초록

1.5T에서 경직장 코일과 3.0T의 위상 배열 코일을 이용하여 신호대 잡음비를 비교하여 3.0T의 위상 배열 코일의 유용성을 제시한다. 전립선암으로 진단받은 환자 40명을 대상으로 1.5T MR scanner에서는 경직장 표면 코일과 3.0T MR scanner에서는 위상 배열 코일을 이용하여 T2 강조 영상, T1 강조영상, 확산 강조 영상을 각각 획득 후 전립선의 Central Zone(CZ)과 Peripheral Zone(PZ)에서 Right Peripheral Zone(PZ)과 Left Peripheral Zone(PZ) 세 부위에서 신호 강도(signal intensity)측정을 하였다. 정량적 분석방법으로 관심영역의 신호대 잡음비(signal to noise ratio)를 구하고 평균화 하여 1.5T MR scanner로 획득한 그룹과 3.0T MR scanner로 획득한 그룹에서의 신호대 잡음비를 비교하였다. 3.0T MR scanner에서 위상 배열 코일을 사용한 경우 1.5T MR scanner에서 경직장 코일을 사용한 경우보다 신호대 잡음비가 증가됨을 알 수 있었다.

The effectiveness of 3.0T phase array coil images was tested by comparing signal-to-noise ratios for the same coil images relative to 1.5T endorectal coil images. Signal intensities were measured in the three regions of prostate, central and peripheral (right and left) after 40 patients with prostate cancer were imaged during the period between Jan. 2008 and Oct. 2009 with T2 W, T1 W, and DW images obtained respectively using endorectal coil on a 1.5T MR scanner and phase array coil on a 3.0T MR scanner. For quantitative analysis, comparisons of average SNRs for the same ROIs were made between groups scanned with a 1.5T and a 3.0T MR scanner. The signal-to-noise ratios were shown to increase more sharply when using a phase array coil at a 3.0T MR scanner compared to using an endorectal coil at a 1.5T MR scanner.
