まとめ
定量的な筋肉MRI (qMRI) は,健康な被験者に良好な再現性を示しました. しかし,メーカーの間の大きな差異は,マルチセンターの研究の修正を必要とします.
科学分野:
- メディカルイマージング (医学イメージング)
- 神経学 神経学とは
- バイオフィジックス 生物物理学
背景:
- 定量的な筋肉MRI (qMRI) は,神経筋疾患 (NMD) の筋肉の変化を検出するために重要です.
- マルチセンターの研究は,珍しいNMD研究にとって不可欠であり,異なるMRIベンダー間で比較可能なデータを要求します.
- qMRIパラメータのメーカーによる変動性は,まだ十分に研究されていない.
研究 の 目的:
- 健康な被験者におけるqMRIパラメータのベンダー間の再現性を評価する.
- qMRI測定におけるメーカーによる変動性を評価する.
- マルチセンターのNMD研究のためのデータ調和を図る.
主な方法:
- 10人の健康なボランティアは,1週間以内にシーメンスとフィリップスの3TシステムでqMRIを受けた.
- ディクソン (脂肪分数,FF),T2マッピング (水T2,wT2),拡散加重画像 (FA,MD,RD,λ1) を用いて12本の足筋を分析した.
- ICC,変数係数,tテスト,Bland-Altman分析で評価された再現性.
主要な成果:
- ほとんどのqMRIパラメータは,中等から優れた再現性を示した (例えば,ICCFF=0.923,ICCwT2=0.792).
- 軸的拡散性 (λ1) は,再現性が低いことを示した (ICC=0.361).
- すべてのパラメータにおいて,ベンダー間の有意な差異 (p<0.05) が観察され,バイアスは3.6% (FA) から44.2% (FF) であった.
結論:
- qMRIパラメータは,健康なボランティアの体内で一般的に再現可能である.
- 絶対的なqMRI値は,メーカーによって大きく異なるため,正確なデータ収集のために修正が必要です.
- 製造業者に関連する不一致を解決することは,信頼性の高いマルチセンターおよび縦断的なNMD研究にとって不可欠です.

Variation: Normal Distribution, Range, and Standard Deviation

In the field of psychology, there are several ways to organize measurements of a trait, feature, or characteristic (i.e., variables). Qualitative data, such as ethnicity, can be tabulated into a frequency count to provide information about the proportion, as well as the variety of groups in a sample or population. On the other hand, researchers can perform a wider set of calculations on quantitative data. The mean, mode, and median, for instance, are central tendency measures to identify a...

Standard Enthalpy of Formation

Enthalpy changes are typically tabulated for reactions in which both the reactants and products are at the same conditions. A standard state is a commonly accepted set of conditions used as a reference point for the determination of properties under other different conditions. For chemists, the IUPAC standard state refers to materials under a pressure of 1 bar and solutions at 1 M and does not specify a temperature. Many thermochemical tables list values with a standard state of 1 atm. Because...

Standard Electrode Potentials

On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

Measurement: Standard Units
82.2K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Calculating Standard Free Energy Changes
25.7K
The free energy change for a reaction that occurs under the standard conditions of 1 bar pressure and at 298 K is called the standard free energy change. Since free energy is a state function, its value depends only on the conditions of the initial and final states of the system. A convenient and common approach to the calculation of free energy changes for physical and chemical reactions is by use of widely available compilations of standard state thermodynamic data. One method involves the...

Standard Solutions

Standard solutions refer to solutions with a precisely known concentration or composition. A primary standard is a highly pure, high molar mass, stable substance that is entirely soluble in water, the most commonly used solvent in analytical chemistry. The primary standard solution can be used to standardize secondary standards, which are substances with known concentrations but are less pure and stable. Standard solutions are essential for achieving accurate and reliable results in analytical...
