Phantom Measurements for 7T MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prior to patient measurements, phantom measurements were performed at 7 T. The “Braino”-phantom (General-Electric, USA) was used with the following metabolite concentrations: 5 mM NAA (N-Acetyl-l-aspartic acid), 10 mM of Cr (creatine), 3 mM of Cho (choline chloride), 7.5 mM of mI (Myo-inositol), 12.5 mM of Glu (l-glutamic acid; the ionic form known as glutamate), and 5 mM of Lac (l-Lactic acid). Spherical 2HG-phantom consisted of a pH-7 buffered solution of 7.8 mM of 2HG and 18 mM of glycine.

Braino Phantom Characterization on 3T MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A spherical homogeneous liquid “Braino” phantom (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI, USA), containing 12.5 mM of N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid [NAA], 10 mM of creatine hydrate [Cr], 3 mM of choline chloride [Ch], 7.5 mM of myo-inositol [mI], 12.5 mM of L-glutamic acid [Glu], 5 mM of DL-lactic acid [Lac], sodium azide (0.1%), 50 mM of potassium phosphate monobasic [KH2PO4], 56 mM of sodium hydroxide [NaOH] and 1 mL/L of Gd-DPTA [Magnevist] was scanned on a 3 T whole-body MRI system (Skyra, software version VE11C, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) using a 16-channel receive head coil. The phantom T1 and T2 relaxation times were measured with a technique based on MR fingerprinting and were approximately 430 ms and 330 ms, respectively [22 (link)].
We performed 100 repeated acquisitions of 5 parallel axial slices at the center of the phantom, using a fully-sampled 2D Gradient Echo (GRE) pulse sequence (TR = 500 ms, TE = 3.01 ms, flip angle = 5 degrees, field of view = 192×192 mm2, matrix size = 96×96, slice thickness = 5 mm, 1 mm gap). During the same scan, we also acquired a noise-only measurement, obtained by recording data with no RF excitation [4 (link)], [5 (link)].

Optimizing Metabolite Quantification in MRS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the effect of the coil combination method on accurate metabolite quantification, 1H MRS data were collected from a spherical brain spectroscopy phantom (Braino phantom, #2152220, GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL) containing 12.5 mM of NAA, 10 mM of Cr, 3 mM of Cho, 7.5 mM of myo‐inositol (mI), 12.5 mM of L‐glutamic acid (Glu), 5 mM of DL‐lactic acid (Lac), sodium azide (0.1%), 50 mM of potassium phosphate monobasic, 56 mM of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and 1 mL/L of Gd‐DPTA (Magnevist).23 MRS data were acquired during three separate scan sessions using 5‐6 different voxel positions/session for a total of 16 unique spectra of metabolites with known concentrations that were used to determine the accuracy of metabolite quantification after combination. A multi‐compartment phantom was also constructed to test for out‐of‐volume artifacts. The phantom was composed of two nested cylinders with an inner compartment containing 5 mM NAA and an outer compartment containing only water.

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.
