MRI dosimetry: a fast quantitative MRI method to determine 3D absorbed dose distributions.

Abstract:

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques seem to be very promising for 3D dosimetry studies, but long imaging acquisition time limits their use. A new fast T1 mapping protocol, easy to implement on a conventional MR imager, has been used to determine dose distributions on Fricke gels. METHODS:The method has been tested on manganese chloride (MnCl2) doped ferrous gelatin gels. The T1 measuring times range from 1 minute 40 seconds to 3 minutes 30 seconds for a 256x256 matrix image. RESULTS:The two- and three-dimensional profiles agree with those obtained with conventional dosimetry techniques (ion chambers). The precision and the spatial resolution principally depend on the signal-to-noise ratio of the used imaging RF coil. For example, for a surface coil, the accuracy is about 2.5% with a 1.56 mm spatial resolution. CONCLUSION:These preliminary results support the feasibility of the proposed technique for accurate MRI dosimetry studies and also have potential for various clinical quantitative MRI applications.
