Objective To improve the diagnostic accuracy of nonpalpable calcified breast lesions by establishing a Logistic multivariate prediction model to assess the probability of benign/malignant breast lesions.The proposed model is based on the clinical and BI-RADS-X-ray imaging features of patients with nonpalpable calcified breast lesions.Methods A total of 147 nonpalpable calcified breast lesions were analyzed retrospectively.Firstly, based on the personal experience,the X-ray imaging data of lesions were analyzed to obtain the BI-RADS categorization, and the ROC curve was plotted by comparison with pathology.Then the univariate and multivariate analysis was performed on the clinical and X-ray imaging features of pathology to select the independent factors related to benign/malignant features.Further,a Logistic regression model was built,the suitable cut-off point was determined, and the ROC curve was obtained.Finally,the comparisons of the diagnostic accuracy of breast lesions were made between the method using the BI-RADS categorization and the method using the Logistic regression model.Results The AUC of the BI-RADS method was 0.867 9.The univariate analysis showed that there exist statistical differences among clinical features of patients(age,location,and quadrant),as well as the BI-RADS-X-ray imaging features (distribution,morphological and gland density).Also,by using the multivariate Logistic regression equation,the statistical differences among age,quadrant and morphological difference can be observed.The AUC using the built Logistic regression model was 0.906 3.Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy of breast lesions using the Logistic model is higher than that using the BI-RADS categorization method.Therefore, the proposed model is valuable for obtaining accurate diagnosis of breast lesions.

Objective To determine whether tChoI and ADC and their changes could be applied to predict pathologic response be-fore,during and after NAC of locally advanced breast.To assess the diagnostic performance of each parameter.Methods The tChoI and ADC and their changes in 22 women who underwent MRI before,during and after the NAC were analyzed prospectively.All pa-tients were divided into major histological response group and non-major histological response group by methods of Miller and Payne system according to the final pathologic response.Pre-and post-treatment measurements and changes in tChoI and ADC values in MHR versus NMHR were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.ROC curve analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic per-formance of each parameter and also to identify which parameter could be used to predict the pathologic response to NAC and find the optimal cut off value for MHR prediction.Results After NAC,14 patients showed MHR and 8 showed NMHR.After NAC,all the parameters and their changes were significantly different between the MHR and NMHR groups,the change rate of all parameters af-ter NAC can actively diagnosis the MHR according ROC(AUC>0.5).Using 0.913 ×10 -3 mm2/s of ADCmin after NAC as the cut off value,prediction of MHR with sensitivity and specificity was 85.7% and 100%,respectively.Using 81.25% of the change rate of tCho I after NAC as the cut off value,prediction of MHR with sensitivity and specificity was 71.4% and 100%,respectively(AUC=0.881,P =0.008).The △ADCmin 2% and △tChoI2% are better than △ADCmean 2%.Conclusion Application of 3D 1 H-MRS and DWI can predict pathologic response and may provide more detailed and accurate evidence for subsequent treatment.

Objective To study CT value of diagnosis and identified diagnosis in osteolytic metastases of the vertebral column through describing their CT manifestation.Methods In 46 patients, 72 vertebrae osteolytic metastases were analyzed and compared with X-ray findings of 28 cases.Results In 72 vertebrae osteolytic metastases, there were destruction of 74 corpus vertebrae in 45 patients, of pediculus arcus vertebraes in 22 cases, of processus transverses in 15 cases, of processus spinosus in 11 cases and lamina vertebrae in 11 cases. Micrometastases were concentrated in corpus vertebrae(45/49). CT found the rate of bone-destruction, affection of vertebrae canal and soft tissue around vertebrae were 100%, 67.8% and 71.4%, but the corresponding rates were only 53.6%, 14.3% and 32.1% by X-ray. Conclusion Vertebral column metastases destructed corpus vertebrae at first, vertebral metastases are the origin or base of destruction of the pediculus arcus vertebrae, lamina vertebrae, processus transverses and processus spinous. CT scanning is more sensitive in finding and evaluating the lesions than X-ray plain film.
