Determination of oxygen r 1 at 3 Tesla using samples with a concentration range of dissolved oxygen
Magnetic Resonance Materials in Physics, Biology and Medicine(2019)
摘要
Objective To investigate the sensitivity of modified Look–Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) to measure changes in dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in water samples and to calculate sequence-specific relaxivity ( r 1 m ) and limit of detection (LOD). Materials and methods Ten water samples with a range of DO concentrations were scanned at 3 T using two variations of MOLLI schemes. Using linear regression the r 1 of DO was estimated from the measured DO concentrations and T 1 relaxation rates ( R 1 ). The results were combined with previously reported values on in vivo stability measures of the MOLLI sequences and used to estimate a LOD. Results DO concentrations ranged from 0.5 to 21.6 mg L −1 . A linear correlation between DO and R 1 was obtained with both MOLLI sequences, with an average correlation coefficient ( R 2 ) 0.9 and an average estimated r 1 ( r̂_1 ) of 4.45 × 10 −3 s −1 mg −1 L. Estimated LOD was ≈ 10 mg L −1 . Conclusion MOLLI T 1 -mapping sequences may be used for detecting dissolved oxygen in vivo at 3 T with an r̂_1 in the range 4.18–4.8 × 10 −3 s −1 mg −1 L and a corresponding LOD for dissolved oxygen of approximately 10 mg L −1 . MOLLI-based T 1 mapping may be a useful non-invasive tool for quantification of in vivo changes of DO concentration during oxygen challenges.
