This book was released on 2013 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phase-contrast (PC) MRI is a non-invasive technique to assess cardiovascular blood flow. However, this technique is not accurate in the case of atherosclerotic disease and vascular and valvular stenosis due to intravoxel dephasing secondary to disturbed blood flow, flow recirculation, and turbulence distal to the narrowing, resulting in flow-related artifacts. Previous studies have shown that reducing the echo time (TE) decreases the errors associated with phase incoherence due to random motions as observed in unsteady and turbulent flows. As part of this dissertation, a novel 3-D cine Ultra-Short (UTE)-PC imaging method has been developed, and implemented to measure the blood velocity using a UTE center-out radial k-space trajectory with short TE time compared to standard PC MRI sequences. 3D UTE characterizes flow in one direction in a 3D volume, resulting in a single component of the flow velocities. In order to obtain a comprehensive flow assessment in three directions, the 3D UTE sequence needs to be repeated three times, which can be inefficient and time consuming. 4-D flow MRI has been recently used for quantitative flow assessment and visualization of complex flow patterns resulting in more anatomical information and comprehensive assessment of blood flow. With 4D flow MRI method, all the flow information in three direction in a 3D volume though the time can be achieved as part of a single scan. In this dissertation, a novel 4D UTE flow MRI technique has also been designed and implemented which is capable of deriving the three orthogonal components of the velocity field in the flow in a single scan, while achieving very short echo times. In flow phantom studies, comprehensive investigation of several different flow rates revealed significant improvement in flow quantification and reduction of flow artifacts when compared to conventional 4D flow. Furthermore, a reduced TE 4D Spiral flow MRI method has also been implemented which reduces scan times when compared to conventional 4D flow MRI (as well as 4D UTE flow). Despite reduction of scan time as well as TE relative to conventional 4D flow, the achieved TE with the 4D spiral technique is indeed longer than 4D UTE flow. In order to assess clinical feasibility and in order to perform further validation of 4D UTE flow, in an IRB-approved study, twelve aortic stenosis (AS) patients underwent Doppler Ultrasound, conventional 4D flow, and 4D UTE flow scans for a 3 way comparison. 4D UTE flow displayed good correlation with Doppler Ultrasound in patients with moderately severe aortic stenosis, though with the added benefit of not having confounding factors encountered in Doppler Ultrasound (e.g., angle dependence, 2D measurement, and difficulty in locating a proper acoustic window). The proposed 4D UTE flow permits 4D visualization of flow and true 3D measurement of all flow quantities, not possible with Doppler. Further investigations will be required to test the technique in patients with severe or critical aortic stenosis wherein conventional 4D flow will be less accurate due to intravoxel dephasing and spin incoherence.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4D-flow velocity mapping is a technique in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantify blood flow velocity in 3D space and over time. To increase accuracy, novel sequences have been developed to overcome its technical limitations, including the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), low velocity-to-noise ratio (VNR), background velocity fluctuations due to concomitant fields, and flow-related intra-voxel dephasing. However, for a long time, this field was almost untouched in preclinical imaging until Krämer et al. (2017) developed the self-gated ultra-short-echo 4D-flow (UTE-4D-flow) technique. Although UTE-4D-flow showed superior SNR and VNR compared to the conventional prospectively-gated Cartesian-4D-flow method, its total scan time was too long to be applied in routine practice, especially in bigger animals than mice. To shorten the total scan time and preserve SNR and VNR, we combined the concepts of UTE-4D-flow and Cartesian-4D-flow techniques, which resulted in a Stack-of-Stars 4D-flow (SoS-4D-flow) sequence. The in-vitro evaluations of the sequence proved that it benefited from an improved SNR, VNR, and background velocity bias compared to the Cartesian counterpart. Thereafter, we applied the sequence on rats by integrating it into a prospective-gating system. The initial results prompted us to quantify the pulmonary and vena-cava venous blood flow in addition to arterial hemodynamics. The later study resulted in a novel diagnostic marker - “the pulmonary arteriovenous pressure gradient” - to diagnose pulmonary arterial hypertension non-invasively by MRI. Finally, by refining the sequence and replacing the prospective-gating system with a retrospective k0-navigator and compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction, we could shorten the scan time to almost half the measurement time in the UTE-4D-flow sequence. Finally, we tested the sequence on phantoms and mice, and could confirm the expected advantages which the previous study on rats revealed.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 4D flow Phase Contrast MRI is a relatively new technique in MRI which is capable of deriving time-resolved three-dimensional velocity fields in a 3D volume noninvasively. 4D flow imaging is a 3D k-space acquisition where for the third dimension, an additional phase-encoding step is required. The velocity field can then be used to obtain flow waveform, wall shear stress, vascular compliance, blood pressure, and other hemodynamic information. A significant limitation of 4D flow methods has been the requisite long scan times, requiring the patient to remain motionless at times on the order of 10-20 minutes, depending on scan parameters. The scan times may become more prohibitive in case of 4D cardiovascular studies where respiratory gating with navigator echoes is required. In this thesis the feasibility of using a reduced TE stack of spirals k-space acquisition for 4D flow imaging are investigated. Starting with fundamentals of MRI, the basics of Phase contrast and 4D flow MRI are thoroughly discussed in Chapter 1-3 and subsequently experimental phantom results are reported in Chapter 4, pointing to the feasibility of performing highly accurate 4D velocity and flow measurement with the proposed pulse sequence under a variety of flow conditions and with substantial