Quantitative variations in texture analysis features dependent on MRI scanning parameters: A phantom model.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the influence of MRI scanning parameters on texture analysis features.

Methods

Publicly available data from the Reference Image Database to Evaluate Therapy Response (RIDER) project sponsored by The Cancer Imaging Archive included MRIs on a phantom comprised of 18 25-mm doped, gel-filled tubes, and 1 20-mm tube containing 0.25 mM Gd-DTPA (EuroSpinII Test Object5, Diagnostic Sonar, Ltd, West Lothian, Scotland). MRIs performed on a 1.5 T GE HD, 1.5 T Siemens Espree (VB13), or 3.0 T GE HD with TwinSpeed gradients with an eight-channel head coil included T1WIs with multiple flip angles (flip-angle = 2,5,10,15,20,25,30), TR/TE = 4.09-5.47/0.90-1.35 ms, NEX = 1 and DCE with 30° flip-angle, TR/TE=4.09-5.47/0.90-1.35, and NEX = 1,4.
