快速大角度自旋回波(FLASE)是一种常见的脉冲序列,设计用于骨小梁微结构的定量成像。然而,非选择性相位反转脉冲中的缺陷使其易于产生受激回波伪影。该问题在各向同性分辨率下进一步加剧。这里,描述了一种基本上改进的RF破坏FLASE序列(sp-FLASE),并用1.5和3T的数据说明了其性能。其他增强功能包括用于平移运动感测的导航回波,应用于平行于成像板的切片中。而最近的工作表明,从SNR的角度来看,使用完全平衡FLASE(b-FLASE)是有利的,这里提供的证据表明,更大的鲁棒性的sp-FLASE可能会超过小的SNR增益的b-FLASE的目标应用的骨小梁成像在远端四肢,专门脂肪骨髓的网站的好处。理论布洛赫方程分析和甘油三酯质子的有效T2的脉冲序列依赖性的结果是支持的。最后,sp-FLASE图像显示,在人体胫骨远端的三维空间中,在各向异性(137 × 137 × 410 µ m3)和各向同性(160 × 160 × 160 µ m3)分辨率下,提供了小梁网络的详细和可重复的视觉描述。
Fast Large-Angle Spin Echo (FLASE) is a common pulse sequence designed for quantitative imaging of trabecular bone micro-architecture. However, imperfections in the nonselective phase-reversal pulse render it prone to stimulated echo artifacts. The problem is further exacerbated at isotropic resolution. Here, a substantially improved RF-spoiled FLASE sequence (sp-FLASE) is described and its performance illustrated with data at 1.5 and 3T. Additional enhancements include navigator echoes for translational motion sensing applied in a slice parallel to the imaging slab. Whereas recent work suggests the use of fully balanced FLASE (b-FLASE) to be advantageous from a SNR point of view, evidence is provided here that the greater robustness of sp-FLASE may outweigh the benefits of minor SNR gain of b-FLASE for the target application of trabecular bone imaging in the distal extremities, sites of exclusively fatty marrow. Results are supported by a theoretical Bloch equation analysis and the pulse sequence dependence of the effective T2 of triglyceride protons. Lastly, sp-FLASE images are shown to provide detailed and reproducible visual depiction of trabecular networks in three dimensions at both anisotropic (137×137×410 µm3) and isotropic (160×160×160 µm3) resolutions in the human distal tibia in vivo.
