 Abstract: Multi-center clinical and quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) studies require a high degree of reproducibility across different sites and scanner manufacturers, as well as time points. We therefore implemented a multi-parameter mapping (MPM) protocol based on vendor’s product sequences and demonstrate its repeatability and reproducibility for whole-brain coverage. Within approximately 20 minutes, four MPM metrics (magnetization transfer saturation [MT], proton density [PD], longitudinal [R1] and effective transverse [R2*] relaxation rates) were measured using an optimized 1 mm isotropic resolution protocol on six 3T MRI
scanners from two different vendors. The same five healthy participants underwent two
scanning sessions, on the same scanner, at each site. MPM metrics were calculated using the hMRI-toolbox. To account for different MT pulses used by each vendor, we linearly scaled the MT values to harmonize them across vendors. To determine longitudinal repeatability and inter-site comparability, the intra-site (i.e. scan-rescan experiment) coefficient of variation (CoV), inter-site CoV, and bias across sites were estimated. For MT, R1, and PD, the intra- and inter-site CoV was between 4% and 10% across sites and scan time points for intracranial gray and white matter. A higher intra-site CoV (16%) was observed in R2* maps. The inter-site bias was
below 5% for all parameters. In conclusion, the MPM protocol yielded reliable quantitative maps at high resolution with a short acquisition time. The high reproducibility of MPM metrics across sites and scan time points combined with its tissue microstructure sensitivity facilitates longitudinal multi-center imaging studies targeting microstructural changes, e.g., as a quantitative MRI biomarker for interventional clinical trials.
