1 Quantitative Comparison of Conventional and Oblique MRI for Detection of Herniated Spinal Discs Doug Dean ENGN 2500: Medical Image Analysis Final Project
2 Outline Introduction to the problem Based on paper: A comparison of angled sagittal MRI and conventional MRI in the diagnosis of herniated disc and stenosis in the cervical foramen Approach to the problem Plan for project
3 Definitions Spinal Foramen: Opening in the spinal column in which nerves enter and exit Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal foramen. Naturally occurs with age, but can be caused by other factors.
4 Definitions (continued) Spinal Disc Herniation: Tear in the outer, fibrous ring of a spinal disc, causing central portion to bulge out. Symptoms range from little/no pain to severe pain (affects nerve roots)
5 The Problem Difficult to identify herniated discs and spinal stenosis using conventional (2D) MRI techniques These conventional methods result in patients condition being misdiagnosed. Conventional MRI : Images acquired along one of three anatomical planes
6 Axial, T2-weighted Image: Cervical Foramen is directed at 45 degrees with respect to coronal plane. 3D recontructive CT Image shows that the cervical foramina are directed downward around degrees with respect to axial plane
7 Oblique or Angled MRI Humphreys, et al.: Oblique MR imaging provides valueable information about the cervical foramen not available from conventional MR imaging techniques Edelman, et al reported that oblique planes are clinically useful in studying organs with axis of symmetry that is different than the coordinate system of the MR system. Oblique sections can improve the MR image quality and diagnostic value
8 Methods Images were acquired with 1.5T superconducting system on 53 patients (20 men) ranging in age from 31 to 64 years Conventional MRI: Sagittal T1 weighted and T2 weighted images Angled Sagittal MRI: Images were taken in degree sagittal projections. These images were oriented perpendicular to the true course of the neural foramen Two tests were evaluated by two independent radiologists. When positive data existed, surgical exploration was performed. Interpretations from the MR images (both sets, conventional and oblique) were compared with the results from surgery (positive or negative findings)
9 Orientation of Images Conventional MRI: Sagittal Protocol Oblique MRI: Sagittal Protocol
10 Results Discrepancy between conventional MRI and angled sagittal MRI for foraminal herniated disc occurred at 18 levels Conventional methods were incorrect at 16 levels while angled sagittal methods were incorrect in 2 levels Comparison of findings of conventional and angled sagittal MRI with the operative findings was made and the results were classified. Angled Sagittal MRI: Diagnosis of foraminal herniated disc, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 96.7%, 95.0% and 96.0% compared with 56.7%, 85.0% and 68.0% with conventional approaches Angled Sagittal MRI proved to be a more accurate, sensitive and specific test compared to conventional MRI
11 Project Compare Conventional and Oblique MRI techniques for detection of spinal discs and problems associated with the spinal discs (stenosis, herniation) Conventional MRI Protocol: T1 and T2 weighted sagittal images of the spine Oblique MRI Protocol: T1 and T2 weighted sagittal images that are oriented perpendicular with the neural foramen Also, include 3D volume acquisition, in which any orientation can be made. Compare whether direction perpendicular to the neural foramen is truly the best or maybe a different angle is preferable. This data will be collected at Brownʼs MRF on a 3T superconducting system using a few volunteers that have been/ will be recruited and screened.
12 Project (continued) Data will be used for segmentation and detection of herniation of the discs In order to compare segmentation technique, gold standard is needed. Therefore, images will be contoured by hand. Also, will compare the signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR) with the different techniques to see which method gives the best results.
13 Timeline Week 1 (4/11-4/16) Work on developing MR imaging protocols and sequences Recruit volunteers (~4-5 volunteers) Week 2 (4/17-4/23) Continue developing imaging sequences and begin data acquisition at the MRI facility Will be assisted by Dr. Deoni Week 3&4 (4/24-5/7) Continue data acquisition if needed (early in the week) Analysis of Images: Hand contours of ROI s and comparison of MRI protocols Mid Project Presentation: Describe the imaging protocols, present data that had been acquired from previous week, describe what still needs to be done. Week 5&6 (5/8-5/16) Continue analysis of MRI protocols. Determine which technique is best for detection of cervical foramina. Base these conclusions on the SNR and CNR measurements as well as the segmentation Final Project Presentation
