Abstract:
PURPOSE:To test octafluorocyclobutane (OFCB) as an inhalation contrast agent for fluorine-19 MRI of the lung, and to compare the image quality of OFCB scans with perfluoropropane (PFP) scans THEORY AND METHODS: After normalizing for the number of signal averages, a theoretical comparison between the OFCB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and PFP SNR predicted the average SNR advantage of 90% using OFCB during gradient echo imaging. The OFCB relaxometry was conducted using single-voxel spectroscopy and spin-echo imaging. A comparison of OFCB and PFP SNRs was performed in vitro and in vivo. Five healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were imaged during single breath-hold and continuous breathing using a Philips Achieva 3.0T MRI scanner (Philips, Andover, MA). The scan time was constant for both gases. Statistical comparison between PFP and OFCB scans was conducted using a paired t test and by calculating the Bayes factor. RESULTS:Spin-lattice (T1 ) and effective spin-spin ( T 2 ∗ ) relaxation time constants of the pure OFCB gas were determined as 28.5 ± 1.2 ms and 10.5 ± 1.8 ms, respectively. Mixing with 21% of oxygen decreased T1 by 30% and T 2 ∗ by 20%. The OFCB in vivo images showed 73% higher normalized SNR on average compared with images acquired using PFP. The statistical significance was shown by both paired t test and calculated Bayes factors. The experimental results agree with theoretical calculations within the error of the relaxation parameter measurements. CONCLUSION:The quality of the lung images acquired using OFCB was significantly better compared with PFP scans. The OFCB images had higher a SNR and were artifact-free.
