Non-Invasive FEXI Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Imaging was performed on a Philips 3T Achieva TX scanner with 16-channel breast coil. The parameters of the FEXI protocol in vivo were: δ=10 ms, Δ=21 ms, tm = 12 (×2), 250 (×2) ms, bf = 0.3 ms/μm2, b = 0.044 (×3), 0.51 (×6) ms/μm2. Here ×2 means that the acquisition was repeated twice with the same parameter, and correspondingly for ×3 and ×6. The values of tm and bf were selected with an optimization minimizing noise propagation, assuming ADC values of 1.3–1.9 μm2/ms (8 ,15 (link)). FEXI was performed with diffusion encoding applied along three orthogonal directions. Seven 5 mm thick slices were acquired using EPI with 3×3 mm spatial resolution, TR = 3 s and total scan time of 6:06 min. Because standard fat suppression did not perform well, we isolated the water and fat signals by chemical shift separation.

Ten volunteers (7 male, 3 female) were scanned on a Philips 3T Achieva TX scanner using the lower resolution breath-hold and the higher resolution free breathing scans. The volunteers were scanned under an IRB approved protocol and informed consent was obtained after the nature of the procedures was fully explained. A respiratory pad was employed to monitor the breathing cycle and for triggering the free breathing scans. A 16-channel receive coil (SENSE Torso-XL) was used for the study.

Functional and anatomical data sets were acquired in a 3T Achieva TX Scanner (Philips Healthcare, Best, the Netherlands) with the use of the eight-channel head coil. To evaluate brain morphology and exclude subjects with brain pathology standard T1 and T2 sequences were applied. No contrast agent was administered.

During the resting state, acquisition subjects were asked to consciously attend to the fixation point presented in the center of the visual field and not to think of anything specific. The fixation point was presented via MRI-compatible goggles (NNL fMRI VisualSystem).

Here, ‘×2’ means that the acquisition was repeated twice with the same parameter, and correspondingly for ‘×3’ and ‘×6’. The values of tm and bf were selected with an optimization minimizing noise propagation, assuming ADC values of 1.3–1.9 μm2/ms 8, 15. FEXI was performed with diffusion encoding applied along three orthogonal directions. Seven 5‐mm‐thick slices were acquired using echo planar imaging (EPI) with 3 × 3‐mm2 spatial resolution, TR = 3 s and a total scan time of 6 min and 6 s. Because standard fat suppression did not perform well, we isolated the water and fat signals by chemical shift separation.

A radiologist reviewed all scans, and all images were visually inspected to ensure that no gross abnormalities were evident. Image processing and analyses were performed using SPM8 (Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, London, UK; http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm) in Matlab r2011b (Mathworks Inc., Sherborn, MA, USA), and SPM12 for the estimation of cluster extent accounting for multiple comparison correction for F-tests. The pre-processing pipeline is described in Supplementary Material.

DCE-MRI studies were performed on a Philips Achieva 3T-TX scanner (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) using a 16-channel bilateral breast coil (MammoTrak, Philips Healthcare). The acquisition parameters for the ‘ultrafast’ and standard clinical acquisition are summarized in Table 1. All images were acquired in the axial plane. Temporal resolution for fast scans ranged from 7 to 10 seconds, depending on the size of the field-of-view and number of slices acquired. The DCE series consisted of 1 standard clinical acquisition and 5 ultrafast acquisitions pre-injection, followed by 8 fast acquisitions (starting immediately after injection and ending 55 – 80 s after injection) followed by 4 standard clinical acquisitions after the injection of contrast media at a dose of 0.1 mM/kg gadobenate dimeglumine (Multihance, Bracco, NJ) at 2 ml/s, followed by a saline flush of 20 ml at 2 ml/s. The 5 ultrafast pre-contrast sequences were acquired to measure the noise level pre-contrast. Ultrafast and standard clinical acquisitions were acquired as one sequence block.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole brain T2-weighted EPI-BOLD data were acquired with a Philips Achieva 3T TX scanner (Philips Medical Systems, Best, Netherlands) using a 32-channel receiver head coil array. Blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI images were generated with a gradient-echo-planar-imaging (EPI) pulse sequence (TR/TE = 2500/30 ms, flip angle = 84°, matrix = 80 × 80, FOV = 240 mm × 240 mm, 44 slices, slice thickness 3 mm, 0.5 mm interslice spacing), that yielded 3 mm × 3 mm × 3 mm voxels. Slices were acquired in descending order and in transverse orientation. Each of the two runs consisted of a total of 335 volumes. Five dummy scans were performed prior to image acquisition aiming to eliminate signals arising from progressive saturation. In addition, a high-resolution T1 anatomic image (TR/TE = 8.1/3.7 ms, flip angle = 8°, matrix 240 × 240, FOV = 240 mm × 240 mm, 160 slices, slice thickness 1.0 mm, 1 mm × 1 mm × 1 mm voxels) was obtained for each subject.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
