摘要:
目的 研究磁共振成像分段读出平面回波成像(RS-EPI)序列在诊断眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变中的应用价值。 方法 本研究为回顾性研究,以2016年12月~2018年12月在我院诊断并治疗的眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变患者60例作为研究对象,所有患者均采取3T磁共振扫描仪(MAGNETOM Trio Tim)进行扫描,分别比较RS-EPI以及单次激发平面回波成像(SS-EPI)序列图像质量定性评分、图像质量定量评分的差异。分析RS-EPI序列及SS-EPI序列对于眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变诊断效能之间的差异。 结果 两种方法对观察者组患者脂肪抑制情况之间的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.001),RS-EPI序列诊断方法对于观察者组患者的正常解剖结构的显示能力、伪影情况以及图像综合质量评分高于SS-EPI序列(P < 0.001);两种方法对观察者组患者玻璃体表观扩散系数(ADC)、脑干ADC脂的差异无统计学意义(P > 0.05),RS-EPI序列诊断方法对于观察者组患者眼球前后、眼球左右的几何变形情况及信噪比低于SS-EPI序列(P < 0.001);RS-EPI序列对于眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变的诊断敏感度高于SS-EPI序列(P < 0.05);ROC曲线显示,RS-EPI序列对于眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变的曲线下面积高于SS-EPI序列(P < 0.001)。 结论 磁共振成像RS-EPI序列可有效提升眼眶肿瘤及肿瘤样病变的图像质量以及诊断敏感度。 Abstract:Objective To evaluate the value of diffusion-weighted MRI using readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) sequence in the diagnosis of orbit tumors and tumorlike lesions. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 60 patients with orbital tumors or tumorlike lesions in our hospital from December 2016 to December 2018. The patients were imaged on a 3T MRI scanner (MAGNETOM Trio Tim). The RS-EPI and single-shot echo-planar imaging (SS-EPI) sequences were compared in terms of image quality. The diagnostic efficacy between RS-EPI sequence and SS-EPI sequence for orbital tumors and tumorlike lesions were compared. Results Fat suppression in the RS-EPI sequence showed no statistical difference to that in the SS-EPI sequence (P > 0.05), while RS-EPI sequence was was superior to SS-EPI sequence in terms of normal anatomical structure display, ghosting artifact, overall image quality (P < 0.001). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of vitreous body and brainstem yielded no statistical difference between two methods (P > 0.05). The geometric distortion ratio in both anterior-posterior and right-left direction, as well as signal-to-noise ratio of RS-EPI sequence were all lower than those of SS-EPI sequence (P < 0.001). The diagnostic sensitivity of RS-EPI sequence for orbital tumors and tumorlike lesions was significantly higher than that of SS-EPI sequence (P < 0.05). ROC curve denoted that the area under the curve of RS-EPI sequence in the diagnosis of orbital tumors and tumorlike lesions was significantly larger than that of SS-EPI sequence (P < 0.001). Conclusion MRI using RS-EPI sequence can effectively improve the image quality and diagnostic sensitivity of orbital tumors and tumorlike lesions. -
