Abstract

:Background Signal contamination from long T2 water is a major challenge in direct imaging of myelin with MRI. Nulling of the unwanted long T2 signals can be achieved with an inversion recovery (IR) preparation pulse to null long T2 white matter within the brain. The remaining ultrashort T2 signal from myelin can be detected with an ultrashort echo time (UTE) sequence. Purpose To develop patient-specific whole-brain myelin imaging with a three-dimensional double-echo sliding inversion recovery (DESIRE) UTE sequence. Materials and Methods The DESIRE UTE sequence generates a series of IR images with different inversion times during a single scan. The optimal inversion time for nulling long T2 signal is determined by finding minimal signal on the second echo. Myelin images are generated by subtracting the second echo image from the first UTE image. To validate this method, a prospective study was performed in phantoms, cadaveric brain specimens, healthy volunteers, and patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A total of 20 healthy volunteers (mean age, 40 years ± 13 [standard deviation], 10 women) and 20 patients with MS (mean age, 58 years ± 8; 15 women) who underwent MRI between November 2017 and February 2019 were prospectively included. Analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the signal difference between MS lesions and normal-appearing white matter in patients with MS. Results High signal intensity and corresponding T2* and T1 of the extracted myelin vesicles provided evidence for direct imaging of ultrashort-T2 myelin protons using the UTE sequence. Gadobenate dimeglumine phantoms with a wide range of T1 values were selectively suppressed with DESIRE UTE. In the ex vivo brain study of MS lesions, signal loss was observed in MS lesions and was conformed with histologic analysis. In the human study, there was a significant reduction in normalized signal intensity in MS lesions compared with that in normal-appearing white matter (0.19 ± 0.10 vs 0.76 ± 0.11, respectively; P < .001). Conclusion The double-echo sliding inversion recovery ultrashort echo time sequence can generate whole-brain myelin images specifically with a clinical 3-T scanner. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

摘要

背景: 来自长T2水的信号污染是MRI直接成像髓鞘的主要挑战。不需要的长T2信号的无效可以通过反转恢复 (IR) 准备脉冲来实现,以使大脑内的长T2白质无效。来自髓磷脂的剩余超短T2信号可以用超短回波时间 (UTE) 序列检测。目的开发具有三维双回波滑动反转恢复 (DESIRE) UTE序列的患者特异性全脑髓鞘成像。材料和方法期望的UTE序列在单次扫描期间产生具有不同反转时间的一系列IR图像。通过在第二回波上找到最小信号来确定调零长T2信号的最佳反转时间。通过从第一UTE图像中减去第二回波图像来生成髓鞘图像。为了验证该方法,在幻影、尸体脑样本、健康志愿者和多发性硬化症 (MS) 患者中进行了前瞻性研究。前瞻性纳入20名健康志愿者 (平均年龄,40岁 ± 13 [标准差],10名女性) 和20名在2017年11月至2019年2月期间接受MRI检查的MS患者 (平均年龄,58岁 ± 8; 15名女性)。进行方差分析以评估MS患者的MS病变与正常白质之间的信号差异。结果高信号强度和提取的髓鞘囊泡的相应T2 * 和T1为使用UTE序列对ultrashort-T2个髓鞘质子进行直接成像提供了证据。具有宽范围T1值的加多本酸二葡甲胺体模被选择性地抑制,并具有期望UTE。在MS病变的离体脑研究中,在MS病变中观察到信号损失,并符合组织学分析。在人类研究中,与出现正常的白质相比,MS损伤中的归一化信号强度显著降低 (分别为0.19 ± 0.10 vs 0.76 ± 0.11; P <.001)。结论双回波滑动反转恢复超短回波时间序列可以用临床3-T扫描仪特异性地生成全脑髓鞘图像。©RSNA,2019在线补充材料可用于本文。另见本期按港口分列的社论。

