Thirty-two of the patients had malignant SPNs, while the other 17 had benign SPNs. All these patients underwent DCE-MRI and ^18F-FDG PET/CT examinations. The quantitative MRI pharmacokinetic parameters, including the trans-endothelial transfer constant(K^trans), redistribution rate constant(Kep), and fractional volume(Ve), were calculated using the Extended-Tofts Linear two-compartment model. The ^18F-FDG PET/CT parameter, maximum standardized uptake value(SUV(max)), was also measured. Spearman's correlations were calculated between the MRI pharmacokinetic parameters and the SUV(max) of each SPN. These parameters were statistically compared between the malignant and benign nodules. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analyses were used to compare the diagnostic capability between the DCE-MRI and ^18F-FDG PET/CT indexes.Results: Positive correlations were found between K^trans and SUV(max), and between K(ep) and SUV(max)(P〈0.05).There were significant differences between the malignant and benign nodules in terms of the K^trans, K(ep) and SUV(max) values(P〈0.05). The areas under the ROC curve(AUC) of K^trans) K(ep) and SUV(max) between the malignant and benign nodules were 0.909, 0.838 and 0.759, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity in differentiating malignant from benign SPNs were 90.6% and 82.4% for K^trans; 87.5% and 76.5% for K(ep); and 75.0% and 70.6%for SUV(max), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of K^trans and K(ep) were higher than those of SUV(max), but there was no significant difference between them(P〉0.05).Conclusions: DCE-MRI can be used to differentiate between benign and malignant SPNs and has the advantage of being radiation free.展开更多

Materials and Methods: SPSS 17.0 is used statistically for analyzing the patient’s scanning parameters, radiation dose of monitoring and examining the patients who are scanning of their abdomen, chest and pelvic in our affiliated hospital. Results: SPSS statistical analysis shows that the factor related to radiation dose is scanning layer;the basic characteristics such as height and heart rate don’t affect the patient’s scan dose directly. Conclusion: Increasing the delay time after injection can reduce the scan numbers and monitoring layers of the machine, thus reduce the patient’s radiation dose and tube’s exposure time.展开更多
