Effect of gadolinium on vertebral fat fraction content using IDEAL-IQ technique
DOI:10.12015/issn.1674-8034.2016.11.012.
| [Abstract] Objective: This study evaluates the robustness of a magnetic resonance (MR) fat quantification method to changes in R2* caused by an intravenous infusion of gadolinium.Materials and Methods: The R2* and fat fraction content (FF) were measured in vertebral marrow in eight New Zealand white rabbits using an investigational sequence (IDEAL IQ) provided by the MR scanner vendor. Measurements were made once before and twice after Gd-BOPTA infusion (5 min, 30 min). Then HE stain was performed for calculating vertebral fat content (FCHIS), Prussian blue stain was performed for showing iron in vertebral.Results: Vertebral marrow FF measurements revealed no significant systematic bias between the three measurements (P>0.05 for all). Good agreement (95% confidence interval) of FF measurements were demonstrated between FF0 min and FF5 min (0.90, 1.10) and FF0 min and FF30 min (0.94, 1.07). A significant positive correlation is found between FF0 min and FCHIS (r=0.813, P<0.05). R2* increased after administration of gadolinium.Conclusion: Although under the impact of an increased R2* in vertebral marrow post-contrast, the investigational sequence can still obtain accurate and stable fat fraction content. the IDEAL IQ method of fat quantification is robust to changes in R2*. |
