초록
본 연구에서는 가돌리늄 조영제를 다양한 몰농도로 희석하여 T1 효과를 나타내는 펄스 시퀀스 중 고속스핀에코와 에코타임이 극도로 짧은 ultra short time echo에서 최대 신호 강도 분포를 나타내는 조영제 희석 몰농도를 3.0T에서 각각 알아보고자 하였다. T1 조영제인 gadoxetic acid 와 완충용액으로는 증류수, 2% agarose gel을 이용하여 다양한 몰농도로 조영제 팬텀을 제작하였다. 팬텀 제작의 정확성을 측정하기 위해 T1 이완시간 측정의 표준방식인 2D inversion recovery spine-echo 펄스시퀀스를 이용하였으며 팬텀의 중간 부의 한 개의 관상면 영상을 획득하여 T1 이완 시간을 계산하였다. 스핀에코에서는 1-2 mmol/L 조영제 몰농도에서 가장 높은 신호를 나타냈으며, ultra short time echo에서는 7 mmol/L에서 가장 큰 신호를 나타냈다. ultra short time echo 펄스 시퀀스를 이용한 조영증강 효과를 보기 위해서는 고속스핀에코 기법 보다 2-3배의 조영제 농도가 목적 장기에 유지하여야 하며 이와 관련된 조영제량 및 투여 방법의 연구가 이루어져야 한다.
Abstract
The information of contrast media concentration on target organ is very important to get reduce the side effect and high contrast imaging. We investigated alternation of signal intensity as a function of the modality of Gd-based contrast media on spin echo and ultra short time echo (UTE) of T1 effective pulse sequence at 3T MRI unit. Gadoxetic acid, which is a MRI T1 contrast medium, was used to manufacture an agarose phantom diluted in various molarities, and sterile water and agarose 2% were used as the buf-fer solution for the dilution. The gold standard T1 calculation was based on coronal single section imag-ing of the phantom mid-point with 2D Inversion recovery spine-echo pulse sequence MR imaging for test-ing of phantom accuracy. The 1-2mmol/L and 7mmol/L was shown the maximum signal intensity on spin echo and UTE respectively. We confirm the difference of contrast media concentration which was shown the maximum signal intensity depending on the T1 effective pulse sequence.
