Background Gallium 68 (Ga) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MRI may improve detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (CSPC). Purpose To compare the sensitivity and specificity of Ga-PSMA PET/MRI with multiparametric MRI for detecting CSPC. Materials and Methods Men with prostate specific antigen levels of 2.5-20 ng/mL prospectively underwent Ga-PSMA PET/MRI, including multiparametric MRI sequences, between June 2019 and March 2020. Imaging was evaluated independently by two radiologists by using the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. Sensitivity and specificity for CSPC (International Society of Urological Pathology grade group ≥ 2) were compared for Ga-PSMA PET/MRI and multiparametric MRI by using the McNemar test. Decision curve analysis compared the net benefit of each imaging strategy. Results Ninety-nine men (median age, 67 years; interquartile range, 62-71 years) were included; 79% (78 of 99) underwent biopsy. CSPC was detected in 32% (25 of 78). For CSPC, specificity was higher for Ga-PSMA PET/MRI than multiparametric MRI (76% [95% CI: 62, 86] vs 49% [95% CI: 35, 63], respectively; < .001). Sensitivity was similar (88% [95% CI: 69, 98] vs 92% [95% CI: 74, 99], respectively; > .99). For PI-RADS 3 lesions, specificity was also higher for Ga-PSMA PET/MRI than for multiparametric MRI: 86% (95% CI: 73, 95) versus 59% (95% CI: 43, 74), respectively ( = .002). Decision curve analysis showed that biopsies targeted to PSMA uptake increased the net benefit of multiparametric MRI only among PI-RADS 3 lesions. The net benefit of targeted biopsy for a PI-RADS 3 lesion with PSMA uptake was higher across all threshold probabilities over 8%. The net benefit of targeted biopsy was similar for PI-RADS 4 and 5 lesions, regardless of PSMA uptake. Conclusions Gallium 68 prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/MRI improved specificity for clinically significant prostate cancer compared with multiparametric MRI, particularly in Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System grade 3 lesions. © RSNA, 2021 See also the editorial by Williams and Estes in this issue.
背景 镓 68(Ga)前列腺特异性膜抗原(PSMA)PET/MRI 可能提高临床显著前列腺癌(CSPC)的检出率。目的 比较 Ga-PSMA PET/MRI 与多参数 MRI 检测 CSPC 的敏感性和特异性。材料与方法 2019 年 6 月至 2020 年 3 月,前瞻性纳入前列腺特异性抗原水平为 2.5-20ng/mL 的男性,行 Ga-PSMA PET/MRI 检查,包括多参数 MRI 序列。由 2 位放射科医师独立使用前列腺影像报告和数据系统(PI-RADS)第 2.1 版进行影像学评估。采用 McNemar 检验比较 Ga-PSMA PET/MRI 和多参数 MRI 检测 CSPC(国际泌尿病理学会分级组≥2)的敏感性和特异性。决策曲线分析比较了每种成像策略的净获益。结果 共纳入 99 例男性(中位年龄,67 岁;四分位距,62-71 岁);79%(78/99)行活检。检出 CSPC 32%(25/78)。对于 CSPC,Ga-PSMA PET/MRI 的特异性高于多参数 MRI(分别为 76%[95%CI:62,86]和 49%[95%CI:35,63];<.001)。敏感性相似(分别为 88%[95%CI:69,98]和 92%[95%CI:74,99];>.99)。对于 PI-RADS 3 病变,Ga-PSMA PET/MRI 的特异性也高于多参数 MRI:分别为 86%(95%CI:73,95)和 59%(95%CI:43,74);=.002)。决策曲线分析显示,仅在 PI-RADS 3 病变中,针对 PSMA 摄取的活检靶向增加了多参数 MRI 的净获益。在所有阈值概率超过 8%的情况下,PI-RADS 3 病变且摄取 PSMA 的靶向活检的净获益更高。PI-RADS 4 和 5 病变的靶向活检净获益相似,而与 PSMA 摄取无关。结论 与多参数 MRI 相比,镓 68 前列腺特异性膜抗原 PET/MRI 提高了临床显著前列腺癌的特异性,特别是在前列腺影像报告和数据系统分级 3 病变中。
