Intravoxel incoherent motion and diffusion kurtosis imaging at 3T MRI: Application to ischemic stroke

Résumé

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The DKI-IVIM model that incorporates DKI (diffusional kurtosis imaging) into the IVIM (Intravoxel Incoherent Motion) concept was investigated to assess its utility for both enhanced diffusion characterization and perfusion measurements in ischemic stroke at 3 T. METHODS: Fifteen stroke patients (71 ± 11 years old) were enrolled and DKI-IVIM analysis was performed using 9 b-values from 0 to 1500 s/mm(2) chosen with the Cramer-Rao-Lower-Bound optimization approach. Pseudo-diffusion coefficient D*, perfusion fraction f, blood flow-related parameter fD*, the diffusion coefficient D and an additional parameter, the kurtosis, K were determined in the ischemic lesion and controlateral normal tissue based on a region of interest approach. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and arterial spin labelling (ASL) cerebral blood flow (CBF) parameters were also assessed and parametric maps were obtained for all parameters. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed for all diffusion parameters with a significant decrease for D (p < 0.0001), ADC (p < 0.0001), and a significant increase for K (p < 0.0001) in the ischemic lesions of all patients. f decreased significantly in these regions (p = 0.0002). The fD* increase was not significant (p = 0.56). The same significant differences were found with a motion correction except for fD* (p = 0.47). CBF significantly decreased in the lesions. ADC was significantly positively correlated with D (p < 0.0001) and negatively with K (p = 0.0002); K was also negatively significantly correlated with D (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: DKI-IVIM model enables for simultaneous cerebral perfusion and enhanced diffusion characterization in an acceptable clinically acquisition time for the ischemic stroke diagnosis with the additional kurtosis factor estimation, that may better reflect the microstructure heterogeneity.
