Presurgical evaluation with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can reduce postsurgical morbidity. Here, we discuss presurgical fMRI mapping at ultra-high magnetic fields (UHF), i.e., ≥ 7 T, in the light of the current growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and robot-assisted neurosurgery. The potential of submillimetre fMRI mapping can help better appreciate uncertainty on resection margins, though geometric distortions at UHF might lessen the accuracy of fMRI maps. A useful trade-off for UHF fMRI is to collect data with 1-mm isotropic resolution to ensure high sensitivity and subsequently a low risk of false negatives. Scanning at UHF might yield a revival interest in slow event-related fMRI, thereby offering a richer depiction of the dynamics of fMRI responses. The potential applications of AI concern denoising and artefact removal, generation of super-resolution fMRI maps, and accurate fusion or coregistration between anatomical and fMRI maps. The latter can benefit from the use of T1-weighted echo-planar imaging for better visualization of brain activations. Such AI-augmented fMRI maps would provide high-quality input data to robotic surgery systems, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of robot-assisted neurosurgery. Ultimately, the advancement in fMRI at UHF would promote clinically useful synergies between fMRI, AI, and robotic neurosurgery.Relevance statement This review highlights the potential synergies between fMRI at UHF, AI, and robotic neurosurgery in improving the accuracy and reliability of fMRI-based presurgical mapping.Key points• Presurgical fMRI mapping at UHF improves spatial resolution and sensitivity.• Slow event-related designs offer a richer depiction of fMRI responses dynamics.• AI can support denoising, artefact removal, and generation of super-resolution fMRI maps.• AI-augmented fMRI maps can provide high-quality input data to robotic surgery systems.

通过功能磁共振成像(fMRI)进行术前评估可降低术后发病率。鉴于目前人们对人工智能(AI)和机器人辅助神经外科手术的兴趣与日俱增,我们在此讨论超高磁场(UHF)(即≥ 7 T)下的术前 fMRI 映像。亚毫米级 fMRI 图谱的潜力有助于更好地了解切除边缘的不确定性,不过超高频的几何失真可能会降低 fMRI 图谱的准确性。超高频 fMRI 的一个有效权衡方法是收集 1 毫米各向同性分辨率的数据,以确保高灵敏度和较低的假阴性风险。超高频扫描可能会重新激发对慢速事件相关 fMRI 的兴趣,从而提供更丰富的 fMRI 反应动态描述。人工智能的潜在应用涉及去噪和去除伪影、生成超分辨率 fMRI 图谱以及解剖图和 fMRI 图之间的精确融合或核心配准。后者可受益于 T1 加权回声平面成像的使用,以更好地显示大脑激活。这种人工智能增强的 fMRI 地图将为机器人手术系统提供高质量的输入数据,从而提高机器人辅助神经外科手术的准确性和可靠性。最终,超高频 fMRI 的进步将促进 fMRI、人工智能和机器人神经外科之间产生临床有用的协同效应。 相关性声明 本综述强调了超高频 fMRI、人工智能和机器人神经外科之间在提高基于 fMRI 的术前映射的准确性和可靠性方面的潜在协同效应。人工智能可支持去噪、去除伪影和生成超分辨率的 fMRI 地图,人工智能增强的 fMRI 地图可为机器人手术系统提供高质量的输入数据。

Background: We compared magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) turbo spin-echo images reconstructed using a deep learning technique (TSE-DL) with standard turbo spin-echo (TSE-SD) images of the lumbar spine regarding image quality and detection performance of common degenerative pathologies.

Methods: This prospective, single-center study included 31 patients (15 males and 16 females; aged 51 ± 16 years (mean ± standard deviation)) who underwent lumbar spine exams with both TSE-SD and TSE-DL acquisitions for degenerative spine diseases. Images were analyzed by two radiologists and assessed for qualitative image quality using a 4-point Likert scale, quantitative signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of anatomic landmarks, and detection of common pathologies. Paired-sample t, Wilcoxon, and McNemar tests, unweighted/linearly weighted Cohen κ statistics, and intraclass correlation coefficients were used.

Results: Scan time for TSE-DL and TSE-SD protocols was 2:55 and 5:17 min:s, respectively. The overall image quality was either significantly higher for TSE-DL or not significantly different between TSE-SD and TSE-DL. TSE-DL demonstrated higher SNR and subject noise scores than TSE-SD. For pathology detection, the interreader agreement was substantial to almost perfect for TSE-DL, with κ values ranging from 0.61 to 1.00; the interprotocol agreement was almost perfect for both readers, with κ values ranging from 0.84 to 1.00. There was no significant difference in the diagnostic confidence or detection rate of common pathologies between the two sequences (p ≥ 0.081).

Conclusions: TSE-DL allowed for a 45% reduction in scan time over TSE-SD in lumbar spine MRI without compromising the overall image quality and showed comparable detection performance of common pathologies in the evaluation of degenerative lumbar spine changes.

