Single shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) T2-weighted images were acquired on a 1.5T Discovery MR450 scanner (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) using an 8-channel surface receiver coil. Two sets of acquisition parameters were used: TE=160ms, TR=1100ms, 4mm slice thickness and 40 to 60 consecutive slices for full placental coverage in either the maternal coronal or axial plane for a final in-plane resolution of 1.64 mm for the first set, and TE=160ms, TR=1100ms, 8mm slice thickness in the maternal coronal plane for a final in-plane resolution of 0.85. No contrast or sedation was used for any of the MRI studies.

Longitudinal Structural MRI of Medicated Patients

16 patients underwent structural MR imaging at the Cambridge Biomedical Campus using a 1.5 T GE Medical Systems Discovery MR450 scanner. Structural MRI scans were collected prior to commencement of treatment and at 27 months (i.e. 3 months after treatment ceased) to avoid any effects of the medication on brain volumes and fluid shifts, given its known anti-hypertensive actions. A T1-weighted 3D Bravo fast spoiled gradient echo (SPGR) image was acquired with repetition time (TR) = 8156 ms, echo time (TE) = 3.18 ms, matrix = 256 × 256, in-plane resolution of 1 × 1 mm, 252 slices of 1 mm thickness, inversion time = 900 ms and flip angle = 9°.
Analysis of the MRI data was performed using Freesurfer v. 6 (stable-v6-beta-20151015). The region of interest (ROI) values was imported into SPSS. A paired t test was used to estimate the changes in volume between the two time-points.

Comprehensive Cardiac MRI Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CMR studies were performed with a 1.5-T Discovery MR450 scanner (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) in center A. In center B, a 1.5-T CVi scanner (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Wisconsin), a 1.5-T Achieva (Philips Medical Systems, Best, Netherlands) or a 1.5-T Aera scanner (Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) were used. Dedicated cardiac software, phased array surface receiver coils, and electrocardiogram triggering were used. Breath-hold steady-state free precession cine imaging was performed in vertical and horizontal long-axis orientations and in short-axis orientations. A stack of shortaxis slices encompassing the right and left ventricle from base to apex was used for biventricular volumes, mass, and systolic function assessment. For detecting myocardial brosis, we used a contrastenhanced, breath-hold, segmented T1-weighted inversion-recovery gradient-echo sequence with the LGE technique (i.e., LGE imaging). LGE imaging was performed 10 to 20 min after an intravenous bolus of 0.1 mmol/kg of gadolinium-BOPTA (Multihance, Bracco, Milan, Italy), 0.2 mmol/kg of gadolinium-DOTA (Dotarem, Guerbet, Roissy, France), or 0.2 mmol/kg of Gadobutrol (Gadovist, Bayer AG, Basel, Switzerland). Inversion time was individually adapted to null the signal of remote myocardium (usual range between 220 and 300 ms).

All women underwent the same MRI imaging protocol on a 1.5T Discovery MR450 scanner (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) using an 8-channel cardiac array (receive only) coil (USAI, Aurora, OH). Pregnant women were positioned in the left lateral or supine position, based on maternal preference for their comfort. The coil array was positioned covering the entire abdomen and pelvis to improve spatial resolution.
Dedicated anatomic single shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) fat suppressed T2-weighted images were acquired in the maternal axial or coronal plane for full placental coverage (TE=160ms, TR=1100ms, 4mm slice thickness). Pulsed gradient spin echo (PGSE) sequences were acquired (TE =53.8 ms, TR=8000 ms, data matrix size 96×96, filed of view (FOV) 420×420mm2, 4mm slice thickness) with the following b-values: 0, 25, 50, 114, 243, 500, 543, 800, 900 sec/mm2, diffusion time=25ms. Each MRI was reviewed by a pediatric radiologist to evaluate for placental malformations.

Multi-plane multi-phase single shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) T2-weighted images for fetal brain were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla GE Discovery MR450 scanner (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) using an eight-channel surface receiver coil (USAI, Aurora, OH). The following acquisition parameters were used: echo time = 160 ms; repetition time = 1100 ms; field of view = 320 × 320 mm2; matrix = 256 × 256; 2 mm slice thickness and 50 to 70 consecutive slices for full fetal brain coverage in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes for a final in-plane resolution of 1.25 × 1.25 mm2. Each subject was scanned up to two time points in the fetal period.

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.
