Establishment of the accepted level of variance in ADC measurements for each clinical application is critical for its successful implementation. The Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Biomarker Committee of the Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers Alliance (QIBA) has recently advanced the ADC Profile from the consensus to clinically feasible stage for the brain, liver, prostate, and breast. This profile distills multiple studies on ADC repeatability and describes detailed procedures to achieve stated performance claims on an observed ADC change within acceptable confidence limits. In addition to reviewing the current ADC Profile claims, this report has used recent literature to develop proposed updates for establishing metrology benchmarks for mean lesion ADC change that account for measurement variance. Specifically, changes in mean ADC exceeding 8% for brain lesions, 27% for liver lesions, 27% for prostate lesions, and 15% for breast lesions are claimed to represent true changes with 95% confidence. This report also discusses the development of the ADC Profile, highlighting its various stages, and describes the workflow essential to achieving a standardized implementation of advanced quantitative diffusion-weighted MRI in the clinic. The presented QIBA ADC Profile guidelines should enable successful clinical application of ADC as a quantitative imaging biomarker and ensure reproducible ADC measurements that can be used to confidently evaluate longitudinal changes and treatment response for individual patients.","PeriodicalId":20896,"journal":{"name":"Radiology","volume":"40 1","pages":"e233055"},"PeriodicalIF":19.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142385520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Purpose To assess the diagnostic accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of pseudo-CT MRI sequences (zero echo time [ZTE], gradient-echo black bone [BB]) in detecting osteolytic lesions in MM using whole-body CT as the reference standard. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, consecutive patients were enrolled in our academic hospital between June 2021 and December 2022. Inclusion criteria were newly diagnosed MM, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance at high risk for MM, or suspicion of progressive MM. Participants underwent ZTE and BB sequences covering the lumbar spine, pelvis, and proximal femurs as part of 3-T whole-body MRI examinations, as well as clinically indicated fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT examination within 1 month that included optimized whole-body CT. Ten bone regions and two scores (categorical score = presence/absence of osteolytic lesion; semiquantitative score = osteolytic lesion count) were assessed by three radiologists (two experienced and one unfamiliar with pseudo-CT reading) on the ZTE, BB, and whole-body CT images. The accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility of categorical scores (according to Gwet agreement coefficients AC1 and AC2) and differences in semiquantitative scores were assessed at the per-sequence, per-region, and per-patient levels. Results A total of 47 participants (mean age, 67 years ± 11 [SD]; 27 male) were included. In experienced readers, BB and ZTE had the same high accuracy (98%) in the per-patient analysis, while BB accuracy ranged 83%-100% and ZTE accuracy ranged 74%-94% in the per-region analysis. An increase of false-negative (FN) findings in the spine ranging from +17% up to +23%, according to the lumbar vertebra, was observed using ZTE (P < .013). Regardless of the region (except coxal bones), differences in the BB score minus the ZTE score were positively skewed (P < .021). Regardless of the sequence or region, repeatability was very good (AC1 ≥0.87 for all), while reproducibility was at least good (AC2 ≥0.63 for all). Conclusion Both MRI-based ZTE and BB pseudo-CT sequences of the lumbar spine, pelvis, and femurs demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy in detecting osteolytic lesions in MM. Compared with BB, the ZTE sequence yielded more FN findings in the spine. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05381077 Published under a CC BY 4.0 license.
