Improved MR temperature imaging at 0.5 T using view-sharing accelerated multiecho thermometry for MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy

Ziyi Pan, Simin Liu, Jianxiong Hu, Hai Luo, Meng Han, Hao Sun, Wenbo Liu, Ziyue Wu, Hua Guo

Summary: The purpose of this study was to improve the precision of temperature monitoring in MR-guided laser interstitial thermal therapy (MRgLITT) on a 0.5-T low-field MR system. The low field causes reduced image signal-to-noise ratio, decreased temperature-induced phase changes, and limited RF receiver channels, leading to reduced precision and speed of temperature measurement. The study applied a multiecho proton resonance frequency shift-based thermometry with view-sharing acceleration to improve temperature precision and utilized ex vivo and in vivo experiments to evaluate the method. The results showed that the multiecho thermometry provided higher temperature precision after echo combination, and the view-sharing approach with variable-density subsampling reduced temperature errors compared to the GRAPPA method.

MRI-based fat quantification of the liver: Is it time for commercially available products?

Sebastian Hupfeld, Dennis Pischel, Doerthe Jechorek, Andrea Janicova, Maciej Pech, Frank Fischbach

Summary: The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical applicability of commercially available solutions for MR-based quantification of hepatic fat fraction and to compare their results with clinically established imaging methods. The findings showed that IP/OP imaging had a strong correlation with fAH, while multi-gradient echo imaging and multi-echo spectroscopy quantifications were insensitive to increased LIC. Both postprocessing solutions need improvement in segmentation quality and workflow, but all solutions are capable of bringing MRI-based hepatic fat quantification into clinical application.

Accelerated k-space shift calibration for free-breathing stack-of-radial MRI quantification of liver fat and R2*

Xiaodong Zhong, Tess Armstrong, Chang Gao, Marcel D. Nickel, Fei Han, Brian M. Dale, Xinzhou Li, Sevgi G. Kafali, Peng Hu, Holden H. Wu, Vibhas Deshpande

Summary: An accelerated k-space shift calibration method was developed for free-breathing 3D stack-of-radial MRI quantification of liver proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2*, showing substantial acceleration feasibility in both through-plane and in-plane directions. Compared to baseline calibration without acceleration, Bayesian analysis revealed no significant differences in biases and uncertainties of PDFF and R2* measurements with all acceleration methods, except for one specific method in the phantom study. The proposed method achieved a six-fold reduction in equivalent calibration acquisition time for in vivo protocols.

Clinical Significance of Liver MR Imaging

Shintaro Ichikawa, Satoshi Goshima

Summary: MRI is widely used in clinical practice for detecting and characterizing liver diseases, with gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI being the most effective modality for this purpose. It has high diagnostic accuracy for small hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. Despite its drawbacks, gadoxetic acid is preferred for routine liver MRIs due to its clinical utility. Liver MRI can also be used for quantitative assessment of liver fibrosis, hepatic steatosis, and iron overload, with high accuracy and reproducibility. This article reviews the usefulness of liver MRI as a comprehensive imaging modality in clinical practice.
