Evaluation of lymphovascular space invasion in endometrial carcinoma by APTw and mDixon-Quant.
Background: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is a strong and independent risk factor that increases the probability of endometrial carcinoma (EC) recurrence and reduces the survival rate of patients.
Purpose: To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) and mDixon-Quant techniques in evaluating EC lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI).
Material and methods: Data of 50 EC patients (18 LVSI+ and 32 LVSI-) confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans included APTw and mDixon-Quant imaging. APT, transverse relaxation rate (R2*), and fat fraction (FF) plots were obtained by postprocessing. The APT, R2*, and FF values of the two groups of cases were measured by two observers.
Results: The agreement between the two observers was good. The mean APT, R2*, and FF values of LVSI+ EC were 2.947% ± 0.399%, 20.605 /s (range = 18.525-27.953), and 2.234% ± 1.047%, respectively, while the parameters of LVSI- EC were 2.628% ± 0.307%, 18.968 /s (range = 16.225-20.544), and 2.103% ± 1.070%, respectively. The APT and R2* values of LVSI+ EC were higher than those of LVSI- EC (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in FF value between the two groups. The AUC values of APT, R2*, and APT + R2* for LVSI were 0.751, 0.713, and 0.781, respectively (all P > 0.05). APT value was moderately correlated with R2* value (r = 0.528, P < 0.001) and weakly correlated with FF value (r = 0.312, P = 0.027).
Conclusion: APTw and mDixon-Quant techniques could evaluate the LVSI status of EC, and their combined application could improve diagnostic efficiency.
