Synthetic double inversion recovery imaging in brain MRI: quantitative evaluation and feasibility of synthetic MRI and a comparison with conventional double inversion recovery and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences
2022
Overview
Background and purpose
Synthetic MR imaging (SyMRI) allows the reconstruction of various contrast images, including double inversion recovery (DIR), from a single scan. This study aimed to investigate the advantages of SyMRI by comparing synthetic DIR images with synthetic T2-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2W-FLAIR) and conventional DIR images.
Materials and methods
We retrospectively reviewed the imaging data of 100 consecutive patients who underwent brain MRI between December 2018 and March 2019. Synthetic DIR, T2W-FLAIR, T1-weighted, and phase-sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) images were generated from SyMRI data. For synthetic DIR, the two inversion times required to suppress white matter and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were manually determined by two radiologists. Quantitative analysis was performed by manually tracing the region of interest (ROI) at the sites of the lesion, white matter, and CSF. Synthetic DIR, synthetic T2W-FLAIR, and conventional DIR images were compared on the basis of using the gray matter-to-white matter, lesion-to-white matter, and lesion-to-CSF contrast-to-noise ratios.
Results
The two radiologists showed no differences in setting inversion time (TI) values, and their evaluations showed excellent interobserver agreement. The mean signal intensities obtained with synthetic DIR were significantly higher than those obtained with synthetic T2W-FLAIR and conventional DIR.
Conclusion
Synthetic DIR images showed a higher contrast than synthetic T2WFLAIR and conventional DIR images.
