Clinical application value of MRI combined with DWI sequence in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with meningioma / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the performance of meningiomas in MRI dynamic enhancement and DWI sequence,and to improve the accuracy of differential diagnosis of benign and malignant meningiomas.Methods Meningioma MRI data,which were pathology proved by the Guilin medical college affiliated hospital at different levels(Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ),were retrospectively analyzed.The enhancement of meningiomas at all levels and the extent of edema were summarized,at the meantime the dynamic enhancement perfusion parameters and ADC values of meningioma MRI meningioma were contrastively analyzed.Results There were 30 cases of meningioma located in the brain falcus,27 cases of meningioma located in the sagittal sinus,10 cases of meningioma located in the cerebellopontine angle and 6 cases of meningioma located in other parts.The difference of ADC value between grade Ⅰ meningiomas and grade Ⅲ meningiomas was statistically significant different[(1.253±0.123)×10-3 mm2/s vs.(0.891±0.103)×10-3 mm2/s,P<0.05].The relative blood flow(rCBF)and relative blood volume(rCBV)of grade Ⅰ meningiomas were significantly lower than those of grade Ⅲ meningiomas(P<0.05).Conclusion MRI dynamic enhancement combined with DWI can accurately identify grade Ⅰ meningiomas and grade Ⅲ meningiomas,and it is necessary that the assessment of its classification should be appropriately considered to the higher level for patients who do not have a characteristic manifestation of meningioma in the preoperative.
