Reproducibility Study of 13C MRI Metabolic Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reproducibility study was performed on a Siemens Biograph mMR 3T system (Siemens
Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany), using a custom-designed 13C clamshell
transmit and dual tuned 1H/13C endorectal, receive-only coil
(RAPID Biomedical GmbH, Rimpar, Germany), alongside a MEDRAD Spectris Solaris EP MR
injection system (MEDRAD, Pennsylvania). All chemicals used in this study were
sourced from Merck (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany); Merck Life Science UK Limited):
L-LDH from rabbit muscle (SKU 10127876001), 5 ml; β-nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide(NADH), reduced disodium salt hydrate (SKU N8129), 1 g; phosphate
buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, (SKU 806544), 1 L.
Data processing was performed using MATLAB (Mathworks, Massachusetts). Each
metabolite signal time course was normalised to its maximum pyruvate signal,
allowing for different data sets (n = 8) to be compared.
Quantification of the time courses was performed using some previously described methods.9 (link)
These are further explained in the Supplementary Material 1 (Figure S2).

MRI was performed on 1.5 Tesla Magnetom Avanto magnetic resonance scanners (Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA, USA). Standard sequences included axial T1-weighted in- and out-of-phase images, fat-suppressed axial T2-weighted images (HASTE: Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA, USA), coronal T2-weighted images (HASTE), and fat-suppressed axial T1 Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE; Siemens Medical Solutions, Malvern, PA, USA) pre- and post-contrast images with a 320 x 168 matrix, 3 mm slice thickness, NEX=1, TR=4.61 ms, TE=2.18 ms. Dynamic post-contrast images were obtained in arterial, portal venous, and 5 minute delayed phases using sample bolus triggering method. The timing of arterial phase for dynamic post-contrast images was determined based on aortic peak sample bolus timing (18-20 seconds). A 15 mL gadolinium contrast bolus (gadobenate dimeglumine, Multihance®, Bracco Diagnostics Inc., Monroe Township, NJ, USA) and 20 mL saline flush was administered via power injection (Spectris Solaris EP MR Injection System, Medrad, Warrendale, PA, USA).

Whole-Body PET/MRI Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-body PET/MRI examinations were performed on a Magnetom Biograph mMR (Siemens Healthcare Sector, Erlangen, Germany), using lutetium oxyorthosilicate-based avalanche photodiodes (APD) for PET-acquisition. PET/MRI scans were obtained with an average delay of 102±39 min after 18F-FDG injection and a mean activity of 201±69 MBq. Whole body PET scans, covering the body from skull-base to mid-thighs, were performed with 5 to 6 bed positions and an acquisition time of 8 minutes each. PET images were reconstructed using the iterative algorithm OSEM, 3 iterations and 21 subsets, Gaussian filter with 4 mm full width at half maximum (FWHM) and a 344×344 image matrix. PET data were automatically attenuation corrected using a four-compartment-model attenuation map (µ-map) calculated from fat-only and water-only as obtained from Dixon-based sequences. Simultaneous whole-body MR imaging was performed with a dedicated mMR head and neck coil and phased-array body surface coils. The overall examination time of the PET/MR protocol for whole-body staging amounted to 35±5 min., encompassing the following sequences:
For contrast-enhanced imaging, 0.1 mmol/kg Gadobutrol (Gadovist, Bayer HealthCare, Germany), followed by a saline flush of 20 ml, was injected intravenously at 2 ml/s using an automated injector (Spectris solaris EP MR Injection System, Medrad, Germany).

Multi-Modal Neuroimaging of Dopamine Receptor Function

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Participants completed a simultaneous PET-MR scan on a Siemens Biograph mMR scanner at the UNC Biomedical Research Imaging Center using a bolus+infusion protocol with a planned K bol of 105min [42] . PET acquisition took place for 63min. Approximately 1min after the PET scan began, a bolus injection of [ 11 C]raclopride was administered after which the infusion injection of [ 11 C]raclopride was administered using a Medrad® Spectris Solaris® EP MR Injection System (radioactivity was limited to 15mCi in total over the bolus and infusion and mass dose did not exceed 10µg (with a specific radioactivity at the bolus time of injection > 0.4 Ci/µmol)). A 6min structural T1-based MR sequence was obtained (FOV=256 mm, 1ൈ1ൈ1 mm resolution, TR=2530ms, TE=1.69ms, flip angle=7 degrees) for anatomical localization, spatial normalization of imaging data, and generation of attenuation correction maps [43] , in addition to localizer and attenuation correction scans. Then, two resting-state scans were obtained (echo planar imaging, FOV=212 mm, 3.312ൈ3.312ൈ3.3 mm resolution, TR=3000, TE=30ms, flip angle=90 degrees). Next, three task blocks were presented during which fMRI data were collected simultaneously to the ongoing PET acquisition. See Figure 1 for timing of data collection, data modelling, and participant behavior.

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.