Relevance statement: Deep learning-reconstructed lumbar spine MRI protocol enabled a 45% reduction in scan time compared with conventional reconstruction, with comparable image quality and detection performance of common degenerative pathologies.

Key points: • Lumbar spine MRI with deep learning reconstruction has broad application prospects. • Deep learning reconstruction of lumbar spine MRI saved 45% scan time without compromising overall image quality. • When compared with standard sequences, deep learning reconstruction showed similar detection performance of common degenerative lumbar spine pathologies.

背景:我们比较了使用深度学习技术重建的腰椎磁共振成像(MRI)涡轮自旋回波图像(TSE-DL)与标准涡轮自旋回波图像(TSE-SD)在图像质量和常见退行性病变检测性能方面的差异:这项前瞻性单中心研究共纳入了 31 名患者(男性 15 人,女性 16 人;年龄 51 ± 16 岁(平均 ± 标准差)),他们都接受了腰椎检查,并同时进行了 TSE-SD 和 TSE-DL 采集,以检测脊柱退行性疾病。图像由两名放射科医生进行分析,并使用 4 点李克特量表对图像质量、解剖标志物的定量信噪比 (SNR) 以及常见病变的检测进行评估。采用了配对样本 t 检验、Wilcoxon 检验和 McNemar 检验、非加权/线性加权 Cohen κ 统计法和类内相关系数:TSE-DL和TSE-SD方案的扫描时间分别为2:55分钟和5:17分钟。TSE-DL的整体图像质量明显更高,或者TSE-SD和TSE-DL之间没有明显差异。与 TSE-SD 相比,TSE-DL 的信噪比和主体噪声得分更高。在病理检测方面,TSE-DL 的读数间一致性很高,几乎达到完美,κ值在 0.61 到 1.00 之间;两个读数的协议间一致性几乎达到完美,κ值在 0.84 到 1.00 之间。两种序列的诊断可信度和常见病理的检出率没有明显差异(P≥0.081):TSE-DL使腰椎核磁共振成像的扫描时间比TSE-SD减少了45%,同时不影响整体图像质量,在评估腰椎退行性病变时对常见病变的检测性能相当:深度学习重建的腰椎核磁共振成像方案与传统重建相比,扫描时间缩短了45%,图像质量和常见退行性病变的检测性能相当:- 采用深度学习重建的腰椎磁共振成像具有广阔的应用前景。- 腰椎核磁共振成像的深度学习重建可节省45%的扫描时间,且不影响整体图像质量。- 与标准序列相比,深度学习重建对常见的腰椎退行性病变具有相似的检测性能。

Background: The potential role of cardiac computed tomography (CT) has increasingly been demonstrated for the assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis through the quantification of extracellular volume (ECV). Photon-counting detector (PCD)-CT technology may deliver more accurate ECV quantification compared to energy-integrating detector CT. We evaluated the impact of reconstruction settings on the accuracy of ECV quantification using PCD-CT, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based ECV as reference.

Methods: In this post hoc analysis, 27 patients (aged 53.1 ± 17.2 years (mean ± standard deviation); 14 women) underwent same-day cardiac PCD-CT and MRI. Late iodine CT scans were reconstructed with different quantum iterative reconstruction levels (QIR 1-4), slice thicknesses (0.4-8 mm), and virtual monoenergetic imaging levels (VMI, 40-90 keV); ECV was quantified for each reconstruction setting. Repeated measures ANOVA and t-test for pairwise comparisons, Bland-Altman plots, and Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) were used.

Results: ECV values did not differ significantly among QIR levels (p = 1.000). A significant difference was observed throughout different slice thicknesses, with 0.4 mm yielding the highest agreement with MRI-based ECV (CCC = 0.944); 45-keV VMI reconstructions showed the lowest mean bias (0.6, 95% confidence interval 0.1-1.4) compared to MRI. Using the most optimal reconstruction settings (QIR4. slice thickness 0.4 mm, VMI 45 keV), a 63% reduction in mean bias and a 6% increase in concordance with MRI-based ECV were achieved compared to standard settings (QIR3, slice thickness 1.5 mm; VMI 65 keV).

Conclusions: The selection of appropriate reconstruction parameters improved the agreement between PCD-CT and MRI-based ECV.

Relevance statement: Tailoring PCD-CT reconstruction parameters optimizes ECV quantification compared to MRI, potentially improving its clinical utility.

Key points: • CT is increasingly promising for myocardial tissue characterization, assessing focal and diffuse fibrosis via late iodine enhancement and ECV quantification, respectively. • PCD-CT offers superior performance over conventional CT, potentially improving ECV quantification and its agreement with MRI-based ECV. • Tailoring PCD-CT reconstruction parameters optimizes ECV quantification compared to MRI, potentially improving its clinical utility.

