To compare the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography arthrography (DE-CTA) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) of the shoulder in depicting glenoid labral tears.
This prospective institutional review board-approved study included 47 consecutive patients (28 males, 19 females; mean age of 34.2 years) studied between January 2017 and October 2018. All patients underwent DE-CTA and MRA the same day. Two radiologists (25 and 11 years of experience, respectively), blinded to clinical data, evaluated the presence labral tears on virtual-blended 120 kV standard CTA and on DE-CTA images. A third radiologist (18 years of experience) evaluated the MRA images. Diagnostic accuracy values were calculated by using surgery as standard of reference. Inter-observer and intra-observer agreements were calculated with k statistics. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Surgery revealed the presence of labral tears in 38/47 patients (80.9%). Sensitivity and specificity values in diagnosing labral tears were 84.2% and 77.8% for MRA (Reader 3), 84.2% and 77.8% for CTA (Reader 1), 84.2% and 88.9% for CTA (Reader 2), 89.5% and 88.9% for DE-CTA (Reader 1), and 92.1% and 88.9% for DE-CTA (Reader 2). A nonsignificant increase in AUC values with respect to MRA was obtained by reading the CTA (p = 0.470) and DE-CTA dataset (p = 0.217), respectively. Inter-observer agreements were near perfect for CTA (k = 0.84) and substantial for DE-CTA reading (k = 0.76). Intra-observer agreements were near perfect both for CTA (k = 0.88) and for DE-CTA reading (k = 0.82).
DE-CTA and MRA were not different in terms of diagnostic performance.
比较双能 CT 关节造影术(DE-CTA)和磁共振关节造影术(MRA)在肩关节评估盂唇撕裂中的诊断准确性。
本前瞻性机构审查委员会批准的研究纳入了 2017 年 1 月至 2018 年 10 月期间连续 47 例患者(男 28 例,女 19 例;平均年龄 34.2 岁)。所有患者均在同一天行 DE-CTA 和 MRA 检查。两名放射科医师(分别具有 25 年和 11 年的经验)在不了解临床数据的情况下,评估虚拟混合 120 kV 标准 CTA 和 DE-CTA 图像上的盂唇撕裂。第三名放射科医师(具有 18 年的经验)评估 MRA 图像。使用手术作为参考标准计算诊断准确性值。使用 K 统计量计算观察者间和观察者内的一致性。p 值<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
手术显示 47 例患者中有 38 例(80.9%)存在盂唇撕裂。MRA(Reader 3)诊断盂唇撕裂的敏感性和特异性值分别为 84.2%和 77.8%,CTA(Reader 1)分别为 84.2%和 77.8%,CTA(Reader 2)分别为 84.2%和 88.9%,DE-CTA(Reader 1)分别为 89.5%和 88.9%,DE-CTA(Reader 2)分别为 92.1%和 88.9%。与 MRA 相比,分别读取 CTA(p=0.470)和 DE-CTA 数据集(p=0.217)时,AUC 值略有增加,但无统计学意义。CTA (k=0.84)和 DE-CTA (k=0.76)的观察者间一致性接近完美。CTA (k=0.88)和 DE-CTA (k=0.82)的观察者内一致性均接近完美。
DE-CTA 和 MRA 在诊断性能方面无差异。
