MR-Guided Near-Infrared Spectral Tomography Increases Diagnostic Performance of Breast MRI.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostically most important molecular biomarkers quantified by magnetic resonance-guided (MR) near-infrared spectral tomography (NIRST) that distinguish malignant breast lesions from benign abnormalities when combined with outcomes from clinical breast MRI.The study was HIPAA compliant and approved by the Dartmouth Institutional Review Board, the NIH, the United States State Department, and Xijing Hospital. MR-guided NIRST evaluated hemoglobin, water, and lipid content in regions of interest defined by concurrent dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in the breast. MRI plus NIRST was performed in 44 subjects (median age, 46, age range, 20-81 years), 28 of whom had subsequent malignant pathologic diagnoses, and 16 had benign conditions. A subset of 30 subject examinations yielded optical data that met minimum sensitivity requirements to the suspicious lesion and were included in the analyses of diagnostic performance.In the subset of 30 subject examinations meeting minimum optical data sensitivity criterion, the MR-guided NIRST separated malignant from benign lesions using total hemoglobin (HbT; P < 0.01) and tissue optical index (TOI; P < 0.001). Combined MRI plus TOI data caused one false positive and 1 false negative, and produced the best diagnostic performance, yielding an AUC of 0.95, sensitivity of 95%, specificity of 89%, positive predictive value of 95%, and negative predictive value of 89%, respectively.MRI plus NIRST results correlated well with histopathologic diagnoses and could provide additional information to reduce the number of MRI-directed biopsies.

Project description:To assess initial breast tumor hemoglobin (Hb) content before the initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, monitor the Hb changes at the end of each treatment cycle, and correlate these findings with tumor pathologic response.The HIPAA-compliant study protocol was approved by the institutional review boards of both institutions. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Patients who were eligible for neoadjuvant chemotherapy were recruited between December 2007 and May 2011, and their tumor Hb content was assessed by using a near-infrared imager coupled with an ultrasonography (US) system. Thirty-two women (mean age, 48 years; range, 32-82 years) were imaged before treatment, at the end of every treatment cycle, and before definitive surgery. The patients were graded in terms of their final pathologic response on the basis of the Miller-Payne system as nonresponders and partial responders (grades 1-3) and near-complete and complete responders (grades 4 and 5). Tumor vascularity was assessed from total Hb (tHb), oxygenated Hb (oxyHb), and deoxygenated Hb (deoxyHb) concentrations. Tumor vascularity changes during treatment were assessed from percentage tHb normalized to the pretreatment level. A two-sample two-sided t test was used to calculate the P value and to evaluate statistical significance between groups. Bonferroni-Holm correction was applied to obtain the corrected P value for multiple comparisons.There were 20 Miller-Payne grade 1-3 tumors and 14 grade 4 or 5 tumors. Mean maximum pretreatment tHb, oxyHb, and deoxyHb levels were significantly higher in grade 4 and 5 tumors than in grade 1-3 tumors (P = .005, P = .008, and P = .017, respectively). The mean percentage tHb changes were significantly higher in grade 4 or 5 tumors than in grade 1-3 tumors at the end of treatment cycles 1-3 (P = .009 and corrected P = .009, P = .002 and corrected P = .004, and P < .001 and corrected P < .001, respectively).These findings indicate that initial tumor Hb content is a strong predictor of final pathologic response. Additionally, the tHb changes during early treatment cycles can further predict final pathologic response.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the lung zero-echo time (ZTE) sequence in FDG PET/MRI for detection and differentiation of lung lesions in oncologic patients in comparison with conventional two-point Dixon-based MR imaging.MethodsIn this single-institution retrospective study approved by the institutional review board, 209 patients with malignancies (97 men and 112 women; age range, 17-89 years; mean age, 66.5 ± 12.9 years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/MRI between August 2017 and August 2018, with diagnostic Dixon and ZTE under respiratory gating acquired simultaneously with PET. Image analysis was performed for PET/Dixon and PET/ZTE fused images by two readers to assess the detectability and differentiation of lung lesions. The reference standard was pathological findings and/or the data from a chest CT. The detection and differentiation abilities were evaluated for all lesions and subgroups divided by lesion size and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax).ResultsBased on the reference standard, 227 lung lesions were identified in 113 patients. The detectability of PET/ZTE was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon for overall lesions, lesions with a SUVmax less than 3.0 and lesions smaller than 4 mm (p < 0.01). The diagnostic performance of PET/ZTE was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon for overall lesions and lesions smaller than 4 mm (p < 0.01).ConclusionsZTE can improve diagnostic performance in the detection and differentiation of both FDG-avid and non-FDG-avid lung lesions smaller than 4 mm in size, yielding a promising tool to enhance the utility of FDG PET/MRI in oncology patients with lung lesions.Key points• The detection rate of PET/ZTE for lesions with a SUVmax of less than 1.0 was significantly better than that of PET/Dixon. • The performance for differentiation of PET/ZTE for lesions that were even smaller than 4 mm in size were significantly better than that of PET/Dixon. • Inter-rater agreement of PET/ZTE for the differentiation of lesions less than 4 mm in size was substantial and better than that of PET/Dixon.
