Area of Science:

  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Medical Imaging
  • Contrast Agents

Background:

  • Accurate temperature monitoring is crucial for various medical applications, including hyperthermia treatment and interventional procedures.
  • Developing non-invasive thermometry methods with high spatial and temporal resolution remains a significant challenge in medical imaging.
  • Praseodymium complexes offer potential as temperature-sensitive contrast agents due to their unique magnetic properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel praseodymium complex, Pr[MOE-DO3A], as a temperature-sensitive contrast agent for non-invasive thermometry (NIT).
  • To develop and implement spectroscopic imaging (SI) methods for spatially resolved 2D and 3D temperature mapping.
  • To assess the thermal and temporal resolution capabilities of the developed NIT method.

Main Methods:

  • A praseodymium complex, Pr[MOE-DO3A], was synthesized and characterized for its temperature-dependent chemical shift.
  • Conventional and fast echo planar spectroscopic imaging (EPSI) sequences were implemented on a 4.7 T MR imaging system.
  • The method accounted for the short relaxation times (T1=28 ms, T2=13 ms) and chemical shift difference (-24 ppm) of the Pr complex's methoxy group.

Main Results:

  • Pr[MOE-DO3A] demonstrated a temperature sensitivity of approximately 0.12 ppm/°C.
  • 2D SI methods achieved temperature measurements with average differences < 0.2 °C compared to fiberoptic thermometry.
  • 3D EPSI experiments (16x16x16 matrix) provided temperature maps within 17 seconds for 3x3x3 mm³ voxels.

Conclusions:

  • The praseodymium complex Pr[MOE-DO3A] is a viable temperature-sensitive contrast agent for non-invasive thermometry.
  • Spectroscopic imaging techniques, particularly 3D EPSI, enable rapid and accurate spatially resolved temperature measurements.
  • The developed method meets the demands for high thermal (<1 °C) and temporal (<20 s) resolution in MR-based thermometry.
