 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 MRI of the normal adult brain b value diffusion-weighted imaging of Of: Guoxian Zhong, Xu Fanghong, Li Jinlin, Li policy [Abstract] Objective: To investigate the diffusion-weighted imaging in normal adults (DWI), different b values #8203;#8203;of brain tissue gray and white matter contrast, signal intensity and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. Methods: then selected as the study of 20 normal adult DWI technical inspection object. DWI scan sequences were: TR / TE / excitation frequency for the 8 284 ms/106.0 ms / 1 second, the proliferation of sensitive coefficient (b value) for the 500 s/mm2, a scan time corresponding to 40 s; TR / TE / excitation frequency for the 8 284 ms/112.8 ms / 1 second, b value of 800 s/mm2, a scan time of 49 s; TR / TE / excitation frequency is 6 817 ms/116.5 ms / 1 second, b value of 1 000 s/mm2, a scan time of 40 s; TR / TE / excitation frequency for the 7 647 ms/133.1 ms / 2 times, b is 2 000 s/mm2, a scan time of 1 min 8 s; TR / TE / excitation frequency for the 8 284 ms/145.8 ms / 4 time, b is 3 000 s/mm2, a scan time of 2 min 4 s. Results: ADC values #8203;#8203;with the b value increases. When the b value When less than 1 000 s/mm2, DWI signal on the gray and white matter contrast and T2WI, similar to the signal than white matter, gray matter; b value of 1 000 ~ 2 000 s/mm2, the gray and white matter signal contrast approximately equal; b value 3 000 s/mm2, the gray and white matter contrast inverted signal, image signal to noise ratio decreased. Conclusion: b value on diffusion-weighted imaging technology have a major impact, with different b values #8203;#8203;of the normal adult brain tissue signal intensity and ADC values #8203;#8203;are different.
