Stiffness of meningioma is an important factor affecting the surgical resection and the prognosis of patients.
To examine the feasibility of APTw-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in evaluating meningioma stiffness.
Retrospective.
Seventy-one patient with meningiomas, 39 were male and 32 were female; the mean age was 51 ± 10 years.
FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 3.0T; Turbo-spin-echo T -weighted and Gd-T -weighted sequence; Turbo-spin-echo T -weighted sequence; 2D fat-suppressed, turbo-spin-echo APTw pulse sequence.
The T WI signal intensity score, T WI signal intensity score, APTw , APTw , and APTw values were compared between soft, medium stiff and stiff meningiomas or non-stiff meningiomas and stiff meningiomas group.
Chi-square test, one-way ANOVA analysis, independent-samples t-test, intra-class correlation coefficient, rank-sum test, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant in all tests.
APTw and APTw in the stiff group were significantly lower than that in the non-stiff group (2.79% ± 0.42% vs. 1.90% ± 0.60% and 3.20% ± 0.31% vs. 2.55% ± 0.61%). APTw and APTw in the stiff group were significantly lower than that in the medium stiff and soft groups (1.90% ± 0.60% vs. 2.69% ± 0.40% and 3.12% ± 0.32%, 2.55% ± 0.61% vs. 3.17% ± 0.33% and 3.39% ± 0.18%), APTw in the medium stiff group was significantly lower than in the soft group, there was no significant difference in APTw between the medium stiff and soft groups (P = 0.190). APTw showed the best diagnostic performance for evaluating meningioma stiffness with an area under the curve of 0.913, when the APTw was lower than 2.4%, the meningioma was defined as a stiff tumor, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 87.1%, 87.5%, and 85.9%, respectively.
APTw-MRI could be used to evaluate meningioma stiffness, with APTw having the best evaluative efficiency.

脑膜瘤的硬度是影响手术切除及患者预后的重要因素。
探讨非对称相位对比加权磁共振成像（APTw-MRI）评估脑膜瘤硬度的可行性。
回顾性研究。
71例脑膜瘤患者，男性39例，女性32例；平均年龄51±10岁。
场强/序列：3.0T；快速自旋回波T加权和钆喷酸葡胺T加权序列；快速自旋回波T加权序列；二维脂肪抑制快速自旋回波APTw脉冲序列。
比较软、中等硬度和硬脑膜瘤组或非硬脑膜瘤组与硬脑膜瘤组之间的T2WI信号强度评分、T1WI信号强度评分、APTw、APTw及APTw值。
卡方检验、单因素方差分析、独立样本t检验、组内相关系数、秩和检验、受试者工作特征曲线分析。所有检验中P<0.05认为具有统计学意义。
硬脑膜瘤组的APTw和APTw显著低于非硬脑膜瘤组（2.79%±0.42%对1.90%±0.60%以及3.20%±0.31%对2.55%±0.61%）。硬脑膜瘤组的APTw和APTw显著低于中等硬度和软脑膜瘤组（1.90%±0.60%对2.69%±0.40%以及3.12%±0.32%，2.55%±0.61%对3.17%±0.33%以及3.39%±0.18%），中等硬度组的APTw显著低于软脑膜瘤组，中等硬度和软脑膜瘤组之间的APTw无显著差异（P=0.190）。APTw在评估脑膜瘤硬度方面表现出最佳诊断性能，曲线下面积为0.913，当APTw低于2.4%时，将脑膜瘤定义为硬肿瘤，敏感性、特异性和准确性分别为87.1%、87.5%和85.9%。
APTw-MRI可用于评估脑膜瘤硬度，其中APTw评估效率最佳。
