To investigate if 18F-FDG PET/MRI can improve the diagnostic performance of TNM staging and help make an accurate decision for resectability in patients with gastric cancer compared to MDCT.
Forty-two patients with histologically confirmed gastric cancers underwent preoperative MDCT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI. M-staging and resectability was assessed in all patients, and T- and N-staging was evaluated in 30 of 42 patients who underwent curative gastrectomy. Two abdominal radiologists independently assessed their MDCT images and 18F-FDG PET/MRI and determined preoperative TNM staging and resectability of gastric cancers. Diagnostic performance with MDCT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI were compared using McNemar's test and receiver operating characteristic analysis.
Diagnostic accuracies for T and N staging were not significantly different between MDCT and 18F-FDG PET/MRI in both readers. However, 18F-FDG PET/MRI showed significantly improved diagnostic accuracy for M staging in one reader (P=0.008) and marginal improvement in the other reader (P=0.063) compared to MDCT. Regarding the resectability of gastric cancers, diagnostic accuracy (92.9% for both readers) of 18F-FDG PET/MRI was significantly higher than that (76.2% for reader 1 and 64.3% for reader 2) of MDCT in both readers (P<0.05).
18F-FDG PET/MRI may improve diagnostic accuracy for preoperative M staging as well as resectability of gastric cancers compared to MDCT.
探讨与多层螺旋CT(MDCT)相比,18F-氟代脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层显像/磁共振成像(18F-FDG PET/MRI)能否提高胃癌TNM分期的诊断效能,并有助于准确判断可切除性。
42例经组织学确诊的胃癌患者术前行MDCT及18F-FDG PET/MRI检查。对所有患者评估M分期及可切除性,对42例中行根治性胃切除术的患者中的30例评估T分期及N分期。两名腹部放射科医生独立评估其MDCT图像及18F-FDG PET/MRI图像,确定胃癌的术前TNM分期及可切除性。采用McNemar检验及受试者操作特征分析比较MDCT与18F-FDG PET/MRI的诊断效能。
两位阅片者中,MDCT与18F-FDG PET/MRI在T分期及N分期的诊断准确性上均无显著差异。然而,与MDCT相比,18F-FDG PET/MRI在一位阅片者中显示M分期的诊断准确性显著提高(P=0.008),在另一位阅片者中显示有边缘性提高(P=0.063)。关于胃癌的可切除性,18F-FDG PET/MRI的诊断准确性(两位阅片者均为92.9%)在两位阅片者中均显著高于MDCT(阅片者1为76.2%,阅片者2为64.3%)(P<0.05)。
与MDCT相比,18F-FDG PET/MRI可能提高胃癌术前M分期的诊断准确性及可切除性。
