The evaluation value of MRI dynamic enhancement TIC combined with DWI in benign and malignant breast lesions / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE) time-signal intensity curve (TIC) combined with diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:This study was a retrospective study. 95 patients with suspected breast cancer who were diagnosed and treated in the Beijing Huairou Hospital from October 2018 to October 2021 were taken as the study subjects. All patients received DCE-TIC and DCE-DWI examinations, and then underwent needle biopsy after imaging examination. We evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of DCE-TIC and DCE-DWI alone and in combination in benign and malignant breast lesions by collecting general clinical data and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of patients, using pathological examination results as the " gold standard" .Results:A total of 95 patients with suspected breast cancer were diagnosed as benign lesions in 25 cases and malignant lesions in 70 cases after biopsy. Compared with benign lesions, the tumor diameter and ADC value of malignant lesions were significantly different (all P<0.05). The eceiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of subjects was drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) of DCE-DWI diagnosis of breast cancer was 0.826. 95 suspected breast cancer patients were diagnosed by DCE-TIC in 28 cases of type Ⅰ, 27 cases of type Ⅱ, and 40 cases of type Ⅲ. With the pathological diagnosis results as the " gold standard", the accuracy, sensitivity, and negative predictive value of DCE-TIC combined with DCE-DWI in the diagnosis of breast cancer were higher than those of a single diagnosis, with a statistically significant difference (all P<0.05); The specificity and positive predictive value of combined diagnosis were not statistically significant compared to single diagnosis (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Both DCE-TIC and DCE-DWI can differentiate benign and malignant breast lesions, and the accuracy, sensitivity, and positive predictive value of combined diagnosis are higher than those of single diagnosis. The combination of DCE-TIC and DCE-DWI can help improve the differential efficiency of breast lesion properties.
