Abstract

Objectives

To evaluate the performance of four-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (4D-pCASL)-based angiography using CENTRA-keyhole and view sharing (4D-PACK) in the visualization of flow dynamics in distal cerebral arteries and leptomeningeal anastomosis (LMA) collaterals in moyamoya disease in comparison with contrast inherent inflow-enhanced multiphase angiography (CINEMA), with reference to digital subtraction angiography (DSA).

Methods

Thirty-two cerebral hemispheres from 19 patients with moyamoya disease (mean age, 29.7 ± 19.6 years; five males, 14 females) underwent both 4D-MR angiography and DSA. Qualitative evaluations included the visualization of anterograde middle cerebral artery (MCA) flow and retrograde flow via LMA collaterals with reference to DSA. Quantitative evaluations included assessments of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) on these vessels. The linear mixed-effect model was used to compare the 4D-PACK and CINEMA methods.

Results

The vessel visualization scores were significantly higher with 4D-PACK than with CINEMA in the visualization of anterograde flow for both Observer 1 (CINEMA, 3.53 ± 1.39; 4D-PACK, 4.53 ± 0.80; p < 0.0001) and Observer 2 (CINEMA, 3.50±1.39; 4D-PACK, 4.31 ± 0.86; p = 0.0009). The scores were higher with 4D-PACK than with CINEMA in the visualization of retrograde flow for both Observer 1 (CINEMA, 3.44 ± 1.05; 4D-PACK, 4.47 ± 0.88; p < 0.0001) and Observer 2 (CINEMA, 3.19 ± 1.20; 4D-PACK, 4.38 ± 0.91; p < 0.0001). The maximum CNR in the anterograde flow was higher in 4D-PACK (40.1 ± 16.1, p = 0.0001) than in CINEMA (27.0 ± 16.6). The maximum CNR in the retrograde flow was higher in 4D-PACK (36.1 ± 10.0, p < 0.0001) than in CINEMA (15.4 ± 8.0).

Conclusions

The 4D-PACK provided better visualization and higher CNRs in distal cerebral arteries and LMA collaterals compared with CINEMA in patients with this disease.

Key Points

The 4D-PACK enables good visualization of distal cerebral arteries in moyamoya disease.
The 4D-PACK enables direct visualization of leptomeningeal collateral vessels in moyamoya disease.
Vessel visualization by 4D-PACK can be useful in assessing cerebral hemodynamics.

ePA: Entlastung oder Mehrarbeit?

Die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA) soll das Gesundheitswesen revolutionieren. Mit über 2000 Krankenhäusern und mehr als 100.000 ärztlichen Praxen ist sie eines der größten Digitalisierungsprojekte Europas. Während die Politik die ePA als „Gamechanger“ feiert, zeigt sich in der Praxis ein anderes Bild.

Hölzerner Fremdkörper in der Orbita? Zuerst eine CT!

Besteht der Verdacht, dass ein Fremdkörper aus Holz in den Orbitalraum eingedrungen ist, spielt die Bildgebung eine entscheidende diagnostische Rolle. Was von CT und MRT zu erwarten ist, hat ein chinesisches Radiologenteam untersucht.

Diagnostik von Rippenfrakturen: KI schlägt Radiologen

Mensch gegen Maschine: Beim Erkennen von Rippenfrakturen in Röntgen- und CT-Aufnahmen entschied sich dieses Duell zugunsten der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI). Die Algorithmen zeigten eine höhere Sensitivität als ihre menschlichen Kollegen.

Ärztinnen überholen Ärzte bei Praxisgründungen

Bei Praxisgründungen haben inzwischen die Frauen deutlich die Nase vorn: Seit zehn Jahren wagen laut apoBank mehr Ärztinnen als Ärzte den Schritt in die Selbstständigkeit. In puncto Finanzierung sind sie aber vorsichtiger als die männlichen Kollegen.
