The purposes of this study were to clarify the difference in image characteristics of EPI with compressed SENSE (EPICS) DWI and conventional EPI-SENSE DWI when the reduction factor is increased, and to investigate the optimal reduction factor setting for EPICS DWI.
Using Philips MRI Ingenia Elition 3.0T and a phantom, we compared the SNR, CNR, and ADC values between the EPI-SENSE and EPICS methods with increasing reduction factor. The presence of deployment failure artifacts was verified by the dynamic noise scan method. P<0.05 was set as the significance level.
The EPICS method showed significantly higher SNR (1.1-1.4 times) and CNR (1.3-1.8 times) than the EPI-SENSE method at reduction factors 2-5 (P<0.05), with less deployment failure artifacts. The ADC of the EPICS method was 0.03-0.07×10 mm/s lower at reduction factors 3-5.
EPICS DWI is a useful imaging method that is highly effective in reducing image degradation in high reduction factor imaging.
本研究的目的是阐明当压缩因子增加时,压缩感知回波平面成像(EPICS)扩散加权成像(DWI)与传统回波平面成像感知编码(EPI-SENSE)DWI图像特征的差异,并研究EPICS DWI的最佳压缩因子设置。
使用飞利浦MRI Ingenia Elition 3.0T和体模,我们比较了随着压缩因子增加,EPI-SENSE和EPICS方法之间的信噪比(SNR)、对比噪声比(CNR)和表观扩散系数(ADC)值。通过动态噪声扫描方法验证部署失败伪影的存在。将P<0.05设定为显著性水平。
在压缩因子为2至5时,EPICS方法的SNR(1.1至1.4倍)和CNR(1.3至1.8倍)显著高于EPI-SENSE方法(P<0.05),部署失败伪影较少。在压缩因子为3至5时,EPICS方法的ADC低0.03至0.07×10⁻³mm²/s。
EPICS DWI是一种有用的成像方法,在高压缩因子成像中能有效减少图像退化。