METHODS:OBJECTIVES:The aim was to evaluate the image quality and sensitivity to artifacts of compressed sensing (CS) acceleration technique, applied to 3D or breath-hold sequences in different clinical applications from brain to knee. METHODS:CS with an acceleration from 30 to 60% and conventional MRI sequences were performed in 10 different applications in 107 patients, leading to 120 comparisons. Readers were blinded to the technique for quantitative (contrast-to-noise ratio or functional measurements for cardiac cine) and qualitative (image quality, artifacts, diagnostic findings, and preference) image analyses. RESULTS:No statistically significant difference in image quality or artifacts was found for each sequence except for the cardiac cine CS for one of both readers and for the wrist 3D proton density (PD)-weighted CS sequence which showed less motion artifacts due to the reduced acquisition time. The contrast-to-noise ratio was lower for the elbow CS sequence but not statistically different in all other applications. Diagnostic findings were similar between conventional and CS sequence for all the comparisons except for four cases where motion artifacts corrupted either the conventional or the CS sequence. CONCLUSIONS:The evaluated CS sequences are ready to be used in clinical daily practice except for the elbow application which requires a lower acceleration. The CS factor should be tuned for each organ and sequence to obtain good image quality. It leads to 30% to 60% acceleration in the applications evaluated in this study which has a significant impact on clinical workflow. KEY POINTS:• Clinical implementation of compressed sensing (CS) reduced scan times of at least 30% with only minor penalty in image quality and no change in diagnostic findings. • The CS acceleration factor has to be tuned separately for each organ and sequence to guarantee similar image quality than conventional acquisition. • At least 30% and up to 60% acceleration is feasible in specific sequences in clinical routine.

METHODS:BACKGROUND:The main surgical techniques for spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage include stereotactic aspiration, endoscopic aspiration, and craniotomy. However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effect of these techniques. OBJECTIVE:To explore the long-term outcomes of the three surgical techniques in the treatment of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage. METHODS:Five hundred and sixteen patients with spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage who received stereotactic aspiration, endoscopic aspiration, or craniotomy were reviewed retrospectively. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. RESULTS:For the entire cohort, the 6-month mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was significantly lower than that in the stereotactic aspiration group (odds ratio (OR) 4.280, 95% CI 2.186 to 8.380); the 6-month mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was lower than that in the craniotomy group, but the difference was not significant (OR=1.930, 95% CI 0.835 to 4.465). A further subgroup analysis was stratified by hematoma volume. The mortality in the endoscopic aspiration group was significantly lower than in the stereotactic aspiration group in the medium (≥40-<80 mL) (OR=2.438, 95% CI 1.101 to 5.402) and large hematoma subgroup (≥80 mL) (OR=66.532, 95% CI 6.345 to 697.675). Compared with the endoscopic aspiration group, a trend towards increased mortality was observed in the large hematoma subgroup of the craniotomy group (OR=8.721, 95% CI 0.933 to 81.551). CONCLUSION:Endoscopic aspiration can decrease the 6-month mortality of spontaneous basal ganglia hemorrhage, especially in patients with a hematoma volume ≥40 mL.

METHODS:OBJECTIVE:The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a three-dimensional (3D) software tool (smart planes) for displaying fetal brain planes, and the secondary purpose was to evaluate its accuracy in performing automatic measurements. MATERIAL AND METHODS:This prospective study included singleton fetuses with a gestational age (GA) greater than 18 weeks. Transabdominal two-dimensional ultrasound (2DUS) and 3D smart planes images were respectively used to obtain the basic planes of the fetal brain, with five parameters measured. The images, by either two-dimensional (2D) manual or 3D automatic operation, were reviewed by two experienced sonographers. The agreements between two measurements were analyzed. RESULTS:A total of 226 cases were included. The rates of successful detection by automatic display were as high as 80%. There was substantial agreement between the measurements of the biparietal diameter, head circumference and transcerebellar diameter, but poor agreement between the measurements of cisterna magna and lateral ventricle width. CONCLUSIONS:Smart Planes might be valuable for the rapid evaluation of fetal brain, because it simplifies the evaluation process. However, the technology requires improvement. In addition, this technology cannot replace the conventional manual US scans; it can only be used as an additional approach.
