Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MRI was performed at 1.5 or 3.0 T (Philips Acheiva) using an 8-channel head coil with a standard protocol using two doses of a gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA) for dynamic imaging according to the following schedule: (1) Pre-contrast: Sagittal SE T1w, 3D SWI. Axial SE T1, FSE T2, EPI diffusion tensor (15 direction B = 0, 1000). (2) For dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI Dynamic 1: Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI using T1 FFE. (3) Post-contrast 1: Axial SE T1 (follows first dose). (4) Dynamic 2: Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) using T2* EPI (5) Post-contrast 2: Sagittal 3D isotropic T1-FFE and 3D FLAIR. Each dynamic study was associated with bolus injection of 0.1 mmol/kg ProHance (unless contraindicated due to prior adverse reaction in which case another agent was substituted). For DCE, injection was 0.3 mL/s. For DSC, injection rate was typically 5 mL/s, but could be reduced based on status of I.V. access.
Perfusion maps of CBV, CBF and mTT were computed by the estimation of an arterial input function and deconvolution. The preinjection for the DCE MRI component of the imaging minimizes leakage effects on DSC estimates, therefore, no leakage correction was performed.

The morphological lesion volume (expressed in ml) was measured in MRI data if available (seven patients) or in contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) data (eight patients) by manual delineation using ROVER software. CECT or MRI was performed within 8 weeks of the FDG-PET/CT examination (median, 1 day; IQR, 0 to 14 days; range, 0 to 48 days). CECT data were acquired 70 s after intravenous injection of 80 to 150 ml of a non-ionic iodinated contrast agent (Imeron 300, iomeprol 300, Bracco ALTANA Pharma GmbH, Konstanz, Germany). CT scans were performed from the apex of the lungs to the thigh (automatic tube current modulation with maximum tube current, 230 mAs; tube voltage, 120 kV; gantry rotation, 0.5 s). MRI of the liver was performed using a 1.5-T Philips Acheiva® (Philips, Best, The Netherlands) in enhanced T1 High Resolution Isotropic Volume Excitation (eTHRIVE) mode after intravenous administration of 0.025 mmol/kg bodyweight Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist®, Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Data were collected using a 3 T whole-body MR scanner (Philips Acheiva, Philips Medical Systems Lts, NL). Following acquisition of scout images a 3D imaging volume was acquired using a T1-weighted spoiled gradient echo acquisition in the oblique-coronal plane. The volume encompassed both kidneys and the descending aorta and the data were obtained in a single breathhold. Gadolinium was not used for acquisition of the data. The following parameters were used for the acquistion: TR = 4.0ms, TE = 1.0ms, FOV = 400x400x80mm, flip angle = 14 degrees, 2 signal averages, parallel acquisition using a SENSE factor = 2, following interpolation in the Fourier domain matrix = 256x256x40). The parenchymal volumes were calculated from the 3D volume images using the voxel-count method as we have previously described[12 (link),17 (link)].

MRI Neuroimaging Protocol for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Imaging was performed with 3 Tesla MRI (Acheiva, Philips) using an 8 channel dedicated head coil as per the standard operating procedure under anesthesia, if required. The MRI scans were obtained by first performing a three-plane localizer scan, followed by an axial turbo spin-echo T2-weighted scan (TR/TE 3270/80 ms, flip angle 90°, field of view (FOV) 250 mm, acquisition voxel size 0.89/1.21/5.00 mm, slice thickness/gap 5 mm/1 mm); T2-weighted fluid attenuation and inversion recovery sense (TR/TE 11000/120 MS, flip angle 90°, FOV 250 mm, ACQ voxel size 0.96/1.79/5.00 mm, slice thickness/gap 5 mm/1 mm). Three-dimensional magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo volumetric acquisition of the whole-brain were acquired (TR/TE = 8.3/3.8 ms, sense factor = 1.5, flip angle = 8°, FOV = 256, acquisition voxel size 1/1/1 mm). DTI was done in 32 directions (DWISE, TR/TE = 8987/61.2 ms, no of slices 70, FOV 224 mm, acquisition voxel size 2/2/2 mm, slice thickness/gap = 2 mm/0 mm, no of directions 32, b values = 0, 1000). Total scan time was 35 min. All the children with autism required some form of sedation for the acquisition of MRI data under the monitoring by a neuroanesthesiologist. There were no anesthesia-related complications.

Patients were imaged on a 1.5T whole body scanner (Philips Acheiva, Philips Medical Systems) using an 8-channel head coil. Imaging included anatomical sequences before and after contrast agent administration for measurement of tumor volume. Diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) were collected using 3 B values (0, 400, and 800 s/mm3). DCE-MRI data were collected using a dual-injection technique, as described previously.16 (link) Contrast agent (CA; gadoterate meglumine; Dotarem, Geurbet S.A.) was administered by power injector as an intravenous bolus at a rate of 3 mL/s, followed by a chaser of 20 mL/s of 0.9% saline administered at the same rate. A high temporal resolution (1 s) sequence with a low dose of contrast agent (0.02 mmol/kg) was performed (LDHT-DCE) to allow accurate measurement of the arterial input (AIF) and tissue residue functions. Subsequently, a full CA dose (0.1 mmol/kg), high-spatial resolution (voxel size = 1 × 1 × 2 mm) acquisition (FDHS-DCE) was performed to provide high spatial resolution data and scaling of the AIF. Variable flip angle (VFA; α = 2°, 8°, 15° and 20°) acquisitions were performed prior to the LDHT DCE series for native longitudinal relaxation rate (R1N) mapping.

Weight and height were measured pre- and post- intervention, and BMI was calculated. Waist circumference was measured using the Gulick II tape measure directly on the skin. Fat mass and fat-free mass were determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) using a GE Lunar (GE Healthcare, UK).
Additionally, abdominal and thigh adipose tissue (AT) and muscle volume was measured by MRI at baseline and following treatment on a 3 Tesla magnet (Philips Acheiva) at AH TRI. The MRI scan was performed at the mid-point of the femur to quantify thigh muscle cross-sectional area, subcutaneous, and intermuscular AT (IMAT). For abdominal AT images, high resolution axial images were taken of the entire abdomen to quantify abdominal subcutaneous and visceral AT volume. Resultant images were analyzed using Analyze 11.0 (Biomedical Imaging Resource, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN) to segment AT and muscle depots and measure volume.

After 3DSS, the participant underwent MRI scanning on a rigid substrate in the lateral position with fiducial markers adhered to the spinal column. The participant had fiducial markers, in the form of vitamin D capsules, adhered to the 3DSS stickers along the spinal column. Vitamin D capsules were used as they displayed excellent contrast, and image clarity was sufficient for capturing the spinous processes. The participant was then relocated to the gantry of a clinical MRI scanner where they were repositioned with the same postural criterion as was used for the 3DSS. A T1-weighted MRI sequence (3-T Philips Acheiva, Echo time 1.725 ms, Repetition time 3.82 ms, In-plane resolution 0.708 x 0.708 mm, Slice spacing 0.75 mm, Scan duration 12 minutes) was used, capturing a field of view from the lower cervical spine to the femoral head with full skin envelope.
