        Decelerated Dark Flow Measured Using Steady-State Free Precession Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Specific Detection of Left Ventricular Myocardial Strain and Dyssynchrony in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

        Kawakubo Masateru,Nagao Michinobu,Nakao Risako,Watanabe Eri,Yoneyama Masami,Hagiwara Nobuhisa,Sakai Shuji 아시아심장혈관영상의학회 2022 Cardiovascular Imaging Asia Vol.6 No.1

        Objective: In steady-state free precession (SSFP) cine imaging, signal loss can be observed as accelerated dark flow in patients with valvular disease and decelerated dark flow (DDF) in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. In our study, we measured DDF with optical flow calculations and investigated the relationship between DDF and myocardial strain or intraventricular dyssynchrony. Materials and Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients with heart failure were retrospectively enrolled. In the short-axis orientation, the optical flow magnitude vector of the DDF was calculated over a cardiac cycle. The maximum value of the mean magnitude vector in the LV blood region was defined as the DDF index. The systolic circumferential strain (CS) of the LV free-wall, as well as the absolute difference in systolic timing of the LV free-wall and interventricular septum (LV dyssynchrony, LVD), was measured using the feature-tracking method. Spearman’s correlation coefficients (ρ) were calculated between DDF and CS or LVD. Results: Median and interquartile ranges (25th to 75th percentile) of measured DDF, CS, and LVD in 57 patients were 14.0 (10.3 to 20.4), -8.0% (-13.3 to -3.2), and 40 ms (21 to 99), respectively. There were statistically significant correlations between the values of DDF and CS as well as LVD (0.60 and 0.48; p<0.01 for both). Conclusion: Measurement of DDF may provide a specific clinical picture of myocardial strain and intraventricular dyssynchrony. Furthermore, it is possible to cost-effectively measure DDF without additional image acquisition during routine MR examination.

        Usefulness of Simultaneous Magnetic Resonance Neurography and Apparent T2 Mapping for the Diagnosis of Cervical Radiculopathy

        Enomoto Keigo,Eguchi Yawara,Sato Takashi,Norimoto Masaki,Inoue Masahiro,Watanabe Atsuya,Sakai Takayuki,Yoneyama Masami,Aoki Yasuchika,Orita Sumihisa,Narita Miyako,Inage Kazuhide,Shiga Yasuhiro,Umimura 대한척추외과학회 2022 Asian Spine Journal Vol.16 No.1

        Study Design: Retrospective observational study.Purpose: We investigated the correlation between T2 relaxation times and clinical symptoms in patients with cervical radiculopathy caused by cervical disk herniation.Overview of Literature: There are currently no imaging modalities that can assess the affected cervical nerve roots quantitatively.Methods: A total of 14 patients with unilateral radicular symptoms and five healthy subjects were subjected to simultaneous apparent T2 mapping and neurography with nerve-sheath signal increased with inked rest-tissue rapid acquisition of relaxation enhancement signaling (SHINKEI-Quant) using a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score for neck pain and upper arm pain was used to evaluate clinical symptoms. T2 relaxation times of the cervical dorsal root ganglia of the brachial plexus were measured bilaterally from C4 to C8 in patients with radicular symptoms and from C5 to C8 in healthy controls. The T2 ratio was calculated as the affected side to unaffected side.Results: When comparing nerve roots bilaterally at each spinal level, no significant differences in T2 relaxation times were found between patients and healthy subjects. However, T2 relaxation times of nerve roots in the patients with unilateral radicular symptoms were significantly prolonged on the involved side compared with the uninvolved side (p<0.05). The VAS score for upper arm pain was not significantly correlated with the T2 relaxation times, but was positively correlated with the T2 ratio.Conclusions: In patients with cervical radiculopathy, the SHINKEI-Quant technique can be used to quantitatively evaluate the compressed cervical nerve roots. The VAS score for upper arm pain was positively correlated with the T2 ratio. This suggests that the SHINKEI-Quant is a potential tool for the diagnosis of cervical nerve entrapment.
