Abstract

The purpose of this analysis is to compare 2D T1 FEE and 3D T1 THRIVE for demonstration of the pancreas. A total of 85(45 men, 40 women; 58 years) PACS network datum were analysis clinically indicated pancreas MRI at 1.5 T. The SNRs and CNRs of 3D T1 THRIVE(SNR: $46.42{\pm}0.67$, CNR: $28.16{\pm}0.50$) showed significantly higher values than those from 2D T1 FEE(SNR: $53.84{\pm}1.20$, CNR: $35.48{\pm}0.70$), p<0.05, The image quality of the 3D T1 THRIVE($2.63 {\pm}0.14$) was significantly superior to that with the 2D T1 FEE($2.2{\pm}0.05$), but 3D T1 THRIVE revealed several artifacts resulting in poor quality. In conclusion, The 3D T1 THRIVE technique with a 1.5 T resulting in improved SNRs, CNRs and image quality was demonstrated.

본 데이터 분석은 췌장의 묘출을 위한 2D T1 FFE 과 3D T1 THRIVE 기법을 비교하고자 하였다. 1.5 T에서 검사한 총 85명(남자 45명, 여자 40 명, 연령범위 38-80세, 평균연령 58세)의 데이터를 PACS 네트워크(network)로 분석을 하였다. 평균 2D T1 FFE(SNR: $46.42{\pm}0.67$, CNR: $28.16{\pm}0.50$)보다 3D T1 THRIVE(SNR: $53.84{\pm}1.20$, CNR: $35.48{\pm}0.70$)값이 의미 있게 높은 값을 보여주었고(p<0.05), 영상의 질적인면(2D T1 FFE: $2.2{\pm}0.05$, 3D T1 THRIVE: $2.63 {\pm}0.14$)에서도 2D T1 FFE 기법에 비해 3D T1 THRIVE 기법이 모두 우위의 값을 얻게 되었다(p<0.05). 그러나 3D T1 THRIVE 기법이 높은 값을 얻었지만 영상의 질을 감소시키는 몇 가지 인공물이 발생하였다. 결론적으로 1.5 T MRI 기기를 이용한 3D T1 THRIVE 기법이 SNR, CNR, 영상의 질적 측면에서 증가된 결과를 얻었다.
