Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of ADC and T2WI in differentiating of skull base chordoma and invasive pituitary adenomas(IPA).Methods 15 patients with skull base chordoma and 19 patients with IPA which involve paranasal sinus were reviewed retrospectively.All diagnosis were demonstrated by pathology.Quantitative analysis of minimum ADC, normal ADC and rT2WI values were performed.Differences in minimum ADC, normal ADC and rT2WI values between skull base chordoma and IPA were evaluated using the independent samples t test and receiver operating curves(ROC).Results Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference among normal ADC, minimum ADC and rT2WI values (P<0.01),and the area under the ROC curves decreased in turn.Conclusion Both ADC values and rT2WI SI are effective parameter for differentiating diagnosis of skull base chordoma and IPA.
