Objectives Isolated vertigo induced by posterior circulation ischemia (PCIV) can further progress into posterior circulation infarction. This study aimed to explore the diagnostic values of three-dimensional pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (3D-PCASL) combined with territorial arterial spin labeling (t-ASL) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in visualizing and evaluating PCIV, seeking improved diagnostic tools for clinical guidance. Methods 28 PCIVs (11 males, 17 females, aged from 55 to 83 years, mean age: 69.68 ± 9.01 years) and 28 healthy controls (HCs, 12 male, 16 female, aged from 56 to 87 years, mean age: 66.75 ± 9.86 years) underwent conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), MRA, 3D-PCASL, and t-ASL. We compared the incidence of anatomic variants of the posterior circle of Willis in MRA, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and anterior collateral blood flow on postprocessing maps obtained from 3D-PCASL and t-ASL sequence between PCIVs and HCs. Chi-square test and paired t-test were analyzed statistically with SPSS 24.0 software. Results 7 PCIVs (7/28, 25%) and 6 HCs (6/28, 21%) showed fetal posterior cerebral artery (FPCA) on MRA, including 1 HC, and 6 PCIVs with FPCA appeared hypoperfusion. 18 PCIVs (64%) and 2 HCs (7%) showed hypoperfusion in the posterior circulation (PC), including 1 HC and 7 PCIVs displayed anterior circulation collateral flow. Chi-square analyses demonstrated a difference in PC hypoperfusion between PCIVs and HCs, whether in the whole or FPCA-positive group assessment (P < 0.05). Paired t-test showed that the CBF values were significant difference for the bilateral PC asymmetrical perfusion in the PCIVs (P < 0.01). When compared to the bilateral PC symmetrical non-hypoperfusion area in the PCIVs and HCs, the CBF values were not significant (P > 0.05). The CBF values of the PC in PCIVs were lower than in HCs (P < 0.05). The reduction rate in the hypoperfusion side of the bilateral PC asymmetrical perfusion of the PCIVs ranged from 4% to 37%, while the HCs reduction rate was 7.7%. The average PC symmetrical perfusion average reduction rate of the PCIVs was 52.25%, while the HCs reduction rate was 42.75%. Conclusion 3D-PCASL is a non-invasive and susceptible method for detecting hypoperfusion in PC, serving as a potential biomarker of PCIV. The suspected hypoperfusion in PC may be attributed to the emergence of FPCA and the manifestation of anterior collateral flow when combining t-ASL and MRA sequences. These findings demonstrated that 3D-PCASL combined with t-ASL and MRA sequences are the potential method to identify PCIV, leading to early diagnosis of PCIV and reducing the risk of progressing into infarction.

Objective To explore the value of R2* value of 3.0T magnetic resonance IDEAL-IQ sequence in assessing the pathological grade of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods The imaging data of 32 patients who underwent liver 3.0T MRI (including IDEAL-IQ sequence) and were surgically resected and pathologically confirmed as HCC were retrospectively analyzed.On the R2* relaxation rate map of the IDEAL-IQ sequence,the R2* values of the HCC lesion and its background liver tissue were measured with the technique of region of interest (ROI).32 cases of HCC were divided into three groups according to the degree of postoperative pathological differentiation:poor,medium,and well;32 cases of HCC were divided into cirrhosis group and non-cirrhosis group according to postoperative pathology of background liver tissue.Independent sample t test was used to compare the difference of R2* between HCC and its background liver tissue;Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between R2* value of HCC and pathological grade;single factor variance LSD method was used to test the difference of R2* values among different pathological differentiation groups of HCC;the ROC curve was used to assess the R2* value for predicting different pathological grades of HCC and to determine the cut-off values.Results There were statistically significant differences in the R2* values between HCC and background liver tissue in the cirrhosis group (n=25) and non-cirrhosis group (n--7) [cirrhosis group:(28.28±6.26) Hz vs.(62.15±22.07) Hz;non-cirrhosis group:(23.73±5.64) Hz vs.(40.21±10.13) Hz] (P<0.05).The R2* value of HCC was lower than its background liver tissue in both two groups.The R2* value of HCC was moderately correlated with its pathological grade (rs=0.476, P<0.05).The R2* values of well (7 cases),medium (14 cases),and poor (11 cases) HCC differentiation groups were (36.13±5.48) Hz,(31.38±6.17) Hz,(20.24±5.75)Hz,respectively.There was statistically significant difference in the overall R2* value among the three groups (P<0.001).With the decrease of pathologic differentiation degree of HCC,the R2* value of HCC tended to decrease.The area under the curve (AUC) of the poorly differentiated HCC was estimated to be 0.843 using the R2* value,with the R2* value of 21.38 Hz as the cut-off value,the sensitivity was 83.6%,and the specificity was 74.8%.Conclusion The R2* value obtained by 3.0T MR DEAL-IQ sequence was moderately correlated with the pathological grade of HCC,and could accurately predict the degree of pathological differentiation of HCC before operation.
