Abstract

MRI scans in the abdominal area are difficult to achieve optimal images due to artificial respiration. Among 45 patients (male:female = 30:15) who underwent abdominal MRI examination, a metronome-based examination method was studied for patients whose breathing is difficult and difficult to examine. The images examined without using a metronome were divided into group A, and the images examined using a metronome were divided into group B. Image quality improvement (30%) and inspection time (approximately 50 seconds) were reduced in images using metronome. During abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (ABD MRI), the images examined using a metronome had differences in quality and examination time compared to the unused images. It is more effective to use a metronome brace that controls the patient's respiratory rate during abdominal magnetic resonance imaging under respiratory induction in patients with difficulty in respiratory-gated.

복부 분야 MRI 검사는 호흡에 의한 인공물로 인해 최적의 영상 구현이 어렵다. 복부 MRI 검사를 받은 총 45명 (남자:여자 = 30:15) 중 호흡이 일정하지 않아 검사가 어려운 환자를 대상으로 메트로놈을 이용한 검사 방법에 대하여 연구 하였다. 메트로놈을 사용하지 않고 검사 한 영상을 A 그룹, 메트로놈을 사용하여 검사 한 영상을 B그룹으로 나누었다. 메트로놈을 사용한 영상에서 화질 향상이 약 30% 증대 되었고, 검사시간이 약 50초 감소되었다. 복부자기공명영상(ABD MRI) 검사 시 메트로놈(Metronome)을 사용하여 검사 한 영상이 사용하지 않은 영상에 비하여 화질과 검사시간 차이가 있었다. 호흡동조가 어려운 환자의 호흡 유도 하(RTr Scan) 복부 자기 공명 영상(Abdomen MRI) 검사 시 환자의 호흡수를 조절하는 메트로놈 (Metronome) 보조기를 사용하면 더 효과적이다.
