the first‐echo‐pair of 3.0T was 100%/ 100%, that of 95.6%/ 100% at the second‐echo‐pair of 3.0T, and 91.7%/ 88.9% at 1.5T, respectively. At intra‐individual comparisons, the SI indices obtained with the second‐echo‐pair at 3.0T were significantly lower than on the first‐echo‐pair at 3.0T and 1.5T.

Conclusion:

Chemical shift MRI at 3.0T provides more accurate differentiation between adenomas and non‐adenomas than at 1.5T. The SI index of the first‐echo‐pair at 3.0T is the most reliable evaluation method for differentiating adrenal adenomas from non‐adenomas. J. Magn. Reson.