背景:心脏计算机断层扫描(CT)在通过量化细胞外容积(ECV)评估弥漫性心肌纤维化方面的潜在作用已日益得到证实。与能量积分探测器 CT 相比,光子计数探测器 (PCD) -CT 技术可提供更准确的 ECV 定量。我们以基于磁共振成像(MRI)的 ECV 为参照,评估了重建设置对 PCD-CT ECV 定量准确性的影响:在这项事后分析中,27 名患者(年龄为 53.1 ± 17.2 岁(平均 ± 标准差);14 名女性)在同一天接受了心脏 PCD-CT 和 MRI 检查。晚期碘 CT 扫描采用不同的量子迭代重建级别(QIR 1-4)、切片厚度(0.4-8 毫米)和虚拟单能成像级别(VMI,40-90 千伏)进行重建;对每种重建设置的 ECV 进行量化。采用重复测量方差分析和 t 检验进行配对比较、布兰-阿尔特曼图和林氏一致性相关系数(CCC):不同 QIR 水平的 ECV 值差异不大(p = 1.000)。不同切片厚度的 ECV 值差异明显,其中 0.4 mm 与 MRI ECV 值的一致性最高(CCC = 0.944);与 MRI 相比,45-keV VMI 重建的平均偏差最小(0.6,95% 置信区间 0.1-1.4)。与标准设置(QIR3,切片厚度 1.5 mm;VMI 65 keV)相比,使用最理想的重建设置(QIR4,切片厚度 0.4 mm;VMI 45 keV),平均偏差减少了 63%,与基于 MRI 的 ECV 的一致性提高了 6%:结论:选择适当的重建参数可提高 PCD-CT 和基于 MRI 的心血管动态图像之间的一致性:与磁共振成像相比,定制 PCD-CT 重建参数可优化 ECV 定量,从而提高其临床实用性:- CT在心肌组织特征描述方面的应用前景越来越广,可分别通过晚期碘增强和ECV量化评估局灶性和弥漫性纤维化。- PCD-CT 比传统 CT 性能更优越,有可能改善 ECV 定量及其与基于 MRI 的 ECV 的一致性。- 与磁共振成像相比,定制 PCD-CT 重建参数可优化 ECV 定量,从而提高其临床实用性。

Background: Radiomics is a quantitative approach that allows the extraction of mineable data from medical images. Despite the growing clinical interest, radiomics studies are affected by variability stemming from analysis choices. We aimed to investigate the agreement between two open-source radiomics software for both contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lung cancers and to preliminarily evaluate the existence of radiomic features stable for both techniques.

Methods: Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI images of 35 patients affected with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were manually segmented and preprocessed using three different methods. Sixty-six Image Biomarker Standardisation Initiative-compliant features common to the considered platforms, PyRadiomics and LIFEx, were extracted. The correlation among features with the same mathematical definition was analyzed by comparing PyRadiomics and LIFEx (at fixed imaging technique), and MRI with CT results (for the same software).

Results: When assessing the agreement between LIFEx and PyRadiomics across the considered resampling, the maximum statistically significant correlations were observed to be 94% for CT features and 95% for MRI ones. When examining the correlation between features extracted from contrast-enhanced CT and MRI using the same software, higher significant correspondences were identified in 11% of features for both software.

Conclusions: Considering NSCLC, (i) for both imaging techniques, LIFEx and PyRadiomics agreed on average for 90% of features, with MRI being more affected by resampling and (ii) CT and MRI contained mostly non-redundant information, but there are shape features and, more importantly, texture features that can be singled out by both techniques.

Relevance statement: Identifying and selecting features that are stable cross-modalities may be one of the strategies to pave the way for radiomics clinical translation.

Key points: • More than 90% of LIFEx and PyRadiomics features contain the same information. • Ten percent of features (shape, texture) are stable among contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. • Software compliance and cross-modalities stability features are impacted by the resampling method.

背景:放射组学是一种定量方法,可从医学影像中提取可挖掘的数据。尽管临床兴趣与日俱增,但放射组学研究却受到分析选择所产生的变异性的影响。我们旨在研究两种开源放射组学软件在对比增强计算机断层扫描(CT)和对比增强磁共振成像(MRI)肺癌方面的一致性,并初步评估两种技术是否存在稳定的放射组学特征:采用三种不同的方法对 35 名非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者的对比增强 CT 和 MRI 图像进行人工分割和预处理。提取了 66 个符合图像生物标记标准化倡议的特征,这些特征是 PyRadiomics 和 LIFEx 平台所共有的。通过比较 PyRadiomics 和 LIFEx(固定成像技术)以及 MRI 和 CT 结果(相同软件),分析了具有相同数学定义的特征之间的相关性:在评估LIFEx和PyRadiomics在所考虑的重采样中的一致性时,发现CT特征和MRI特征的最大统计显著相关性分别为94%和95%。在使用同一软件检查从对比增强 CT 和 MRI 提取的特征之间的相关性时,两个软件均在 11% 的特征中发现了较高的显著对应性:结论:对于 NSCLC,(i) LIFEx 和 PyRadiomics 这两种成像技术平均有 90% 的特征是一致的,而 MRI 受重采样的影响更大;(ii) CT 和 MRI 包含的信息大多是非冗余的,但有一些形状特征,更重要的是,有一些纹理特征是两种技术都能识别出来的:识别和选择跨模态的稳定特征可能是为放射组学临床转化铺平道路的策略之一:- 超过 90% 的 LIFEx 和 PyRadiomics 特征包含相同的信息。- 10%的特征(形状、纹理)在对比增强 CT 和 MRI 中是稳定的。- 软件合规性和跨模态稳定性特征受到重采样方法的影响。

