OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy of fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect T1-T2 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Prospective case series.
Thirty-five consecutive patients with histologically proven T1-T2 HNSCC were prospectively included. All patients underwent pretherapeutic FDG-PET/CT and MRI. Two nuclear medicine physicians and 2 radiologists blindly reviewed all FDG-PET/CT and MRI, respectively. A five-point qualitative scale was used to estimate tumor detection ability. Sensitivity of each modality was compared together using a McNemar test. Interobserver variability was assessed by kappa index (κ) of Cohen statistics. Maximal standardized uptake value (SUV ), metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in FDG-PET/CT, and gadolinium enhancement (%GE) in MRI of each tumor were recorded and compared with T stage using a Mann-Whitney test. Tumor-to-normal tissue ratios in FDG-PET/CT and MRI (TNR and TNR ) were calculated and compared together using a Student t test.
Among the 35 primary tumors, 29 were detected by FDG-PET/CT and 22 by MRI. MRI detected none of the six lesions incorrectly identified by FDG-PET/CT. FDG-PET/CT correctly identified seven of the 13 MRI false-negative results. Sensitivity of FDG-PET/CT to detect T1-T2 HNSCC was significantly higher than MRI (83% vs. 63%, P = .015). T stage was significantly correlated with MTV (P = .002) unlike with SUV (P = .06) and %GE (P = .70). TNR was significantly higher than TNR (3.5 ± 3.2 vs. 1.2 ± 0.3, P < .0001).
Our study showed a higher diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET/CT than MRI to detect T1-T2 HNSCC with a good interobserver agreement.
目的/假设:本研究旨在评估和比较氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(FDG-PET/CT)和磁共振成像(MRI)检测T1-T2期头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)的诊断准确性。
前瞻性病例系列研究。
前瞻性纳入35例经组织学证实为T1-T2期HNSCC的连续患者。所有患者均接受治疗前FDG-PET/CT和MRI检查。两名核医学医师和两名放射科医师分别对所有FDG-PET/CT和MRI图像进行盲法评估。采用五点定性量表评估肿瘤检测能力。使用McNemar检验比较每种检查方法的敏感性。通过Cohen统计的kappa指数(κ)评估观察者间的变异性。记录每个肿瘤在FDG-PET/CT中的最大标准化摄取值(SUV)、代谢肿瘤体积(MTV)以及在MRI中的钆增强率(%GE),并使用Mann-Whitney检验与T分期进行比较。计算FDG-PET/CT和MRI中的肿瘤与正常组织比值(TNR和TNR),并使用Student t检验进行比较。
在35个原发性肿瘤中,FDG-PET/CT检测出29个,MRI检测出22个。MRI未检测出FDG-PET/CT错误识别的6个病变中的任何一个。FDG-PET/CT正确识别了13个MRI假阴性结果中的7个。FDG-PET/CT检测T1-T2期HNSCC的敏感性显著高于MRI(83%对63%,P = 0.015)。T分期与MTV显著相关(P = 0.002),与SUV(P = 0.06)和%GE(P = 0.70)无关。TNR显著高于TNR(3.5±3.2对1.2±0.3,P < 0.0001)。
我们的研究表明,FDG-PET/CT检测T1-T2期HNSCC的诊断准确性高于MRI,且观察者间一致性良好。
