Comparison between High-Resolution CT and MRI Using a Very Short Echo Time in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis with Extra Focus on Mosaic Attenuation

Abstract: Background: It would be beneficial to establish pulmonary MRI as a complementary approach to CT for direct visualization of mosaic perfusion, bullae, and emphysema in patients with cystic fibrosis. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare both modalities, CT and MRI, using the Helbich-Bhalla score with a special focus on reliable detection of a mosaic pattern. Methods: Out of 51 patients examined by MRI on a 1.5-Tesla system during a period of 2 years, 19 patients were scheduled for additional low-… Show more

“…Recently, ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI with 3D radial k ‐space trajectories has shown promise in overcoming these obstacles. However, experience with 3D radial UTE chest MR is limited to animal models and small human studies, mostly in adults . Moreover, 3D radial acquisitions suffer from inherent inefficiencies in fully populating k ‐space, leading to trade‐offs between longer scan times and data undersampling with lesser resolution …”

[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Moreover, 3D radial acquisitions suffer from inherent inefficiencies in fully populating k-space, leading to trade-offs between longer scan times and data undersampling with lesser resolution. 24 UTE imaging utilizing conical k-space sampling permits greater scan efficiency than do radial acquisitions.…”

“…Although CT is considered the gold standard for as sessing CF patients, there may be a role for use of complementary imaging modalities such as pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [32] . MRI is less sensitive for detection of small airways disease (SAD) but is superior for assessing functional change such as changes in pulmonary perfusion [33,34] .…”
