摘要:
目的 应用磁共振三维增强多梯度回波T2*加权血管成像（ESWAN）序列的相位值（PV）完善脑微出血（CMBs）影像诊断的分级标准。 方法 回顾性分析2021年5月~2022年5月在中南大学湘雅医院行ESWAN序列扫描的100例患有CMBs的脑小血管病（CSVD）患者、29例脑内无异常影像表现且无其他基础疾病的健康志愿者。根据病变诊断结果将CSVD组分为CMBs组、腔隙性脑梗死（LI）组（CMBs单独合并LI）、脑白质病损（WML）组（CMBs单独合并WML）、LI+WML组。将局限于两个脑区内且LI的病灶数小于3个的定义为散发LI，否则为多发LI；Fazekas Ⅰ级定义为轻度WML，否则为重度WML。采用医院后处理软件勾画并测量CSVD组各CMBs病灶以及健康组红核与黑质的PV值，分析CMBs病灶PV值与健康红核黑质的差异以及LI、WML病变发生状况与CMBs PV值的关系。 结果 CSVD组各脑区CMBs病灶与健康组红核、黑质的平均PV值差异均有统计学意义（F=65.599，P < 0.001）；不同WML病变程度、LI病灶个数时CMBs平均PV值间的差异均有统计学意义（P < 0.05）且呈负相关关系（P=0.027、0.047）。根据影响程度初步将CMBs Ⅰ级定义为PV值>-0.74，CMBs Ⅱ级定义为PV值-0.81~-0.74，CMBs Ⅲ级定义为PV值-0.84~-0.81，CMBs Ⅳ级定义为PV值-0.89~-0.84，CMBs Ⅴ级定义为PV值< -0.89。 结论 CMBs病变与LI、WML病变程度相互影响；磁共振ESWAN序列的PV值能量化反映CMBs的病变程度，以此为依据建立CMBs的病变等级制度，有望取代目前相对主观的人工计数评估方式，辅助实现CMBs早期病灶的精准检出、CSVD疾病初期的快速诊断。 -

Abstract:Objective To enhance the grading criteria for cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) imaging diagnosis by applying the phase value (PV) of magnetic resonance enhanced gradient echo GRE T2-star weighted angiography (ESWAN) sequences. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 100 patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) presenting CMBs and 29 healthy volunteers without any abnormal brain imaging findings or underlying diseases, who underwent ESWAN sequence scans at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May 2021 to May 2022. The CSVD group was divided into CMBs group, lacunar infarction (LI) group (CMBs with LI only), white matter lesions (WML) group (CMBs with WML only), and LI + WML group based on the lesion diagnosis results. LI confined to two brain regions and with fewer than three lesions was defined as scattered LI, otherwise as multiple LI; Fazekas grade Ⅰ was defined as mild WML, otherwise as severe WML. Hospital post-processing software was used to outline and measure the PV of each CMBs lesion in the CSVD group and the red nucleus and substantia nigra in the healthy group, analyzing the differences in PV values between CMBs lesions and the healthy red nucleus and substantia nigra, and the relationship between LI, WML lesions occurrence and PV values of CMBs. Results Statistical significance was found in the differences between the average PV values of CMBs lesions in various brain regions of the CSVD group and the red nucleus and substantia nigra of the healthy group (F=65.599, P < 0.001); Differences in average PV values of CMBs were statistically significant across different degrees of WML lesions and numbers of LI lesions (P < 0.05), showing a negative correlation (P=0.027, 0.047). Based on the degree of impact, preliminary definitions were established: Grade Ⅰ CMBs as PV values >-0.74, grade Ⅱ CMBs as PV values between -0.81 and -0.74, grade Ⅲ CMBs as PV values between -0.84 and -0.81, grade Ⅳ CMBs as PV values between -0.89 and -0.84, and grade Ⅴ CMBs as PV values < -0.89. Conclusion CMBs lesions and the severity of LI and WML lesions mutually influence each other; PV values from magnetic resonance ESWAN sequences can quantitatively reflect the severity of CMBs lesions. Based on this, a grading system for CMBs lesions is established, helping to replace the currently more subjective manual counting assessment method. This aids in the precise detection of early CMBs lesions and rapid diagnosis of CSVD at its initial stages. -
