增强CT与MRI诊断腰椎结核的临床价值对比

目的  比较增强CT和MRI诊断腰椎结核的应用价值。方法  选取2019年6月~2021年6月在本院收治疑似60例腰椎结核患者，均行增强CT和MRI图像，以病理或治疗随访结果为金标准，观察其影像学表现，比较两种方法对腰椎结核的诊断效能。结果  60例患者中，有42例确诊为腰椎结核。增强CT检出腰椎结核36例，与金标准比较，敏感度为85.71%，特异性为77.77%，准确度为83.33%，Kappa值为0.615；MRI检出腰椎结核40例，与金标准比较，敏感度为95.24%，特异性为88.89%，准确率为93.33%，Kappa值为0.841；MRI在椎间盘受累、椎旁脓肿、椎管受累中的检出率均高于增强CT（P<0.05），CT在死骨形成中的检出率高于MRI（P<0.05）。结论  增强CT与MRI对诊断腰椎结核均具有一定的临床效能，MRI优于增强CT，MRI在椎间盘受累、椎旁脓肿、椎管受累的诊断有明显优势，增强CT在死骨形成检出率优于MRI。

Comparison of clinical value between enhanced CT and MRI in diagnosis of lumbar tuberculosis

  Objective  To compare the value of enhanced CT and MRI in diagnosis of lumbar tuberculosis.  Methods   Sixty patients with suspected lumbar tuberculosis admitted to the hospital were enrolled between June 2019 and June 2021. All underwent examinations by contrast-enhanced CT and MRI images. Taking pathological or treatment follow-up results as the golden standard, their imaging manifestations were observed. The diagnostic efficiency of the two methods for lumbar tuberculosis was compared.  Results  There were 42 cases confirmed with lumbar tuberculosis out of 60 cases. The contrast-enhanced CT showed that there were 36 cases with lumbar tuberculosis. Compared with the golden standard, its sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value were 85.71%, 77.77%, 83.33% and 0.615, respectively. MRI showed that there were 40 cases with lumbar tuberculosis. Compared with the golden standard, its sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and Kappa value were 95.24%, 88.89%, 93.33% and 0.841, respectively. The detection rates of intervertebral disc involvement, paravertebral abscess and spinal canal involvement by MRI were higher than those by contrast-enhanced CT (P<0.05). The detection rate of sequestrum formation by CT was higher than that by MRI (P<0.05).  Conclusion  Both contrast-enhanced CT and MRI are of certain clinical diagnostic efficiency for lumbar tuberculosis. MRI is superior to contrast-enhanced CT. MRI has obvious advantages in the diagnosis of intervertebral disc involvement, paravertebral abscess and spinal canal involvement, while enhanced CT is superior to MRI in the detection of sequestrum formation.
