Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuroimaging data was collected using a whole-body Philips Achieva 3T scanner and a 32-channel head coil (Koninklijke Philips N.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands). Scanning sessions included a T1-weighted structural MRI scan and 6 scans utilizing pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling protocols (pCASL) (Dai, Garcia, deBazelaire, & Alsop, 2008 (link); Wu, Fernández-Seara, Detre, Wehrli, & Wang, 2007 (link)).
Whole brain structural images were acquired using a three-dimensional (3D) T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo (MP-RAGE) sequence with a field-of-view (FOV) of 240 mm, in-plane resolution of 1 mm × 1 mm, 176 contiguous sagittal slices of 1 mm thickness, and TR/TE/flip angle = 7.2 ms/3.2 ms/8°. ASL data were acquired using a two-dimensional (2D) pCASL technique with a field-of-view (FOV) of 230 mm, in-plane resolution of 3.2 mm × 3.2 mm, 20 axial slices of 6 mm thickness, 1-mm interslice gap, and TR/TE/flip angle = 4 s/11 ms/90°. Arterial spin labeling was applied at a plane 30.5 mm inferior to the lowest imaging slice with a labeling time of 1500 ms and a post-labeling delay time of 1800 ms. Structural MRI required 4 min, 34 s. Each of the 6 ASL scans (2 per task condition) required 3 min, 4 s. resulting in 23 pairs of control and tagged images per run (46 per condition).

Structural and functional images were acquired at Diagnoscan, Clinical Center, University of Debrecen, using a Philips Achieva 3 T scanner. The structural 3D T1-weighted turbo field echo (TFE) images were scanned with 3.7 ms echo time (TE), 8 ms repetition time (TR), 8-degree flip angle and 0.5 × 0.5 × 1 mm3 voxel size. The resting-state functional images covered the whole brain, and the field-echo echo-planar imaging (FE_EPI) sequence protocol used 35 ms TE, 2300 ms TR, and a 90-degree flip angle. The in-plane resolution was 1.25 mm × 1.25 mm, and 29 interleaved axial slices were acquired with 4 mm slice thickness, leaving no gaps between slices.

Structural Brain Imaging via 3T MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each patient, a high-resolution T1-weighted anatomical image was acquired on an Achieva 3T scanner (Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) using a three-dimensional fast field echo sequence (sagittal; repetition time = 20 ms, echo time = 4.6 ms, flip angle = 20°, 180 slices with no gap, slice thickness = 1 mm, field of view = 256 × 256 mm2, in-plane resolution = 1 × 1 mm2). The MRI examination was carried out within 24 h of the clinical testing.
The MRI data were segmented, spatially normalized to Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space (voxel size = 1 mm3), modulated to correct for nonlinear warping effects, and smoothed with a 10-mm full width at half maximum Gaussian kernel using the VBM5 toolbox implemented in SPM5 software (www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk). Images were masked to exclude non-gray matter (GM) voxels from the analyses.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging Protocol for 3T MRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Magnetic resonance imaging was performed in a Philips Achieva 3-T scanner with a standard head coil. All participants were asked to remain quiet during scanning. Ear plugs and foam pads were used to minimize noise and head motion. DTI data were acquired using a single-shot spin-echo-planar imaging sequence parallel to the line of the anterior-posterior commissure. The acquisition parameters were as follows: repetition time, 6590 ms; echo time, 70 ms; acquisition matrix, 128 × 128; field of view, 240 mm; slice thickness, 2.5 mm; no gap; and 60 contiguous axial slices. Diffusion-sensitive gradients were applied along 32 noncollinear directions (b = 700 s/mm2), and one additional image was collected without a diffusion gradient (b0 = 0 s/mm2). To enhance the signal-to-noise ratio, image acquisition was repeated two times.

3T MRI Brain Lesion Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Participants underwent 3T brain MRI on a Philips Achieva 3T scanner with an 8-channel SENSE head coil. The scan protocol included 3D T1-weighted gradient echo, 3D T2-weighted turbo spin echo, 3D T2*-weighted gradient echo, and 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) scan (sequence details eTable 1, links.lww.com/WNL/D397). Lacunes (on T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and FLAIR scan) were manually counted, and microbleed counting (on T2*-weighted scans) was supported by semiautomated rating software.16 (link) Ratings were performed by 2 trained raters (HvdB and NAW who had a good interrater reliability of 0.8 or more and resolved discrepancies in a consensus meeting) according to the STRIVE-1 criteria17 (link) (note: the criteria for these particular lesions are the same in the updated STRIVE-2).18 (link) Segmentations of WMH, lacunes, intracranial volume, and total brain volume were acquired as previously published.13 (link)

HERMES experiments were performed using two separate 100 mL spherical phantoms, one containing NAA (10 mM, pH 7.2) and one containing NAAG (10 mM, pH 7.2), on a Philips Achieva 3T scanner (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) using an eight-channel phased-array knee coil for receive. The body coil (B1 = 13.5 μT) was used for transmitting radiofrequency pulses.
Scan parameters were the same as the simulations above, with repetition time (TR) of 2.2 s, TE of 150 ms, chemical shift selective (CHESS) water suppression with a 2.4 × 2.4 × 2.4 cm3 voxel, and 16 averages. Spectra were line-broadened using a 6.5-Hz exponential filter and reconstructed to generate NAA- and NAAG-edited spectra for each phantom (Eq. [1]), including crosstalk reconstructions (the NAAG-edited spectrum for the NAA phantom) and vice versa, were also calculated to estimate the amount of coediting of the unwanted signals. Percentage crosstalk values for both NAA and NAAG were calculated as in the simulations.

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.
