1 Musculoskeletal MRI Technical Considerations Garry E. Gold, M.D. Professor of Radiology, Bioengineering and Orthopaedic Surgery Stanford University
2 Outline Joint Structure Image Contrast Protocols: 3.0T
3 Take-Home Points RF Coil is key - for any MSK imaging Consider 512 freq. matrix Use IR, but selectively Sequences and Imaging Planes Complementary
4 Outline Joint Structure Image Contrast Protocols: 3.0T
5 Knee Tissues Bone: cortical, cancellous Marrow: fatty (yellow) hematopoietic (red) Muscles Tendons and ligaments Cartilage: articular vs. fibrocartilage Joint fluid
6 Outline Joint Structure Image Contrast Protocols: 3.0T
7 Image Contrast Concepts Pulse Sequences Fat Suppression
8 Image Contrast Concepts Pulse Sequences Fat Suppression
9 Contrast - Concepts Sequences determine image contrast based on proton density and relaxation times
10 Contrast Mechanisms Proton Density T2 Contrast T1 Contrast Fat Suppression Mixed or T2/T1 contrast
11 T 2 Contrast Short Echo-Time (PD) Long Echo-Time (T2) Signal Joint Fluid Cartilage/Muscle Time Long TR avoids T 1 contrast
12 Proton Density Fluid: higher signal relative to cartilage
13 PD PD + Fat Sat
14 T 2 Fluid: very high signal relative to cartilage Dx?
15 T 1 Contrast Short TR Long TR Signal Signal Cartilage/Muscle Time Short TE avoids T 2 contrast Joint Fluid Time
16 T 1 Spin Echo Fluid: low signal relative to cartilage
17 Image Contrast Concepts Pulse Sequences Fat Suppression
18 Image Contrast Pulse Sequences Spin Echo Fast/Turbo Spin Echo Inversion Recovery (fast) Gradient Echo Special Purpose: 3D-FSE, T2-mapping
19 Spin Echo T 1 weighting Short TR, short TE 1.5T: TR ms 3.0T: TR ms Longer TR: More slices and better SNR
20 Fast/Turbo Spin Echo TE ~ sufficient for T 2 W Need less slice gap then SE Blurring on PD weighted images Longer TE, shorter ETL decreases blurring Increasing receiver bandwidth decreases blurring Never need conventional PD, T2 T1 FSE possible with short ETL, high BW
21 Image Space K-Space
22 PD FSE/TSE - T2 Blurring PD FSE GRE
23 FSE/TSE - Echo Train Length To avoid significant blurring artifact PD Images: ETL 4-6 T2W Images: ETL 8-12 * depends on receiver bandwidth
24 Special Sequences 3D FSE (SPACE, CUBE, VISTA) Fast spin echo PD and T2 contrast 3D imaging, little blurring T2 Mapping Cartilage collagen breakdown Muscle after exercise
25 2D vs 3D Slab Imaging 2D Multislice 3D Slab Shorter scan times Efficient when TR is long and all slices can be interleaved Averaging helps SNR Continuous coverage Better for image reformat
26 3D-FSE Knee at 3.0T mm ( ) in 8 minutes Coronal Acquisition Sagittal Reformat Axial Reformat
27 3D-FSE: Coronal Source 3.0T isotropic resolution of 0.6 mm
28 3D-FSE: Sagittal Reformat 3.0T isotropic resolution of 0.6 mm
29 T 2 Mapping Increased T 2 relaxation time is a marker for decreased collagen organization in cartilage Signal TE = 20 TE = 40 TE = 60 Color T2 Map TE = 80 Echo Time (ms) Dardzinski BJ, et al. Radiology, 205: , 1997.
30 3.0T Knee Cartilage MRI Protocol PD-FSE 3D-FSE-Cube 3D MERGE Coil and cartilage thickness help determine MRI parameters T2 Map
31 Image Contrast Concepts Pulse Sequences Fat Suppression
32 Fat Suppression Why fat suppression is important: Contrast Dynamic range Chemical shift Methods: Frequency selective chemsat Inversion recovery Fat/Water separation or IDEAL
33 Fat Suppression for Contrast PD FSE Fat-Sat PD FSE Coronal Wrist Coronal Wrist Radial cyst was otherwise iso-intense with fat
34 Fat Suppression for Dynamic Range SPGR: TR 50, TE 7, 40 Flip, 2.5 mm
35 Chemical Shift Artifact Bone-marrow can obscure cartilage due to chemical shift BW + 16 BW khz
36 Fat Sat: Sensitive to B 0 Inhomogeneity water fat ω
37 Failure of Fat Saturation
38 Inversion Recovery (STIR) TI ms (1.5 T) 100 ms (0.5 T) Better for inhomogeneous field Air-tissue interfaces Metal artifact decreased Lower SNR than FSE Medium TE, ~ 50 works well
39 Fat sat IR Fat sat IR
40 IDEAL Fat/Water Separation Source Images F W F W Least Squares Estimation Water F W Fat 3x Scan Time = 5 minutes SNR efficiency is preserved Post-processing can correct large field inhomogeneities (Reeder 2003, 2004)
41 IDEAL FSE Water Fat + Water Combined Reeder, Pelc et al., 2003 Fat
42 Take-Home Point IDEAL results in the best image quality Use IR, but selectively (if you have the choice) consider shorter TE (~35-50 ms)
43 Outline Joint Structure Image Contrast Protocols: 3.0T
44 Protocol Principles: 3.0T Reduce slice thickness Keep TR long on PD, T2 ( ms) Frequency matrix 512 Multi-channel, parallel capable coils Increase bandwidth on non-fat suppressed images Short echo train on T1w FSE (2-3) Balance echoes around TE for FSE
