Impact of Inversion Time for FLAIR Acquisition on the T2-FLAIR Mismatch Detectability for IDH-Mutant, Non-CODEL Astrocytomas.

ABSTRACT: The current research tested the hypothesis that inversion time (TI) shorter than 2,400 ms under 3T for FLAIR can improve the diagnostic accuracy of the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign for identifying IDHmt, non-CODEL astrocytomas. We prepared three different cohorts; 94 MRI from 76 IDHmt, non-CODEL Lower-grade gliomas (LrGGs), 33 MRI from 31 LrGG under the restriction of FLAIR being acquired with TI < 2,400 ms for 3T or 2,016 ms for 1.5T, and 112 MRI from 112 patients from the TCIA/TCGA dataset for LrGG. The presence or absence of the "T2-FLAIR mismatch sign" was evaluated, and we compared diagnostic accuracies according to TI used for FLAIR acquisition. The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was more frequently positive when TI was shorter than 2,400 ms under 3T for FLAIR acquisition (p = 0.0009, Fisher's exact test). The T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was positive only for IDHmt, non-CODEL astrocytomas even if we confined the cohort with FLAIR acquired with shorter TI (p = 0.0001, Fisher's exact test). TCIA/TCGA dataset validated that the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign to identify IDHmt, non-CODEL astrocytomas improved from 31, 90, 79, and 51% to 67, 94, 92, and 74%, respectively and the area under the curve of ROC improved from 0.63 to 0.87 when FLAIR was acquired with shorter TI. We revealed that TI for FLAIR impacts the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign's diagnostic accuracy and that FLAIR scanned with TI < 2,400 ms in 3T is necessary for LrGG imaging.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to assess the validity and pathophysiology of the T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign for noninvasive identification of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted glioma.MethodsMagnetic resonance imaging scans from 408 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed glioma (113 lower-grade gliomas and 295 glioblastomas) were evaluated for the presence of T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign by 2 independent reviewers. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated to assess the performance of the T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign for identifying IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted tumors. An exploratory analysis of differences in contrast-enhancing tumor volumes, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, and relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) values in IDH-mutant gliomas with versus without the presence of a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign (as well as analysis of spatial differences within tumors with the presence of a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign) was performed.ResultsThe T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign was present in 12 cases with lower-grade glioma (10.6%), all of them being IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted tumors (sensitivity = 10.9%, specificity = 100%, PPV = 100%, NPV = 3.0%, accuracy = 13.3%). There was a substantial interrater agreement to identify the T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign (Cohen's kappa = 0.75 [95% CI, 0.57-0.93]). The T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign was not identified in any other molecular subgroup, including IDH-mutant glioblastoma cases (n = 5). IDH-mutant gliomas with a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign showed significantly higher ADC (P < .0001) and lower rCBV values (P = .0123) as compared to IDH-mutant gliomas without a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign. Moreover, in IDH-mutant gliomas with T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign the ADC values were significantly lower in the FLAIR-hyperintense rim as compared to the FLAIR-hypointense core of the tumor (P = .0005).ConclusionsThis study confirms the high specificity of the T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign for noninvasive identification of IDH-mutant 1p/19q non-codeleted gliomas; however, sensitivity is low and applicability is limited to lower-grade gliomas. Whether the higher ADC and lower rCBV values in IDH-mutant gliomas with a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign (as compared to those without) translate into a measurable prognostic effect requires investigation in future studies. Moreover, spatial differences in ADC values between the core and rim of tumors with a T2/FLAIR-mismatch sign potentially reflect specific distinctions in tumor cellularity and microenvironment.
