磁化准备真稳态进动快速成像序列在颅脑肿瘤增强中的应用

Application of Magnetization-prepared True Fast Imaging with Steady-state Precession Sequence in Brain Tumor Enhancement

目的评估二维磁化准备真稳态进动快速成像(2D-MP-TrueFISP)序列在颅脑肿瘤增强中的应用价值。方法以60例行头部增强磁共振检查的颅脑患者为研究对象,在增强前后行2D-MP-TrueFISP/2D-SPGR扫描,比较病灶在2D-MP-TrueFISP和2D-SPGR增强后的评分,在2D-SPGR与2D-MP-TrueFISP同一层面分别测量病灶、白质、脑脊液增强前后的信号强度(SI),计算病灶的对比率(CR),比较病灶分别在2D-SPGR与2D-MP-TrueFISP增强前后的CR及在2D-SPGR与2D-MP-TrueFISP增强后的CR差异。结果病灶在2D-MP-TrueFISP增强后的累积评分为9.0(9.0,9.0)分,明显高于2D-SPGR的7.0(6.0,7.0)分(Z=-6.86,P=0.00)。病灶在2D-SPGR和2D-MP-TrueFISP增强前后的CR差异均有统计学意义(P均<0.01)。病灶在2D-MP-TrueFISP序列增强后的CR值,与白质比较和与脑脊液比较分别为1.58±0.46和8.50±2.47,均明显高于2D-SPGR的0.57±0.29(t=-17.38,P=0.00)和2.64±0.85(t=-19.71,P=0.00)。结论相较于2D-SPGR,2D-MP-TrueFISP的增强程度及均匀性更好,轮廓更加清晰,且对病灶周围的水肿显示得更好。

Objective To evaluate the application of two-dimensional magnetization-prepared true fast imaging with steady-state precession(2D-MP-TrueFISP)sequence in brain tumor enhancement.Methods In this study,60 cases of brain tumor patients who underwent enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of brain were scanned with 2D-MP-TrueFISP/two-dimensional spoiled gradient-recalled echo(2D-SPGR)before and after enhancement.The scores of lesions on the images of 2D-MP-TrueFISP/2D-SPGR were compared.At the same level of 2D-SPGE and 2D-MP-TrueFISP,the signal intensities(SIs)of lesions,white matter,and cerebrospinal fluid were measured before and after enhancement,and the contrast ratios(CRs)of lesions were calculated.The CRs before and after 2D-SPGR/2D-MP-TrueFISP enhancement and those between 2D-SPGR and 2D-MP-TrueFISP after enhancement were compared.Results The scores of lesions after 2D-MP-TrueFISP/2D-SPGR T1WI enhancement were 9.0(9.0,9.0)and 7.0(6.0,7.0),respectively,with significant difference(Z=-6.86,P=0.00).CRs showed significant difference before and after enhancement with 2D-SPGR and 2D-MP-TrueFISP(all P<0.01).The CRs of lesion compared with white matter and cerebrospinal fluid(1.58±0.46 and 8.50±2.47,respectively)after 2D-MP-TrueFISP enhancement were significantly higher than those[0.57±0.29(t=-17.38,P=0.00)and 2.64±0.85(t=-19.71,P=0.00),respectively]after 2D-SPGR enhancement.Conclusion Compared with 2D-SPGR,2D-MP-TrueFISP demonstrated improved enhancement and uniformity as well as clear boundary and display of edema around the lesion.
