    Abstract Purpose: Time-resolved pulmonary perfusion MRI requires both high temporal and spatial resolution, which can be achieved by using several nonconventional k-space acquisition techniques. The aim of this study is to compare the image quality of time-resolved 3D pulmonary perfusion MRI with different k-space acquisition techniques in healthy volunteers at 1.5 and 3 T.
    Methods: Ten healthy volunteers underwent contrast-enhanced time-resolved 3D pulmonary MRI on 1.5 and 3 T using the following k-space acquisition techniques: (a) generalized autocalibrating partial parallel acquisition (GRAPPA) with an internal acquisition of reference lines (IRS), (b) GRAPPA with a single "external" acquisition of reference lines (ERS) before the measurement, and (c) a combination of GRAPPA with an internal acquisition of reference lines and view sharing (VS). The spatial resolution was kept constant at both field strengths to exclusively evaluate the influences of the temporal resolution achieved with the different k-space sampling techniques on image quality. The temporal resolutions were 2.11 seconds IRS, 1.31 seconds ERS, and 1.07 VS at 1.5 T and 2.04 seconds IRS, 1.30 seconds ERS, and 1.19 seconds VS at 3 T.Image quality was rated by 2 independent radiologists with regard to signal intensity, perfusion homogeneity, artifacts (eg, wrap around, noise), and visualization of pulmonary vessels using a 3 point scale (1 = nondiagnostic, 2 = moderate, 3 = good). Furthermore, the signal-to-noise ratio in the lungs was assessed.
    Results: At 1.5 T the lowest image quality (sum score: 154) was observed for the ERS technique and the highest quality for the VS technique (sum score: 201). In contrast, at 3 T images acquired with VS were hampered by strong artifacts and image quality was rated significantly inferior (sum score: 137) compared with IRS (sum score: 180) and ERS (sum score: 174). Comparing 1.5 and 3 T, in particular the overall rating of the IRS technique (sum score: 180) was very similar at both field strengths. At 1.5 T the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the ERS was significantly lower in comparison to the IRS and the VS technique (14.6 vs. 26.7 and 39.6 respectively, P < 0.004).
    Conclusion: Using the IRS sampling algorithm comparable image quality and SNR can be achieved at 1.5 and 3 T. At 1.5 T VS offers the best possible solution for the conflicting requirements between a further increased temporal resolution and image quality. In consequence the gain of increased scanning efficiency from advanced k[r]-space sampling acquisition techniques can be exploited for a further improvement of image quality of pulmonary perfusion MRI.

    Abstract Purpose: Motion artifacts often markedly degrade image quality in clinical scans. The BLADE technique offers an alternative k-space sampling scheme reducing the effect of patient related motion on image quality. The purpose of this study is the comparison of imaging artifacts, signal-to-noise (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of a new turboFLASH BLADE k-space trajectory with the standard Cartesian k-space sampling for brain imaging, using a 32-channel coil at 3T.
    Methods: The results from 32 patients included after informed consent are reported. This study was performed with a 32-channel head coil on a 3T scanner. Sagittal and axial T1-weighted FLASH sequences (TR/TE 250/2.46 milliseconds, flip angle 70-degree), acquired with Cartesian k-space sampling and T1-weighted turboFLASH sequences (TR/TE/TIsag/TIax 3200/2.77/1144/1056 milliseconds, flip angle 20-degree), using PROPELLER (BLADE) k-space trajectory, were compared. SNR and CNR were evaluated using a paired student t test. The frequency of motion artifacts was assessed in a blinded read. To analyze the differences between both techniques a McNemar test was performed. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    Results: From the blinded read, the overall preference in terms of diagnostic image quality was statistically significant in favor of the BLADE turboFLASH data sets, compared with standard FLASH for both sagittal (P < 0.0001) and axial (P < 0.0001) planes. The frequency of motion artifacts from the scalp was higher for standard FLASH sequences than for BLADE sequences on both axial (47%, P < 0.0003) and sagittal (69%, P < 0.0001) planes. BLADE was preferred in 100% (sagittal plane) and 80% (axial plane) of in-patient data sets and in 68% (sagittal plane) and 73% (axial plane) of out-patient data sets.The BLADE T1 scan did have lower SNRmean (BLADEax 179 +/- 98, Cartesianax 475 +/- 145, BLADEsag 171 +/- 51, and Cartesiansag 697 +/- 129) with P values indicating accordingly a statistically significant difference (Pax <0.0001, Psag < 0.0001), because of the fundamental difference in imaging approach (FLASH vs. turboFLASH). Differences for CNR were also statistically significant, independent of imaging plane (Pax = 0.001, Psag = 0.02).
