ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

To develop an inline automatic quality control to achieve consistent diagnostic image quality with subject-specific scan time, and to demonstrate this method for 2D phase-contrast flow MRI to reach a predetermined SNR.

METHODS:

We designed a closed-loop feedback framework between image reconstruction and data acquisition to intermittently check SNR (every 20 s) and automatically stop the acquisition when a target SNR is achieved. A free-breathing 2D pseudo-golden-angle spiral phase-contrast sequence was modified to listen for image-quality messages from the reconstructions. Ten healthy volunteers and 1 patient were imaged at 0.55 T. Target SNR was selected based on retrospective analysis of cardiac output error, and performance of the automatic SNR-driven "stop" was assessed inline.

RESULTS:

SNR calculation and automated segmentation was feasible within 20 s with inline deployment. The SNR-driven acquisition time was 2 min 39 s ± 67 s (aorta) and 3 min ± 80 s (main pulmonary artery) with a min/max acquisition time of 1 min 43 s/4 min 52 s (aorta) and 1 min 43 s/5 min 50 s (main pulmonary artery) across 6 healthy volunteers, while ensuring a diagnostic measurement with relative absolute error in quantitative flow measurement lower than 2.1% (aorta) and 6.3% (main pulmonary artery).

CONCLUSION:

The inline quality control enables subject-specific optimized scan times while ensuring consistent diagnostic image quality. The distribution of automated stopping times across the population revealed the value of a subject-specific scan time.
