Abstract:
Objective To compare three dimensional arterial spin labeling(3D-ASL) and dynamic susceptibility contrast-perfusion weighted imaging(DSC-PWI) in evaluating the cerebral hemodynamic of Moyamoya disease. Methods Approved by the institutional review board, 26 cases of Moyamoya patients who were diagnosed by DSA were enrolled. Diffusion weighted image, 3D-TOF-MRA, 3D-ASL, DSC-WPI, and T1WI were performed in 3.0 T MR scanner. ROI were positioned in the abnormal perfusion areas and the control area according to the arterial dominant territory to obtain quantitative parameters of perfusion. Perfusion parameters including cerebral blood flow(CBF) of ASL, cerebral blood flow(CBF), cerebral blood volume(CBV), mean transit time(MTT), and time to peak(TTP)of DSC-PWI , and relative parameters (ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, DSC-rTTP) that the ratio of abnormal perfusion area and the control area were calculated. Meanwhile, the areas of the lower perfusion region of ASL and TTP images in the same slice were measured. Difference of the above-mentioned parameters and areas was processed by paired Student′ t test. Furthermore, correlation of relative values of perfusion parameters(ASL-rCBF, DSC-rCBF, DSC-rCBV, DSC-rMTT, and DSC-rTTP) was processed by Pearson correlation test. Results There were significant statistics differences between values of ASL-CBF, DSC-MTT, and DSC-TTP in abnormal perfusion [(28.18 ± 10.19)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(7.98 ± 2.22)s,(29.93 ± 3.95)s] and the control areas [(49.50 ± 11.37)ml · 100 g-1 · min-1,(6.07 ± 1.11)s,(27.34 ± 2.58)s] (t=-12.818, 4.193, 6.163, all P<0.01). There was no significant statistics difference in the lower perfusion area between ASL-CBF [(5 729.63 ± 4 563.79) mm2]and DSC-TTP[(5 875.33 ± 4 723.08)mm2](t=-1.774,P>0.05). Furthermore, the Pearson correlation test showed significant linear dependence between ASL-rCBF(0.56±0.14)and DSC-rMTT(1.34± 0.42), and DSC-rTTP(1.09 ± 0.69)(r=-0.630,-0.748, P<0.01). Conclusions There is a correlation between 3D-ASL and DSC-PWI in assessing the magnitude and areas of the reduction of blood perfusion of Moyamoya patients. Moreover, the ASL technique possesses advantages of non-invasion use of the gadolinium contrast.
