We assessed the quantitative accuracy of cardiac perfusion measurements using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI with simultaneous O-water PET as reference with a fully integrated PET-MR scanner.
15 patients underwent simultaneous DCE MRI and O-water PET scans at rest and adenosine-stress on an integrated PET-MR scanner. Correlation and agreement between MRI- and PET-based global and regional MBF values were assessed using correlation and Bland-Altman analysis.
Three subjects were excluded due to technical problems. Global mean (± SD) MBF values at rest and stress were 0.97 ± 0.27 and 3.19 ± 0.70 mL/g/min for MRI and 1.02 ± 0.28 and 3.13 ± 1.16 mL/g/min for PET (P = 0.66 and P = 0.81). The correlations between global and regional MRI- and PET-based MBF values were strong (r = 0.86 and r = 0.75). The biases were negligible for both global and regional MBF comparisons (0.01 and 0.00 mL/min/g for both), but the limits of agreement were wide for both global and regional MBF, with larger variability for high MBF-values.
The correlation between simultaneous MBF measurements with DCE MRI and O-water PET measured in an integrated PET-MRI was strong but the agreement was only moderate indicating that MRI-based quantitative MBF measurements is not ready for clinical introduction.
我们评估了使用动态对比增强 MRI 与同步 O-水 PET 作为参考的心脏灌注测量的定量准确性,该研究使用的是完全集成的 PET-MR 扫描仪。
15 例患者在集成的 PET-MR 扫描仪上进行了静息和腺苷应激状态下的 DCE MRI 和 O-水 PET 扫描。使用相关性和 Bland-Altman 分析评估 MRI 和 PET 基于全局和局部 MBF 值的相关性和一致性。
由于技术问题,有 3 名受试者被排除在外。MRI 和 PET 的静息和应激时的全局平均(±SD)MBF 值分别为 0.97 ± 0.27 和 3.19 ± 0.70 mL/g/min 和 1.02 ± 0.28 和 3.13 ± 1.16 mL/g/min(P = 0.66 和 P = 0.81)。全局和局部 MRI 和 PET 基于 MBF 值的相关性很强(r = 0.86 和 r = 0.75)。对于全局和局部 MBF 比较,偏差可以忽略不计(两者均为 0.01 和 0.00 mL/min/g),但全局和局部 MBF 的一致性范围很宽,高 MBF 值的变异性更大。
DCE MRI 和同步 O-水 PET 测量的 MBF 同步测量之间的相关性很强,但一致性仅为中等,表明基于 MRI 的定量 MBF 测量尚未准备好用于临床应用。
