Quantitative comparison of delayed ferumoxytol T1 enhancement with immediate gadoteridol enhancement in high grade gliomas.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Delayed ferumoxytol enhancement on T1 -weighted images appears visually similar to gadoteridol enhancement. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively compare ferumoxytol T1 enhancement to gadoteridol enhancement with an objective, semi-automated method. METHODS:206 sets of post-gadoteridol and 24?h post-ferumoxytol T1 -weighted scans from 58 high grade glioma patients were analyzed (9 pre-chemoradiation, 111??90 days post-chemoradiation, 65 post-bevacizumab scans). Enhancement volumes and signal intensities normalized to normal appearing tissue proximal to enhancement were calculated with a semi-automated method. Enhancement cube root volumes (D) and signal intensities (SI) were compared between the 2 contrast agents, and relative difference of D and SI were compared in different treatment groups with multivariate analysis. Within patient differences in D and SI before and after treatment with bevacizumab or steroid were assessed in 26 patients in each treatment group. RESULTS:When compared to gadoteridol, ferumoxytol D was 13.83% smaller and SI was 7.24% lower (P??0.05). Relative difference in D and SI did not change significantly in response to bevacizumab (P?=?0.5234 and P?=?0.2442, respectively) or to steroid (P?=?0.3774, P?=?0.0741) in the within patient comparison. CONCLUSION:The correlation between the 2 contrast agents' enhancement size and signal intensity and their similar behavior in response to therapy suggest that ferumoxytol can be used for revealing enhancement in high grade glioma patients.

Project description:Purpose To investigate ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI as a noninvasive imaging biomarker of macrophages in adults with high-grade gliomas. Materials and Methods In this prospective study, adults with high-grade gliomas were enrolled between July 2015 and July 2017. Each participant was administered intravenous ferumoxytol (5 mg/kg) and underwent 3.0-T MRI 24 hours later. Two sites in each tumor were selected for intraoperative sampling on the basis of the degree of ferumoxytol-induced signal change. Susceptibility and the relaxation rates R2* (1/T2*) and R2 (1/T2) were obtained by region-of-interest analysis by using the respective postprocessed maps. Each sample was stained with Prussian blue, CD68, CD163, and glial fibrillary acidic protein. Pearson correlation and linear mixed models were performed to assess the relationship between imaging measurements and number of 400× magnification high-power fields with iron-containing macrophages. Results Ten adults (four male participants [mean age, 65 years ± 9 {standard deviation}; age range, 57-74 years] and six female participants [mean age, 53 years ± 12 years; age range, 32-65 years]; mean age of all participants, 58 years ± 12 [age range, 32-74 years]) with high-grade gliomas were included. Significant positive correlations were found between susceptibility, R2*, and R2' and the number of high-power fields with CD163-positive (r range, 0.64-0.71; P < .01) and CD68-positive (r range, 0.55-0.57; P value range, .01-.02) iron-containing macrophages. No significant correlation was found between R2 and CD163-positive (r = 0.33; P = .16) and CD68-positive (r = 0.24; P = .32) iron-containing macrophages. Similar significance results were obtained with linear mixed models. At histopathologic analysis, iron particles were found only in macrophages; none was found in glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive tumor cells. Conclusion MRI measurements of susceptibility, R2*, and R2' (R2* - R2) obtained after ferumoxytol administration correlate with iron-containing macrophage concentration, and this shows their potential as quantitative imaging markers of macrophages in malignant gliomas. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of MRI features with the major genomic profiles and prognosis of World Health Organization grade III (G3) gliomas compared with those of glioblastomas (GBMs).Materials and methodsWe enrolled 76 G3 glioma and 155 GBM patients with pathologically confirmed disease who had pretreatment brain MRI and major genetic information of tumors. Qualitative and quantitative imaging features, including volumetrics and histogram parameters, such as normalized cerebral blood volume (nCBV), cerebral blood flow (nCBF), and apparent diffusion coefficient (nADC) were evaluated. The G3 gliomas were divided into three groups for the analysis: with this isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutation, IDH mutation and a chromosome arm 1p/19q-codeleted (IDHmut1p/19qdel), IDH mutation, 1p/19q-nondeleted (IDHmut1p/19qnondel), and IDH wildtype (IDHwt). A prediction model for the genetic profiles of G3 gliomas was developed and validated on a separate cohort. Both the quantitative and qualitative imaging parameters and progression-free survival (PFS) of G3 gliomas were compared and survival analysis was performed. Moreover, the imaging parameters and PFS between IDHwt G3 gliomas and GBMs were compared.ResultsIDHmut G3 gliomas showed a larger volume (p = 0.017), lower nCBF (p = 0.048), and higher nADC (p = 0.007) than IDHwt. Between the IDHmut tumors, IDHmut1p/19qdel G3 gliomas had higher nCBV (p = 0.024) and lower nADC (p = 0.002) than IDHmut1p/19qnondel G3 gliomas. Moreover, IDHmut1p/19qdel tumors had the best prognosis and IDHwt tumors had the worst prognosis among G3 gliomas (p < 0.001). PFS was significantly associated with the 95th percentile values of nCBV and nCBF in G3 gliomas. There was no significant difference in neither PFS nor imaging features between IDHwt G3 gliomas and IDHwt GBMs.ConclusionWe found significant differences in MRI features, including volumetrics, CBV, and ADC, in G3 gliomas, according to IDH mutation and 1p/19q codeletion status, which can be utilized for the prediction of genomic profiles and the prognosis of G3 glioma patients. The MRI signatures and prognosis of IDHwt G3 gliomas tend to follow those of IDHwt GBMs.

Project description:Myocardial T1 reactivity, defined as the relative change in T1 between rest and vasodilator-induced stress, has been proposed as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) biomarker of tissue perfusion. We hypothesize that the superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticle, ferumoxytol, sensitizes T1 to changes in the intramyocardial vascular compartment and improves the sensitivity and specificity of T1 reactivity as an imaging biomarker of tissue perfusion. We aim to assess the diagnostic performance of ferumoxytol-enhanced (FE) myocardial T1 reactivity in swine models of myocardial hypoperfusion. We induced acute myocardial hypoperfusion in 13 swine via percutaneous, transcatheter deployment of a 3D printed intracoronary stenosis implant into the left anterior descending coronary artery. We performed native and FE adenosine stress testing using 5(3)3(3)3 MOLLI and SASHA T1 mapping sequences with bSSFP readout on a clinical 3.0 T magnet. MOLLI T1 maps were fitted using both the conventional MOLLI and the Instantaneous Signal Loss (InSiL) T1-fitting algorithms. Regardless of the MOLLI or SASHA pulse sequence or T1-fitting algorithm, ferumoxytol contrast increased the dynamic range of T1 reactivity in both the remote and ischemic myocardial regions. Relative to remote myocardium, native and FE T1 reactivity were blunted in ischemic myocardium (p < 0.05) with InSiL-MOLLI, MOLLI and SASHA. An InSiL-MOLLI-derived FE T1 reactivity threshold of -4.65% had 73.3% sensitivity and 96.2% specificity for prediction of regional wall motion abnormalities (AUC 0.915, 95% CI 0.786-0.979), whereas a SASHA-derived FE T1 reactivity threshold of -5.25% had 75.0% sensitivity and 95.2% specificity (AUC 0.905, 95% CI 0.751-0.979). Ferumoxytol significantly increased the dynamic range of T1 reactivity as a measure of myocardial hypoperfusion in vasodilator stress T1 mapping studies. FE T1 reactivity maps can be used to quantitatively distinguish ischemic and remote myocardium with high specificity in swine models of acute myocardial hypoperfusion.
