Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain a useful diagnostic image by increasing the signal strength of the peripheral artery, was to use a T1 shortening effect of gadolinium contrast agents to improve the disadvantages of the phase image. From october to december 2014 thirty patients were underwent the MRI scanning, except for heart disease. Research method was evaluated comparing the image after gadolinium contrast MR image acquisition step before evaluating the difference between the signal intensity for T1 shortening effect. In frontal lobe 19.45%, temporal lobe 23.09%, occipital lobe 25.45%, parietal lobe 18.82%, cerebellum 20.93% after peripheral arterial signal strength results of gadolinium contrast agent injection was increased significantly after injection of gadolinium both statistically significant. After injecting a contrast agent gadolinium in SWI by increasing the signal strength of the T1 shortening effect can be obtained when using the phase image to give a useful image in diagnosis and treatment.

본 연구는 가돌리늄 조영제의 T1 shortening effect를 이용하여 말초동맥으로 갈수록 신호강도가 낮아지는 위상영상의 단점을 근본적으로 개선함으로써 진단에 유용한 영상을 획득하고자 하였다. 연구기간은 2014년 10월부터 동년 12월까지 시행하였으며, 심장질환자를 제외한 AVM 환자 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구방법은 T1 shortening effect에 따른 신호강도의 차이를 알아보기 위해 가돌리늄 조영제 주입 전 후 자화강조영상을 획득한 다음, 위상영상을 비교평가 하였다. 연구결과, 가돌리늄 조영제 주입 전, 후 뇌실질 내 말초동맥의 신호강도는 가돌리늄 조영제 주입 후가 주입 전에 비해 전두엽 19.45%, 측두엽 23.09%, 두정엽 18.82%, 후두엽 25.45%, 소뇌 20.93%로 증가 하였고 통계적으로 유의하였다. 그러므로 위상영상 획득 시 가돌리늄 조영제의 T1 shortening effect를 이용하면 위상영상의 단점을 보완할 수 있어 진단 및 치료에 유용한 영상을 획득할 수 있으리라 사료된다.
