To evaluate the diagnostic performance of superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO)-enhanced diffusion-weighted image (DWI) for distinguishing an intrapancreatic accessory spleen from pancreatic tumors.
Twenty-six cases of intrapancreatic accessory spleen and nine cases of pancreatic tail tumors [neuroendocrine tumor (n = 8) and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (n = 1)] were analyzed. Two blind reviewers retrospectively reviewed the SPIO-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The lesion visibility grades were compared and the diagnostic performance of SPIO-enhanced DWI was compared to those of SPIO-enhanced T2WI and T2*WI with the use of a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.
The grade of lesion visibility was the highest on DWI [mean ± standard deviation (SD): 2.8 ± 0.3] followed by T2WI (2.3 ± 0.7, p < 0.001) and T2WI (2.1 ± 0.7, p < 0.0001). Reviewers 1 and 2 correctly characterized the presence or absence of SPIO uptake in 34 of 35 cases (97.1%) on DWI, 24 (68.6%) and 25 (71.4%) cases on T2WI, respectively, and 16 (45.7%) and 17 (48.6%) cases on T2WI. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of DWI was 0.974 and 0.989 for reviewers 1 and 2, respectively. For Reviewer 1, the AUC of DWI was significantly higher than that of T2WI (0.756, p < 0.01), although it was not significantly different from that of T2WI (0.868, p = 0.0857). For Reviewer 2, the AUC of DWI was significantly higher than those of T2WI (0.846, p < 0.05) and T2WI (0.803, p < 0.01).
The diagnostic performance of SPIO-enhanced DWI was better than those of SPIO-enhanced T2*WI and T2WI for the diagnosis of intrapancreatic accessory spleen.
评估超顺磁性氧化铁(SPIO)增强扩散加权成像(DWI)在鉴别胰内副脾与胰腺肿瘤方面的诊断性能。
分析 26 例胰内副脾和 9 例胰尾肿瘤[神经内分泌肿瘤(n=8)和胰腺腺癌(n=1)]病例。两名盲法阅片者回顾性分析 SPIO 增强磁共振成像(MRI)扫描。比较病变可见度等级,并使用受试者工作特征(ROC)分析比较 SPIO 增强 DWI 与 SPIO 增强 T2WI 和 T2*WI 的诊断性能。
DWI 上病变可见度评分最高[平均值±标准差(SD):2.8±0.3],其次是 T2WI(2.3±0.7,p<0.001)和 T2WI(2.1±0.7,p<0.0001)。阅片者 1 和 2 在 DWI 上正确识别 35 例(97.1%)中 SPIO 摄取的存在或缺失,在 T2WI 上分别正确识别 24(68.6%)和 25(71.4%)例,在 T2WI 上分别正确识别 16(45.7%)和 17(48.6%)例。DWI 的 ROC 曲线下面积(AUC)分别为 0.974 和 0.989,对于阅片者 1 和 2。对于阅片者 1,DWI 的 AUC 明显高于 T2WI(0.756,p<0.01),尽管与 T2WI(0.868,p=0.0857)无显著差异。对于阅片者 2,DWI 的 AUC 明显高于 T2WI(0.846,p<0.05)和 T2WI(0.803,p<0.01)。
对于诊断胰内副脾,SPIO 增强 DWI 的诊断性能优于 SPIO 增强 T2*WI 和 T2WI。
