abstract = {To explore the value and reproducibility of a novel
magnetic resonance based attenuation correction (MRAC) using
a CAIPIRINHA-accelerated T1-weighted Dixon 3D-VIBE sequence
for whole-body PET/MRI compared to the clinical standard.The
PET raw data of 19 patients from clinical routine were
reconstructed with standard MRAC (MRACstd) and the novel
MRAC (MRACcaipi), a prototype CAIPIRINHA accelerated Dixon
3D-VIBE sequence, both acquired in 19 s/bed position. Volume
of interests (VOIs) for liver, lung and all voxels of the
total image stack were created to calculate standardized
uptake values (SUVmean) followed by inter-method agreement
(Passing-Bablok regression, Bland-Altman analysis). A
voxel-wise SUV comparison per patient was performed for
intra-individual correlation between MRACstd and MRACcaipi.
Difference images (MRACstd-MRACcaipi) of attenuation maps
and SUV images were calculated. The image quality of
in/opposed-phase water and fat images obtained from
MRACcaipi was assessed by two readers on a 5-point
Likert-scale including intra-class coefficients for
inter-reader agreement.SUVmean correlations of VOIs
demonstrated high linearity (0.95<Spearman's rho<1,
p<0.0001, respectively), substantiated by voxel-wise SUV
scatter-plots (1.79×10(8) pixels). Outliers could be
explained by different physiological conditions between the
scans such as different segmentation of air-containing
tissue, lungs, kidneys, metal implants, diaphragm edge or
small air bubbles in the gastrointestinal tracts that moved
between MRAC acquisitions. Nasal sinuses and the trachea
were better segmented in MRACcaipi. High-resolution T1w
Dixon 3D VIBE images were acquired in all cases and could be
used for PET/MRI fusion. MRACcaipi images were of high
diagnostic quality (4.2±0.8) with 0.92-0.96 intra-class
correlation.The novel prototype MRACcaipi extends the value
for attenuation correction by providing a high spatial
resolution DIXON-based dataset suited for diagnostic
assessment towards time-efficient whole-body PET/MRI.},