    Conclusion: Results demonstrate that turboFLASH BLADE is applicable at 3T with a 32-channel head coil for T1-weighted imaging, with reduced ghost artifacts. This approach offers the first truly clinically applicable T1-weighted BLADE technique for brain imaging at 3T, with consistent excellent image quality.

    Abstract Ziele: Vergleich einer konventionellen TSE Sequenz (kTSE) mit linearer K-Raum-Auslese und einer Sequenz mit rotierender K-Raum-Auslese (BLADE) bezüglich Bildqualität, anatomischer Detailerkennbarkeit, diagnostischer Sicherheit von Schulterpathologien.
    Methode: Das symptomatische Schultergelenk von 80 Patienten wurde mit jeweils einer moderat T2-w koronalen und transversalen BLADE sowie kTSE in identischer Positionierung (TR3000ms/TE45ms/FOV160/BW260Hz) bei 3T mit einer kommerziellen 4-Kanal-Schulterspule untersucht. Die Bilder wurden mit einer 5-Punkt-Likert-Skala (0 schlecht –5 optimal) bewertet für allgemeine Bildqualität, Artefakte, Darstellung relevanter anatomischer Strukturen (Muskeln/Sehnen der Mm supra-, infraspinatus, subscapularis, lange Bizepssehne, Labrum, glenoidaler/humeraler Knorpel, inferiores/mittleres glenohumerales Ligament) und diagnostische Sicherheit bei Pathologie. Statistik: Wilcoxon Test.
    Ergebnis: Die durchschnittliche Bewertung für die BLADE/kTSE betrug für Bildqualität/Artefakte 4,53/4,64, für die Darstellbarkeit anatomischer Strukturen/diagnostische Sicherheit einer Pathologie 4,64/4,22 (BLADE) und 4,45/4,15 (kTSE). Die Bildqualität war signifikant besser (p=0,001), die Artefaktbildung geringer (p=0,001) und die Darstellung anatomischer Strukturen besser (p=0.02) in der BLADE. Die allgemeine diagnostische Sicherheit war tendenziell besser für die BLADE (4,22 vs. 4,15) gemittelt über alle Pathologien, sie war signifikant (p=0,001) besser für Labrumläsionen.
    Schlussfolgerung: Die rotierende K-Raum Akquisition (BLADE) ermöglicht eine signifikante Reduktion von Bewegungsartefakten. Sie verbessert die Bildqualität, die anatomische Detailerkennbarkeit und partiell (Labrumläsionen) die diagnostische Sicherheit von Pathologien im Vergleich zu kTSE. BLADE bietet eine vielversprechende Alternative zur Untersuchung v.a. junger, alter, schwer kranker oder klaustrophobischer Patienten, die häufig unfreiwilligen Bewegungen während der MRT unterliegen.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and diagnostic quality of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) using a fast spin echo (FSE) sequence with BLADE k-space trajectory at 3 T in combination with a 32-channel head coil. The scan was compared with a standard spin echo (SE) echo-planar imaging (EPI) DWI and a high resolution SE EPI DWI sequence.
    Material and methods: Fourteen patients with acute brain ischemia were included in this Institutional Review Board approved study. All patients were evaluated with 3 different image sequences, using a 3 T scanner and a 32-channel head coil: (a) a standard SE EPI DWI (matrix size 192 x 192), (b) a high resolution SE EPI DWI (matrix size of 256 x 256) and (c) a FSE DWI BLADE (matrix size 192 x 192). The SNR of the 3 scans was compared in 10 healthy volunteers by a paired student t test. Image quality was evaluated with 4 dedicated questions in a blinded read: (1) The scans were ranked in terms of bulk susceptibility artifact. (2) The scan preference for diagnosis of any diffusion abnormality that might occur and (3) the preference for visualization of the diffusion abnormality actually present was determined. (4) The influence of bulk susceptibility on image evaluation for the diffusion abnormality present was assessed.
