Diagnostic MRI for Placental Implantation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In our hospital, MR examination was performed using a 1.5-Tesla MR unit (Magnetom Avanto, Siemens). In the external hospital, one MR scan unit was a 3.0-Tesla machine (Ingenia 3.0 T, Philips), and another was a 1.5-Tesla MR unit (Optima MR 360, GE). The detailed scanning parameters for each unit are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. The diagnosis for placental implantation on MRI was established based on the previous well-described criteria8 (link),15 (link). First, two observers (each had more than 7 years of PAS diagnosis on MRI) blinded to the US and surgical results analyzed all the MRI datasets of each participant independently on the PACS terminal server. Confidence in identifying the status of placenta accreta spectrum was assessed using a five-point scale as follows: ‘5’, definitely present; ‘4’, probably present; ‘3’, uncertain; ‘2’, probably absent; and ‘1’, definitely absent. Second, all conclusions required a consensus agreement between the two observers. All visible placental tissue was examined by an experienced radiologist (H.Z.) on sagittal T2WI using ITk-SNAP software (http://www.itksnap.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage).

Patients underwent investigations that included routine blood counts, serum biochemistry, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, HIV serology, and chest radiograph. CSF was examined for opening pressure, cells (lymphocyte and neutrophil differential count), glucose, protein, acid-fast bacilli smear, culture, gene expert nucleic acid amplification test. India ink preparation was performed to exclude cryptococcal meningitis.
Brain MRI was performed on 1.5 T (Optima MR 360, General Electric Medical Systems, Wisconsin, United States) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system incorporating whole-brain axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), time-of-flight MRA in addition to T2-weighted and pre- and postgadolinium T1 weighted sequence. The patients were assessed for leptomeningeal enhancement, tuberculoma, cerebral infarction, hydrocephalus, ventriculitis, cranial nerve involvement, and significant stenosis in major cerebral arteries. Cerebral infarctions were recorded according to location and number. Stroke was diagnosed on the basis of DWI hyperintensity and corresponding hypointensity on ADC. MR angiographic abnormalities were characterized by greater than 50% stenosis of short or long segments of intracranial arteries.

Multi-Modal Abdominal Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Patients at our institution underwent routine medical imaging scans of the abdomen, including non-contrast CT, dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (CECT), MRCP, unenhanced MRI (routine T1-, and axial and coronal T2-weighted images), DWI with corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI. Examinations were performed using three CT (LightSpeed16, GE, USA; Aquilion ONE, TOSHIBA, Tokyo, Japan; Aquilion PRIME, TOSHIBA, Tokyo, Japan) and four MRI scanners (1.5 T Signa Excite, GE, USA; 1.5 T Optima MR360, GE, USA; 3.0 T Discovery MR750, GE, USA; 3 T MAGNETOM Skyra, Siemens, Munich, Germany).
DCE-MRI was not utilized with children; the optimal CT protocol utilized with children was based on age and weight. Radiation doses were below the weight-specific diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) recommended in Radiation Protection No. 185 [39 (link)].

MR images were acquired using a GE Optima MR360 1.5T (Optima MR360, GE Healthcare, USA) equipped with an eight-channel abdominal coil. Patients fasted for four hours before the scan. Baseline MRI included T1-weighted turbo field-echo in-phase and opposed sequence (T1WI), Fat -suppressed T2-weighted images (Fs-T2WI). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) was obtained by respiratory-triggered single-shot echo with b-values of 0 and 600 s/mm2.
Gadolinium meglumine acid (Gd‐DTPA) with a total dose of 0.1 mmoL/kg was injected into the median cubitus vein at a rate of 2.0 mL/s with a high-pressure syringe washing with 20 mL of normal saline. The arterial phase (AP), portal venous phase (PVP), and delay phase (DP) scans were performed 20–30 s, 50–60 s, and 90–120 s after the injection of Gd‐DTPA, respectively. Detailed scanner and scan parameters can be found in Supplementary Table 1.

MRI scans were acquired using one of four MRI scanners, including two of 3.0-Tesla (Discovery MR750, General Electric Medical Systems, Chicago, IL, USA and Acheiva, Philips Medical Systems, Best, Netherlands) and two of 1.5-Tesla (MAGNETOM Espree, Siemens, Germany and Optima MR360, General Electric Medical Systems, Chicago, IL, USA). Nearly three quarters (73.8%) of the MRI data were acquired with 3.0T. 2D T2-weighted images (T2WI) were used for evaluation, which were acquired with the same resolution as with the T1-weighted images in this dataset. Parameter settings were: TR/TE = 2500–5600/90–110 ms, flip angle = 90° or 140–160°, field of view = 230 × 230 mm, matrix = 180 × 256, slice thickness = 5.0 mm no gap, 24 axial slices to cover the whole brain.
