RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the value of 3.0T dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI)quantitative parameters for the diagnosis,pathological classification,clinical staging and lymph node status of cervical cancer.Methods The DCE-MRI data of 41 cases with cervical cancer and 1 5 cases with normal cervix were analyzed retrospectively.The quantitative parameters including Ktrans,Kepand Ve were obtained by Siemens Tissue 4D software.Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 22.0.Results The Ktransand Kepvalues of cervical cancer group were significantly higher than normal cervix group(P<0.001),and there was no statistical difference in Vevalue between the two groups(P>0.05).The Ktransvalue of squamous carcinoma was significantly higher than adenocarcinoma(P<0.05),while Kep and Vevalues showed no statistical differences(P>0.05).The Ktransvalue of International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)for early cervical cancer was significantly lower than that for advanced cervical cancer(P<0.05),while Kepand Vevalues showed no statistical differences (P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in Ktrans,Kepand Vevalues between cervical cancer with or without lymph node metastasis(P>0.05).Conclusion The quantitative parameters of 3.0T DCE-MRI can be used for the diagnosis, pathological classification and clinical staging of cervical cancer,and it is also of great significance for the rational formulation of the clinical treatment plan.
RESUMO
Objective To study classification of vascular sign of tiny ground glass nodules-like lung adenocarcinoma in HRCT, and explore its value to differentiate benign from malignant of the ground glass nodules(GGN).Methods 87 patients with tiny ground glass nodules-like lung adenocarcinoma examined on HRCT were retrospectively evaluated.According to the new pathological classification standard of lung adenocarcinoma,they were divided into three groups:(1)pre-invasive group(n=25),including 14 cases of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia(AAH)and 11 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS);(2)minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA)group(n=35);(3)invasive adenocarcinoma(IAC)group(n=27).The lesions were divided into three types according to the grinding of glass composition proportion:Type A,pure ground glass nodules(pGGN);Type B,mixed ground glass nodules (mGGN)which contained glass composition≥50%;Type C,mGGN which contained glass composition < 50%.The vascular sign of GGN were divided into four types:Type 1,without vessels passing through the GGN,or vessels passing by GGN;Type 2,intact vessels passing through GGN,but vascular morphology is normal;Type 3,single vessels passing through GGN,and distorted,stiff vessels seen within GGN;Type 4,two or more vessels passing through GGN,and branches between vessels formed in GGN,and the diameter of vessel was irregular,partial enlargement.The relationship among the size of the GGN,content of the grinding of glass proportion and the vascular sign of GGN were analyzed both in axial images and reconstruction images.Results There were significant differences in size among the three groups(P=0.032,P=0.000,P=0.000).There were significant differences between content of the grinding of glass proportion and classification of vascular sign of GGN(P=0.000).Type 1 and type 2 vascular sign were dominant in the infiltrating former group,a total of 24 cases(96%).The incidence of type 3 and type 4 vascular sign in MIA group and IAC group was 60% and 74% respectively,and there were significant differences with the infiltrating former group(P=0.000,0.000).Further analysis indicated that type 3 was more commonly seen in MIA with comparison to type 4 which was more likely seen in IAC,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.043).Conclusion To study HRCT vascular sign of tiny ground glass nodules-like lung adenocarcinoma can improve the ability of the GGN benign and malignant diagnosis,provide reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
