説明

AIM: To evaluate the image quality of bone-vessel fused volume-rendering (VR) images reconstructed by three-dimensional "black bone" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition cycled phases (FIESTA-C) sequence and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients were analysed in this retrospective study. All patients underwent both MRI techniques including FIESTA-C and TOF-MRA and computed tomography angiography (CTA). MRI- and CT-based bone-vessel VR images were reconstructed. Visual depictions of frontal and parietal branches from the superficial temporal artery (STA) were independently scored by three experienced radiological technologists using a four-grade system. RESULTS: In the visual evaluation, the scores of the both right and left frontal branches in MRI-based VR image were significantly larger those at CT (p<0.01, respectively). The scores of both the right and left parietal branches tended to be larger in MRI-based than that in CT-based VR imaging, but were not significantly so (p=0.06, 0.13 respectively). In the interobserver agreement analysis, K values were all good (range: 0.6-0.76) for STA branch evaluation in MRI-based VR images. CONCLUSION: MRI bone-vessel fused VR imaging can non-invasively depict STA frontal branches with better visibility compared to the CT-based VR imaging. This technique may be useful for the preoperative evaluation of donor branches for STA-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery. (C) 2019 The Royal College of Radiologists. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
