RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of T1-weighted 3D fast spin-echo sequence (CUBE) with deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) for depiction of pituitary adenoma and parasellar regions on contrast-enhanced MRI. METHODS: We evaluated 24 patients with pituitary adenoma or residual tumor using CUBE with and without DLR, 1-mm slice thickness 2D T1WI (1-mm 2D T1WI) with DLR, and 3D spoiled gradient echo sequence (SPGR) as contrast-enhanced MRI. Depiction scores of pituitary adenoma and parasellar regions were assigned by two neuroradiologists, and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) was calculated. RESULTS: CUBE with DLR showed significantly higher scores for depicting pituitary adenoma or residual tumor compared to CUBE without DLR, 1-mm 2D T1WI with DLR, and SPGR (p < 0.01). The depiction score for delineation of the boundary between adenoma and the cavernous sinus was higher for CUBE with DLR than for 1-mm 2D T1WI with DLR (p = 0.01), but the difference was not significant when compared to SPGR (p = 0.20). CUBE with DLR had better interobserver agreement for evaluating adenomas than 1-mm 2D T1WI with DLR (Kappa values, 0.75 vs. 0.41). The CNR of the adenoma to the brain parenchyma increased to a ratio of 3.6 (obtained by dividing 13.7, CNR of CUBE with DLR, by 3.8, that without DLR, p < 0.01). CUBE with DLR had a significantly higher CNR than SPGR, but not 1-mm 2D T1WI with DLR. CONCLUSION: On the contrast-enhanced MRI, compared to CUBE without DLR, 1-mm 2D T1WI with DLR and SPGR, CUBE with DLR improves the depiction of pituitary adenoma and parasellar regions.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Synthetic magnetic resonance imaging (SyMRI) enables to reformat various images by adjusting the MR parameters. PURPOSE: To investigate whether customization of the repetition time (TR), echo time (TE), and inversion time (TI) in SyMRI could improve the visualization of subthalamic nucleus (STN). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined five healthy volunteers using both coronal SyMRI and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), seven patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) using coronal SyMRI, and 15 patients with PD using coronal QSM. Two neuroradiologists reformatted SyMRI (optimized SyMRI) by adjusting TR, TE, and TI to achieve maximum tissue contrast between the STN and the adjacent brain parenchyma. The optimized MR parameters in the PD patients varied according to the individual. For regular SyMRI (T2-weighted imaging [T2WI] and STIR), optimized SyMRI, and QSM, qualitative visualization scores of the STN (STN score) were recorded. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the STN was also measured. RESULTS: For the STN scores in both groups, the optimized SyMRI were significantly higher than the regular SyMRI (P < 0.05), and there were no significant differences between optimized SyMRI and QSM. For the CNR of differentiation of the STN from the substantia nigra, the optimized SyMRI was higher than the regular SyMRI (volunteer: T2WI P = 0.10 and STIR P = 0.26; PD patient: T2WI P = 0.43 and STIR P = 0.25), but the optimized SyMRI was lower than the QSM (volunteer: P = 0.26; PD patient: P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: On SyMRI, optimization of MR parameters (TR, TE, and TI) on an individual basis may be useful to increase the conspicuity of the STN.
