초록
목적 : 본 연구는 20대 건강한 성인을 대상으로 반전 시간 (inversion time, TI)의 차이에 의한 뇌 영상을 획득하여 체적을분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 20대 건강한 성인을 대상으로 MPRAGE (magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo)pulse sequence, 절편두께 1.5 mm, 4개의 반전 시간 (800 ms, 900 ms, 1000 ms, 1100 ms)을 이용해 뇌 영상을획득하였다. 획득된 뇌 영상을 이용해 백질 (white matter, WM), 회백질(gray matter, GM), 그리고 전체 뇌 체적(intracranial volume, ICV)을 측정하고 각 TI 별로 뇌 체적 및 성별에 따른 통계적인 차이가 있는지 분석하였다. 결과 : Freesurfer로 산출된 뇌 체적은 평균 ICV=1278.94 ± 154.92 cm3를 이용하여 정규화 하였고, 평균 WM=486.52 ± 48.64 cm3, 평균 GM=646.83 ± 57.12 cm3 이었다. 남자의 뇌 체적 (WM, GM, ICV)은 여자보다 컸다. 측정간 신뢰도 테스트에서 급내 상관 계수는 모두 높은 수치를 나타내었다 (WM 0.992, GM 0.988, ICV 0.997). 반복측정분산분석에서는 GM과 ICV는 각 TI에서 유의수준 내에서의 차이가 없었지만 (GM p=0.143, ICV p=0.052) WM는 유의수준 내에서의 차이가 있었다 (p=0.001). 선형 구조 관계 분석에서는 피어슨 상관 계수가 모두 높은 수치를 보였다. 결론 : WM, GM, ICV는 높은 신뢰도와 선형 구조 관계를 나타내었고 WM는 각 TI에서 유의수준 내에서의 차이를 보였다. 20대 건강한 성인의 뇌 체적의 자료는 환자들과의 비교에 참고자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이며, 뇌의 구조적인 변화를 예측하는데도움을 줄 것이다. TI의 변화에 따라 대조도, 잡음비 그리고 병변의 검출 능력을 조사하는 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.
Abstract
Purpose : The objective of this study was to analyze the brain volume according to the brain image of healthy adults in the 20s taken with different inversion time (TI). Materials and Methods: Brain images of healthy adults in the 20 s were acquired using magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo (MPRAGE) pulse sequence with 1.5 mm thickness of pieces and four inversion times (1100 ms, 1000 ms, 900 ms, 800 ms). The acquired brain images were analyzed to measure the volume of white matter (WM), gray matter (GM), intracranial volume (ICV). The statistical difference according to brain volume and gender was analyzed for each TI. Results: The brain volume calculated using Freesurfer was WM=486.52±48.64 cm3 and GM=646.86±57.12 cm3in mean when adjusted by mean ICV=1278.94±154.92 cm3. Men’s brain volume(WM, GM, ICV) was larger than women’s brain volume. In the intrarater reliability test, all of the intraclass correlation coefficients were high (0.992 for WM, 0.988 for GM, and 0.997 for ICV). In the repeated measures analysis of variance, GM and ICV did not show a significant difference at each TI (GM p=0.143, ICV p=0.052), but WM showed a significant (p=0.001). In the linear structure relation analysis, all of the Pearson correlation coefficients were high. Conclusion: WM, GM, and ICV indicated high reliability and solid linear structure relations, but WM showed significant differences at each TI. The brain volume of healthy adults in the 20s could be used in comparison with that of patients for reference purposes and to predict the structural change of brain. It would be needed to conduct additional studies to examine the contract, SNR, and lesion detection ability according to variable TI.
