ABSTRACT

Reconhecido pela Organização Mundial de Saúde em 2016, o linfoma anaplásico de grandes células associado ao implante mamário (BIA-ALCL) é um subtipo incomum de linfoma não Hodgkin de células T, que se desenvolve após a inserção de próteses mamárias. A doença é uma afecção rara que afeta cerca de uma a cada 30.000 pessoas com implante mamário texturizado. As principais manifestações clínicas são o seroma tardio, assimetria mamária, massa e contratura capsular, com frequência mais elevada do primeiro. O explante da prótese com capsulectomia total pode ser suficiente para tratar o ALCL, com ressecções estendidas a locais adjacentes, quando necessário. Entretanto, em alguns casos, é realizada a radioterapia e/ou quimioterapia adjuvante. Conclui-se que, para um diagnóstico precoce e um tratamento efetivo, mulheres com seroma de aparecimento súbito e tardio deverão realizar exames complementares para a exclusão dessa afecção, mesmo com tempo inferior à média de desenvolvimento, que é de cerca de 10,6 anos.


Recognized by the World Health Organization in 2016, breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is an uncommon subtype of T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develops after the insertion of breast implants. The disease is a rare condition that affects approximately one in every 30,000 people with textured breast implants. The main clinical manifestations are late seroma, breast asymmetry, mass, and capsular contracture, with a higher frequency of the former. Explantation of the prosthesis with total capsulectomy may be sufficient to treat ALCL, with resections extended to adjacent sites when necessary. However, in some cases, adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy is performed. It is concluded that, for an early diagnosis and effective treatment, women with sudden and late-onset seroma should undergo additional tests to exclude this condition, even with a shorter development time than the average, which is around 10.6 years.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To investigate the effect of shortening the acquisition time of 18F-D6-AV133 PET/CT on image quality and diagnostic efficacy in Parkinson's disease.Materials and Methods A total of 51 participants(27 of Parkinson's disease,24 of healthy-controls)from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from October 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively selected.Images were obtained after the injection of the tracer 18F-D6-AV133(371.04±16.30)MBq for 60 min,with collection times of 10 min.Four sets of images were reconstructed using CT attenuation correction with acquisition times of 3,5,7 and 10 min.Semi-quantitative analysis was performed on the PET images,calculating the striatum-to-occipital lobe standardized uptake value ratio(SUVR).Two physicians independently conducted qualitative evaluations for each image group.The differences of SUVR and visual score results among four sets of images were performed.The optimal critical value of SUVR was obtained by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic curve of the subjects.Results The visual analysis of image quality had a strong consistency between the two doctors(ICC=0.853,P<0.001).The images with acquisition time of 5 min could reach the common quality level in clinical work,accounting for 78.4%(40/51).The semi-quantitative results of image quality showed that there was no significant difference between SUVR and diagnostic efficiency obtained by acquisition time 5 min and 10 min(Z=1.821,P=0.069),and the best critical value of the two groups was equal to 3.Therefore,properly shortening the acquisition time had no effect on the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.Conclusion With the development and advancement of technical equipment,PET image quality is gradually improving and the scanning time is also gradually shortening.The acquisition time for 18F-D6-AV133 can be shortened from the conventional 10 min to 5 min.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To investigate the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET/CT radiomic features before treatment for progression free survival(PFS)and overall survival(OS)in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Materials and Methods A total of 135 patients with pathologically proven DLBCL in Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging prior to treatment were retrospectively collected.Patients were randomly divided into training set and test set using 8∶2,and then the training set was divided into training set and verification set using 8∶2 to construct the model.Semi-automatically delineated patients'lymphoma lesions as regions of interest and extracted the features.Univariate COX and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression were used to screen the features,and the non-zero radiomic features were obtained and the weight coefficients were used to calculate the Radscore value of each patient,and the predictive value of Radscore on PFS and OS was analyzed.Three models were established using traditional prognostic indicators(metabolic parameters and clinical factors),Radscore and combination.C-index,time-dependent area under the curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the model prediction efficiency.Finally,based on the optimal model,a column diagram was drawn,and the calibration curve was used to verify the efficiency of the column diagram.Results The combined model predicted PFS and OS at 3 and 5 years better than the traditional prognostic index model and Radscore model(Z=0.962 1-2.253 9,all P<0.05).Decision curve showed that the combined model achieved the greatest clinical net benefit.The calibration curve showed that the predicted values of the nomogram were in good agreement with the observed values.Conclusion Radscore is an independent prognostic factor for survival in DLBCL patients.The combined model has great application value in guiding the formulation of clinical individualized treatment plan.

