This study optimized uterine peristalsis cine MRI at 3.0T by finding that 5-7 mm slice thickness, 3-minute scan time, and 12-15x playback rate yield optimal image quality and peristalsis observation.

Abstract

PURPOSE: To determine the optimal slice thickness, playback rate, and scan time for uterine peristalsis with 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: ) for 6 minutes. Subjective image quality score, signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of those MR images were evaluated by two radiologists independently. The number, intensity, and direction of uterine peristalsis with different thickness were compared at various playback rates. Also, the peristalsis frequency was counted and compared in different acquisition durations (1-6 minutes). RESULTS: (P < 0.05). The peristalsis frequency at 3, 4, 5, 6 minutes was significantly higher than that at 1 minute and 2 minutes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: We recommend a slice thickness of 5 mm or 7 mm and a scan time of 3 minutes for uterine peristalsis with 3.0T MRI, and a playback rate of 12× or 15× the actual speed for peristalsis observation.
