Abstract

AbstractPurposeDemonstrate the feasibility and evaluate the performance of single‐shot diffusion trace‐weighted radial echo planar spectroscopic imaging (Trace DW‐REPSI) for quantifying the trace ADC in phantom and in vivo using a 3T clinical scanner.Theory and MethodsTrace DW‐REPSI datasets were acquired in 10 phantom and 10 healthy volunteers, with a maximum b‐value of 1601 s/mm2 and diffusion time of 10.75 ms. The self‐navigation properties of radial acquisitions were used for corrections of shot‐to‐shot phase and frequency shift fluctuations of the raw data. In vivo trace ADCs of total NAA (tNAA), total creatine (tCr), and total choline (tCho) extrapolated to pure gray and white matter fractions were compared, as well as trace ADCs estimated in voxels within white or gray matter‐dominant regions.ResultsTrace ADCs in phantom show excellent agreement with reported values, and in vivo ADCs agree well with the expected differences between gray and white matter. For tNAA, tCr, and tCho, the trace ADCs extrapolated to pure gray and white matter ranged from 0.18–0.27 and 0.26–0.38 μm2/ms, respectively. In sets of gray and white matter‐dominant voxels, the values ranged from 0.21 to 0.27 and 0.24 to 0.31 μm2/ms, respectively. The overestimated trace ADCs from this sequence can be attributed to the short diffusion time.ConclusionThis study presents the first demonstration of the single‐shot diffusion trace‐weighted spectroscopic imaging sequence using radial echo planar trajectories. The Trace DW‐REPSI sequence could provide an estimate of the trace ADC in a much shorter scan time compared to conventional approaches that require three separate measurements.
