RESUMO

Objetivos. La precisión cuantitativa en PET requiere una adecuada aplicación de la corrección de atenuación, lo cual representa uno de los mayores retos que aún están por resolver en la técnica PET/RM. El propósito de este estudio es evaluar el efecto de utilizar mapas de atenuación basados en RM y el uso de antenas flexibles sobre la precisión cuantitativa en PET con especial hincapié en grandes arterias. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron datos PET/TC de 8 pacientes oncológicos. Los datos PET fueron reconstruidos utilizando mapas de atenuación con diferente nivel de detalle emulando las distintas aproximaciones utilizadas actualmente por lo equipos PET/RM. Las imágenes PET obtenidas con mapas de atenuación basados en TC y RM fueron comparadas para evaluar las desviaciones cuantitativas obtenidas. El efecto producido por las antenas flexibles fue también estudiado. Resultados. El uso de mapas de atenuación más simplificados da lugar a un incremento en las desviaciones cuantitativas en grasa, tejido blando y hueso. Las desviaciones en pulmón son altas debido a su heterogeneidad y a la variabilidad entre pacientes. La cuantificación en grandes arterias muestra pequeñas desviaciones excepto en el caso de utilizar antenas flexibles. La cuantificación mediante TBR proporciona menores desviaciones al cancelarse las desviaciones medidas en arterias y las venas utilizadas como referencia. Conclusiones. Los mapas de atenuación simplificados que se utilizan en PET/RM producen un incremento significativo de variabilidad cuantitativa especialmente en pulmones y huesos. La cuantificación aplicada al estudio de la aterosclerosis produce pequeñas desviaciones, especialmente cuando se utiliza el TBR (AU)


Objectives. Accuracy on quantitative PET image analysis relies on the correct application of attenuation correction which is one of the major challenges for PET/MRI that remains to be solved. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of MRI-based attenuation maps and the use of flexible coils on the quantitative accuracy of PET images with a special focus on large arteries. Materials and methods. PET/CT data from eight oncologic patients was used. PET data was reconstructed using attenuation maps with different level of detail emulating several approaches available on current PET/MRI scanners. PET images obtained with CT-based and MRI-based attenuation maps were compared to evaluate the quantitative biases obtained. The quantitative effect produced by flexible MRI receiver coils on the attenuation maps was also studied. Results. The use of simpler attenuation maps produced increased biases between PET data reconstructed with CT-based and MRI-based attenuation maps for fat, non-fat soft-tissues and bone. Biases in lung were very high due to the large heterogeneity and inter-patient variability of the lung. The quantification on large arteries had small deviations except for the case when flexible coils were used. The TBR provided smaller biases in all cases as it cancelled out the similar deviations obtained for arteries and reference veins. Conclusions. Simplified attenuation maps used on PET/MRI significantly increase the quantitative variability of PET images especially on lungs and bones. The quantification of PET images acquired with PET/MRI scanners applied to studies of atherosclerosis has small deviations, especially when the TBR is considered (AU)

RESUMO

La clasificación rápida de los pacientes que acuden a urgencias con dolor torácico continúa siendo un desafío médico y una cuestión importante desde el punto de vista económico para los sistemas de salud. Cuando existen cambios en el electrocardiograma (ECG) o elevación de marcadores de necrosis miocárdica, el manejo de los pacientes es relativamente claro. Sin embargo, existe un número considerable de pacientes en los que el ECG y las troponinas son negativas. En estos pacientes las técnicas de imagen no invasivas se han convertido en una herramienta importante para la toma de decisiones. La tomografía cardiaca permite cuantificar la cantidad de calcio coronario y visualizar directamente las arterias coronarias de forma no invasiva de una forma rápida y precisa. La resonancia magnética cardiaca aporta una importante información sobre la significación funcional de la enfermedad coronaria. La utilización de estas técnicas en el manejo de pacientes que acuden a urgencias con dolor torácico agudo podría potencialmente aumentar la eficiencia, reducir ingresos innecesarios y conducir a un diagnóstico más rápido y exacto. El objetivo de esta revisión es discutir la utilidad y limitaciones de la tomografía cardiaca y la resonancia cardiaca en el manejo de pacientes que acuden a urgencias con sospecha de síndrome coronario agudo (AU)


The rapid triage of patients who come to the emergency department with chest pain continues to be a medical challenge, one that has important economic implications for health-care systems. When electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities or elevated markers of myocardial necrosis are found, management is relatively straightforward. However, a considerable number of patients have negative ECGs or troponin tests. Noninvasive imaging techniques have therefore become important tools for decision-making in such cases. Cardiac computed tomography can reveal the degree of coronary calcium deposition present and show coronary arteries noninvasively, rapidly, and accurately. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging provides important information concerning the functional impact of coronary disease. Using these techniques in the management of emergency patients with chest pain can potentially increase efficiency, reduce unnecessary admissions, and provide an accurate diagnosis more quickly. The aim of this review is to discuss the usefulness and limitations of cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging for emergency room treatment of patients who are suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (AU)