Methods:A total of 147 patients (73 males, 74 females, age (59.8±10.2) years) with pathological confirmed adenocarcinoma between January 2016 and June 2020 in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University were retrospectively included. The differences of clinical data (smoking history, tumor location and clinical stage), CT features (maximum diameter, ground-glass opacity content, lobulation, speculation, cavitation, air-bronchogram, pleural retraction and bronchial cut-off sign), 18F-FDG PET/CT traditional metabolic parameters (SUV max, SUV mean, metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG)) and intratumoral heterogeneity parameters ( CV, heterogeneity index (HI)) were analyzed between patients with EGFR mutation and patients with EGFR wild-type. Independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to analyze the data. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of EGFR mutation. ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of clinical and PET/CT information. Results:Among 147 patients, 87 were with EGFR mutation and 60 were with EGFR wild-type. There were significant differences in gender (male/female), smoking history (with/without), location (peripheral lesion/central lesion), pleural retraction (with/without), SUV max, SUV mean, TLG, CV and HI ( χ2 values: 4.72-23.89, z values: from -2.31 to 5.74, all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that smoking history (odds ratio ( OR)=0.167, 95% CI: 0.076-0.366; P<0.001), pleural retraction ( OR=1.404, 95% CI: 1.115-3.745; P=0.012), SUV max ( OR=0.922, 95% CI: 0.855-0.995; P=0.003), TLG ( OR=0.991, 95% CI: 0.986-0.996; P=0.001) and HI ( OR=0.796, 95% CI: 0.700-0.859; P<0.001) were predictors of EGFR mutation. ROC curve analysis showed the AUC of HI was 0.779, with the sensitivity of 76.67%(46/60) and the specificity of 79.31%(69/87). The predictive model was constructed by combining smoking history, pleural retraction, TLG, SUV max and HI, and the AUC was 0.908, with the sensitivity of 88.33%(53/60) and the specificity of 68.97%(60/87). The difference of AUCs between HI and the predictive model was statistically significant ( z=3.71, P<0.001). Conclusion:HI can predict EGFR mutations better, and the predictive value for EGFR mutations can be enhanced when combining HI with smoking history, pleural retraction, TLG and SUV max.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate whether the image quality of total-body PET/CT (TB PET/CT) with 1 min acquisition can meet the clinical diagnostic requirements.Methods:From May 2019 to September 2021, a total of 90 malignant tumor patients (60 males, 30 females, age 31-86 years) with primary lesions confirmed by pathological diagnosis in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were respectively analyzed. All patients underwent conventional PET/CT (C PET/CT) scan with conventional clinical acquisition and TB PET/CT scan with 1 min acquisition after injecting 18F-FDG in random order. Paired t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the image quality of these two scans. Results:SUV max of primary lesions in TB PET/CT group was significantly higher than that in C PET/CT group (15.9(7.9, 24.6) vs 12.5(5.8, 16.6); z=8.14, P<0.001), so were signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the blood pool, liver, muscles (9.3±3.0, 11.4(9.5, 14.2), 8.3(7.3, 10.1) vs 6.2±1.7, 9.4(7.7, 11.8), 6.0(4.9, 7.1)), tumor-to-blood pool ratio (TBR) (9.3(4.3, 14.8) vs 8.5(4.3, 11.1)), tumor-to-liver ratio (TLR) (6.7(3.0, 10.4) vs 6.1(2.9, 7.7)), tumor-to-muscle ratio (TMR) (23.2(11.5, 38.0) vs 18.3(9.6, 26.6); t=9.36, z values: 4.44-7.40, all P<0.001). Conclusion:The image quality of TB PET/CT scan with 1 min acquisition can meet the diagnostic requirements, and is better than the C PET/CT image quality with conventional clinical acquisition.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore whether multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) combined with 68Ga-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT can improve the detection efficiency of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 152 patients (age (68.5±8.5) years) who underwent mpMRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT examination for suspected prostate cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Air Force Medical University from January 2021 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, with the histopathological results from transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy as reference. Lesions with Gleason scores (GS) ≥3+ 4 from the biopsy were diagnosed with csPCa, and lesions with negative biopsy or GS 6 were diagnosed with non-csPCa. MpMRI was evaluated independently by two radiologists according to the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2.1. The radioactive uptake of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT in prostate lesions was evaluated by SUV max. The independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare differences between the two groups, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. ROC curves analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacies of individual and combined factors and Delong test was used. Results:There were 85 csPCa and 67 non-csPCa confirmed. