简介:目的:通过比较STTR、准T2W1、重T2W13种序列最优参数扫描磁共振脊髓成像图像质量优劣(扫描时间一定),寻找一种磁共振脊髓成像最优参数序列。方法:首先将60例病员或自愿者分成3组,其中STIR扫描20例,反转时间(TI)取80ms、100ms、120ms3种参数;准T2WI扫描20例,翻转角(FA)取15°、20°、25°3种参数;重T2W1扫描20例,回波时间(TE)取150ms、200ms、250ms3种参数(TR固定在6000ms),扫描后再行磁共振脊髓成像,选择出各序列中磁共振脊髓成像最优参数组合。然后将50例病员或自愿者,同时进行STIR、准T2WI、重T2WI各序列最优参数组合扫描,扫描出的图像由甲、乙、丙3位专业技术人员对3种序列磁共振脊髓成像质量进行双盲法审阅片,根据图像质量评价标准,评价3种序列扫描磁共振脊髓成像最优序列。结果:STIR、准T2WI、重T2WI3种扫描序列分别取参数TI=100ms、FA=20°、TE=200ms磁共振脊髓成像时以重T2WI为最优序列。结论:磁共振脊髓成像技术最优参数组合及最优序列为:TR:600ms、TE=200ms的自旋回波(SE)重T2WI序列。
