Abstract:
Objective:To compare the value of respiratory-triggered diffusion-weighted imaging with fat suppression(RTIR-DWI)and common breath-hold DWI(BH-DWI)for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis. Methods:A total of 30 cases of pancreatic cancer and 17 cases of mass-like pancreatitis,which were confirmed by surgical pa-thology,underwent DWI at 3.0T before operation.DWI based on SE-EPI sequence,of which b value was 600 s/mm2 ,included BH-DWI and RTIR-DWI.Apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)value of pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis were statis-tically analyzed and compared.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze and compare the effect of two DWI sequences in the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis.Results:On BH-DWI,ADC value did not have significant difference between pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis(P >0.05).On RTIR-DWI,ADC value had significant difference between pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis(P <0.01).On RTIR-DWI,the sensitivity,speci-ficity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 86.7%,88.9%,96.3% and 66.7%,respectively,when ADC≥1.33×10-3 mm2/s was used as a cutoff for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer from mass-like pancreatitis.On BH-DWI,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value was 73.3%,88.9%,95.7% and 50.0%,respectively,when ADC≥ 1.45 × 10-3 mm2/s was used as a cutoff for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic cancer from mass-like pancreatitis.Conclusions:Compared to BH-DWI,RTIR-DWI may be more conducive to the diagnosis and differentiation of pancreatic cancer and mass-like pancreatitis.
