Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative parameters of synthetic MRI in patients with prostate cancer (PCa).Methods:From April 2018 to April 2019, 25 PCa patients confirmed by whole-mount pathology were prospectively enrolled in Beijing Hospital. All patients underwent prostate MRI examinations including DWI and synthetic MRI. Four kinds of tissue types were identified in pathology, including PCa, stromal hyperplasia (SH), glandular hyperplasia (GH) and prostatitis. According to the pathological results, quantitative parameters including ADC, T 1, T 2 and proton density (PD) values were measured on DWI and synthetic MRI. One-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis H test was performed to compare the difference of each parameter among PCa, SH or GH in the transitional zone (TZ). The difference of each parameter between PCa and prostatitis in the peripheral zone (PZ) was evaluated by using independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test. The diagnostic performance of each parameter in discriminating PCa from other benign conditions was evaluated by using ROC curve. Area under the curve (AUC) of each parameter was compared by using DeLong test. Results:The overall differences of T 1, T 2 PD and ADC values were statistically significant among PCa and other benign conditions. The T 1, T 2 and ADC values of PCa in the TZ were lower than those in the SH ( P=0.041, 0.030,<0.001) and GH (all P<0.001). The PD value of PCa in the TZ was lower than that in the GH ( P=0.040). The differences of T 1, T 2, PD and ADC values between PCa and prostatitis in the PZ were significant ( P<0.05). The AUC of ADC value (0.943) was higher than that of T 1 (0.691, P=0.001), PD (0.555, P=0.002) and T 2 (0.754, P=0.016) values in differentiating PCa from SH. For discriminating PCa and GH, T 1, T 2 and ADC showed similar AUC ( P>0.05), which were higher than AUC of PD value ( P=0.001). For discriminating PCa and prostatitis, T 1, T 2, PD and ADC values showed similar AUC ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Quantitative parameters of synthetic MRI were practical tools for discriminating PCa from other benign pathologies.
