A Magnetic Resonance Imaging Protocol for Stroke Onset Time Estimation in Permanent Cerebral Ischemia

14.6K
A protocol for stroke onset time estimation in a rat model of stroke exploiting quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) parameters is described. The procedure exploits diffusion MRI for delineation of the acute stroke lesion and quantitative T1 and T2 (qT1 and qT2) relaxation times for timing of stroke.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) metabolite quantification is improved using individually measured water relaxation parameters (T1, T2) and proton density (PD) obtained via multi-dynamic multi-echo (MDME) imaging. This method enhances accuracy, especially in diverse populations.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) quantifies metabolites using water as a reference.
  • Accurate quantification relies on tissue-specific water T1, T2 relaxation constants, and proton density (PD).
  • Literature values for these parameters can introduce variability due to age and clinical conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the agreement between metabolite concentrations calculated using individually measured vs. literature-based water relaxation parameters and proton density.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of using rapid multi-dynamic multi-echo (MDME) imaging for acquiring these individual-specific parameters.
  • To determine the impact of parameter variability on metabolite concentration calculations.

Main Methods:

  • 1H-MRS and MDME data were acquired from 26 healthy volunteers (18-40 years).
  • Metabolite concentrations were calculated using both individually measured and literature-based T1, T2, and PD values.
  • Sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the influence of extended parameter ranges.

Main Results:

  • MDME successfully provided individual T1, T2, and PD values for tissue correction.
  • Metabolite concentrations showed strong agreement between individually measured and literature-based values.
  • Individually measured parameters led to slightly lower metabolite concentrations compared to literature values, with T1 relaxation showing the most significant impact on variability.

Conclusions:

  • MDME imaging enables fast, individual-specific acquisition of relaxation parameters for accurate 1H-MRS tissue correction.
  • This approach is highly relevant for populations with varying physiological parameters, including pediatric, elderly, and clinically diagnosed individuals.
  • The study validates a practical method for improving metabolite quantification in diverse research and clinical settings.
