Background: Recent studies showed the possible association between inflammation-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) structural changes followed by greater permeability of the BBB and chronic pain. Thus, measurement of BBB breakdown would be a valuable aid in the diagnosis in migraine. Dynamic contrast material-enhanced (DCE) MRI can determine perfusion and permeability properties related to the BBB. Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between permeability of the BBB in migraine-associated brain regions by using DCE MRI. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, from September 2016 to December 2017, 56 study participants underwent DCE MRI after gadobutrol administration and were classified into migraine (n = 35) and healthy control (n = 21) groups. Automatic volumetric segmentation was performed on the pre-contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images by using FreeSurfer, and migraine-associated brain region masks were extracted by using the software NordicICE. The corresponding maps for pharmacokinetic parameters K-trans (the volume transfer constant) and V-p (the fractional plasma volume) were coregistered with the region-of-interest masks, and their mean values of corresponding total volume of interest were calculated. For comparison analyses, the Mann-Whitney tests were used. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and Spearman rank correlation tests were used to identify correlations between clinical characteristics and the aforementioned perfusion parameters. Results: Mean age was younger in the migraine group (mean +/- standard deviation, 57 years +/- 12) than in the healthy control group (mean, 71 years +/- 8) (P < .001). In the migraine group, the mean value of V-p in the left amygdala (median, 0.27 mL/100 g) was lower than that in the healthy control group (median, 0.39 mL/100 g) (P = .04). The mean value of V-p in the left amygdala was correlated with the intensity of headache attack in participants with migraine (correlation coefficient, -0.34; P = .04). Conclusion: Lower fractional plasma volume in the left amygdala was observed in participants with migraine than in healthy participants. (C) RSNA, 2019
