Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of 3.0T MR high field high-b-value diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in prostate cancer (PCa) and to analyze its correlation with Gleason classification.Methods A total of 78 cases proved by operation and pathology were collected,including 41 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and 37 cases of PCa.PCa patients were classified according to postoperative pathological scores,and their correlation with ADC values was analyzed subsequently.Parameter scanning was performed in all patients by using Philps 3.0T MR with b value at 0 s/mm2,1 000 s/mm2 and 1 500 s/mm2.The signal intensity and ADC value of PCa and BPH were compared under two kinds of high-b-values,and the correlation between ADC value and Gleason classification was analyzed.Results It was found that the specificity and accuracy of T2WI combined with b value of 1 500 s/mm2 were higher than these of T2WI combined with b value of 1 000 s/mm2 for the diagnosis of PCa.The ranking result of ADC value corresponding to Gleason score of PCa after operation was:2-4 points ＞ 5-6 points ＞7 points ＞ 8-10 points.Besides,the ADC value of the corresponding lesion with b value of 1 500 s/mm2 was lower than that with b value of 1 000 s/mm2,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion High field high-b-value DWI combined with T2WI is of high value in differential diagnosis of PCa and BPH,and the specificity and accuracy of PCa and BPH improve obviously with the increase of the b value.Additionally,the ADC value is negatively correlated with the Gleason score.
