Organ-Specific Recommendations for Increasing Temperature- To-Noise Ratio of Magnetic Resonance Thermometry Using Dual-Pathway Sequences at 1.5T, 3T, and 7T during Guidance of Thermal Therapies

Abstract

Objective: Thermal therapies provide minimally-invasive alternatives to surgery. Their safety and efficacy require accurate temperature monitoring. Dual-pathway sequences were shown to improve magnetic resonance MR thermometry temperature-to-noise-ratio TNR using tissue specific parameters at 3T. This study provides expanded guidance for increasing accuracy and speed, across a wider range of tissue types at magnetic field strengths 1.5T, 3T and 7T.Material and Methods: TNR of a dual-pathway ‘Fast-Imaging-with-Steady-state-free-Precession’ FISP -‘inverted-FISP’ PSIF sequence was compared to a more conventional dual-FISP. Software was validated against analytical solutions, TNR calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. Recommendations were developed for breast glandular tissue and fat, myometrium, endometrium, cervix, liver, prostate, pancreas, spleen, myocardium, optic nerve and spinal cord at 1.5T and 3T; and for gray matter, white matter, kidney medulla and cortex, skeletal muscle, fat, cartilage, bone marrow at 1.5T, 3T, and 7T.Results: TNR improved using PSIF-FISP: in the kidney, uterus, prostate, spleen, optic nerve and spinal cord at most parameters and fields; in the liver, pancreas, cartilage, skeletal muscle, myocardium, and breast at only short repetition-times TR ; in the brain at 1.5T and 3T across most parameters, but the benefits decreased at 7T; in fat and bone marrow at 1.5T across most parameters, but the benefits decreased at 3T and 7T; and in the cervix at 1.5T at only short TRs, and at 3T with widespread benefits at most parameters. In all cases, PSIF-FISP improved TNR greatly as TR decreased, and slightly as the flip-angle increased.Conclusion: MR thermometry TNR and speed can increase considerably using dual-pathway sequences with parameters selected based on target tissue and magnetic field strength
