abstract = {Little is known of the influence of scanner field strength
on quantitative diffusivity variables, especially kurtosis
in healthy ovaries.To evaluate the influence of scanner
field strength on quantitative diffusion variables in pelvic
MRI of the ovaries.This prospective, single-centre study
consisted of repeated 1.5-T and 3-T examinations in 30
female volunteers (mean age=27.9 years, age range=20.3-45.2
years) from July 2017 to September 2019. Multi b-value DWI
0, 50, 100, 800, 1500, 2000 s/mm2 was acquired over three
timepoints during the menstrual cycle. Ovaries were
segmented at b = 1500 s/mm2. Median apparent diffusion
coefficient (ADC) and advanced kurtosis parameters Dapp and
Kapp were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed
with the variations of diffusivity variables being compared
between 1.5-T and 3-T MRI using a Mann-Whitney rank-sum
test.Median ADC and Dapp (µm²/ms) did not statistically
differ. Median ADC were 1.509 (range=1.371-1.610), 1.619
(range=1.463-1.747), and 1.511 (range=1.423-1.639) at 1.5 T;
1.542 (range=1.428-1.682), 1.658 (range=1.510-1.806), and
1.572 (range=1.455-1.709) at 3 T (P = 0.14, 0.19, and 0.07),
whereas median Dapp were 2.024 (range=1.913-2.152), 2.192
(range=2.010-2.327), and 2.045 (range=1.958-2.170) at 1.5 T;
2.013 (range=1.952-2.188), 2.179 (range=2.018-2.327), and
2.082 (range=1.959-2.194) at 3 T (P = 0.77, 0.99, and 0.34)
for timepoints 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Statistical
comparison of Kapp revealed significant differences for all
timepoints: 0.629 (range=0.595-0.652), 0.604
(range=0.574-0.651), and 0.622 (range=0.581-0.664) at 1.5 T;
0.601 (range=0.563-0.626), 0.567 (range=0.526-0.633), and
0.599 (range=0.541-0.650) at 3 T (P < 0.001, 0.005, and
0.03).Diffusivity mapping in the ovaries provides similar
absolute median diffusion values, but statistically
significant differences in absolute kurtosis values between
1.5 T and 3 T.},
