Abstract
Volumetric assessment based on structural MRI is increasingly recognized as an auxiliary tool to visual reading, also in examinations acquired in the clinical routine. However, MRI acquisition parameters can significantly influence these measures, which must be considered when interpreting the results on an individual patient level.
This Technical Note shall demonstrate the problem. Using data from a dedicated experiment, we show the influence of two crucial sequence parameters on the GM/WM contrast and their impact on the measured volumes. A simulated contrast derived from acquisition parameters TI/TR may serve as surrogate and is highly correlated (r=0.96) with the measured contrast.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Neuroradiology is a peer-reviewed journal, publishing worldwide clinical and basic research in the field of diagnostic and Interventional neuroradiology, translational and molecular neuroimaging, and artificial intelligence in neuroradiology.
The Journal of Neuroradiology considers for publication articles, reviews, technical notes and letters to the editors (correspondence section), provided that the methodology and scientific content are of high quality, and that the results will have substantial clinical impact and/or physiological importance.
