摘要:
目的探讨3.0 T磁共振扩散峰度成像联合扩散加权成像在侵袭性前列腺癌诊断中的价值。 方法回顾性分析2015年5月~2019年6月我院经前列腺穿刺活检确诊并行磁共振扩散峰度成像和扩散加权成像进行诊断的患者共80例,包括49例侵袭性前列腺癌患者和31例良性前列腺增生患者。依据Gleason评分(GS)将侵袭性前列腺癌患者分为低级别组(GS≤3+3)和中、高级别组(GS≥3+4);获得DKI表观峰度系数(Kapp)和扩散加权成像表观扩散系数(ADC)。比较侵袭性前列腺癌与良性前列腺增生之间Kapp和ADC的差异,以及扩散峰度成像和扩散加权成像参数与Gleason评分的相关性,绘制ROC曲线评估二者诊断效能。 结果49例侵袭性前列腺癌患者共绘制肿瘤感兴趣区65个,包括低级别26个,中、高级别39个。相比低级别侵袭性前列腺癌和良性前列腺增生,中、高级别侵袭性前列腺癌的ADC值较低,Kapp值较高(P<0.01)。诊断侵袭性前列腺癌和对其进行分级时,Kapp的曲线下面积均小于ADC(0.947 vs 0.978,P<0.001;0.689 vs 0.894,P=0.008);二者联合诊断侵袭性前列腺癌和对其进行分级时,曲线下面积大于Kapp(0.979 vs 0.947,P=0.013;0.934 vs 0.689,P<0.001),二者联合诊断和分级的曲线下面积大于ADC,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);二者联合对侵袭性前列腺癌分级的特异性较单独采用Kapp要高(0.838 vs 0.730,P=0.035)。 结论ADC和Kapp参数均可用于诊断和评估侵袭性前列腺癌的侵袭性,扩散峰度成像联合扩散加权成像诊断和评估侵袭性前列腺癌的侵袭性并没有表现出比单独应用扩散加权成像具有更高的诊断效能。 Abstract:ObjectiveTo investigate the value of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) combined with DWI in diagnosis and assessment of aggressiveness of prostate cancer (PCa). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 80 patients from May 2015 to June 2019 underwent DKI and MR images and confirmed by prostate biopsy, including 49 patients with PCa and 31 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The patients with PCa were divided into a low-grade PCa group (Gleason score≤3+3) and intermediate- and high-grade PCa group (GS≥3+4). DKI-derived parameter (apparent kurtosis coefficient, Kapp) and a DWI-derived parameter (apparent diffusion coefficient, ADC) were obtained. The differences of Kapp and ADC between PCa and BPH, the correlation between DKI and DWI parameters and Gleason score were compared. ROC curves were drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Results65 ROIs in 49 patients with PCa were drawn, including ROIs in 26 low-grade tumors and ROIs in 39 intermediate- and high-grade tumors. PCa and intermediate- and high-grade PCa had significantly lower ADC values and higher Kapp values than BPH and low-grade PCa (all P<0.01). The AUCs of Kapp were significantly lower than the AUCs of ADC in the diagnosis (0.947 vs 0.978, P<0.001) and grading (0.689 vs 0.894, P=0.008) of PCa. The AUCs of the combination of the two metrics were significantly higher than the AUCs of Kapp for the diagnosis (0.979 vs 0.947, P=0.013) and grading (0.934 vs 0.689, P<0.001) of PCa, and they were higher than the AUCs of ADC without significance between groups (P>0.05). The combination of the two metrics significantly increased the specificity in grading of PCa compared with Kapp alone (0.838 vs 0.730, P=0.035). ConclusionBoth ADC and Kapp can be used as quantitative parameters in detection and assessment of aggressiveness of PCa. The combination of DKI and DWI has no significant superiority to DWI alone in detection and assessment of the aggressiveness of PCa. -
