Synchronous MRI of muscle motion induced by electrical stimulation.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Assessing the functionality of muscle fibers is essential to monitor both pathological and physiological processes. Here, we present a new method for accurate, quantitative measurement of muscle contraction with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using an electrical muscle stimulator (EMS), hence allowing the direct assessment of muscle kinematics. METHODS:A commercially available EMS device was used to induce involuntary periodic muscle contraction of the vastus lateralis muscle (VL) synchronized with high-temporal-resolution cine phase contrast MRI acquisition at 3T. The proposed method was evaluated in ten male volunteers at varying levels of stimulation (10-18 mA) and maximum velocity, strain, and strain rate were calculated offline. RESULTS:Artifact-free velocity, strain and strain rate maps were produced and were consistent across the volunteers. Quantitatively, all parameters varied significantly at different levels of stimulation, in an approximately power-law dependence on the stimulation current. At 18 mA maximum contraction speeds at the beginning of the contraction were 4.28 ± 2.64 cm/s; principal strain was 0.30 ± 0.12; and positive in-plane strain rate was 0.25 ± 0.14 s-1 . CONCLUSION:MRI of EMS-controlled involuntary muscle contraction is feasible and allows offline calculation of velocity, strain and strain rate maps, which appear to depend significantly on the stimulation current used.
