摘要
[目的]通过对星形细胞瘤周围水肿区行磁共振弥散加权成像(diffusion-weighted imaging,DWI)和氢质子磁共振波谱(proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy,1H-MRS)检查,探讨周围水肿区的DWI和1H-MRS表现在星形细胞瘤术前分级的应用价值。[方法]对经手术病理证实的28例星形细胞瘤(低级别9例,高级别19例)进行常规MRI序列、DWI和1H-MRS检查,对照分析病变的周围水肿区的表观弥散系数(apparent diffusion coefficient,ADC)值以及1H-MRS的各种代谢物比值,包括Cho/NAA、Cho/Cr、NAA/Cr,并进一步与病理结果对照。[结果]高级别星形细胞瘤周围水肿区的ADC值(12.95±1.59)×10-4mm2/s低于低级别星形细胞瘤(16.82±2.40)×10-4mm2/s,P=0.014。若周围水肿区ADC值取14.85×10-4mm2/s作为高、低级别胶质瘤分级的阈值,则敏感度为85.7%,特异度为82.1%,准确性为71.4%。高级别星形细胞瘤周围水肿区Cho/NAA值(2.13±0.74)高于低级别星形细胞瘤(1.14±0.23),P=0.02。以Cho/NAA=1.37为阈值来鉴别两者,则敏感性为96.4%,特异性为75.0%,准确性为78.6%。[结论]星形细胞瘤周围水肿区的ADC值和Cho/NAA值的测定对于肿瘤术前级别的确定十分有意义。
[Objective] To investigate clinical value of DWI and 1H-MRS in diagnosing of astrocytomas grade by performing them in the peritumoral edematous regions.[Methods] Twenty-eight patients proved of astrocytomas(9 cases of low-grade and 19 high-grade) underwent routine MR process,diffusion weighted imaging and 2D proton spectroscopic MR imaging.Apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) and metabolic ratios including of Cho/NAA,Cho/Cr and NAA/Cr were calculated in the peritumoral edematous areas.[Results] ADC value in the peritumoral edematous areas of low-grade astrocytomas(16.82±2.40) ×10^-4 mm^2/s was significantly higher than that of high-grade ones(12.95±1.59) ×10^-4 mm^2/s,P=0.014).A ADC threshold of 14.85×10^-4 mm^2/s in peritumoral area provided for sensitivity by 85.7%,specificity by 82.1% as well as accuracy by 71.4% in differentiation high-grade from low-grade astrocytomas.Significantly higher ratio of Cho/NAA was found in the peritumoral edematous area(2.13±0.74,P=0.02) of high grade gliomas compared with low grade ones(1.14±0.23).A threshold of Cho/NAA equal to 1.37 in peritumoral area was provided for differentiation high-grade from low-grade astrocytomas,and then sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were by 96.4%,75.0% and 78.6% respectively.[Conclusion] ADC values and Cho/NAA quantification in the peritumoral edematous areas are useful complementary methods in diagnosing of astrocytomas grade.