Background: New immunotherapies activate tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the osteosarcoma microenvironment. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are phagocytosed by TAMs and, therefore, enable TAM detection on T2*- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance images. We assessed the repeatability and reproducibility of T2*- and T2-mapping of osteosarcomas in a mouse model.

Methods: Fifteen BALB/c mice bearing-murine osteosarcomas underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on 3-T and 7-T scanners before and after intravenous IONP infusion, using T2*-weighted multi-gradient-echo, T2-weighted fast spin-echo, and T2-weighted multi-echo sequences. Each sequence was repeated twice. Tumor T2 and T2* relaxation times were measured twice by two independent investigators. Repeatability and reproducibility of measurements were assessed.

Results: We found excellent agreement between duplicate acquisitions for both T2* and T2 measurements at either magnetic field strength, by the same individual (repeatability), and between individuals (reproducibility). The repeatability concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) for T2* values were 0.99 (coefficients of variation (CoV) 4.43%) for reader 1 and 0.98 (CoV 5.82%) for reader 2. The reproducibility of T2* values between the two readers was 0.99 (CoV 3.32%) for the first acquisitions and 0.99 (CoV 6.30%) for the second acquisitions. Regarding T2 values, the repeatability of CCC was similar for both readers, 0.98 (CoV 3.64% for reader 1 and 4.45% for reader 2). The CCC of the reproducibility of T2 was 0.99 (CoV 3.1%) for the first acquisition and 0.98 (CoV 4.38%) for the second acquisition.

Conclusions: Our results demonstrated high repeatability and reproducibility of quantitative T2* and T2 mapping for monitoring the presence of TAMs in osteosarcomas.

Relevance statement: T2* and T2 measurements of osteosarcomas on IONP-enhanced MRI could allow identifying patients who may benefit from TAM-modulating immunotherapies and for monitoring treatment response. The technique described here could be also applied across a wide range of other solid tumors.

Key points: • Optimal integration of TAM-modulating immunotherapies with conventional chemotherapy remains poorly elucidated. • We found high repeatability of T2* and T2 measurements of osteosarcomas in a mouse model, both with and without IONPs contrast, at 3-T and 7-T MRI field strengths. • T2 and T2* mapping may be used to determine response to macrophage-modulating cancer immunotherapies.

背景:新的免疫疗法可激活骨肉瘤微环境中的肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAMs)。氧化铁纳米颗粒(IONPs)会被TAMs吞噬,因此能在T2*和T2加权磁共振图像上检测到TAM。我们在小鼠模型中评估了骨肉瘤 T2* 和 T2 映射的可重复性和再现性:在静脉注射 IONP 之前和之后,15 只患有鼠骨肉瘤的 BALB/c 小鼠在 3-T 和 7-T 扫描仪上接受了磁共振成像 (MRI),使用的是 T2* 加权多梯度回波、T2 加权快速自旋回波和 T2 加权多回波序列。每个序列重复两次。肿瘤 T2 和 T2* 驰豫时间由两名独立研究人员测量两次。对测量的重复性和再现性进行了评估:我们发现,在任何一种磁场强度下,同一人(重复性)和不同人(再现性)重复采集的 T2* 和 T2 测量结果都非常一致。阅读器 1 的 T2* 值重复性一致性相关系数 (CCC) 为 0.99(变异系数 (CoV) 为 4.43%),阅读器 2 的重复性一致性相关系数 (CCC) 为 0.98(变异系数 (CoV) 为 5.82%)。两个阅读器之间 T2* 值的可重复性为:第一次采集为 0.99(变异系数为 3.32%),第二次采集为 0.99(变异系数为 6.30%)。在 T2 值方面,两个读数器的 CCC 重复性相似,均为 0.98(读数器 1 的 CoV 为 3.64%,读数器 2 为 4.45%)。第一次采集的 T2 可重复性 CCC 为 0.99(CoV 为 3.1%),第二次采集为 0.98(CoV 为 4.38%):我们的结果表明,定量 T2* 和 T2 图谱在监测骨肉瘤中 TAM 的存在方面具有很高的重复性和再现性:IONP增强磁共振成像对骨肉瘤的T2*和T2测量可用于识别可能从TAM调节免疫疗法中获益的患者并监测治疗反应。本文所述技术还可广泛应用于其他实体瘤:- 要点:TAM调节免疫疗法与传统化疗的最佳结合仍未得到充分阐明。- 我们发现,在3T和7T磁共振成像场强下,对小鼠模型中的骨肉瘤进行T2*和T2测量时,无论是否使用IONPs对比剂,重复性都很高。- T2和T2*图谱可用于确定对巨噬细胞调节癌症免疫疗法的反应。

