BACKGROUND: The choroid plexus (ChP), a densely vascularized structure, has drawn increasing attention for its involvement in brain homeostasis and waste clearance. While the volumetric changes have been explored in many imaging studies, few studies have investigated the vascular degeneration associated with aging in the ChP.
PURPOSE: To investigate the sub-structural characteristics of the ChP, particularly the vascular compartment using high-resolution 7T imaging enhanced with Ferumoxytol, an ultrasmall super-paramagnetic iron oxide, which greatly increase the susceptibility contrast for vessels.
STUDY TYPE: Prospective.
SUBJECTS: Forty-nine subjects without neurological disorders (age: 21-80 years; 42 ± 17 years; 20 females).
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 7-T with 2D and 3D T2* GRE, 3D MPRAGE T1, 2D TSE T2, and 2D FLAIR.
ASSESSMENT: The vascular and stromal compartments of the ChP were segmented using K-means clustering on post-contrast 2D GRE images. Visual and qualitative assessment of ChP vascular characteristics were conducted independently by three observers. Vascular density (Volvessel/VolChP ratio) and susceptibility change (Δχ) induced by Ferumoxytol were analyzed on 3D GRE-derived susceptibility-weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping, respectively.
STATISTICAL TESTS: Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test were utilized for group comparisons. The relationship between age and ChP's vascular alterations was examined using Pearson's correlation. Intra-class coefficient was calculated for inter-observer agreement. A P value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
RESULTS: 2D GRE images demonstrated superior contrast and accurate delineation of ChP substructures (ICC = 0.86). Older subjects exhibited a significantly smaller vascular density (16.5 ± 4.34%) and lower Δχ (22.10 ± 12.82 ppb) compared to younger subjects (24.85 ± 6.84% and 34.64 ± 12.69 ppb). Vascular density and mean Δχ within the ChP negatively correlated with age (r = -0.48, and r = -0.45).
DATA CONCLUSION: Ferumoxytol-enhanced 7T images can demonstrate ChP alterations in elderly with decreased vascular density and expansion of nonvascular compartment.
