To evaluate the efficacy of a fully automatic, single-voxel, proton MR spectroscopy algorithm on a 3.0T MR system.
The PROBE/SVQ algorithm (GE Medical Systems) was evaluated on a General Electric (GE) Signa LX-3T system. Ten normal volunteers (female, 21.1+/-2.0 years old) participated in the study. Nine representative regions of interest were examined, namely, right and left frontal white matter; right and left parietal white matter; right and left basal ganglia; right and left dentate nucleus; and pons.
The mean coefficients of variation in all regions for the N-acetyl-aspartate to creatine ratio (NAA/Cr), choline to creatine ratio (Cho/Cr), and choline to N-acetyl-aspartate ratio (Cho/NAA) were 10.2+/-2.4%, 11.4+/-3.2% and 12.6+/-1.4%, respectively.
A fully automated spectroscopic examination under clinical setting utilizing the PROBE/SVQ algorithm appears to be a reliable method, extending the window of routine clinical assessment of brain metabolism.
评估一种在3.0T磁共振(MR)系统上的全自动、单体素质子磁共振波谱算法的效能。
在通用电气(GE)Signa LX - 3T系统上对PROBE/SVQ算法(GE医疗系统公司)进行评估。10名正常志愿者(女性,21.1±2.0岁)参与了该研究。检查了9个代表性感兴趣区域,即左右额叶白质;左右顶叶白质;左右基底神经节;左右齿状核;以及脑桥。
所有区域中N - 乙酰天门冬氨酸与肌酸比值(NAA/Cr)、胆碱与肌酸比值(Cho/Cr)以及胆碱与N - 乙酰天门冬氨酸比值(Cho/NAA)的平均变异系数分别为10.2±2.4%、11.4±3.2%和12.6±1.4%。
在临床环境下利用PROBE/SVQ算法进行的全自动波谱检查似乎是一种可靠的方法,拓宽了脑代谢常规临床评估的范围。
