Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of diffusion weighted imaging(DWI) in the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma not otherwise specified and find a suitable diagnostic cutoff ADC value.Methods The MRI findings of 69 patients (69 lesions) of invasive ductal carcinoma not otherwise specified and 67 patients benign tumors (69 lesions) confirmed by pathology were evaluated.ADC values of the carcinoma,benign tumors and their contralateral normal breast tissues were obtained.Independent-samples t test and ROC curves were used.Results The ADC values of carcinoma and contralateral normal breast tissues were (0.925 ± 0.268) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.680 ± 0.446) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively,their difference had statistical significance (t =12.08,P ＜ 0.01) ; The ADC values of benign tumor and contralateral normal breast tissues were (1.350 ± 0.383) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.690± 0.356) × 10-3 mm2/s respectively,the difference had statistical significance (t =6.64,P ＜ 0.01); The difference between carcinoma and benign tumors had statistical significance as well (t =7.56,P ＜ 0.01).The area under the ROC curve of carcinoma and contralateral normal breast tissues,benign tumors and contralateral normal breast tissues,carcinoma and benign tumors were 0.915,0.794,0.847 respectively.The diagnostic cutoff value for each were 1.185 × 10-3 mm2/s,1.505 × 10-3 mm2/s,1.015 × 10-3 mm2/s respectively;Corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 89.9％ and 85.5％,79.7％ and 63.5％,75.4％ and 87.0％respectively.Conclusions MR-DWI is valuable in the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma not otherwise specified.The best ADC diagnostic cutoff value to differentiate invasive ductal carcinoma not otherwise specified from benign tumors is 1.015 × 10-3mm2/s.