Background: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is useful for detecting gouty tophi. While iodinated contrast media (ICM) might enhance the detection of monosodium urate crystals (MSU), higher iodine concentrations hamper their detection. Calculating virtual noncontrast (VNC) images might improve the detection of enhancing tophi. The aim of this study was to evaluate MSU detection with VNC images from DECT acquisitions in phantoms, compared against the results with standard DECT reconstructions.

Methods: A grid-like and a biophantom with 25 suspensions containing different concentrations of ICM (0 to 2%) and MSU (0 to 50%) were scanned with sequential single-source DECT using an ascending order of tube current time product at 80 kVp (16.5-220 mAs) and 135 kVp (2.75-19.25 mAs). VNC images were equivalently reconstructed at 80 and 135 kVp. Two-material decomposition analysis for MSU detection was applied for the VNC and conventional CT images. MSU detection and attenuation values were compared in both modalities.

Results: For 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 2% ICM, the average detection indices (DIs) for all MSU concentrations (35-50%) with VNC postprocessing were respectively 25.2, 36.6, 30.9, 38.9, and 45.8% for the grid phantom scans and 11.7, 9.4, 5.5, 24.0, and 25.0% for the porcine phantom scans. In the conventional CT image group, the average DIs were respectively 35.4, 54.3, 45.4, 1.0, and 0.0% for the grid phantom and 19.4, 17.9, 3.0, 0.0, and 0.0% for the porcine phantom scans.

Conclusions: VNC effectively reduces the suppression of information caused by high concentrations of ICM, thereby improving the detection of MSU.

Relevance statement: Contrast-enhanced DECT alone may suffice for diagnosing gout without a native acquisition.

Key points: • Highly concentrated contrast media hinders monosodium urate crystal detection in CT imaging • Virtual noncontrast imaging redetects monosodium urate crystals in high-iodinated contrast media concentrations. • Contrast-enhanced DECT alone may suffice for diagnosing gout without a native acquisition.

背景:双能计算机断层扫描(DECT)有助于检测痛风性结石。虽然碘化造影剂(ICM)可增强对单钠尿酸盐结晶(MSU)的检测,但较高的碘浓度会妨碍对其检测。计算虚拟非对比度(VNC)图像可提高对增强型鹅口疮的检测。本研究的目的是评估利用模型中 DECT 采集的 VNC 图像检测 MSU 的效果,并与标准 DECT 重建的结果进行比较:方法:在 80 kVp(16.5-220 mAs)和 135 kVp(2.75-19.25 mAs)电压下,使用升序管电流时间积对一个网格状和一个含有 25 个不同浓度 ICM(0-2%)和 MSU(0-50%)悬浮液的生物模型进行连续单源 DECT 扫描。VNC 图像在 80 和 135 kVp 下进行了等效重建。对 VNC 和传统 CT 图像进行了用于 MSU 检测的双材料分解分析。对两种模式的 MSU 检测和衰减值进行了比较:对于 0%、0.25%、0.5%、1% 和 2% 的 ICM,使用 VNC 后处理的所有 MSU 浓度(35%-50%)的平均检测指数(DIs)分别为:网格模型扫描为 25.2%、36.6%、30.9%、38.9% 和 45.8%;猪模型扫描为 11.7%、9.4%、5.5%、24.0% 和 25.0%。在传统 CT 图像组中,网格模型扫描的平均 DI 分别为 35.4%、54.3%、45.4%、1.0% 和 0.0%,猪模型扫描的平均 DI 分别为 19.4%、17.9%、3.0%、0.0% 和 0.0%:结论:VNC 能有效减少高浓度 ICM 对信息的抑制,从而改善 MSU 的检测:对比度增强 DECT 可用于诊断痛风,而无需进行原始采集:- 高浓度造影剂阻碍了 CT 成像对单钠尿酸盐晶体的检测--虚拟非对比造影可重新检测出高浓度碘化造影剂中的单钠尿酸盐晶体。- 仅对比度增强 DECT 就足以诊断痛风,而无需原始采集。

Background: To study the reproducibility of 23Na magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements from breast tissue in healthy volunteers.

Methods: Using a dual-tuned bilateral 23Na/1H breast coil at 3-T MRI, high-resolution 23Na MRI three-dimensional cones sequences were used to quantify total sodium concentration (TSC) and fluid-attenuated sodium concentration (FASC). B1-corrected TSC and FASC maps were created. Two readers manually measured mean, minimum and maximum TSC and mean FASC values using two sampling methods: large regions of interest (LROIs) and small regions of interest (SROIs) encompassing fibroglandular tissue (FGT) and the highest signal area at the level of the nipple, respectively. The reproducibility of the measurements and correlations between density, age and FGT apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were evaluatedss.