    Results: For visualization of the diffusion abnormality present, BLADE DWI was the scan sequence preferred most by both readers (reader 1: 41.7%, reader 2: 35.7%). For visualization of any diffusion abnormality present, BLADE DWI was the preferred scan in 13 of 14 cases for reader 1 (93%) and in 11 of 14 cases for reader 2 (78.6%). No high resolution SE EPI DWI scan was rated best by reader 1. Reader 2 rated the high resolution SE EPI DWI scan superior in only 1 of 56 judgments. The standard EPI DWI sequence (21.8 +/- 5.3) had in comparison to the high resolution EPI DWI (11.9 +/- 2.6) and the BLADE DWI scans (11.3 +/- 3.8) significantly higher SNR mean values.
    Conclusion: Our preliminary data demonstrates the feasibility of a FSE EPI DWI scan with radial-like k-space sampling, using a 32-channel coil at 3 T in acute brain ischemia. The BLADE DWI was the preferred scan for the detection of acute diffusion abnormalities because of the lack of bulk susceptibility artifacts.

    Abstract Ziele: Ziel dieser Studie die Evaluation der Machbarkeit und der Bildqualität morphologischer Bildgebung des Abdomens mit T2-gewichteten (T2w) TurboSpinEcho (TSE) Sequenzen mit rotierender Auslese von k-Raum Blöcken (BLADE Technik) im intraindividuellen Vergleich zur T2w-TSE mit konventioneller k-Raum Auslese.
    Methode: 7 gesunde Probanden (25–34 Jahre) und 17 Patienten (25–77 Jahre) mit vermuteter Nieren- oder Nierengefäßerkrankung wurden in diese prospektive intraindividuelle Vergleichsstudie eingeschlossen. Alle Probanden und Patienten wurden in zufälliger Reihenfolge mit einer Standard T2w-TSE Sequenz und einer T2w-BLADE TSE Sequenz bei 3,0T (Siemens Tim Trio) untersucht. Beide Sequenzen akquirierten die gleiche räumlicher Auflösung von 1,4×1,0×4,0mm 3 unter Verwendung von paralleler Bildgebung (Beschleunigungsfaktor 2) und prospektiver Atemtriggerung, wobei die Akquisitionszeit der T2w-BLADE TSE aufgrund des etwas längeren Echozugs mit 2:11min kürzer war als die der Standard-T2w-TSE mit 2:52min. Phantom Messungen wurden zur objektiven Bestimmung des Signal-zu-Rauschen Verhältnisses (SNR) durchgeführt. Zwei geblindete Radiologen bewerteten die Bildschärfe, das Artefaktverhalten und die Gesamtbildqualität beider Techniken unabhängig von einander. Zudem benannten sie die ihrer Ansicht nach bessere Technik. T-Tests (SNR), Wilcoxon-Tests und Kappa-Tests zur Bestimmung der Übereinstimmung wurden zur statistischen Auswertung durchgeführt.
    Ergebnis: Das SNR zeigte keine signifikanten Unterschiede zwischen beiden Techniken. Die Gesamtbildqualität wurde für die BLADE Sequenz von beiden Radiologen als besser eingestuft (p=n.s. und p=0.01). Es wurden weniger störende Artefakte mit der BLADE gefunden (p=0.01) und die Bildschärfe wurde bei der BLADE als besser eingestuft. Die BLADE-Sequenz war die bevorzugte Sequenz in 64,5% der Fälle, keine Sequenz wurde in 22,9% der Fälle bevorzugt. Der Kappa-Koeffizient der Übereinstimmung hinsichtlich der bevorzugten Sequenz lag bei 0,69.
    Schlussfolgerung: Die T2w-BLADE TSE scheint der T2w-TSE mit konventioneller k-Raum Auslese bei der Darstellung der nominelles Organe deutlich überlegen zu sein, was insbesondere durch die signifikant verminderte Anzahl von Artefakten und die höhere Bildschärfe begründet ist.
