To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of 3.0-T diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for detection of prostate cancer by using different b-values.
Seventy-three patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3.0 T. Three MRI sets were reviewed by two radiologists: MRI and DWI (b = 500 s/mm(2)) (protocol A), MRI and DWI (b = 1000 s/mm(2)) (protocol B), and MRI and DWI (b = 2000s/mm(2)) (protocol C). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) were calculated.
The mean of the AUCs in protocol C was larger than those in protocol A and in protocol B (P<.05).
DWI (b = 2000s/mm(2)) at 3.0 T can improve the diagnostic accuracy for detection of prostate cancer.
通过使用不同的 b 值,来研究 3.0-T 扩散加权成像(DWI)检测前列腺癌的诊断准确性。
73 例患者在 3.0T 磁共振成像(MRI)下进行检查。两位放射科医生对 3 套 MRI 进行了回顾:MRI 和 DWI(b = 500 s/mm²)(方案 A)、MRI 和 DWI(b = 1000 s/mm²)(方案 B)以及 MRI 和 DWI(b = 2000s/mm²)(方案 C)。计算了受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)下的面积(AUC)。
方案 C 的 AUC 均值大于方案 A 和方案 B(P<.05)。
3.0T 的 DWI(b = 2000s/mm²)可提高检测前列腺癌的诊断准确性。