Results: Nine healthy volunteers were included. The inter-reader reproducibility of TSC and FASC using SROIs and LROIs was excellent (intraclass coefficient range 0.945-0.979, p < 0.001), except for the minimum TSC LROI measurements (p = 0.369). The mean/minimum LROI TSC and mean LROI FASC values were lower than the respective SROI values (p < 0.001); the maximum LROI TSC values were higher than the SROI TSC values (p = 0.009). TSC correlated inversely with age but not with FGT ADCs. The mean and maximum FGT TSC and FASC values were higher in dense breasts in comparison to non-dense breasts (p < 0.020).

Conclusions: The chosen sampling method and the selected descriptive value affect the measured TSC and FASC values, although the inter-reader reproducibility of the measurements is in general excellent.

Relevance statement: 23Na MRI at 3 T allows the quantification of TSC and FASC sodium concentrations. The sodium measurements should be obtained consistently in a uniform manner.

Key points: 23Na MRI allows the quantification of total and fluid-attenuated sodium concentrations (TSC/FASC). • Sampling method (large/small region of interest) affects the TSC and FASC values. • Dense breasts have higher TSC and FASC values than non-dense breasts. • The inter-reader reproducibility of TSC and FASC measurements was, in general, excellent. • The results suggest the importance of stratifying the sodium measurements protocol.

Background: Three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) is a largely adopted non-invasive technique for assessing cerebrovascular diseases. We aimed to optimize the 7-T TOF-MRA acquisition protocol, confirm that it outperforms conventional 3-T TOF-MRA, and compare 7-T TOF-MRA with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in patients with different vascular pathologies.

Methods: Seven-tesla TOF-MRA sequences with different spatial resolutions acquired in four healthy subjects were compared with 3-T TOF-MRA for signal-to-noise and contrast-to-noise ratios as well as using a qualitative scale for vessel visibility and the quantitative Canny algorithm. Four patients with cerebrovascular disease (primary arteritis of the central nervous system, saccular aneurism, arteriovenous malformation, and dural arteriovenous fistula) underwent optimized 7-T TOF-MRA and DSA as reference. Images were compared visually and using the complex-wavelet structural similarity index.

Results: Contrast-to-noise ratio was higher at 7 T (4.5 ± 0.8 (mean ± standard deviation)) than at 3 T (2.7 ± 0.9). The mean quality score for all intracranial vessels was higher at 7 T (2.89) than at 3 T (2.28). Angiogram quality demonstrated a better vessel border detection at 7 T than at 3 T (44,166 versus 28,720 pixels). Of 32 parameters used for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases on DSA, 27 (84%) were detected on 7-T TOF-MRA; the similarity index ranged from 0.52 (dural arteriovenous fistula) to 0.90 (saccular aneurysm).

Conclusions: Seven-tesla TOF-MRA outperformed conventional 3-T TOF-MRA in evaluating intracranial vessels and exhibited an excellent image quality when compared to DSA. Seven-tesla TOF-MRA might improve the non-invasive diagnostic approach to several cerebrovascular diseases.

Relevance statement: An optimized TOF-MRA sequence at 7 T outperforms 3-T TOF-MRA, opening perspectives to its clinical use for noninvasive diagnosis of paradigmatic pathologies of intracranial vessels.

Key points: • An optimized 7-T TOF-MRA protocol was selected for comparison with clinical 3-T TOF-MRA for assessing intracranial vessels. • Seven-tesla TOF-MRA outperformed 3-T TOF-MRA in both quantitative and qualitative evaluation. • Seven-tesla TOF-MRA is comparable to DSA for the diagnosis and characterization of intracranial vascular pathologies.