reductions in scan time when compared to conventional 4D flow. In phantom studies, results based on the root mean square error criterion indicate that 4D Reduced TE (RTE) Spiral PC MRI is capable of providing the same level of accuracy as conventional 4D conventional PC MRI but in a much shorter scan time (30% reduction in scan time when imaging an FOV of 100*100*60 mm3 and spatial resolution of 1.5*1.5*3 mm3). Moreover, the proposed method has the added advantage of achieving the shorter echo time of 2 ms versus 3.6 ms for conventional 4D flow at Q=50ml/s and 1.57 ms versus 3.2 ms at the higher flow rate of Q=150 ml/s leading to more accurate assessment of flow distal to narrowings. Statistical results indicate that at low flow rates performance of both methods are similar. At higher flow rates, however, 4D RTE spiral flow achieves better accuracy. Qualitative results in phantom studies also revealed that at higher flow rates, better flow visualization was achieved with4D RTE spiral flow compared with conventional 4D flow. In the second part of Chapter 4, we also report on application of the proposed sequence, in-vivo, to 5 healthy volunteers and 5 subjects with mild to moderate Aortic Stenosis (AS) disease. Results from the proposed method were statistically correlated with velocity profiles derived from conventional 4D flow and Doppler Ultrasound. Results indicate that 4D RTE Spiral is capable of providing the same level of accuracy in flow measurement as Conventional 4D flow MRI for imaging of the aortic valve, but on average resulted in a 30% reduction in scan time and 45% reduction in echo time. 4D RTE Spiral was also able to achieve an echo time of 1.68 ms versus 2.9 ms for that of conventional 4D flow MRI, permitting less signal dephasing in the presence of jet flows distal to occlusions. With Doppler Ultrasound adopted as the reference method, 4D RTE Spiral flow measured peak velocity and maximum pressure gradient with a higher level of accuracy when compared to Conventional 4D flow MRI. Both methods measured left-ventricular out flow tract (LVOT) diameter, Aortic Valve (AV) eject time and time to AV peak with same accuracy. It is concluded that 4D RTE Spiral flow MRI is an excellent technique for flow measurement in cardiac patients who are unable to tolerate longer scan times, currently required by conventional 4D flow methods.

Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging modality with the ability to acquire images sensitized to several different contrast mechanisms. One of the many mechanisms that can generate contrast in MR images is blood flow. "4D flow MRI", a method for quantifying time-resolved velocity fields in 3-dimensional regions, is employed in the context of comprehensive flow assessment within the heart and major blood vessels but requires long acquisition and post-processing times. The aims of the work presented in this dissertation are to accelerate the acquisition and processing of cardiac 4D flow MRI images, and to apply 4D flow MRI to quantify intracardiac hemodynamics in two disease population: survivors of myocardial infarction and young adults born very-to-extremely premature. This work is divided into six research chapters. The technical innovations introduced and evaluated in my work (Chapters 2-4) relate to the validation of accelerated 4D flow acquisitions and the development of fast, automated pipelines for 4D flow image analysis. In Chapter 2, I describe the construction of a model of the left ventricle of the heart and use it to compare acceleration acquisition techniques for 4D flow MRI. Using an optical imaging-based reference standard, I show lower error in velocity estimations at short scan times for one technique over the other, supporting the use of this technique in scan-time-limited scenarios and demonstrating a generalizable workflow for head-to-head comparison of image acquisition or reconstruction techniques which can be adopted in other applications in order to minimize acquisition time. In Chapters 3 and 4, I use deep learning to automate image processing tasks for quantitative flow assessment in 4D flow MRI of the chest. In particular, I automate the segmentation of the myocardial ventricles (Chapter 3), necessary for the measurement of ventricular kinetic energy or the analysis of ventricular flow components, and the placement of measurement planes (Chapter 4), necessary for the measurement of flow and peak velocity in the great vessels of the heart. Both methods are thoroughly evaluated, finding similar performance to manual segmentation/plane placement. This enables 4D flow MR images of the chest to be processed in an automated fashion, vastly reducing the processing time required for users of 4D flow MRI and enabling large and longitudinal studies without biases between observers. The applications of cardiac 4D flow MRI explored in my work are myocardial infarction (Chapter 5) and cardiac development after preterm birth (Chapters 6-7). In Chapter 5, I apply cardiac 4D flow MRI to study hemodynamics in the left ventricle after acute myocardial infarction. 4D flow data is compared region-by-region between myocardial infarction patients and controls, finding reduced flow in several left ventricular regions in patients relative to controls, perhaps providing indications of risk of post-infarction sequelae. In Chapters 6 and 7, I apply cardiac 4D flow MRI to study intracardiac hemodynamics in another at-risk population: young adults born very-to-extremely premature. I first compare intraventricular flow in young adults born premature to those born at term (Chapter 6), finding decreased right ventricular early-to-late diastolic kinetic energy ratios and increased viscous energy dissipation in preterm subjects relative to term subjects, suggesting altered right ventricular filling which may be relevant to the elevated early heart failure risk in this population. I then use acute pharmacological interventions to assess the effects of hemodynamic manipulations on cardiac hemodynamics measured by 4D flow MRI in young adults born premature (Chapter 7). Acute pharmacological reduction of pulmonary blood pressure increases cardiac function, suggesting that pulmonary hypertension may play a role in this group's heart failure risk. Recommendations for future work include assembling large multicenter databases aimed at using 4D flow to predict cardiovascular outcomes in the general population, a longitudinal 4D flow study of the developing preterm heart throughout childhood, and a prospective 4D flow study to predict post-myocardial infarction thrombus formation.
