Objective To explore the differential diagnosis significance of 3.0T MRI united-sequences examination in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions. Methods A total of 67 breast lesions of 59 patients were collected prospectively, which be treated at the Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital during July 2015 to January 2017. All patients were underwent bilateral breast 3.0T magnetic resonance plain scan, diffusion weighted imaging, and dynamic enhanced scan successively before surgical operation. Analysis of morphological features of the benign and malignant breast lesions, the time-signal intensity curve (TIC), the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and the combination diagnosis of them were performed. Results Of all 59 patients, 67 lesions were confirmed by histopathology, including 18 benign lesions and 49 malignant lesions. The morphological features (including margin, shape, border, and evenness), the types of TIC of dynamic enhancement, and ADC value between the benign lesions and malignant lesions were statistically significant (P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of Fischer scoring system was 89.8% (44/49) and 61.1% (11/18) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of TIC types was 83.7% (41/49) and 77.8% (14/18) respectively. The diagnostic threshold of ADC value was 1.012×10–3 mm2/s, with the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis was 91.8% (45/49) and 83.3% (15/18) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combination of Fischer scoring system and TIC type for diagnosis between benign and malignant breast lesions was 95.9% (47/49) and 72.2% (13/18) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combination of Fischer scoring system, TIC type, and ADC value for benign and malignant breast lesions was 98.0% (48/49) and 83.3% (15/18) respectively. Conclusion The combination of Fischer scoring system, TIC type, and diffusion-weighted imaging for the differential diagnosis between benign lesions and malignant lesions was more effective than single imaging method.
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI) in gross morphological classification of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsThe clinicopathologic data of patients with HCC who received surgical treatment in the Affiliated Huai’an Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022 were retrospectively gathered. The Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI was performed before operation. Two radiologists independently assessed the gross morphological classification of HCC according to the imaging performance. The tumors were cut into sections in a coronal plane and were taken pictures for recording pathological features after operation. The tumors were assigned into 4 types according to the references and clinical experiences: single nodular type (SN), single nodular with extranodular growth type (SN-EG), confluent multi-nodular type (CMN), and infiltration type (IF). Matching degree of morphological classification was analyzed between by the Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI and resected specimen. The pathological features of 4 types of HCC were also analyzed. ResultsA total of 87 patients with HCC were included. The gross morphological classification by the Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI was 28 (32.2%) patients with SN, 28 (32.2%) patients with SN-EG, 21 (24.1%) patients with CMN, 10 (11.5%) patients with IF, which by the resected specimen was 33 (37.9%) patients with SN, 24 (27.6%) patients with SN-EG, 21 (24.1%) patients with CMN, and 9 (10.4%) patients with IF in the 87 patients with HCC. The Kappa’s coefficient of agreement between the results of Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI and postoperative resection specimens was 0.776 (P=0.199). There were statistical differences in the tumor diameter and microvascular invasion (MVI) among the 4 types of gross morphology classification (F=2.937, P=0.038; χ2=16.852, P=0.001), the MVI rate was highest and tumor diameter was biggest in the patients with IF among the 4 types of gross morphology classification (P<0.05). ConclusionsFrom the results of this study, the gross morphological classification of HCC is closely related to the tumor diameter and MVI. Results of Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI and postoperative resection specimens in assessing the gross morphological classification are good agreement. Therefore, an accurate preoperative planning and better therapy strategy for the patients with HCC can be provided according to gross morphological classification by preoperative Gd-EOB-DTPA-MRI.
