Bone marrow (BM) damage due to chemoradiotherapy can increase BM fat in cervical cancer patients. Water-fat magnetic resonance (MR) scans were performed on a phantom and a healthy female volunteer to validate proton density fat fraction accuracy, reproducibility, and repeatability across different vendors, field strengths, and protocols. Phantom measurements showed a high accuracy, high repeatability, and excellent reproducibility. Volunteer measurements had an excellent intra- and interreader reliability, good repeatability, and moderate to good reproducibility. Water-fat MRI show potential for quantification of longitudinal vertebral BM fat changes. Further studies are needed to validate and extend these findings for broader clinical applicability.
放化疗导致的骨髓(BM)损伤会增加宫颈癌患者的骨髓脂肪。对一个体模和一名健康女性志愿者进行了水脂磁共振(MR)扫描,以验证质子密度脂肪分数在不同供应商、场强和协议下的准确性、可重复性和重复性。体模测量显示出高精度、高重复性和出色的可重复性。志愿者测量在阅片者内和阅片者间具有出色的可靠性、良好的重复性以及中等至良好的可重复性。水脂MRI显示出对纵向椎体骨髓脂肪变化进行量化的潜力。需要进一步研究来验证和扩展这些发现,以实现更广泛的临床应用。
