Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Preterm and Term Neonates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Each MRI of preterm and term neonates was acquired with a 3T Philips Achieva MR system (Cleveland) at Children's Medical Center at Dallas with an 8-channel SENSE head coil. The neonates were fed before the MRI scan and wrapped with a vacuum immobilizer to minimize motion. Extra foam padding was applied to reduce the sound of the scanner in addition to the earplugs and the earphones. The DTI imaging parameters were as follows: b-value = 1,000 s/mm2, 30 linearly independent diffusion encoding directions (Jones et al., 1999 (link)), one non-diffusion weighted (b0) image, TE = 78 ms, TR = 6,850 ms, in-plane FOV = 168 × 168 mm2, in-plane imaging resolution = 1.5 × 1.5 mm2, slice thickness = 1.6 mm, and number of slices = 60. The axial DWI image dimension was 256 × 256 after reconstruction. Two repetitions were performed to improve SNR. The total acquisition time was 11 min. DWI volumes that were corrupted due to artifacts or motion were replaced with another DTI repetition during postprocessing.

Probabilistic Atlas of Digit Somatotopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Functional MRI data were pooled from four studies (Barratt, 2018 ; Granga Espiritu Santo, 2018 ; Sanchez Panchuelo et al., 2016 , Sanchez Panchuelo et al., 2018 (link)) collected between 2015 and 2018 on the same 7 ​T Achieva MR system (Philips Healthcare; Best, Netherlands) using a head volume transmit coil and a 32-channel receive coil (Nova Medical: Wilmington, MA). Experimental procedures for all studies were approved by the University of Nottingham Medical School’s Ethics Committee. All subjects gave written informed consent and subjects had no history of neurological disorders.
To generate the digit probabilistic atlas, only those subjects who had completed somatotopic mapping of both the left and right hand were included. This resulted in the inclusion of data from 22 right handed healthy human subjects (equal biological sex distribution, age 29 ​± ​9 years). In order to assess reproducibility of the somatotopic maps, four of these twenty-two subjects subsequently participated in an additional scan session to generate a second digit somatotopic map for both the left and right hand.

Cardiac MRI Assessment of Ventricular Volumes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CMR scanning was performed with the use of a 3 Tesla Philips Achieva MR system (Philips Healthcare) as described earlier in the literature [16 (link)]. In particular, cine steady state free precession (SSFP), dark blood T2-weighted, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images were acquired. Images were acquired within one month of the patient’s first visit. All CMR studies were analyzed offline using a dedicated software. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses were performed by an expert investigator blinded to clinical and ECG data. The following parameters were measured: left ventricular end diastolic volume, left ventricular end systolic volume, right ventricular end diastolic volume, and right ventricular end systolic volume, all of which were indexed to the body surface area. Left and right ventricular ejection fraction were also assessed.

All scans were acquired with a 3-Tesla Philips Achieva MR System using a 32-channel SENSE head coil, software 3.2.2 (Philips Medical Systems) and dual Quasar gradients (80mT/m at a slew rate of 110mT/m/s or 40mT/m at a slew rate of 220mT/m/s).

A dynamically interleaved 2D/3D dual-sequence scheme was implemented in a dedicated acquisition framework [28 (link)]. All images were acquired on a 1.5 T Philips Achieva MR system (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) using a 5-element cardiac receive coil array. Interleaved acquisitions consisted of electrocardiogram (ECG) triggered saturation-recovery spoiled gradient echo sequences using spatiotemporal k-t undersampling. Gadobutrol (Gadovist, Bayer Schering Pharma, Germany) was used as contrast agent (CA).

This study was approved by the Medical Research Ethics Committee of University Medical Center Utrecht, and all of the volunteers gave informed consent. All experiments were done according to the guidelines and regulations of the Wet Medisch Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek. Three subjects were scanned on a 7T Achieva MR system (Philips, Best, Netherlands) using a quadrature transmit coil with a 32‐channel receive head coil (NOVA Medical, Houston, Texas, USA).

Multimodal Breast Imaging Comparison

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DBT and FFDM (two-view: craniocaudal and mediolateral oblique) were performed using the same mammography unit (Selenia Dimensions, Hologic) for both breasts in each patient. DBT and FFDM images of each breast were acquired sequentially during single breast compression per view. An automated exposure control was used. The average glandular dose was automatically calculated using the imaging system.
MRI was performed using a 1.5T or 3T Philips Achieva MR system (Philips Medical Systems) with a dedicated bilateral phased-array breast coil and the patient in the prone position. MRI examination consisted of turbo spin-echo T1- and T2-weighted sequences and a three-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced sequence (Supplementary Methods). A 0.1-mmol/kg bolus of gadobutrol (Gadovist; Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceutical) was injected, followed by a 20 mL saline flush. Images were acquired 60, 120, 180, 240, 300, and 360 seconds after the contrast injection. After image acquisition, subtraction images (pre-contrast images subtracted from the early post-contrast images) were obtained automatically on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The scan duration ranged from 25 to 27 minutes. Time intervals between mammography with DBT and MRI ranged from 0 to 30 days (mean, 4.7 days).

Neonatal Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All neonates were well fed before scanning and kept asleep during scan. Besides earplugs and earphones, extra foam padding was applied to reduce the sound of the scan while the neonates were asleep. DTI was acquired from 3T Philips Achieva MR system at Children’s Medical Center. The dMRI imaging parameters were: TE=78ms, TR=6850ms, in-plane field of view = 168×168mm2 mm2, in-plane imaging resolution=1.5×1.5mm2, slice thickness=1.6mm, slice number=60, 30 independent diffusion-weighted directions6 (link) uniformly distributed in space, b-value = 1000 sec/mm2, repetition=2. The axial dMRI image dimension was 256×256 after reconstruction. For dMRI, the total acquisition time was 11 minutes. With 30 DWI volumes and 2 repetitions, we accepted those scanned dMRI datasets with less than 5 DWI volumes affected by motion more commonly seen in scanning of neonates and toddlers. The affected DWI volumes were replaced by the good DWI volumes of another DTI repetition during postprocessing.

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.
