To evaluate the response in patients undergoing SBRT using dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) integrated magnetic resonance positron emission tomography (MR-PET). Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is efficacious as a front-line local treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
We prospectively enrolled 19 lung tumors in 17 nonmetastatic NSCLC patients who were receiving SBRT as a primary treatment. They underwent DCE-integrated 3T MR-PET before and 6 weeks after SBRT. The following image parameters were analyzed: tumor size, standardized uptake value (SUV), apparent diffusion coefficient, K , k , v , v , and iAUC . Chest computed tomography (CT) was performed at 3 months after SBRT.
SBRT treatment led to tumor changes including significant decreases in the SUV (-61%, P < 0.001), K mean (-72%, P = 0.005), K standard deviation (SD; -85%, P = 0.046), k mean (-53%, P = 0.014), k SD (-63%, P = 0.001), and v SD (-58%, P = 0.002). The PET SUV was correlated with the MR k mean (P = 0.002) and k SD (P < 0.001). The percentage reduction in K mean (P < 0.001) and k mean (P = 0.034) at 6 weeks post-SBRT were significantly correlated with the percentage reduction in tumor size, as measured using CT at 3 months after SBRT. Univariate analyses revealed a trend toward disease progression when the initial SUV > 10 (P = 0.083).
In patients with NSCLC who are receiving SBRT, DCE-integrated MR-PET can be used to evaluate the response after SBRT and to predict the local treatment outcome.

使用动态对比增强(DCE)集成磁共振正电子发射断层扫描(MR-PET)评估行立体定向体部放疗(SBRT)患者的反应。SBRT 是治疗非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)的有效一线局部治疗方法。
我们前瞻性纳入 17 例非转移性 NSCLC 患者的 19 个肺部肿瘤,这些患者正在接受 SBRT 作为主要治疗方法。他们在 SBRT 前和 SBRT 后 6 周时接受了 DCE 集成 3T MR-PET 检查。分析了以下图像参数:肿瘤大小、标准化摄取值(SUV)、表观扩散系数、K'、k'、v'、v'和 iAUC。在 SBRT 后 3 个月时进行胸部 CT 检查。
SBRT 治疗导致肿瘤发生变化,包括 SUV(-61%,P<0.001)、K 均值(-72%,P=0.005)、K 标准差(-85%,P=0.046)、k 均值(-53%,P=0.014)、k 标准差(-63%,P=0.001)和 v 标准差(-58%,P=0.002)显著降低。PET SUV 与 MR k 均值(P=0.002)和 k 标准差(P<0.001)相关。SBRT 后 6 周时 K 均值(P<0.001)和 k 均值(P=0.034)的百分比降低与 SBRT 后 3 个月时 CT 测量的肿瘤大小百分比降低显著相关。单变量分析显示,当 SUV 初始值>10 时,疾病进展呈趋势(P=0.083)。
在接受 SBRT 的 NSCLC 患者中,DCE 集成的 MR-PET 可用于评估 SBRT 后的反应,并预测局部治疗结果。
