RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Non-invasive biomarkers for early chemotherapeutic response in Ewing sarcoma family of tumors (ESFT) are useful for optimizing existing treatment protocol. PURPOSE: To assess the role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the early evaluation of chemotherapeutic response in ESFT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 28 patients (mean age = 17.2 ± 5.6 years) with biopsy proven ESFT were analyzed prospectively. Patients underwent MRI acquisition on a 1.5-T scanner at three time points: before starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy (baseline), after first cycle chemotherapy (early time point), and after completion of chemotherapy (last time point). RECIST 1.1 criteria was used to evaluate the response to chemotherapy and patients were categorized as responders (complete and partial response) and non-responders (stable and progressive disease). Tumor diameter, absolute apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and normalized ADC (nADC) values in the tumor were measured. Baseline parameters and relative percentage change of parameters after first cycle chemotherapy were assessed for early detection of chemotherapy response. RESULTS: The responder:non-responder ratio was 21:7. At baseline, ADC ([0.864 ± 0.266 vs. 0.977 ± 0.246]) × 10-3mm2/s; P = 0.205) and nADC ([0.740 ± 0.254 vs. 0.925 ± 0.262] × 10-3mm2/s; P = 0.033) among responders was lower than the non-responders and predicted response to chemotherapy with AUCs of 0.6 and 0.735, respectively. At the early time point, tumor diameter (27% ± 14% vs. 4.6% ± 10%; P = 0.002) showed a higher reduction and ADC (75% ± 44% vs. 52% ± 72%; P = 0.039) and nADC (81% ± 44% vs. 48% ± 67%; P = 0.008) showed a higher increase in mean values among responders than the non-responders and identified chemotherapy response with AUC of 0.890, 0.723, and 0.756, respectively. CONCLUSION: Baseline nADC and its change after the first cycle of chemotherapy can be used as non-invasive surrogate markers of early chemotherapeutic response in patients with ESFT.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Quantitative analysis in intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) imaging commonly uses voxel-wise estimation of the bi-exponential model, which might not be reliable for clinical interpretation. Improving model fitting performance and qualitative and quantitative parametric estimation, two novel methodologies are proposed here. METHODS: Five IVIM analyses methodologies: (a) Bi-exponential (BE) model, (b) Segmented BE method with two-parameter fitting (BEseg-2), (c) Segmented BE method with one-parameter fitting (BEseg-1), (d) BE with adaptive Total Variation penalty function (BE+TV) and (e) BE with adaptive Huber penalty function (BE+HPF) were evaluated. Relative root-mean-square error (RRMSE), relative bias (RB) and relative parameters (Drel,Drel∗,&frel) were calculated to estimate the accuracy of methods in simulations. Empirical datasets from 14 patients with bone tumor were analyzed using these methodologies. Coefficient of variation (CV) were estimated for each IVIM parameter in tumor volume to measure the precision of the estimation methods in vivo. RESULTS: Both BE+TV and BE+HPF showed consistently lower RRMSE (~10-42%) and lower RB (-4 to 8%) at all noise levels, compared to BE, BEseg-2 and BEseg-1 (RRMSE: ~15-120% and RB: -20 to 62%). Estimated Drel,Drel∗&frel for both BE+TV and BE+HPF methods were ~1 (0.96-1.08), whereas BE, BEseg-2 and BEseg-1 showed sub-optimal parameter estimation (0.80-1.62). For clinical data BE+TV and BE+HPF showed 30-50% improved CV in estimating D, D*, and f than BE and improved CV in estimating D* (7-23%) and f (26-30%) than BEseg-2 and BEseg-1. CONCLUSIONS: Bi-exponential model with penalty function showed quantitatively and qualitatively improved IVIM parameter estimation for both simulated and clinical dataset of bone tumors, thus potentially making this approach suitable for clinical applications in future.
