abstract = {The aim of this study was to develop and verify a method to
obtain good temporal resolution T2-weighted 4-dimensional
(4D-T2w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by using motion
information from T1-weighted 4D (4D-T1w) MRI, to support
treatment planning in MR-guided radiotherapy.Ten patients
with primary non-small cell lung cancer were scanned at 1.5
T axially with a volumetric T2-weighted turbo spin echo
sequence gated to exhalation and a volumetric T1-weighted
stack-of-stars spoiled gradient echo sequence with golden
angle spacing acquired in free breathing. From the latter,
20 respiratory phases were reconstructed using the recently
developed 4D joint MoCo-HDTV algorithm based on the
self-gating signal obtained from the k-space center. Motion
vector fields describing the respiratory cycle were obtained
by deformable image registration between the respiratory
phases and projected onto the T2-weighted image volume. The
resulting 4D-T2w volumes were verified against the 4D-T1w
volumes: an edge-detection method was used to measure the
diaphragm positions; the locations of anatomical landmarks
delineated by a radiation oncologist were compared and
normalized mutual information was calculated to evaluate
volumetric image similarity.High-resolution 4D-T2w MRI was
obtained. Respiratory motion was preserved on calculated
4D-T2w MRI, with median diaphragm positions being consistent
with less than 6.6 mm (2 voxels) for all patients and less
than 3.3 mm (1 voxel) for 9 of 10 patients. Geometrical
positions were coherent between 4D-T1w and 4D-T2w MRI as
Euclidean distances between all corresponding anatomical
landmarks agreed to within 7.6 mm (Euclidean distance of 2
voxels) and were below 3.8 mm (Euclidean distance of 1
voxel) for 355 of 470 pairs of anatomical landmarks.
Volumetric image similarity was commensurate between 4D-T1w
and 4D-T2w MRI, as mean percentage differences in normalized
mutual information (calculated over all respiratory phases
and patients), between corresponding respiratory phases of
4D-T1w and 4D-T2w MRI and the tie-phase of 4D-T1w and
3-dimensional T2w MRI, were consistent to $0.41\%$ ±
$0.37\%.$ Four-dimensional T2w MRI displayed tumor extent,
structure, and position more clearly than corresponding
4D-T1w MRI, especially when mobile tumor sites were adjacent
to organs at risk.A methodology to obtain 4D-T2w MRI that
retrospectively applies the motion information from 4D-T1w
MRI to 3-dimensional T2w MRI was developed and verified.
Four-dimensional T2w MRI can assist clinicians in
delineating mobile lesions that are difficult to define on
4D-T1w MRI, because of poor tumor-tissue contrast.},