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), PI-RADS score and SUV max were significantly different between the csPCa group and the non-csPCa group ( χ2=68.06, U values: -7.66, -8.98, all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that PI-RADS score (odds ratio ( OR)=3.424, 95% CI: 1.651-7.100) and SUV max ( OR=1.931, 95% CI: 1.403-2.658) were independent predictors of csPCa (both P<0.001). ROC curves analysis revealed that the cut-off value for diagnosing csPCa was 4 for PI-RADS score and 5.6 for SUV max. The accuracy of mpMRI and PET/CT alone in csPCa diagnosis was 80%(122/152) (AUC of 0.789(95% CI: 0.711-0.866) with the sensitivity and specificity of 91%(77/85) and 67%(45/67)), and 87%(132/152) (AUC of 0.876(95% CI: 0.817-0.936) with the sensitivity and specificity of 81%(69/85) and 94%(63/67)), respectively. Several joint models incorporating 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT with mpMRI data were investigated, the model of PI-RADS 5 or PI-RADS 3-4 and SUV max>5.6 showed better performance than mpMRI and PET/CT alone and other joint models ( z values: 2.01-3.64, all P<0.05), with the accuracy of 91%(138/152) (AUC of 0.910(95% CI: 0.857-0.962) with the sensitivity and specificity of 89%(76/85) and 93%(62/67)). Conclusion:MpMRI combined with 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT can significantly improve the detection efficiency of csPCa, with the principal effect being improved in risk stratification of PI-RADS 3-4 lesions in mpMRI.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of 18F-FDG PET-based radiomics models for lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) prior to surgery. Methods:Eighty-seven patients with LAC (42 males, 45 females, age: (64.6±9.0) years; 90 lesions) pathologically confirmed in the Affiliated Taizhou People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between August 2018 and August 2022 were retrospectively included. Based on the radiomics features extracted from PET images, the machine learning models were constructed by using the support vector machine (SVM), logical regression (LR), decision tree (DT), and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Stratified sampling (Python′s StratifiedkFold function) was employed to divide the data into training set and test set at a ratio of 8∶2. The model stability was assessed using the 50% discount cross-validation. The ROC curve was drawn, and the AUC was calculated to evaluate the value of radiomics models in predicting LVI and VPI in LAC. Delong test was used to compare AUCs of different models.Results:The radiomics models (SVM, LR, DT, KNN) based on PET images showed good predictive value for LVI and VPI in patients with LAC. For LVI, the AUCs were 0.91, 0.90, 0.91, 0.91 in the training set, and were 0.85, 0.87, 0.77, 0.78 in the test set; for VPI, the AUCs were 0.86, 0.86, 0.84, 0.81 in the training set, and were 0.82, 0.80, 0.69, 0.78 in the test set. The F1 scores of the SVM model were the best (0.59 and 0.66 for predicting LVI and VPI respectively). The Delong test showed that there were no significant differences in AUCs among the four models ( z values: from -1.46 to 1.71, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The machine learning models based on 18F-FDG PET radiomics features are effective in predicting LVI and VPI in patients with LAC prior to surgery. These models can assist clinicians in stratifying the risk of LAC and making informed clinical decisions. The SVM model has the best performance in predicting LVI and VPI.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To evaluate the value of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT-based radiomics models in differentiation between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:Data from 50 patients with prostate cancer (age: (70.0±8.8) years) and 25 patients with BPH (age: (66.9±9.4) years) who underwent 18F-PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging and prostate biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from May 2020 to September 2022 were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into the training set ( n=53) and test set ( n=22) in the ratio of 7∶3 by using random seed number. The ROIs were delineated based on PET and CT images, and radiomics features were extracted respectively. Feature selection was performed using the minimum redundancy and maximum relevance (mRMR) and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm. PET and PET/CT radiomics models were generated using logistic regression. ROC curve analysis was employed for model evaluation. In addition, comparisons of the 2 radiomics models with parameters including the ratio of free prostate specific antigen (fPSA)/total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), PET metabolic parameters, as well as prostate cancer molecular imaging standardize evaluation (PROMISE) were conducted (Delong test). Results:A total of 7 features were included in the PET radiomics model, and 3 CT-based features and 4 PET-based features were included in the PET/CT radiomics model. The AUCs of PET and PET/CT radiomics models in the training set and test set were 0.941, 0.914 and 0.965, 0.914, respectively, which were higher than those of fPSA/tPSA (0.719 and 0.710), SUV max(0.748 and 0.800), peak of SUV (SUV peak, 0.722 and 0.771), metabolic tumor volume (MTV, 0.640 and 0.595), total lesion uptake (TLU, 0.525 and 0.476) and PROMISE (0.644 and 0.667)[ z values for the training set: from -6.26 to -3.13, all P<0.01; z values for the test set: from -3.16 to -1.08, P>0.05 (fPSA/tPSA, SUV max, SUV peak) or P<0.05 (MTV, TLU, PROMISE)]. The differential diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of PET and PET/CT radiomics models in the test set were 86.36%(19/22), 13/15, 6/7 and 90.91%(20/22), 15/15, 5/7, respectively. Conclusion:Compared with the clinical and PET parameters, PSMA PET/CT-based radiomics model can further improve the efficiency of differential diagnosis between prostate cancer and BPH.
