Optimal b value of diffusion-weighted imaging on a 3.0T magnetic resonance scanner in Crohn's disease

AIM:To determine the optimal b value of diffusionweighted imaging for detecting active inflammation in Crohn's disease.METHODS:Thirty-one patients clinically diagnosed with active Crohn’s disease were referred for magnetic resonance examination.All patients were scanned on a3.0T magnetic resonance scanner using the same protocol involving four different b values(800,1500,2000and 2500 s/mm2).The diagnostic effect of diffusionweighted imaging was evaluated and compared with endoscopic findings.The diffusion-weighted image quality of four b value groups was evaluated and apparent diffusion coefficient was measured for both nor-mal and inflammatory intestinal segments.RESULTS:The contrast-to-noise ratio and signal-tonoise ratio were not satisfied when b value 2000 or2500 s/mm2 was adopted(36.52±14.95 vs 34.78±24.83,P>0.05;53.58±23.45 vs 47.58±29.67,P>0.05).The qualitative image quality was not enough to meet diagnostic requirement.No matter which b value was chosen,the apparent diffusion coefficient of inflammatory intestinal segments was significantly lower than that of normal intestinal segments(1.38±0.28 vs 2.00±0.38,P<0.01;1.09±0.20 vs 1.50±0.28,P<0.01;0.95±0.19 vs 1.34±0.28,P<0.01;0.88±0.14 vs 1.20±0.21,P<0.01).The lesion detection rate(90.32%),diagnostic sensitivity(81.18%)and specificity(95.10%)would be appropriate when b value 1500 s/mm2 was adopted.CONCLUSION:High b value is suitable for intestinal DW examination on a high field MR scanner.

3.0 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging: A new standard in liver imaging?

An ever-increasing number of 3.0 Tesla(T) magnets are installed worldwide. Moving from the standard of 1.5 T to higher field strength implies a number of potential advantage and drawbacks, requiring careful optimization of imaging protocols or implementation of novel hardware components. Clinical practice and literature review suggest that state-of-the-art 3.0 T is equivalent to 1.5 T in the assessment of focal liver lesions and diffuse liver disease. Therefore, further technical improvements are needed in order to fully exploit the potential of higher field strength.

Patient’s Comfort and Technical Quality Exams at 1.5 and 3.0 T Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Increased interest of clinicians for using 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as imaging modality of choice for their patients, has been evident in the past few years. The aim of this study was to compare the technical quality of the obtained tomography using 3.0 T and 1.5 T MRI, and to compare the subjective feeling of discomfort of patients and subjective acoustic noise experience during imaging using MRI at 3.0 T and 1.5 T. Brain MRI (1.5 and 3.0 T) was performed in 58 patients, according to a standardized protocol. All studies have been randomly described by independent two radiologists. The reference standard for the existence of technical artifact is established on the basis of both radiologists’ consensus. We also compared the subjective feelings of the discomfort and acoustic noise during the both MRI (1.5 T and 3.0 T) exams. Artifacts were significantly more common during 3.0 T MRI in comparison with the 1.5 T MRI (χ2 = 5.286, P < 0.05), as well as in male patients (χ2 = 8.841, P < 0.05), and sub-jective assessments of discomfort and acoustic noise were higher in patients who underwent imaging using 3.0 T MRI, (χ2 = 125.959, df = 1, P < 0.001) and in females (χ2 = 195.449, df = 1, P < 0.001). Additional research is needed to prove that appropriate information for patients about the discomfort during 3.0 T MRI and their psychological preparation is very important element for optimal use of 3.0 T MRI in daily clinical practice.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Histopathological Analysis of Experimental Muscle Injuries in a Rabbit

Objective To investigate the correlation of magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） with histopathologica changes, and to evaluate T2 mapping in assessing muscle trauma in a rabbit model of muscle injury. Methods We divided 35 rabbits into seven groups that each represented a different time point after intramuscular hemorrhage and muscle injury. Hemorrhage was created by injecting autologous blood into the left legs, and muscle injury was created by scalpel incision of the biceps femoris of the right legs. At different time points, the rabbits underwent Tl-weighted imaging and T2-weighted imaging （TzWl and T2Wl） and T2 mapping. T2 relaxation times were measured, and the corresponding samples were evaluated for pathological changes. Results After 2 h, the intramuscular hemorrhage model demonstrated an increased signal intensity on both TlWl and T2Wl. Histological examination showed erythrocytes within the muscle bundle. On days 1 and 3, the MRI signals were decreased, and there were no significant changes after day 7. From 2 h to 3 days, the muscle-injury model showed a high signal on both TzWl and T2Wl. Corresponding pathological changes included rupture and edema of muscle fibers, and inflammation. The abnormal signals were reduced on day 7. After day 14, the T2Wl intensity remained high. TlWl showed no abnormal changes, but some models showed a high signal, representing fresh bleeding and fatty tissue. T2 relaxation times were significantly different between the central and marginal regions, and between the marginal and normal regions. Conclusion MRI clearly demonstrates intramuscular hemorrhage and muscle injury, which correlate well with histopathological changes. Tz mapping is useful in assessing the extent of injury.

