磁共振相位对比血管成像测量脑血流量的最佳速度编码

实验运用1.5-T磁共振的2D cine PC序列对10位健康志愿者C2水平感兴趣区血管进行速度编码为30~90cm/s，间隔10cm/s的7次同层扫描，探讨速度编码在磁共振相位对比血管成像中对测量脑血流量及入脑/出脑血流的影响。发现不同的速度编码对颈内动脉血流量、最大血流速度和平均血流速度影响较大，对椎动脉及颈内静脉影响不明显。当速度编码为60～80cm/s时，入脑血流量为(655±118)mL/min，出脑血流量(506±186)mL/min，入脑血流量/出脑血流量稳定在0.78～0.83，且所有血管中无混淆现象。提示在应用磁共振相位增强血管成像测量脑血流量时，应选择60～80cm/s的速度编码。

Optimal velocity encoding during measurement of cerebral blood flow volume using phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography

This study investigated the effect of velocity encoding on measurement of brain blood flow and blood volume of inflow and outflow using phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography. A single two-dimensional phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography slice was applied perpendicular to the internal carotid artery and the vertebral artery at C2 level. For each subject, the velocity encoding was set from 30 to 90 cm/s with an interval of 10 cm/s for a total of seven settings. Various velocity encodings greatly affected blood flow volume, maximal blood flow velocity and mean blood flow velocity in the internal carotid artery, but did not significantly affect vertebral arteries and jugular veins. When velocity encoding was 60-80 cm/s, the inflow blood volume was 655 ± 118 mL/min, and the outflow volume was 506 ± 186 mL/min. The ratio of outflow/inflow was steady at 0.78-0.83, and there was no aliasing in any of the images. These findings suggest that velocity encodings of 60-80 cm/s should be selected during measurement of cerebral blood flow volume using phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography.
