To evaluate clinical value of suspicious calcification in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of breast lesions using contrast-enhanced spectral mammography. Ninty-four patients who underwent CESM with suspicious calcification on the low-energy(LE) images in Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from April 2017 to April 2019 were collected.All patients were female, with an average age of 51 years (26 to 89 years).All patients underwent biopsy or surgery to obtain pathological results. Two experienced radiologists provide BI-RADS classification for LE images and CESM. To assess pairwise agreement between BI-RADS classification on CESM and LE images among readers, test were calculated. Using pathology results as the gold standard,the diagnostic efficacy of LE images and CESM were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve, and test was used to compare the areas under the ROC curves (AUC) among them, calculated the sensitivity, specificity. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to analyze the consistency of the maximum image diameter and pathological diameter of malignant lesions. Two experienced radiologists provided the preferred surgical treatment (breast conservation therapy versus mastectomy) for all malignant cases according the imaging findings. McNemars test was used to compare the difference between surgical decision making and final surgical procedure. One hundred and three lesions were found in 94 patients, in which 49 were benign and 54 were malignant.Overall agreement on BI-RADS classification between LE imaging and CESM among readers was substantial (0.74 vs 0.86), CESM was higher than LE images. The sensitivity of LE images and CESM were 80.4%, 96.2%, specificity was 75.0%, 94.0%, AUC were 0.810, 0.960 respectively. There was significant difference of the AUC between LE images and CESM (3.66, 0.01). The ICC of malignant lesions measured on LE images and CESM and histopathological results were 0.86 and 0.96, respectively. Based on LE images, 44.4%(24/54) of patients recommended BCT, 55.6%(30/54) of patients recommended mastectomy, the difference was statistically significant (0.008). Based on CESM, 27.8%(15/54) of patients recommended breast conservation therapy, 72.2%(39/54) of patients recommended mastectomy,there was no significant statistically difference with the final surgical procedure (0.125). CESM has a high diagnostic accuracy for suspicious calcification of breast. And its accuracy in assessing malignant lesion size is higher, which can provide a basis for preoperative surgical decision making.
探讨对比增强光谱乳腺摄影中可疑钙化灶在乳腺病变诊断及手术治疗中的临床价值。收集2017年4月至2019年4月在苏州大学附属第三医院行对比增强光谱乳腺摄影(CESM)且低能量(LE)图像上有可疑钙化灶的94例患者。所有患者均为女性,平均年龄51岁(26~89岁)。所有患者均接受活检或手术以获取病理结果。两名经验丰富的放射科医生对LE图像和CESM进行乳腺影像报告和数据系统(BI-RADS)分类。为评估读者间CESM与LE图像上BI-RADS分类的一致性,计算检验值。以病理结果为金标准,通过绘制受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线分析LE图像和CESM的诊断效能,并用检验比较两者的ROC曲线下面积(AUC),计算敏感度、特异度。采用组内相关系数(ICC)分析恶性病变最大图像直径与病理直径的一致性。两名经验丰富的放射科医生根据影像表现为所有恶性病例提供首选手术治疗方案(保乳治疗与乳房切除术)。采用McNemar检验比较手术决策与最终手术方式的差异。94例患者共发现103个病灶,其中49个为良性,54个为恶性。读者间LE成像与CESM在BI-RADS分类上总体一致性较高(0.74对0.86),CESM高于LE图像。LE图像和CESM的敏感度分别为80.4%、96.2%,特异度分别为75.0%、94.0%,AUC分别为0.810、0.960。LE图像与CESM的AUC差异有统计学意义(3.66,0.01)。LE图像、CESM测量的恶性病变与组织病理学结果的ICC分别为0.86和0.96。基于LE图像,44.4%(24/54)的患者推荐保乳治疗,55.6%(30/54)的患者推荐乳房切除术,差异有统计学意义(0.008)。基于CESM,27.8%(15/54)的患者推荐保乳治疗,72.2%(39/54)的患者推荐乳房切除术,与最终手术方式相比差异无统计学意义(0.125)。CESM对乳腺可疑钙化灶具有较高的诊断准确性。其在评估恶性病变大小方面的准确性更高,可为术前手术决策提供依据。