背景:三维飞行时间磁共振血管成像(TOF-MRA)是评估脑血管疾病的一种广泛采用的无创技术。我们的目的是优化 7-T TOF-MRA 采集方案,证实它优于传统的 3-T TOF-MRA,并比较 7-T TOF-MRA 与数字减影血管造影术(DSA)在不同血管病变患者中的应用:方法:将四名健康受试者获得的不同空间分辨率的七特斯拉 TOF-MRA 序列与 3-T TOF-MRA 的信噪比和对比度与信噪比进行比较,并使用血管可见度定性标度和 Canny 定量算法进行比较。四名脑血管疾病患者(中枢神经系统原发性动脉炎、囊状动脉瘤、动静脉畸形和硬脑膜动静脉瘘)接受了优化的 7-T TOF-MRA 和 DSA 作为参考。通过视觉和复小波结构相似性指数对图像进行比较:结果:7 T(4.5 ± 0.8(平均值 ± 标准偏差))对比噪比高于 3 T(2.7 ± 0.9)。所有颅内血管的平均质量评分在 7 T(2.89)时高于 3 T(2.28)。血管造影质量显示,7 T 比 3 T(44,166 像素比 28,720 像素)更能检测到血管边界。在 DSA 上用于诊断脑血管疾病的 32 个参数中,有 27 个(84%)在 7 T TOF-MRA 上被检测到;相似指数从 0.52(硬脑膜动静脉瘘)到 0.90(囊状动脉瘤)不等:结论:在评估颅内血管方面,七特斯拉TOF-MRA优于传统的3-T TOF-MRA,与DSA相比,七特斯拉TOF-MRA显示出卓越的图像质量。七特斯拉 TOF-MRA 可能会改善多种脑血管疾病的无创诊断方法:优化的 7 T TOF-MRA 序列优于 3 T TOF-MRA,为临床应用于颅内血管典型病变的无创诊断开辟了前景:- 要点:为评估颅内血管,选择了优化的 7-T TOF-MRA 方案与临床 3-T TOF-MRA 进行比较。- 七特斯拉 TOF-MRA 在定量和定性评估方面均优于 3-T TOF-MRA。- 在诊断和描述颅内血管病变方面,七特斯拉 TOF-MRA 可与 DSA 相媲美。

Background: Quantitative techniques such as T2 and T1ρ mapping allow evaluating the cartilage and meniscus. We evaluated multi-interleaved X-prepared turbo-spin echo with intuitive relaxometry (MIXTURE) sequences with turbo spin-echo (TSE) contrast and additional parameter maps versus reference TSE sequences in an in situ model of human cartilage defects.

Methods: Standardized cartilage defects of 8, 5, and 3 mm in diameter were created in the lateral femora of ten human cadaveric knee specimens (81 ± 10 years old; nine males, one female). MIXTURE sequences providing proton density-weighted fat-saturated images and T2 maps or T1-weighted images and T1ρ maps as well as the corresponding two- and three-dimensional TSE reference sequences were acquired before and after defect creation (3-T scanner; knee coil). Defect delineability, bone texture, and cartilage relaxation times were quantified. Appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests were used.

Results: Overall, defect delineability and texture features were not significantly different between the MIXTURE and reference sequences (p ≤ 0.47). After defect creation, relaxation times significantly increased in the central femur (T2pre = 51 ± 4 ms [mean ± standard deviation] versus T2post = 56 ± 4 ms; p = 0.002) and all regions combined (T1ρpre = 40 ± 4 ms versus T1ρpost = 43 ± 4 ms; p = 0.004).

Conclusions: MIXTURE permitted time-efficient simultaneous morphologic and quantitative joint assessment based on clinical image contrasts. While providing T2 or T1ρ maps in clinically feasible scan time, morphologic image features, i.e., cartilage defects and bone texture, were comparable between MIXTURE and reference sequences.

Relevance statement: Equally time-efficient and versatile, the MIXTURE sequence platform combines morphologic imaging using familiar contrasts, excellent image correspondence versus corresponding reference sequences and quantitative mapping information, thereby increasing the diagnostic value beyond mere morphology.

Key points: • Combined morphologic and quantitative MIXTURE sequences are based on three-dimensional TSE contrasts. • MIXTURE sequences were studied in an in situ human cartilage defect model. • Morphologic image features, i.e., defect delineabilty and bone texture, were investigated. • Morphologic image features were similar between MIXTURE and reference sequences. • MIXTURE allowed time-efficient simultaneous morphologic and quantitative knee joint assessment.

背景:T2和T1ρ映射等定量技术可对软骨和半月板进行评估。我们在人体软骨缺损原位模型中评估了多交错 X 准备涡轮自旋回波与直观弛豫测量(MIXTURE)序列与涡轮自旋回波(TSE)对比和附加参数图与参考 TSE 序列的对比:在十具人类尸体膝关节标本(81 ± 10 岁;九男一女)的股骨外侧创建直径分别为 8、5 和 3 毫米的标准化软骨缺损。在创建缺损前后采集了提供质子密度加权脂肪饱和图像和 T2 图或 T1 加权图像和 T1ρ 图的 MIXTURE 序列以及相应的二维和三维 TSE 参考序列(3-T 扫描仪;膝关节线圈)。对缺损的可划分性、骨纹理和软骨弛豫时间进行了量化。使用了适当的参数或非参数检验:总体而言,MIXTURE 和参考序列的缺损可划定性和纹理特征无明显差异(p ≤ 0.47)。缺陷形成后,股骨中部(T2pre = 51 ± 4 ms [平均值±标准偏差] 与 T2post = 56 ± 4 ms;p = 0.002)和所有区域(T1ρpre = 40 ± 4 ms 与 T1ρpost = 43 ± 4 ms;p = 0.004)的弛豫时间明显增加:MIXTURE 可根据临床图像对比对关节同时进行高效的形态学和定量评估。在临床可行的扫描时间内提供 T2 或 T1ρ 地图的同时,MIXTURE 和参考序列的形态学图像特征(即软骨缺损和骨质)具有可比性:MIXTURE序列平台具有同样的时间效率和多功能性,它结合了使用熟悉对比度的形态学成像、与相应参考序列的出色图像对应性以及定量绘图信息,从而提高了诊断价值,而不仅仅是形态学:- 要点:结合形态学和定量的 MIXTURE 序列基于三维 TSE 对比。- 在原位人体软骨缺损模型中对 MIXTURE 序列进行了研究。- 研究了形态学图像特征,即缺损清晰度和骨纹理。- MIXTURE 和参考序列的形态学图像特征相似。- MIXTURE 可同时对膝关节进行高效的形态学和定量评估。

