在体肝脏3.0T1H-MR波谱匀场及抑水影响因素探讨

Objective To characterize the clinical factors which influence water suppression and auto-shimming line width for liver 3.0 T 1H-MRS.Methods Fifty-seven cases with liver 1H-MR spectroscopy(1H-MRS) were retrospectively studied, including chronic type B hepatitis (n=5), fatty liver (n=14), chronic type B hepatitis combining fatty liver (n=3) and normal situation (n=35).Independent t test was used to characterize the difference of general condition (height, weight, body mass index etc.) between different water suppression effect groups and between different shimming effect groups.Using Chi-square test to analyze whether water suppression rate and auto-shimming line width between fatty liver groups and non-fatty liver exist significance difference .Results By comparing WS ≥90% (n=47)group with WS < 90% (n=10) group, the former showed smaller average height[(164.7±8.0) and (170.5±3.7) cm respectively], weight[(61.8±10.4) and (73.4±5.4) kg respectively], BMI [(22.7±3.2) and (25.2±1.3)kg/m2 respectively]and LW[(17.7±3.7)and(24.6±6.3) Hz respectively]than the latter (t=-3.488,-3.415,-4.002 and-3.327, P < 0.05).By comparing LW 20 Hz (n=41) group with LW 20 Hz (n=16) group, the former showed better water suppression rate [(93.0±2.7)% and (86.1±8.5)% respectively]than the latter(t=3.213,P <0.05), whereas larger weight[(62.2±11.6) and (68.1±6.1)kg respectively]and BMI[(22.8±3.4) and (24.2±1.9)kg/m2 respectively](t=-2.516,-2.024,P <0.05).LW≤20 Hz in the fatty liver and non-fatty liver group was 7/17 and 34/40, respectively (X2=11.347, P < 0.05).WS < 90% in the fatty liver and non-fatty liver group was 10/17 and 0/44, respectively (X2=28.536, P < 0.05) .Conclusion Hepatic steatosis exerts an adverse effect in water suppression and shimming.
