To determine the feasibility and sensitivity of multisection fast low-angle shot (FLASH) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the depiction of hepatic metastases.
The cases of 10 patients with 39 surgically proved hepatic metastases were prospectively evaluated. After unenhanced T1- and T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) and FLASH imaging, 4 mL of a 0.5 mol/L solution of a gadolinium chelate (tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetic acid) was injected into the superior mesenteric artery during FLASH imaging in a single breath-holding period.
No side effects were noted. With multisection FLASH MR arterial portography, tumor-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (34.5 +/- 4.4) was significantly increased compared with unenhanced MR imaging. Sensitivity was 74% (29 of 39) for combined SE and multisection FLASH imaging and 95% (37 of 39) for multisection FLASH MR arterial portography (McNemar test, P < .02).
Multisection FLASH MR arterial portography is a safe, feasible, and sensitive technique with which to detect hepatic metastases.
确定多层面快速低角度激发(FLASH)磁共振(MR)成像在显示肝转移瘤方面的可行性和敏感性。
前瞻性评估10例经手术证实有39个肝转移瘤患者的病例。在进行非增强T1加权和T2加权自旋回波(SE)以及FLASH成像后,在单次屏气期间的FLASH成像过程中,将4毫升0.5摩尔/升的钆螯合物(四氮杂环十二烷四乙酸)溶液注入肠系膜上动脉。
未观察到副作用。通过多层面FLASH MR动脉门静脉造影,与非增强MR成像相比,肿瘤与肝脏的对比噪声比(34.5±4.4)显著增加。联合SE和多层面FLASH成像的敏感性为74%(39个中的29个),多层面FLASH MR动脉门静脉造影的敏感性为95%(39个中的37个)(McNemar检验,P<.02)。
多层面FLASH MR动脉门静脉造影是一种检测肝转移瘤的安全、可行且敏感的技术。
