Abstract:
ObjectivesTo explore the effect of diffuse glioma with precentral-gyrus invasion on fMRI activation maps by grasping T-fMRI. MethodsA total of 56 diffuse glioma patients were divided into precentral-gyrus invasion (PGI: n=21) and precentral-gyrus non-invasion (PGNI: n=35) groups. Three statistical thresholds (P value: 10-4, P1; 10-6, P2; 10-8, P3) were set to obtain the activation maps accordingly (V1, V2 and V3). The interhemispheric and bilateral precentral gyrus activation volumes ratios (IAVR and PAVR) were calculated, respectively. The activation volumes [△V1=V1-V2; △V2=V2-V3; △Vn (ipsilateral)/△Vn’ (contralateral), n=1, 2] within two statistical thresholds and the corresponding interhemispheric ratio was further compared. In addition, the associations of tumor characteristics with IAVR and PAVR were analyzed. ResultsCompared with PGNI, PGI showed significantly decreased IAVR at p1, and the same trends of PAVR in PGI at P1 and P2 (P<0.05). However, neither IAVR nor PAVR showed significant differences at P3. PGI showed significantly lower ratios of △V1/△V1’ than PGNI (P=0.02), except for △V2/△V2’. Additionally, within PGI, PAVR was negatively correlated with tumor volume (P=0.043), and the distance from the tumor to the hand-knob was positively correlated with the IAVR and PAVR (P<0.05). ConclusionDiffuse glioma invading eloquent areas tended to affect interhemispheric asymmetry of activation at relatively lower statistical thresholds than diffuse glioma without invasion, rather than stricter statistical thresholds. Multiple ranges of statistical thresholds were recommended to analyze T-fMRI.
