To evaluate whether decoupling improves signal-to-noise ratio and frequency resolution of in vivo kidney spectra, and to compare native and well-functioning transplant kidneys.
Proton decoupling in conjunction with three-dimensional chemical shift imaging (3D-CSI) in phosphorus-31 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy was used with a spatial resolution of 64 cm3 and 17-minute acquisition time to compare native (n = 10) and well-functioning transplant (n = 9) kidneys.
Proton decoupling improved peak amplitudes by almost 30%, as well as chemical shift resolution of in vivo kidney spectra. No statistically significant differences in phosphometabolite ratios and renal spectra were observed between healthy volunteers and patients with nonrejecting transplants. The phosphodiester-phosphomonoester ratio was 3.02 +/- 0.88, phosphomonoester-inorganic phosphate ratio was 1.07 +/- 0.44, and inorganic phosphate-adenosine triphosphate ratio was 0.58 +/- 0.22 after correction for saturation effects.
Improved spectra of native and transplant kidneys can be obtained in vivo with MR spectroscopy by using a short acquisition time.
评估去耦是否能提高体内肾脏光谱的信噪比和频率分辨率,并比较正常肾脏和功能良好的移植肾脏。
在磷-31磁共振(MR)波谱中,质子去耦与三维化学位移成像(3D-CSI)相结合,空间分辨率为64 cm³,采集时间为17分钟,用于比较正常肾脏(n = 10)和功能良好的移植肾脏(n = 9)。
质子去耦使体内肾脏光谱的峰值幅度提高了近30%,同时提高了化学位移分辨率。在健康志愿者和未发生排斥反应的移植患者之间,未观察到磷酸代谢物比率和肾脏光谱有统计学显著差异。校正饱和效应后,磷酸二酯-磷酸单酯比率为3.02±0.88,磷酸单酯-无机磷酸比率为1.07±0.44,无机磷酸-三磷酸腺苷比率为0.58±0.22。
通过使用较短的采集时间,利用MR波谱可在体内获得正常肾脏和移植肾脏的改善光谱。
