Multiparametric MRI for organ quality assessment in a porcine Ex-Vivo lung perfusion system.
<h4>Introduction</h4>Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an emerging technique promising an expansion of the donor pool and improvements in the outcome after lung transplantation. Reliable biomarkers for local assessment of organ function in the EVLP system are intensely sought after. This...

<h4>Introduction</h4>Ex-vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is an emerging technique promising an expansion of the donor pool and improvements in the outcome after lung transplantation. Reliable biomarkers for local assessment of organ function in the EVLP system are intensely sought after. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of multiparametric functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in an EVLP system in a porcine aspiration model.<h4>Material and methods</h4>Seven female pigs were anesthetized and gastric juice was instilled in the right lower lobe bronchus to simulate aspiration. Left lungs served as control. Lungs were removed and installed in a modified EVLP system. In the 12-hour EVLP run three sequential MRI scans were performed. Oxygen-washout time, Fourier Decomposition derived ventilation and perfusion, and dynamic contrast enhanced imaging derived perfusion were calculated. PaO2:FiO2 ratio was determined and correlated. End-point histology and computed tomography served as control.<h4>Results</h4>All animals completed the protocol. MRI structural images showed infiltrates in lungs after aspiration comparable to CT scans. Ventilation was significantly (p = 0.016) reduced while perfusion was increased (p = 0.016) in lungs after aspiration. Non-contrast dependent Fourier decomposition perfusion showed good correlation (R2 = 0.67) to dynamic contrast enhanced derived perfusion. Oxygen washout time was significantly increased (p = 0.016) in lungs after aspiration and showed a correlation with the PaO2:FiO2 ratio (R2 = 0.54).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Multiparametric fMRI for local assessment of organ function is feasible in EVLP and detects alterations in lung function following aspiration with correlation to clinical parameters. fMRI may improve organ assessment in ex-vivo perfusion systems, leading to a better selection of segments suitable for transplant. |
