[Abstract] Objective To explore the clinical application value of constellation shuttling imaging technology in cranial magnetic resonance scanning.Materials and Methods: Brain imaging of 20 healthy adult volunteers on a United Imaging uMR780 3.0 T superconducting magnetic resonance, with 24-channel phased array coils, from July to August 2020, this study recruited without contraindications to magnetic resonance scanning, including 10 males and 10 females, aged 22—69 (40.2±13.3) year old. Two radiologists with an attending physician level or above perform subjective image quality assessment without knowing the image sequence information: based on visual assessment, comprehensive signal-to-noise ratio, artifacts, and the definition of gray matter borders, they perform Likert 5-level scoring. The data results were tested by kappa. Place the region of interest (ROI) in the gray matter (GM,) and white matter (WM) and background noise regions corresponding to the anatomical structure, and repeat the intensity of the gray matter, white matter signal and noise signal (noise signal), take the average of the three measurements and calculate the SNR and CNR. Using the voxel-based morphometrics CAT-12 software to obtain the total brain parenchymal volume, total gray matter volume, total white matter volume, and total cerebrospinal fluid volume. All of the above uses the statistical software version SPSS 23.0 to perform Paired t test, and the difference is statistically significant with P<0.05.Results The image quality of the included study Likert grade 5 score (4—5 points), the test score result: Kappa value is 0.801, P value is less than 0.001, it is considered that the image quality evaluation results of the two doctors are statistically consistent. For SNR and CNR, a t test was performed to compare the two sets of data. The results showed that the signal-to-noise ratio between the two was statistically different, and the light shuttle imaging technology group was higher than the parallel acquisition technology group. Using the voxel-based morphometrics CAT-12 software to obtain the total brain parenchymal volume, total gray matter volume, total white matter volume, and total cerebrospinal fluid volume, paired t-test was performed, and the P values ​​were 0.98, 0.25, 0.50, 0.11, respectively. Both are greater than 0.05. There is no significant difference between the two groups of different scanning methods based on the voxel-based morphometric results in statistical significance. The scanning time of the constellation shuttling imaging technology is reduced by 116 s, which is reduced to 40%.Conclusions Compared with the traditional parallel acquisition technology, the constellation shuttling imaging technology has a better image signal-to-noise ratio in the skull T1W sequence than the parallel acquisition technology, and can significantly shorten the scanning time, which has important clinical application value.
