Abstract

The sensitivity of proton MR Spectroscopic Imaging ((1)H-MRSI) of the prostate can be optimized by using the high magnetic field strength of 7 T in combination with an endorectal coil. In the work described in this paper we introduce an endorectal transceiver at 7 T, validate its safety for in vivo use and apply a pulse sequence, optimized for three-dimensional (3D) (1)H-MRSI of the human prostate at 7 T. A transmit/receive endorectal RF coil was adapted from a commercially available 3 T endorectal receive-only coil and validated to remain within safety guidelines for radiofrequency (RF) power deposition using numerical models, MR thermometry of phantoms, and in vivo temperature measurements. The (1)H-MRSI pulse sequence used adiabatic slice selective refocusing pulses and frequency-selective water and lipid suppression to selectively obtain the relevant metabolite signals from the prostate. Quantum mechanical simulations were used to adjust the inter-pulse timing for optimal detection of the strongly coupled spin system of citrate resulting in an echo time of 56 ms. Using this endorectal transceiver and pulse sequence with slice selective adiabatic refocusing pulses, 3D (1)H-MRSI of the human prostate is feasible at 7 T with a repetition time of 2 s. The optimized inter-pulse timing enables the absorptive detection of resonances of spins from spermine and citrate in phase with creatine and choline. These potential tumor markers may improve the in vivo detection, localization, and assessment of prostate cancer.

摘要

通过将7 T的高磁场强度与直肠内线圈结合使用,可以优化前列腺质子磁共振波谱成像((1)H-MRSI)的灵敏度。在本文所述的工作中,我们介绍了一种7 T的直肠内收发器,验证了其体内使用的安全性,并应用了一种针对7 T下人体前列腺的三维(3D)(1)H-MRSI进行优化的脉冲序列。一个发射/接收直肠内射频线圈是从市售的3 T仅用于接收的直肠内线圈改装而来,并通过数值模型、体模的磁共振测温以及体内温度测量验证其保持在射频(RF)功率沉积的安全指南范围内。(1)H-MRSI脉冲序列使用绝热切片选择性重聚焦脉冲以及频率选择性水和脂质抑制,以选择性地从前列腺获得相关代谢物信号。利用量子力学模拟来调整脉冲间定时,以实现对柠檬酸强耦合自旋系统的最佳检测,从而得到56 ms的回波时间。使用这种直肠内收发器和带有切片选择性绝热重聚焦脉冲的脉冲序列,7 T下人体前列腺的3D(1)H-MRSI在重复时间为2 s时是可行的。优化的脉冲间定时能够以吸收方式检测精胺和柠檬酸自旋与肌酸和胆碱同相共振。这些潜在的肿瘤标志物可能会改善前列腺癌的体内检测、定位和评估。
