3D motion strategy for online volumetric thermometry using simultaneous multi-slice EPI at 1.5T: an evaluation study

Résumé

Purpose: In presence of respiratory motion, temperature mapping is altered by in-plane and throughplane displacements between successive acquisitions together with periodic phase variations. Fast 2D Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) sequence can accommodate intra-scan motion, but limited volume coverage and inter-scan motion remain a challenge during free-breathing acquisition since position offsets can arise between the different slices. Method: To address this limitation, we evaluated a 2D simultaneous multi-slice EPI sequence with multiband (MB) acceleration during radiofrequency ablation on a mobile gel and in the liver of a volunteer (no heating). The sequence was evaluated in terms of resulting inter-scan motion, temperature uncertainty and elevation, potential false-positive heating and repeatability. Lastly, to account for potential through-plane motion, a 3D motion compensation pipeline was implemented and evaluated. Results: In-plane motion was compensated whatever the MB factor and temperature distribution was found in agreement during both the heating and cooling periods. No obvious false-positive temperature was observed under the conditions being investigated. Repeatability of measurements results in a 95% uncertainty below 2 C for MB1 and MB2. Uncertainty up to 4.5 C was reported with MB3 together with the presence of aliasing artifacts. Lastly, fast simultaneous multi-slice EPI combined with 3D motion compensation reduce residual out-of-plane motion. Conclusion: Volumetric temperature imaging (12 slices/700 ms) could be performed with 2 C accuracy or less, and offer tradeoffs in acquisition time or volume coverage. Such a strategy is expected to increase procedure safety by monitoring large volumes more rapidly for MR-guided thermotherapy on mobile organs.
