磁敏感加权成像在脑胶质瘤鉴别诊断、术前病理分级及术中的应用

  目的  探讨磁敏感加权成像（SWI）在脑胶质瘤鉴别诊断、术前病理分级及手术指导中的应用。  方法  回顾性分析新疆维吾尔自治区人民医院2018年10月~2021年10月经手术及组织病理学检查证实为脑胶质瘤（n=64）、单发脑转移瘤（n=15）和颅内淋巴瘤（n=15）的患者的临床资料。以病理结果作为金标准，将脑胶质瘤患者按照世界卫生组织肿瘤分类标准分为低级别组（n= 27）和高级别组（n=37），所有患者均通过SWI检测，进行瘤内磁敏感信号强度（ITSS）分级评估以及肿瘤实质区与瘤周水肿区相对脑血容量（rCBV）值测定，比较不同肿瘤类型差异，并通过ROC曲线评估其在高级别与低级别脑胶质瘤中的鉴别价值。  结果  高级别脑胶质瘤与单发脑转移瘤ITSS分级、肿瘤实质区rCBV值的差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）；高级别脑胶质瘤周水肿区rCBV值高于单发脑转移瘤（P < 0.05）；高级别脑胶质瘤ITSS分级程度低于淋巴瘤，血管评分高于淋巴瘤（P < 0.05）；高级别胶质瘤ITSS分级高于低级别胶质瘤，肿瘤实质区rCBV值高于低级别胶质瘤（P < 0.05）；Spearman相关性分析结果显示，胶质瘤分级与ITSS分级、rCBV值呈正相关关系（r=0.728、0.851，P < 0.05）；ITSS分级评估脑胶质瘤高级别ROC曲线下面积为0.894，敏感度、特异性、准确度分别为81.08%、85.19%、82.81%；rCBV值评估脑胶质瘤高级别ROC曲线下面积为0.937，敏感度、特异性、准确度分别为91.89%、88.89%、90.63%；64例脑胶质瘤患者，和常规序列相比，SWI序列对于肿瘤边界的显示更为清晰，同时可呈现肿瘤微小血管病变信息，胶质瘤肿瘤实质区rCBV值均高于瘤周水肿区rCBV值（P < 0.05）。  结论  SWI有助于高级别胶质瘤的鉴别诊断，对于胶质瘤低级别与高级别的评估效能较高，可在一定程度上指导术中脑胶质瘤切除。 

Application of magnetic susceptibility weighted imaging in differential diagnosis,preoperative pathological grading and surgical guidance of glioma

  Objective  To investigate the application of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in the differential diagnosis, preoperative pathological grading and surgical guidance of glioma.  Methods  The clinical data of 64 patients with glioma, 15 patients with single brain metastases and 15 patients with intracranial lymphoma confirmed by surgery and histopathological examination in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from October 2018 to October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The pathological results were used as the gold standard. The patients with glioma were divided into low-grade group (n=27) and high-grade group (n=37) according to the WHO tumor classification criteria. All patients were detected by SWI, and the intratumoral susceptibility signal intensity (ITSS) grading evaluation and the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) value of the tumor parenchymal area and the peritumoral edema area were measured. The differences of different tumor types were compared, and the ROC curve was used to evaluate its differential value between high-grade and low-grade gliomas.  Results  Comparison of ITSS grade and rCBV value in tumor parenchyma between high-grade gliomas and solitary metastases (P > 0.05); the rCBV value in peritumoral edema area of high-grade glioma was higher than that of single brain metastasis (P < 0.05). The ITSS grade of high-grade glioma was lower than that of lymphoma, and the vascular score was higher than that of lymphoma (P < 0.05). ITSS grade of high grade glioma was higher than that of low grade glioma, rCBV value of tumor parenchyma was higher than that of low grade glioma (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that glioma grade was positively correlated with ITSS grade and rCBV value (r=0.728, 0.851, P < 0.005). The area under the high-level ROC curve of ITSS grading evaluation of glioma was 0.894, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 81.08%, 85.19% and 82.81%, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of rCBV was 0.937, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 91.89%, 88.89 % and 90.63%, respectively. Compared with conventional sequence, SWI sequence showed tumor boundary more clearly and showed tumor microangiopathy information in 64 patients with glioma. The rCBV values in glioma parenchyma were higher than those in peritumoral edema (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  SWI is helpful for the differential diagnosis of high-grade gliomas, and has high evaluation efficiency for low-grade and high-grade gliomas, which can guide intraoperative glioma resection to a certain extent.
