Abstract

Background: Metabolic diseases can negatively alter epicardial fat accumulation and composition, which can be probed using quantitative cardiac chemical shift encoded (CSE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) by mapping proton-density fat fraction (PDFF). To obtain motion-resolved high-resolution PDFF maps, we proposed a free-running cardiac CSE-CMR framework at 3T. To employ faster bipolar readout gradients, a correction for gradient imperfections was added using the gradient impulse response function (GIRF) and evaluated on intermediate images and PDFF quantification.

Methods: Ten minutes free-running cardiac 3D radial CSE-CMR acquisitions were compared in vitro and in vivo at 3T. Monopolar and bipolar readout gradient schemes provided 8 echoes (TE1/ΔTE = 1.16/1.96 ms) and 13 echoes (TE1/ΔTE = 1.12/1.07 ms), respectively. Bipolar-gradient free-running cardiac fat and water images and PDFF maps were reconstructed with or without GIRF correction. PDFF values were evaluated in silico, in vitro on a fat/water phantom, and in vivo in 10 healthy volunteers and 3 diabetic patients.

Results: In monopolar mode, fat-water swaps were demonstrated in silico and confirmed in vitro. Using bipolar readout gradients, PDFF quantification was reliable and accurate with GIRF correction with a mean bias of 0.03% in silico and 0.36% in vitro while it suffered from artifacts without correction, leading to a PDFF bias of 4.9% in vitro and swaps in vivo. Using bipolar readout gradients, in vivo PDFF of epicardial adipose tissue was significantly lower compared to subcutaneous fat (80.4 ± 7.1% vs 92.5 ± 4.3%, P < 0.0001).

Conclusions: Aiming for an accurate PDFF quantification, high-resolution free-running cardiac CSE-MRI imaging proved to benefit from bipolar echoes with k-space trajectory correction at 3T. This free-breathing acquisition framework enables to investigate epicardial adipose tissue PDFF in metabolic diseases.

轨迹校正可实现自由运行的化学位移编码成像,从而在 3T 下准确量化心脏质子密度脂肪分数。
背景:代谢性疾病会对心外膜脂肪堆积和组成产生负面影响,而定量心脏化学位移编码(CSE)磁共振成像可通过绘制质子密度脂肪分数(PDFF)图来探查这一点。为了获得运动分辨的高分辨率 PDFF 图,我们提出了在 3T 下自由运行的心脏 CSE-MRI 框架。为了采用更快的双极读出梯度,我们使用梯度脉冲响应函数(GIRF)对梯度缺陷进行了校正,并对中间图像和 PDFF 定量进行了评估:在体外和体内 3T 条件下,对十分钟自由运行的心脏三维径向 CSE-MRI 采集进行了比较。单极和双极读出梯度方案分别提供 8 个回波(TE1/ΔTE = 1.16/1.96ms)和 13 个回波(TE1/ΔTE = 1.12/1.07ms)。在进行或不进行 GIRF 校正的情况下,重建了双极梯度自由运行的心脏脂肪和水图像以及 PDFF 图。在 10 名健康志愿者和 3 名糖尿病患者体内,对脂肪/水模型、体外和体内的 PDFF 值进行了评估:结果:在单极模式下,脂肪与水的交换在硅学中得到了证实,在体外也得到了证实。使用双极读出梯度,经 GIRF 校正后,PDFF 定量可靠准确,硅学平均偏差为 0.03%,体外平均偏差为 0.36%,而不经校正则会出现伪影,导致体外 PDFF 偏差为 4.9%,体内则出现互换。使用双极读出梯度,体内心外膜脂肪组织的 PDFF 明显低于皮下脂肪(80.4±7.1% vs 92.5±4.3%,PC 结论:为了准确量化 PDFF,高分辨率自由运行心脏 CSE-MRI 成像被证明可受益于 3T 下 k 空间轨迹校正的双极回波。这种自由呼吸采集框架可用于研究代谢性疾病中心外膜脂肪组织的 PDFF。
