Abstract

This review is focused on the current status of quantitative MRI (qMRI) of skeletal muscle. The first section covers the techniques of qMRI in muscle with the focus on each quantitative parameter, the corresponding imaging sequence, discussion of the relation of the measured parameter to underlying physiology/pathophysiology, the image processing and analysis approaches, and studies on normal subjects. We cover the more established parametric mapping from T1-weighted imaging for morphometrics including image segmentation, proton density fat fraction, T2 mapping, and diffusion tensor imaging to emerging qMRI features such as magnetization transfer including ultralow TE imaging for macromolecular fraction, and strain mapping. The second section is a summary of current clinical applications of qMRI of muscle; the intent is to demonstrate the utility of qMRI in different disease states of the muscle rather than a complete comprehensive survey.

肌肉的磁共振成像生物标记。

本综述主要介绍骨骼肌定量 MRI（qMRI）的现状。第一部分涉及肌肉中的 qMRI 技术，重点是每个定量参数、相应的成像序列、讨论测量参数与潜在生理学/病理生理学的关系、图像处理和分析方法以及对正常人的研究。我们介绍了从用于形态计量学的 T1 加权成像（包括图像分割、质子密度脂肪分数、T2 映射和弥散张量成像）到磁化传递（包括用于大分子分数的超低 TE 成像）和应变映射等新兴 qMRI 特征的较为成熟的参数映射。第二部分是目前肌肉 qMRI 临床应用的总结；目的是展示 qMRI 在肌肉不同疾病状态下的实用性，而不是完整的全面调查。

期刊介绍： TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine. Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians. Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
