摘要

目的:比较黄金角径向星堆动态三维自由呼吸T1w涡轮场回波采集(4D FreeBreathing)与常规动态笛卡儿屏气T1w序列在幼儿腹部磁共振成像(MRI)中的可行性和成像质量。材料与方法:连续50例儿科患者(女性34例;3.4±2.0年)行腹部MRI: 25例采用4D FreeBreathing检查,25例采用常规动态T1w序列检查。图像质量由两名放射科医生以5分制主观评估。分别评估观察者间的一致性以及动脉期(SNRart)和门静脉期(SNRpv)的信噪比。此外,将4D自由呼吸序列的图像质量与非动态后对比恒星自由呼吸T1w快速场回波采集(3D T1w Vane mDixon)进行了比较。采用二次加权Cohen’s kappa检验(通知)计算两组评估者的观察者间一致性,采用独立样本Student’st检验比较两组间信噪比均值。结果:使用4D FreeBreathing, SNRart和SNRpv从500±170和550±160显著提高到900±210和820±260 (p)结论:与传统的动态检查相比,4D FreeBreathing儿童腹部MRI提高了可行性和图像质量,同时显示的图像质量相当于对比后的3D T1w Vane mDixon。在对幼儿进行动态腹部MRI检查时,重要的是要进行简短而有力的检查,不要出现呼吸伪影。结果:与需要屏气的常规动态扫描相比,4D自由呼吸MRI技术用于儿童腹部成像提高了图像质量和可行性。使用4D自由呼吸序列的动态腹部MRI为儿科患者提供了显着的益处。不需要屏气可以提高患者的配合度,减少对全身麻醉的需要,并产生更高质量的诊断图像。

Innovative 4D FreeBreathing technique in pediatric abdominal MRI improves feasibility and image quality.

Objectives: To compare the feasibility and imaging quality of a golden angle radial stack-of-stars dynamic three-dimensional free-breathing T1w turbo field echo acquisition (4D FreeBreathing) with a conventional dynamic cartesian breath-hold T1w sequence in young children undergoing abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials and methods: Fifty consecutive pediatric patients (34 females; 3.4 ± 2.0 years) underwent abdominal MRI: 25 were examined with 4D FreeBreathing and 25 with conventional dynamic T1w sequence. The image quality was evaluated subjectively on a 5-point scale by two radiologists. Interobserver agreement, as well as signal-to-noise ratio for arterial (SNRart) and portal venous (SNRpv) phases, were evaluated separately. Additionally, the image quality of 4D FreeBreathing sequence was compared to a non-dynamic post-contrast radial stack-of-stars free-breathing T1w fast field echo acquisition (3D T1w Vane mDixon). Interobserver agreement of both assessors was calculated using quadratic weighted Cohen's kappa test (ϰ), while independent samples Student's t-test was employed to compare mean SNR values among the two groups.

Results: Using 4D FreeBreathing, SNRart and SNRpv were significantly higher from 500 ± 170 and 550 ± 160 to 900 ± 210 and 820 ± 260 (p < 0.001); the diagnostic image quality increased from 77.6 to 89.6%; respiratory artifacts decreased from 22.4 to 10.4%, with an almost perfect interobserver agreement. Compared to 3D T1w Vane mDixon sequence, SNR and image quality were equal.

Conclusion: 4D FreeBreathing pediatric abdominal MRI improves the feasibility and image quality compared to conventional dynamic exams while showing an image quality equivalent to post-contrast 3D T1w Vane mDixon.

Key points: Question During dynamic abdominal MRI in young children, it is important to conduct a brief yet robust examination without respiratory artifacts. Findings 4D FreeBreathing MRI technique for pediatric abdominal imaging enhances both image quality and feasibility when compared to conventional dynamic scans that require breath-holding. Clinical relevance Dynamic abdominal MRI using the 4D FreeBreathing sequence provides significant benefits for pediatric patients. The absence of breath-holding requirements improves patient cooperation, reduces the need for general anesthesia, and results in higher-quality diagnostic images.

期刊介绍: European Radiology (ER) continuously updates scientific knowledge in radiology by publication of strong original articles and state-of-the-art reviews written by leading radiologists. A well balanced combination of review articles, original papers, short communications from European radiological congresses and information on society matters makes ER an indispensable source for current information in this field. This is the Journal of the European Society of Radiology, and the official journal of a number of societies. From 2004-2008 supplements to European Radiology were published under its companion, European Radiology Supplements, ISSN 1613-3749.