A multiple-tissue-specific magnetic resonance imaging model for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease: a brain radiomics study

Brain radiomics can reflect the characteristics of brain pathophysiology.However,the value of T1-weighted images,quantitative susceptibility mapping,and R2*mapping in the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease(PD)was underestimated in previous studies.In this prospective study to establish a model for PD diagnosis based on brain imaging information,we collected high-resolution T1-weighted images,R2*mapping,and quantitative susceptibility imaging data from 171 patients with PD and 179 healthy controls recruited from August 2014 to August 2019.According to the inclusion time,123 PD patients and 121 healthy controls were assigned to train the diagnostic model,while the remaining 106 subjects were assigned to the external validation dataset.We extracted 1408 radiomics features,and then used data-driven feature selection to identify informative features that were significant for discriminating patients with PD from normal controls on the training dataset.The informative features so identified were then used to construct a diagnostic model for PD.The constructed model contained 36 informative radiomics features,mainly representing abnormal subcortical iron distribution(especially in the substantia nigra),structural disorganization(e.g.,in the inferior temporal,paracentral,precuneus,insula,and precentral gyri),and texture misalignment in the subcortical nuclei(e.g.,caudate,globus pallidus,and thalamus).The predictive accuracy of the established model was 81.1±8.0%in the training dataset.On the external validation dataset,the established model showed predictive accuracy of 78.5±2.1%.In the tests of identifying early and drug-naïve PD patients from healthy controls,the accuracies of the model constructed on the same 36 informative features were 80.3±7.1%and 79.1±6.5%,respectively,while the accuracies were 80.4±6.3%and 82.9±5.8%for diagnosing middle-to-late PD and those receiving drug management,respectively.The accuracies for predicting tremor-dominant and non-tremor-dominant PD were 79.8±6.9%and 79.1±6.5%,respectively.In conclusion,the multiple-tissue-specific brain radiomics model constructed from magnetic resonance imaging has the ability to discriminate PD and exhibits the advantages for improving PD diagnosis.

Quantitative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging can aid non-alcoholic steatohepatitis diagnosis in a Japanese cohort

BACKGROUND Non-invasive assessment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)is increasing in desirability due to the invasive nature and costs associated with the current form of assessment;liver biopsy.Quantitative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging(mpMRI)to measure liver fat(proton density fat fraction)and fibroinflammatory disease[iron-corrected T1(cT1)],as well as elastography techniques[vibration-controlled transient elastography(VCTE)liver stiffness measure],magnetic resonance elastography(MRE)and 2D Shear-Wave elastography(SWE)to measure stiffness and fat(controlled attenuated parameter,CAP)are emerging alternatives which could be utilised as safe surrogates to liver biopsy.AIM To evaluate the agreement of non-invasive imaging modalities with liver biopsy,and their subsequent diagnostic accuracy for identifying NASH patients.METHODS From January 2019 to February 2020,Japanese patients suspected of NASH were recruited onto a prospective,observational study and were screened using noninvasive imaging techniques;mpMRI with LiverMultiScan®,VCTE,MRE and 2DSWE.Patients were subsequently biopsied,and samples were scored by three independent pathologists.The diagnostic performances of the non-invasive imaging modalities were assessed using area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)with the median of the histology scores as the gold standard diagnoses.Concordance between all three independent pathologists was further explored using Krippendorff’s alpha(a)from weighted kappa statistics.RESULTS N=145 patients with mean age of 60(SD:13 years.),39%females,and 40%with body mass index≥30 kg/m2 were included in the analysis.For identifying patients with NASH,MR liver fat and cT1 were the strongest performing individual measures(AUC:0.80 and 0.75 respectively),and the mpMRI metrics combined(cT1 and MR liver fat)were the overall best non-invasive test(AUC:0.83).For identifying fibrosis≥1,MRE performed best(AUC:0.97),compared to VCTE-liver stiffness measure(AUC:0.94)and 2D-SWE(AUC:0.94).For assessment of steatosis≥1,MR liver fat was the best performing non-invasive test(AUC:0.92),compared to controlled attenuated parameter(AUC:0.75).Assessment of the agreement between pathologists showed that concordance was best for steatosis(a=0.58),moderate for ballooning(a=0.40)and fibrosis(a=0.40),and worst for lobular inflammation(a=0.11).CONCLUSION Quantitative mpMRI is an effective alternative to liver biopsy for diagnosing NASH and non-alcoholic fatty liver,and thus may offer clinical utility in patient management.

