学位論文内容の要旨
Purpose: To assess abdominal organ motion induced by gastroduodenal motilities in volunteers between fasting and postprandial states, using cine magnetic resonance imaging (cine-MRI).
Methods and Materials: Thirty-five volunteers each underwent cine-MRI in the fasting state and 30 minutes after ingestion of jelly. Cine-MRI was performed using a steady-state free precession sequence, with 20 seconds of breath hold. Gastric motility was quantified based on the amplitude and velocity of an antral peristaltic wave. Duodenal motility was quantified by calculating the difference between maximal and minimal diameters of the second portion of the duodenum. Abdominal organ motion was measured on liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Motion was quantified by calculating maximal displacement of organ edges in the left-right (LR), antero-posterior (AP) and caudal-cranial (CC) directions on three orthogonal
planes. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Median amplitude and velocity of the antrum in fasting and postprandial states were 7.7 mm and 15.1 mm (p < 0.01), and 1.3 mm/s and 2.5 mm/s (p < 0.01), respectively. Median differences of duodenal diameter in the two states were 7.5 mm and 9.4 mm, respectively (p=0.07). The median ranges of displacements of all organs in three directions in the two states were 0.9–2.9 mm and 1.0–2.9 mm, respectively. Significant increases in abdominal organ displacements in the postprandial state were observed in the following organs: right lobe of the liver, pancreas head, left kidney, and right kidney. Differences in median displacements of these organs between the two states were <1 mm.
Conclusions: The motion of several abdominal organs increased in the postprandial state; however, the difference between fasting and postprandial states was quite small. Thus, it might be not necessary to strictly manage gastric conditions, or to add excess internal margin in treatment planning for
intra-fractional tumor motion in abdominal organs.
