This study investigated T and MR images of calcifications of various types and concentrations. Methods: We analyzed T and MR images of two cases of bilateral basal ganglia calcifications and experimental suspensions of calcifications of different types and concentrations. Results: The density of T calcifications increased in proportion to their concentration regardless of their type. However, the MR signals differed with the types and concentrations of calcification. high signal was one of the most noticeable signs on T1-weighted MR images for calcium phosphate, and it increased for concentrations up to 0.2 g/ml before leveling off. The signal for all types of calcification decreased on T2-weighted and especially fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLIR) images. onclusions: High signals are characteristic of calcification on T1-weighted MR images, and are often stronger than those on T images. low signal appears consistently on FLIR MR images regardless of the calcification type. These findings might be helpful in evaluating calcifications apparent in MR images.

High signals appear on a broader area in T1-weighted MR images than on T images.. The signal intensities on both sides of the basal ganglia decrease slightly on MR images. D. Decreased signals appear on both sides of the basal ganglia on fluid attenuated inversion recovery T2-weighted MR images. 파겔은수분을함유함과동시에시약들이가라앉지않게하기위하여사용되었다. 농도는시약의무게를전체부피로나눈 g/ml 를사용하였고농도의범위는시약이함유되지않은대조표준 (0) 에서 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 g/ml 으로하여각각을유리용기에담아 T와 MRI 영상을얻었다. 이후에인산칼슘만대조표준, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 g/ml 의농도로만들어 MRI 영상을얻었다. 실험에서 T (prospeed, GE, US) 는집단별로촬영하여그밀도를측정하였고, MRI (magnum 1.0, medison, Korea) 는 T1 강조영상 (spin echo sequence, TR 450 ms, TE 12.7 ms), T2 강조영상 (fast spin echo sequence, echo train length 12, TR 4400 ms, TE 108 ms) 과 FLIR 영상 (fast spin echo sequence, echo train length 8, TR 9000 ms, TI 2200 ms, TE 96 ms) 을얻어각각의상대명암도를측정하였다.

T2 강조영상에서인산칼슘은 0.1 g/ml 까지는신호가약간증가하나그후는감소경향이있었고, 탄산칼슘은뚜렷한변화가없었으며, 수산기인회석은농도의증가에따라신호가감소하는경향이확실했다. FLIR 영상에서는 T2 강조영상에서보였던양상이더뚜렷하게나타났다 (Fig. 6). 두번째실험의결과로이전실험의 MRI 에서일정한경향의신호를보였던인산칼슘을일정간격의농도로만들어서얻은 MRI (Fig. 7) 에서인산칼슘은 T1 강조영상에서 0.2 g/ml 까지 신호의증가가뚜렷하고. 그이후는비슷한고신호강도를유지하였으며, T2 강조영상과 FLIR 영상에서는 0.1 g/ml 이후농도의증가에따라신호의감소경향이뚜렷하였다 (Fig. 8). 고찰 MRI T1 강조영상에서두개내석회화가고신호강도를보인다는보고와실험들은이전부터있었다. Dell 등은가성부갑상샘기능저하증환자의 MRI T1 강조영상에서바닥핵에고신호강도가보이는석회화를갖는경우를보고하고인산칼슘의현탁액을사용한실험모형에서농도가증가함에따라 T1 및 T2 이완시간이감소한다고하였다. 1 또한 Henkelman 등은뇌조직에 MRI T1 강조영상에서고신호강도를보이는석회화침착이있는경우들을제시한후, 미립자로된수산화인회석과탄산칼슘을다양한농도로만들어 T1과 T2 이완성과표면적을구하여표면적이큰석회화입자가큰 T1 이완성을보이고 T2는감소하였으 Figure 5. MR images of calcium suspensions with various concentrations arranged in the same sequence as Figure 3.. T1-weighted images of the calcium phosphate group show a distinct high signal at higher concentration.. T2-weighted images show that the signal decreases as the concentration increases in the hydroxylapatite group. The rest shows low signals at higher density.. Fluid attenuated inversion recovery images show a clear decrease of signals as the concentration increases in the hydroxylapatite and calcium carbonate groups. low signal is also observed with the calcium phosphate group with a high concentration. 160

Relative signal intensities of calcium phosphate suspensions with different concentrations. On T1-weighted MR images, the signal of calcium phosphate increased up to the concentration of 0.2 g/ml before leveling off, whereas the signal clearly decreased gradually on T2-weighted and FLIR MR images. 이후로두개내석회화는 T1 강조 MRI 에서흔하지않게고신호강도를유발하는병변으로보고되었다. 6-9,10,11 이들은모두이전의연구 1-4 에이론적바탕을둔것으로더이상의실험적연구나새로운사실의제안은찾을수없었다. 저자들의연구에서세가지의석회화를각각일정한농도별로만든현탁액으로 T와 MRI 를하여석회화는종류에큰관계없이농도가증가하면 T에서밀도가증가하나 MRI 에서는종류나농도에따라서다양하게나타나며일정농도이상에서는 T1 강조영상에서고신호강도를, T2 강조영상이나 FLIR 영상에서는저신호강도가나타나는것을확인하였다. 석회화의종류에관계없는 MRI 소견은 FLIR 영상에서농도의증가에따라신호강도가감소하는것이다. 그리고 T1 강조영상에서고신호강도를보이는것이가장눈에띄는소견으로, J Korean Neurol ssoc Volume 27 No. 2,

5 최영칠신현준최진영 인산칼슘의농도가증가함에따라신호강도가증가하였으나, 0.2 g/ml 이상에서는거의비슷한고신호강도를보였다. 또한이경우 T2 강조영상과 FLIR 영상에서는농도가증가함에따라신호강도가감소하였다. 결론적으로석회화는 T에서는종류에관계없이농도의증가에따라고밀도로나타나나, MRI 에서는종류나농도에따라다양하게나타나고그중 FLIR 영상에서농도에따른신호강도의감소가거의일정한소견이며, 종류와농도에따라 T1 강조영상에서고신호강도를보이는경우가있음을알수있었다. 상기결과는 MRI 에서석회화의평가에도움을줄수있을것으로생각한다.
