摘要
目的:利用压缩感知(CS)和并行成像(PI)技术,在1.5 T MR系统中优化单次屏气下肝脏高时间分辨率磁共振(MR)成像的扫描方案。方法:纳入31名健康志愿者,使用1.5 T MR系统进行脂肪抑制梯度回声t1加权成像。通过改变CS和PI中的各种成像参数来评估图像质量,以便在单次屏气内将扫描时间调整为10秒和6秒。测量肝脏信号强度的归一化标准差(nSD = SD/均值)和信噪比(SNR =均值/SD)。采用4分制评估肝脏轮廓和右肝下静脉(IRHV)的视觉评分,并与参考标准(无CS的20秒扫描)进行比较。结果:CS因子2.0的10 s扫描和CS因子2.0、2.5的6 s扫描与20 s扫描比较,nSD和信噪比无显著差异。CS因子2.0的10 s扫描总体视觉评分(肝脏轮廓和IRHV平均评分)明显优于其他扫描方案(p < 0.05)。结论:在1.5 T MR系统中使用CS和PI对肝脏进行高时间分辨率磁共振成像时,推荐CS因子2.0的10s扫描。知识进展:本研究在1.5 T MR系统中使用CS和PI进行了一种新的肝脏MR成像。
Optimization of scan protocol for high temporal resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the liver under single breath-holding using compressed sensing and parallel imaging techniques in a 1.5-T magnetic resonance system.
Objective: To optimize the scan protocol for high temporal resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the liver under single breath-holding, using compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging (PI) techniques in a 1.5 T MR system.
Methods: 31 healthy volunteers who underwent fat-suppressed gradient-echo T1 weighted imaging using a 1.5 T MR system were included. Image quality was evaluated on altering various imaging parameters in CS and PI so that the scan time was adjusted to 10 and 6 s within a single breath-holding. Normalized standard deviation (nSD = SD/mean value) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR = mean value/SD) of liver signal intensity were measured. Visual scores for the outline of the liver and inferior right hepatic vein (IRHV) were evaluated using a 4-point scale and compared with that of the reference standard (20 s scan without CS).
Results: The nSD and SNR were not significantly different when the 10 s scan with CS factor 2.0 and the 6 s scan with CS factor 2.0 and 2.5 were compared to the 20 s scan. Overall visual score (mean score of the outline of the liver and IRHV) was significantly better (p < 0.05) with the 10 s scan with CS factor 2.0 compared to the other scan protocols.
Conclusion: The 10 s scan with CS factor 2.0 should be recommended for high temporal resolution MR imaging of the liver using CS and PI in a 1.5 T MR system.
Advances in knowledge: This study conducts a novel MR imaging of the liver using CS and PI in a 1.5 T MR system.
