Abstract
PURPOSE: To validate two neonatal cerebral venous oxygenation (Yv ) MRI techniques, T2 relaxation under phase contrast (TRUPC) and accelerated TRUPC (aTRUPC) MRI, with oxygenation measured with direct blood sampling. METHODS: In vivo experiments were performed on seven healthy newborn piglets. For each piglet, a catheter was placed in the superior sagittal sinus to obtain venous blood samples for blood gas oximetry measurement as a gold standard. During the MRI experiment, three to five venous oxygenation levels were achieved in each piglet by varying inhaled O2 content and breathing rate. Under each condition, Yv values of the superior sagittal sinus measured by TRUPC, aTRUPC, and blood gas oximetry were obtained. The Yv quantification in TRUPC and aTRUPC used a standard bovine blood calibration model. The aTRUPC scan was repeated twice to assess its reproducibility. Agreements among TRUPC Yv , aTRUPC Yv , and blood gas oximetry were evaluated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and paired Student's t-test. RESULTS: The mean hematocrit was 23.6 ± 6.5% among the piglets. Across all measurements, Yv values were 51.9 ± 21.3%, 54.1 ± 18.8%, and 53.7 ± 19.2% for blood gas oximetry, TRUPC and aTRUPC, respectively, showing no significant difference between any two methods (P > .3). There were good correlations between TRUPC and blood gas Yv (ICC = 0.801; P < .0001), between aTRUPC and blood gas Yv (ICC = 0.809; P < .0001), and between aTRUPC and TRUPC Yv (ICC = 0.887; P < .0001). The coefficient of variation of aTRUPC Yv was 8.1 ± 9.9%. CONCLUSION: The values of Yv measured by TRUPC and aTRUPC were in good agreement with blood gas oximetry. These findings suggest that TRUPC and aTRUPC can provide accurate quantifications of Yv in major cerebral veins.
