Image quality and diagnostic capability to assess liver
function of T1ρ map were compared among three different
methods: continuous wave pulse(CW), stretched type
adiabatic heperbolic scant 8(HS8) pulse with pulse
duration of 5ms(adiabatic-HS8-5) and adiabatic-HS8 pulse
with pulse duration of 10ms(adiabatic-HS8-10). There was
no significant difference in image quality scores
between adiabatic-HS8-5 and adiabatic-HS8-10, but both
showed significantly higher scores comparing with
CW-T1ρ(p<0.05). Regarding the assessment of liver
function, CW showed the highest correlation coefficient
between T1ρ relaxation and ICG-R15 among three methods.
Two adiabatic-HS8-5 pulses allowed generating
homogeneous T1ρ maps, but CW was more advantageous to
assess liver function.
