In this preliminary study, our aim was to assess the utility of quantitative native-T (T-pre), iron-corrected T (cT) of the liver/spleen and T mapping of the liver obtained during hepatobiliary phase (T-HBP) post-gadoxetate disodium, compared to spleen size/volume and APRI (aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index) for noninvasive diagnosis of clinically significant portal hypertension [CSPH, defined as hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) ≥ 10 mm Hg].
Forty-nine patients (M/F: 27/22, mean age 53y) with chronic liver disease, HVPG measurement and MRI were included. Breath-held T and cT measurements were obtained using an inversion recovery Look-Locker sequence and a T2* corrected modified Look-Locker sequence, respectively. Liver T-pre (n = 49), spleen T (obtained pre-contrast, n = 47), liver and spleen cT (both obtained pre-contrast, n = 30), liver T-HBP (obtained 20 min post gadoxetate disodium injection, n = 36) and liver T uptake (ΔT, n = 36) were measured. Spleen size/volume and APRI were also obtained. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to assess the correlation between each of liver/spleen T/cT parameters, spleen size/volume and APRI with HVPG. ROC analysis was performed to determine the performance of measured parameters for diagnosis of CSPH.
There were 12/49 (24%) patients with CSPH. Liver T-pre (r = 0.287, p = 0.045), liver T-HBP (r = 0.543, p = 0.001), liver ΔT (r = - 0.437, p = 0.008), spleen T (r = 0.311, p = 0.033) and APRI (r = 0.394, p = 0.005) were all significantly correlated with HVPG, while liver cT, spleen cT and spleen size/volume were not. The highest AUCs for the diagnosis of CSPH were achieved with liver T-HBP, liver ΔT and spleen T: 0.881 (95%CI 0.76-1.0, p = 0.001), 0.852 (0.72-0.98, p = 0.002) and 0.781 (0.60-0.95, p = 0.004), respectively.
Our preliminary results demonstrate the potential of liver T mapping obtained during HBP post gadoxetate disodium for the diagnosis of CSPH. These results require further validation.
在这项初步研究中,我们旨在评估定量天然 T(T-pre)、铁校正 T(cT)的肝/脾和肝 T 映射(T-HBP)在获得后肝胆期(post-gadoxetate disodium),与脾大小/体积和 APRI(天冬氨酸氨基转移酶与血小板比值指数)在诊断临床显著门脉高压(CSPH,定义为肝静脉压力梯度[HVPG]≥10mmHg)方面的应用。
纳入 49 例慢性肝病患者(男/女:27/22,平均年龄 53 岁),进行 HVPG 测量和 MRI 检查。采用反转恢复 Look-Locker 序列和 T2*校正的改良 Look-Locker 序列获得呼吸暂停 T 和 cT 测量值。测量了 49 例患者的肝脏 T-pre(n=49)、脾脏 T(未增强时,n=47)、肝脏和脾脏 cT(均未增强时,n=30)、肝脏 T-HBP(增强后 20 分钟,n=36)和肝脏 T 摄取(ΔT,n=36)。还获得了脾脏大小/体积和 APRI。采用 Spearman 相关系数评估肝脏/脾脏 T/cT 参数、脾脏大小/体积和 APRI 与 HVPG 之间的相关性。采用 ROC 分析确定测量参数在诊断 CSPH 中的性能。
有 12/49(24%)例患者存在 CSPH。肝脏 T-pre(r=0.287,p=0.045)、肝脏 T-HBP(r=0.543,p=0.001)、肝脏ΔT(r=−0.437,p=0.008)、脾脏 T(r=0.311,p=0.033)和 APRI(r=0.394,p=0.005)均与 HVPG 显著相关,而肝脏 cT、脾脏 cT 和脾脏大小/体积则无相关性。肝脏 T-HBP、肝脏ΔT 和脾脏 T 用于诊断 CSPH 的 AUC 值最高:0.881(95%CI 0.76-1.0,p=0.001)、0.852(0.72-0.98,p=0.002)和 0.781(0.60-0.95,p=0.004)。
我们的初步结果表明,在获得肝胆期后,使用钆塞酸二钠获得的肝 T 映射在诊断 CSPH 方面具有潜力。这些结果需要进一步验证。
