Abstract:
PURPOSE:To investigate the feasibility of using multiple flip angles in dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI to reduce the uncertainty in estimation of intracellular water lifetime (τi ). METHODS:Numerical simulation studies were conducted to assess the uncertainty in estimation of τi using dynamic contrast enhanced MRI with one or two flip angles. In vivo experiments with a murine brain tumor model were conducted at 7T using two flip angles. The in vivo data were used to compare τi estimation using the single-flip-angle (SFA) protocol with that using the double-flip-angle (DFA) protocol. Data analysis was conducted using the two-compartment exchange model combined with the three-site-two-exchange model for water exchange. RESULTS:In the numerical simulation studies with a range of contrast kinetic parameters and signal-to-noise ratio = 20, the median bias of τi estimation decreased from 72 ms with SFA to 65 ms with DFA, and the corresponding median inter-quartile range reduced from 523 ms to 156 ms. In the in vivo studies, τi estimation with SFA was not successful in most voxels in the tumors, as the estimated τi values reached the upper limit of the parameter range (2 s). In contrast, the estimated τi values with DFA were mostly between 0.2 and 1.5 s and homogeneously distributed spatially across the tumor. The τi estimation with DFA was less sensitive to arterial input function scaling but more sensitive to pre-contrast T1 than the other contrast kinetic parameters. CONCLUSION:This study results demonstrate the feasibility of using multiple flip angles to encode the post-contrast time-intensity curve with different weighting of water exchange effect to reduce the uncertainty in τi estimation.