Background: Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) has emerged as a promising non-invasive technique for studying metabolism in vivo. This review aims to summarize the current developments and discuss the futures in DMI technique in vivo.

Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted based on the PRISMA 2020 statement by two authors. Specific technical details and potential applications of DMI in vivo were summarized, including strategies of deuterated metabolites detection, deuterium-labeled tracers and corresponding metabolic pathways in vivo, potential clinical applications, routes of tracer administration, quantitative evaluations of metabolisms, and spatial resolution.

Results: Of the 2,248 articles initially retrieved, 34 were finally included, highlighting 2 strategies for detecting deuterated metabolites: direct and indirect DMI. Various deuterated tracers (e.g., [6,6'-2H2]glucose, [2,2,2'-2H3]acetate) were utilized in DMI to detect and quantify different metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and fatty acid oxidation. The quantifications (e.g., lactate level, lactate/glutamine and glutamate ratio) hold promise for diagnosing malignancies and assessing early anti-tumor treatment responses. Tracers can be administered orally, intravenously, or intraperitoneally, either through bolus administration or continuous infusion. For metabolic quantification, both serial time point methods (including kinetic analysis and calculation of area under the curves) and single time point quantifications are viable. However, insufficient spatial resolution remains a major challenge in DMI (e.g., 3.3-mL spatial resolution with 10-min acquisition at 3 T).

Conclusions: Enhancing spatial resolution can facilitate the clinical translation of DMI. Furthermore, optimizing tracer synthesis, administration protocols, and quantification methodologies will further enhance their clinical applicability.

Relevance statement: Deuterium metabolic imaging, a promising non-invasive technique, is systematically discussed in this review for its current progression, limitations, and future directions in studying in vivo energetic metabolism, displaying a relevant clinical potential.

Key points: • Deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) shows promise for studying in vivo energetic metabolism. • This review explores DMI's current state, limits, and future research directions comprehensively. • The clinical translation of DMI is mainly impeded by limitations in spatial resolution.

背景:氘代谢成像(DMI)已成为研究体内代谢的一种前景广阔的非侵入性技术。本综述旨在总结氘代谢成像技术的发展现状,并探讨其在体内应用的前景:方法:两位作者根据 PRISMA 2020 声明进行了系统的文献综述。方法:两位作者根据 PRISMA 2020 声明进行了系统的文献综述,总结了 DMI 在体内的具体技术细节和潜在应用,包括氘代代谢物检测策略、氘标记示踪剂和体内相应的代谢途径、潜在的临床应用、示踪剂给药途径、代谢的定量评估和空间分辨率:在最初检索到的 2,248 篇文章中,有 34 篇最终被收录,其中突出了两种检测氘代代谢物的策略:直接和间接 DMI。在 DMI 中使用了各种氘化示踪剂(如[6,6'-2H2]葡萄糖、[2,2,2'-2H3]乙酸酯)来检测和量化不同的代谢途径,如糖酵解、三羧酸循环和脂肪酸氧化。这些量化指标(如乳酸水平、乳酸/谷氨酰胺和谷氨酸比率)有望用于诊断恶性肿瘤和评估早期抗肿瘤治疗反应。示踪剂可通过口服、静脉注射或腹腔注射给药,也可通过栓剂给药或持续输注给药。在代谢定量方面,连续时间点方法(包括动力学分析和曲线下面积计算)和单个时间点定量都是可行的。然而,空间分辨率不足仍是 DMI 面临的主要挑战(例如,在 3 T 下 10 分钟采集的空间分辨率为 3.3 毫升):结论:提高空间分辨率可促进 DMI 的临床转化。此外,优化示踪剂合成、给药方案和定量方法将进一步提高其临床适用性:氘代谢成像是一种前景广阔的非侵入性技术,本综述系统地讨论了它在研究体内能量代谢方面的当前进展、局限性和未来方向,并展示了相关的临床潜力:- 氘代谢成像(DMI)有望用于研究体内能量代谢。- 这篇综述全面探讨了 DMI 的现状、局限性和未来研究方向。- 氘代谢成像的临床应用主要受到空间分辨率的限制。
