摘要
目的:评估RESOLVE弥散加权成像(DWI)和动态对比增强(DCE) MRI在定性和定量成像参数鉴别颅底良恶性病变中的应用价值。方法:这项前瞻性研究包括44例45个颅底病变的患者,他们接受了RESOLVE DWI和DCE-MRI的MRI检查。DWI计算表观扩散系数(ADC)值和病变与髓质的ADC比。灌注参数(Ktrans, Kep, Ve)和时间-强度曲线(TIC)均由DCE-MRI获得。对良、恶性病变进行统计学比较,并对受者操作特征进行分析,评价诊断能力。结果:恶性病变的平均ADC值(0.88 × 10⁻³mm²/s)明显低于良性病变(1.05 × 10⁻³mm²/s, p = 0.033)。病变与髓质的ADC比在恶性病变中也显著降低(1.03 vs. 1.25, p = 0.029),在截断值≤1.167 (AUC = 0.695)时,敏感性为89%,特异性为44%。在DCE-MRI参数中,Kep及时间-强度曲线(TIC)分布在良、恶性病变间差异均有统计学意义(p = 0.037, p = 0.037)。结论:RESOLVE DWI与DCE-MRI是鉴别颅底良、恶性病变的有效无创工具。ADC比率和Kep是有价值的定量标记,而TIC模式分析提供了互补的定性见解,提高了诊断的信心。
Role of resolve DWI and DCE MRI in differentiating benign and malignant skull base lesions.
Purpose: To assess the utility of RESOLVE Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) MRI in differentiating benign and malignant skull base lesions using qualitative and quantitative imaging parameters.
Methods: This prospective study included 44 patients with 45 skull base lesions who underwent MRI with RESOLVE DWI and DCE-MRI. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and lesion-to-medulla ADC ratios were calculated from DWI. Perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Kep, Ve) and time-intensity curve (TIC) were derived from DCE-MRI. Benign and malignant lesions were statistically compared, and receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate diagnostic capability.
Results: Malignant lesions had significantly lower mean ADC values (0.88 × 10⁻³ mm²/s) than benign lesions (1.05 × 10⁻³ mm²/s, p = 0.033). The lesion-to-medulla ADC ratio was also significantly lower in malignant lesions (1.03 vs. 1.25, p = 0.029), yielding 89% sensitivity and 44% specificity at a cutoff ≤ 1.167 (AUC = 0.695). Among DCE-MRI parameters, both Kep and the distribution of time-intensity curve (TIC) showed significant differences between benign and malignant lesions (p = 0.037 and p < 0.001, respectively). Kep was higher in malignant lesions (0.98 vs. 0.78), with an AUC of 0.689, 94% sensitivity, and 52% specificity at a cutoff of ≥ 0.581. Ktrans and Ve did not show significant statistical difference.
Conclusion: RESOLVE DWI and DCE-MRI are effective non-invasive tools for differentiating benign and malignant skull base lesions. The ADC ratio and Kep are valuable quantitative markers, while TIC pattern analysis offers complementary qualitative insights, enhancing diagnostic confidence.
