Trial Outcomes & Findings for Imaging of Osteonecrosis With Ferumoxytol-Enhanced MRI (NCT NCT02893293)

NCT ID: NCT02893293

Last Updated: 2024-11-26

Results Overview

SNR is a measurement that compares the strength of a signal to the level of background noise. It is often expressed in decibels (dB) and is calculated by dividing the signal power by the noise power. A ratio greater than 1:1 indicates that there is more signal than noise. First, for each lesion the MR signal intensity (SI) of the lesion and the SI of the background (= noise in the image) was measured, then the SI of the lesion was divided by the SI of the noise to obtain the signal to noise ratio. Then, the mean SNR and standard deviation was calculated for the different groups of lesions and compared to the mean SNR between treated versus not treated lesions and treated lesions at different time points after the treatment using statistical tests.

Measure
Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI
Patients scheduled for routine decompression surgery and autologous stem cell transplant receive ferumoxytol injection (Feraheme, AMAG, 5mg Fe/kg, single administration), and follow-up magnetic resonance imaging in regular intervals for evaluation of the response to treatment.
Non-ferumoxytol Enhanced MRI
Patients scheduled for routine decompression surgery and autologous stem cell transplant receive follow-up magnetic resonance imaging in regular intervals for evaluation of the response to treatment.

T2\* relaxation time is a measure of how quickly transverse magnetization decays in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). It's a key factor in image contrast in gradient-echo (GRE) sequences and is used in many MRI applications, such as perfusion imaging, susceptibility-weighted imaging, and functional imaging. Lower T2\* relaxation times indicate greater contrast agent uptake in cells.
