2 What is qmri? Quantification = measure Quantity e.g. body mass reliable, accurate, reproducible, easy BSMS research Nov
3 Quantification Quantify to measure a quantity (size, weight, blood sugar, cholesterol ) Medical images have been qualitative Look; human assessment; experience needed Imaging is becoming quantitative Measure e.g. tumour size, water content, tissue destruction, volume of MS lesions U3A Oct 7th
4 Is accuracy important? Rotterdam Jan
5 Is accuracy important? In a single centre short study probably not In longer studies yes (withstand upgrades) In multi-centre studies yes (unless you can replicate the sources of inaccuracy at each site protocol matching ) Multi-centre studies: MAGNIMS MS 20 years qmri book pp35,36 and p132 (diffusion) Rotterdam Jan
6 Why does random error matter? Rotterdam Jan
7 Why is repeatability important? Rotterdam Jan
8 Rotterdam Jan
9 What causes random variation? Rotterdam Jan
10 B 1 errors Quality of parameter estimates depends on quality of acquisition B 1 and image noise often dominate parameter uncertainty [poor acquisition cannot be fixed by post-processing!] 1% error in flip angle FA gives 2% error in T 1 (in Variable Flip Angle method) Rotterdam Jan
11 Optimisation of acquisition procedure Rotterdam Jan
12 Image data analysis Region of interest Test a specific location (prior information and hypothesis) Histogram Whole brain; unbiased; for diffuse disease Voxel-Based Morphometry VBM Unbiased testing of many locations Each location can be correlated with external score (clinical, genetic, proteomic, cognitive) Texture dirty white matter tissue often becomes more heterogeneous in disease BSMS research Nov
13 Phantoms and healthy Controls for QA Rotterdam Jan
14 Why are physicist so interested in Repeatedly! scanning normals? Understand and minimise all the sources of variation Serial study Cross-sectional study Influence of instrumental variation on sample size in power calculation BSMS research Nov

21 Total lesion volume in Multiple Sclerosis trials Clinical trials are expensive and long Clinically variable disease; needs lots of subjects (100+) and time (1-3y) Increasingly MRI is used as a surrogate marker observe biological effects of disease and treatment more directly and quickly more specific MRI measures to indicate biology U3A Oct 7th

23 RMS displacement Diffusion Basics In a test tube, diffusion of water is largely unhindered (free) characterised by the diffusion constant In the brain diffusion is restricted or hindered characterised by the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) Water diffuses 60μ in 100ms; far enough to meet restrictions free diffusion restricted diffusion diffusion time 1/2 U3A Oct 7th
24 Diffusion Basics - 2 In a test tube, diffusion is largely isotropic (same in all directions) characterised by a single diffusion constant In the brain, diffusion may be anisotropic barriers to diffusion (e.g. axon walls, cellular microstructures) are oriented characterised by different ADCs in different directions Think CELERY! ADC y ADC x ADC z U3A Oct 7th
25 Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) The extent of diffusion can be characterised by an Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) Fewer barriers to diffusion results in greater diffusion coefficient Low ADC High ADC U3A Oct 7th
26 Fractional Anisotropy (FA) The direction of water diffusion is influenced by directional order in tissue e.g. white matter tracts FA can range from 0 (isotropy) to 1 (anisotropy) isotropic (low FA) anisotropic (high FA) U3A Oct 7th
