Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in grading of glioma.Methods 3.0T DCE-MRI and DTI scans were performed in 31 patients with glioma confirmed by pathology.Capacity volume transfer constant (Ktrans ),extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve ),exchange rate constant (Kep ),initial area under the gadolinium concentration-time curve (iAUC),and relative fractional anisotropy (rFA)were measured in the low grade glioma (LGG)and the high grade glioma (HGG).The correlation between parameters of DCE-MRI and rFA with microvessel denisity (MVD)and microvessel structure (MVS)were performed by Spearman rank correlation analysis.Results The MVD and MVS were positive correlation with the grading of glioma.Ktrans ,Kep ,Ve ,iAUC and rFA values of the LGG were (0.02±0.01)min-1 ,1.82 (0.18-8.54)min-1 ,0.05±0.03, 2.47±1.66 and 0.55±0.22,respectively.Ktrans ,Kep ,Ve ,iAUC and rFA values of the HGG were (0.1 1±0.02)min-1 ,1.31 (0.12-7.58)min-1 ,0.28±0.10,10.84 ±6.46 and 0.28 ±0.08,respectively.The differences of all parameters between the LGG and the HGG were statistically significant,except for Kep (P <0.05 ).Ktrans ,Ve and iAUC values were positive correlation with MVD and MVS (P <0.05),and rFA values were negative correlation with MVD and MVS (P <0.01).Conclusion The quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI and DTI have important values in grading of glioma and evaluating tumor angiogenesis and microvessel structure.
