摘要
背景:目前研究腰椎间盘退变的磁共振分子影像主要有T2mapping和T1ρ两种技术。目的:探讨1.5TMR用于新西兰大白兔腰椎间盘T2mapping成像的可行性。方法:采用1.5TMR设备进行新西兰大白兔腰椎间盘磁共振T2mapping成像,利用后处理工作站测量感兴趣区的腰椎间盘组织T2值。结果与结论:在1.5TMR设备上可获得满意的3月龄新西兰大白兔腰椎间盘矢状位与冠状位T2-map图像。PfirrmannⅠ级的L_(4/5)、L_(5/6)及L_(6/7)椎间盘中央部髓核组织T2值分别为(104.6±14.0)ms,(109.1±13.8)ms和(109.5±15.1)ms;腹侧纤维环T2值分别为(82.1±9.5)ms,(80.4±11.2)ms和(79.9±10.6)ms;背侧纤维环T2值分别为(85.8±11.9)ms,(85.1±12.1)ms和(85.3±9.3)ms。在PfirrmannⅠ级的L_(4/5)、L_(5/6)及L_(6/7)三组间椎间盘髓核组织、腹侧纤维环和背侧纤维环的T2值差异均无显著性意义(P>0.05)。然而同一椎间盘内髓核组织T2值高于纤维环T2值(P<0.01),而腹侧与背侧纤维环之间的T2值差异无显著性意义(P>0.05)。可见在1.5TMR设备上获得的兔腰椎间盘T2值可用于定量评估椎间盘组织信号。
BACKGROUND: The magnetic resonance molecular imaging used in the research of lumbar disc degeneration includes T2 mapping and Tlp technologies at present. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of 1.5 T MR equipment on T2 mapping of New Zealand white rabbits lumbar disc. METHODS: T2 mapping images of New Zealand white rabbit lumbar discs were obtained on 1.5 T MR equipment. The regions of interest T2 values of lumbar discs were measured with post-processing workstation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Sagittal and coronal T2 maps of 3-month rabbit discs were obtained satisfactorily on 1.5 T MR equipment. The regions of interest T2 values of nucleus pulposus in L4/5, L5/6 and L6/7 discs were (104.6±14.0) ms, (109.1±13.8) ms and (109.5±15.1 ) ms respectively at Pfirrmann I grade. The regions of interest T2 values of anterior annulus fibrosus in L4/5, L5/6 and L6/7 discs were (82.1±9.5) ms, (80.4± 11.2) ms and (79.9±10.6) ms respectively, and T2 values of posterior annulus fibrosus in L4/5, L5/6 and L6n discs were (85.8±11.9) ms, (85.1±12.1) ms and (85.3:1:9.3) ms respectively. There were no significant differences in T2 values of nucleus pulposus, anterior annulus fibrosus and posterior annulus fibrosus in L4/5, L/6 and L6/7 discs at Pfirrmann I grade (P 〉 0.05). However, the T2 values of nucleus pulposus were higher than those of annulus fibrosus in the same discs (P 〈 0.01), and there were no significant differences in T2 values between the anterior and posterior annulus fibrosus (P 〉 0.05). The T2 values of rabbit lumbar discs obtained on 1.5 T MR equipmentcan be used for quantitative assessment of intervertebral disc signal.
