2 Body Diffusion Diffusion Sequence Card Parameters Basic Ideas (2) DW images (b-value images) Reflect the estimate of the water diffusion rate at that pixel The greater the b-value, the stronger the diffusion weighting, and the higher the contrast (hyperintense) in pathogenic regions (reduced diffusion) Primary application for early detection of cerebral ischemic stroke, more sensitive to early changes after a stroke than T1 or T2 weighted images* b = 0, not DW (T2 weighted image) b = 500 s/mm 2 b = 1000 s/mm 2 * S. Warach et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 16 (1996) Diffusion Encoding Schemes and Sequence Designs Basic Ideas (3) RF ADC Gdiff Gr Gp Bipolar diffusion encoding scheme. Benefits: better eddy current compensation => less spatial distortions better for WB-DWI Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) A measure of the strength (velocity) of diffusion in tissue Free of the influence of T1 and T2 effects The stronger the diffusion, the greater the diffusion coefficient Exhibits darker contrast (hypointense) in pathogenic regions (reduced diffusion) RF ADC Gdiff Monopolar (Stejskal-Tanner) diffusion encoding scheme. Compare G r Benefits: shorter TE s possible ADC map B = 1000 s/mm 2 Gp higher SNR => less averages needed better for DWI in breast, abdomen, pelvis Basic Ideas (1) Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) Fundamental Equation Diffusion weighting factor, b-value Sets the measurement sensitivity to diffusion Determined by strength of diffusion gradient (G), duration of gradient ( ) and duration between the two gradients ( ) Direction of sensitivity can be altered by changing diffusion gradient direction diffusion gradient G diffusion gradient G S(b) S(0) time b Handout 2
3 Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) Fitting the ADC Generally, more b-values give better fitting Basic Ideas (3) Anisotropy: In tissue water diffusion is limited by tissue boundaries Diffusion encoding can be applied to any directions, but typically three main orthogonal axes If the same b-value is used 2-pt: / -> partly due to the perfusion effect 3-pt: / 6-pt: 0.7 / : Isotropic DW image (geometric averaging), or trace-weighted image (TraceW) Averaged ADC map Reflect diffusion weight independent of diffusion orientation. ADC b-value filter for ADC maps calculation Diffusion Mode Options Selectable b-value range for ADC calculation eliminate perfusion effects by excluding lower b-values (organ specific e.g. < 150 s/mm 2 ) from ADC calculation ADC calc. from b 0,100,600 ADC calc. from b 100, 600 Can be used to replace 3- Scan Trace. Will add SNR Used to images in most but applications will also and increase is the time standard for all diffusion sequences Used in Whole body diffusion. Reduces TE and overall scan time. Allows for larger amounts of averaging. Note: No Trace weighted Images Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) What is the optimal b-value? DWI Examples Free breathing EP2D-DIFF 3-Scan Trace b=50 s/mm 2 b=400 s/mm 2 b=800 s/mm 2 Siemens recommended b-values Anatomy b-value1 b-value 2 b-value 3 Liver Prostate Cervix Kidney Pancreas Whole Body Averaged ADC Handout 3
4 Basic Ideas (4) DWI b-value Image Extrapolation Multiple measurements/repetitions can be used to improve SNR Calculated b-value Multiple b-value images can be acquired to improve the ADC calculation Different averages can be set to different b-values to efficiently use the scan time The DW images can be inverted to mimic a PET-like appearance S(b) = image signal at b-value b b = b - b 0 b-value Averaging DWI Examples b-value Image Extrapolation Example liver DWI b = 0 s/mm 2 b = 750 s/mm 2 b = 2000 s/mm 2 Extrapolating images to b = 2000 s/mm 2 reveals the presence of water restriction within a peri-tumoralmargin in liver metastases (red arrow). Furthermore, it is observed that the contrast between metastases and background tissue is improved (green arrows). Courtesy Courtesy University Royal of Marsden Homburg/Saar, Hospital Germany / UK DWI Examples 3-Scan Trace vs 4-Scan Trace vs Increased Averages b-value Image Extrapolation & Inverted Grayscale Increase in SNR from 3 scan trace to 4 scan trace Time penalty isn t that severe in order to improve overall SNR 3 scan trace B 50(1avg), 400(2avg), 800 (4avg) 4 scan trace B 50(1avg), 400(2avg), 800 (4avg) 3 scan trace B 50(1avg), 400(2avg), 800 (7avg) Adding averages to the later b-value improves SNR to an already signal deficient image TA: 3:15 TA 4:34 4:15 Handout 4
5 DWI Examples b-value Image Extrapolation & Inverted Grayscale Example WB-DWI patient with multiple metastases along the spine from a primary prostatetumour The contrastin the computed image is improved compared to the acquired image as signalfrom tissues such as the kidneys, testes and salivary glands (red,green and blue arrows respectively)has been reduced. Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (1) Chemical Shift Artifacts in EPI Single shot: chemical shift differences have more time to evolve Low bandwidth along phase encode chemical shift of > 30 pixels kphase kread Courtesy Royal Marsden Hospital / UK acquired b = 900 s/mm 2 computed b = 1500 s/mm 2 Whole Body DWI Pediatric tumor staging Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (1) Chemical Shift Artifacts in EPI 4-years-old female patient with suspicion of Wilms tumor MIP images based on high b-value (800 s/mm 2 ) 5 steps composed Courtesy University of Homburg/Saar, Germany Solution: Fat suppression. Whole Body DWI Therapy Control of a patient with Hodgkin s Disease Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (2) N/2 ghosting in EPI Eddy currents and other imperfections cause phase differences between even and odd lines N/2 Shifted by N/2 from main image Phase correction not always perfect pre. and post 8 days after chemo cycle Before phase correction After phase correction Courtesy: Anwar Padhani, Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, UK Handout 5
6 Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (2) N/2 ghosting in EPI Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (5) Free Breathing vs. Navigator Possible reasons and solutions for N/2 EPI ghosts Mechanical resonance of scanner components Use appropriate echo spacing (T esp ), for example, avoid ms for Tim Trio ipat reconstruction artifacts Increase the number of reference lines (36-42), at the cost of recon time but not acquisition time b=50 T esp Note the improved sharpness in the sequence Navigator Navigator is longer but uses less averages to reduce scan time Navigator will produce more consistent image quality Free breathing is a great option for most routine exams Free Breathing TA: 3:43 Navigator Triggered TA: 5:00 Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (3) Long Echo Spacing and TE Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (6) ADC Thresholding Leads to longer TE More distortion More ghosting Decreased SNR TE 115 Echo Spacing 1.3 Noise Level = 10 TE 60 Echo Spacing 0.5 Possible solutions: Shorten echo spacing and TE as possible. Thresholding the ADC can lead to removal of anatomy Noise Level = 60 Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (4) Off-Center Patient Positioning Typical Artifacts in Diffusion (7) Image Resolution Interpolation ON Critical to position the patient in the center of the magnet to ensure consistent image quality!! Stair-step artifact, likely from low spatial resolution May need to switch ON interpolation when 128 matrix is used Handout 6
