ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the diagnostic value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/MR imaging for liver metastasis.

Methods:

A retrospective analysis of 75 cases (46 males, 29 females; age (58.9±14.3) years) with suspected liver metastases from January 2020 to October 2020 in Ruijin Hospital were performed. All patients underwent PET/MR and enhanced upper abdominal CT scans. Diagnostic efficacies of enhanced CT, PET, MR and PET/MR for liver metastases (based on lesions and patients respectively) were calculated and compared (McNemar test).

Results:

A total of 306 liver lesions were detected in 75 patients, of which 179 lesions in 45 patients were confirmed as liver metastases through follow-up or pathology. In lesion-based analysis, the sensitivities of enhanced CT, PET, MR and PET/MR were 74.9%(134/179), 60.3%(108/179), 98.9%(177/179) and 100%(179/179), with specificities of 96.9%(123/127), 100%(127/127), 92.9%(118/127) and 92.1%(117/127), respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of PET/MR was significantly higher than that of enhanced CT and PET ( χ2 values 51.000 and 81.000, both P<0.001), but there was no statistical difference between PET/MR and MR ( χ2=2.000, P=0.368). In patient-based analysis, the sensitivities of enhanced CT, PET, MR and PET/MR were 82.2%(37/45), 84.4%(38/45), 95.6%(43/45) and 100%(45/45), with specificities of 86.7%(26/30), 100%(30/30), 70.0%(21/30) and 70.0%(21/30), respectively. The diagnostic efficacies of enhanced CT and PET were statistically different from PET/MR ( χ2 values 13.000 and 16.000, both P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference between MR and PET/MR ( χ2=2.000, P=0.368).

Conclusions:

Compared with enhanced CT, PET and MR, 18F-FDG PET/MR has a higher detective rate for liver metastases. The overall diagnostic efficacy of 18F-FDG PET/MR is better than enhanced CT and PET alone, but similar to MR.
