1 Advanced MSK MRI Protocols at 3.0T Garry E. Gold, M.D. Associate Professor Department of Radiology Stanford University

2 Outline Why High Field for MSK? SNR and Relaxation Times Technical Issues Example protocols New applications

3 MSK MR Imaging Small structures ( cm) High resolution (< 0.5 mm) Limited motion Excellent contrast required

4 Rapid Knee Protocol

5 SNR Comparison 1.5T 3.0T Axial PD: SNR Ratio = 1.77

6 SNR Comparison 1.5T 3.0T Sagittal PD: SNR Ratio = 1.81

7 Chemical Shift Artifact BW + 16 khz BW + 64 khz

8 Chemical Shift and Bandwidth Bad News Chemical shift doubles at 3.0T compared with 1.5T Doubling the bandwidth: loss of 2 SNR Good News Doubling the bandwidth corrects chemical shift Higher bandwidth: - more slices - shorter echo times - shorter echo spacing - less metal artifact

9 Vascular Artifacts Sagittal T2 FSE with Fat Sat With flow compensation and S/I sat bands Frequency S/I

10 RF Power Deposition T1 SE: 4 min T1 FSE: 2 min Less RF Power, faster

11 RF Power Considerations Bad News RF power increases at 3.0T - T 1 SE and FSE are high power sequences Body coil transmit (high power) for pelvis and spine may limit some applications Good News Most joints are small in volume - limits power deposition (T/R coils) Lowering flip angle of refocusing pulses in FSE can decrease RF power, at the cost of some SNR

12 Fat Suppression at 3.0T Bad News More difficult at 3.0T due to field inhomogeneity Good News Fat sat pulses are shorter at 3.0T (shift of 440 Hz) Shorter sat pulses: -more slices per TR -faster SPGR imaging

13 Brachial Plexus: IDEAL Fat-Sat FSE IDEAL FSE

14 Rapid Knee Protocol Use: Routine knee imaging Goal: Keep imaging time to a minimum while having acceptable quality Possible to scan a knee in 15 min with table turn around

15 Rapid Knee Protocol Axial PD FSE TR/TE = 5000/35 Fat saturation 4.0 / 1.0 mm 320x224, 1 nex 14 cm FOV 26 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW ARC 1.8

16 Rapid Knee Protocol Coronal T1 FSE TR/TE = 1000/20 No Fat saturation 4/1 mm 384x224, 1 nex 16 cm FOV 18 slices ETL = 4 32 khz BW ARC 1.8

17 Rapid Knee Protocol Coronal T2 FSE TR/TE = 4000/54 Fat saturation 4/1 mm 320x224, 1 nex 16 cm FOV 22 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW ARC 1.8

18 Rapid Knee Protocol Sagittal PD FSE TR/TE = 5000/35 No fat saturation 3.0/0.5 mm 384x224, 1 nex 14 cm FOV 30 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW ARC - none

19 Rapid Knee Protocol Sagittal T2 FSE TR/TE = 6400/60 No fat saturation 3.0/0.5 mm 320x224, 1 nex 14 cm FOV 30 slices ETL = khz BW Flow Comp, SI Sat

21 3.0T: Resolution Advantage

22 High Resolution Knee Protocol Use: High quality knee imaging Goal: Keep imaging time to about min while having outstanding quality Possible to scan a knee in 45 min with table turn around 8 channel knee coil

23 High Resolution Knee Protocol Axial PD FSE TR/TE = 5000/20 Fat saturation 2.5/0.5mm 416 x averages 14 cm FOV 26 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW

24 High Resolution Knee Protocol Coronal T1 FSE TR/TE = 1000/15 No Fat saturation 2.5/0.5 mm 416 x averages 14 cm FOV 18 slices ETL = 3 41 khz BW

25 High Resolution Knee Protocol Coronal T2 FSE TR/TE = 5000/60 Fat saturation 2.5/0.5 mm 416 x averages 14 cm FOV 22 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW

26 High Resolution Knee Protocol Sagittal PD FSE TR/TE = 5000/15 No fat saturation 2.5/0.5 mm 512 x averages 16 cm FOV 30 slices ETL = 8 41 khz BW

27 High Resolution Knee Protocol Sagittal T2 FSE TR/TE = 5000/54 Fat saturation 2.5/0.5 mm 384 x averages 16 cm FOV 30 slices ETL = 8 32 khz BW Flow Comp, S Sat

28 High Resolution Knee Protocol Coronal 3D FSE TR/TE = 3000/35 Fat saturation 0.6 mm slices 288 x averages 17 cm FOV 200 slices ETL = khz BW Reformat at 2 mm slices
