Abstract:
Purpose The study aims to investigate the effects of various ages,genders and body mass index(BMI)on amide proton transfer weighted(APTw)in the right kidney of normal Chinese.Materials and Methods A total of 182 healthy volunteers enrolled from September 2021 to February 2022 at Xi'an GaoXin Hospital were prospectively performed.There were 7 groups(11-80 years)according to age per 10 years;2 groups according to gender,male and female;4 groups according to BMI,slim group,normal group,overweight group and obese group.3D-APTw imaging of the right kidney was performed via intermittent breath-holding.The correlation between APT values and age and BMI was analyzed,and the differences in APT values between age groups,different BMI groups and gender were analyzed,respectively.Results A total of 131 cases were finally included.There was a weak positive correlation between APT and age(r=0.325,P<0.001).There were statistical difference in APT values among different age groups(F=3.566,P=0.003),the post-hoc analysis showed that the APT values of 11-20 years[(1.853±0.357)%]old group was significantly lower than those of 41-50 years[(2.387±0.432)%]old group and 51-60 years[(2.336±0.451)%]old group(P<0.05);the APT value of male[1.980(2.320,1.820)%]was significantly lower than that of female[2.284(2.586,1.825)%;Z=2.301,P=0.021].There was a very weak positive correlation between APT and BMI(r=0.181,P=0.039),with statistically different APT values among BMI groups(F=3.265,P=0.024).The results of intra-group analysis showed that APT values in emaciation group were significantly lower than those in normal group,overweight group and obesity group,respectively(all P<0.05).Conclusion The APT value of the right kidney may be correlated with age and BMI,with males lower than females.The effect of age,gender and BMI on APT on the clinical application of 3D-APTw may be considered.