Three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography combined with high resolution T2-weighted imaging in preoperative evaluation of microvascular decompression

BACKGROUND Neurovascular compression(NVC) is the main cause of primary trigeminal neuralgia(TN) and hemifacial spasm(HFS). Microvascular decompression(MVD) is an effective surgical method for the treatment of TN and HFS caused by NVC. The judgement of NVC is a critical step in the preoperative evaluation of MVD, which is related to the effect of MVD treatment. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) technology has been used to detect NVC prior to MVD for several years. Among many MRI sequences, three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography(3D TOF MRA) is the most widely used. However, 3D TOF MRA has some shortcomings in detecting NVC. Therefore, 3D TOF MRA combined with high resolution T2-weighted imaging(HR T2WI) is considered to be a more effective method to detect NVC.AIM To determine the value of 3D TOF MRA combined with HR T2WI in the judgment of NVC, and thus to assess its value in the preoperative evaluation of MVD.METHODS Related studies published from inception to September 2022 based on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were retrieved. Studies that investigated 3D TOF MRA combined with HR T2WI to judge NVC in patients with TN or HFS were included according to the inclusion criteria. Studies without complete data or not relevant to the research topics were excluded. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies checklist was used to assess the quality of included studies. The publication bias of the included literature was examined by Deeks’ test. An exact binomial rendition of the bivariate mixed-effects regression model was used to synthesize data. Data analysis was performed using the MIDAS module of statistical software Stata 16.0. Two independent investigators extracted patient and study characteristics, and discrepancies were resolved by consensus. Individual and pooled sensitivities and specificities were calculated. The I_(2) statistic and Q test were used to test heterogeneity. The study was registered on the website of PROSERO(registration No. CRD42022357158).RESULTS Our search identified 595 articles, of which 12(including 855 patients) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Bivariate analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity and specificity of 3D TOF MRA combined with HR T2WI for detecting NVC were 0.96 [95% confidence interval(CI): 0.92-0.98] and 0.92(95%CI: 0.74-0.98), respectively. The pooled positive likelihood ratio was 12.4(95%CI: 3.2-47.8), pooled negative likelihood ratio was 0.04(95%CI: 0.02-0.09), and pooled diagnostic odds ratio was 283(95%CI: 50-1620). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.98(95%CI: 0.97-0.99). The studies showed no substantial heterogeneity(I2 = 0, Q = 0.001 P = 0.50).CONCLUSION Our results suggest that 3D TOF MRA combined with HR T2WI has excellent sensitivity and specificity for judging NVC in patients with TN or HFS. This method can be used as an effective tool for preoperative evaluation of MVD.

Linear-fitting-based similarity coefficient map for tissue dissimilarity analysis in T2^＊-w magnetic resonance imaging

Similarity coefficient mapping（SCM） aims to improve the morphological evaluation of T＊2weighted magnetic resonance imaging（T＊2-w MRI）. However, how to interpret the generated SCM map is still pending. Moreover, is it probable to extract tissue dissimilarity messages based on the theory behind SCM？ The primary purpose of this paper is to address these two questions. First, the theory of SCM was interpreted from the perspective of linear fitting. Then, a term was embedded for tissue dissimilarity information. Finally, our method was validated with sixteen human brain image series from multiecho T＊2-w MRI. Generated maps were investigated from signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） and perceived visual quality, and then interpreted from intra- and inter-tissue intensity. Experimental results show that both perceptibility of anatomical structures and tissue contrast are improved. More importantly, tissue similarity or dissimilarity can be quantified and cross-validated from pixel intensity analysis. This method benefits image enhancement, tissue classification, malformation detection and morphological evaluation.

The Diagnostic Value of Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Detecting CNS Diseases Among Advanced AIDS Patients

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of brain magnetic resonance imaging in detecting central nervous system diseases among AIDS patients of different levels of T cells. Methods Total of 164 AIDS patients who did not receive antiviral treatment were divided into 2 groups according to their baseline CD4+ T cell counts. Group A had CD4+ T cell below or equal to 50 cells/μl(n = 81) and group B had CD4+ T cells over 50 cells/μl(n = 83). All patients underwent brain MRI scan. Imaging analysis and the prevalence of the central nervous system disorders were compared between two groups. Results Among them 48 cases were found of abnormal brain MRI, group A was higher than group B(35.8% vs. 22.9%) although without statistical significance(P = 0.065). Altogether 48 cases were diagnosed as AIDS related central nervous system disorders based on clinical symptoms, signs and laboratory findings. The prevalence of CNS disorders was higher in group A than in group B(41.9% vs. 16.8%) with statistical significance(P < 0.01). Conclusions The patients with CD4+ T cell count less than or equal to 50 cells/μl had high prevalence of CNS diseases. Brain MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and differentiation of CNS diseases in advanced AIDS patients. This study suggests patients with low CD4+ T cell count(≤ 50/μl) should routinely undergo MRI examination.

目的评价3.0 T MRI检查在肝硬化再生性结节(RN)、异型增生性结节(DN)和小肝癌(SHCC)诊断和鉴别诊断中价值。方法回顾性分析经病理检查确诊的69例RN、DN及SHCC患者的3.0 T MRI平扫及容积采集技术(LAVA)三期动态增强扫描特点。结果 RN主要表现为T2WI低信号,动态增强方式呈"缓慢上升型";DN主要表现为T2WI高、低信号,信号较均匀结节的动态方式以"速升缓降型"为主,可有"结中结"(特征表现);SHCC主要表现为T1WI低信号、T2WI高信号,动态增强方式为"速升速降型"。结论肝硬化结节及小肝癌在3.0 T MRI上各有较为典型的表现,临床可据此进行诊断与鉴别诊断;对其他强化类型的肝脏病灶应结合肿瘤血管的扭曲增粗及包膜等表现排除SHCC。
