ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the value of zero echo time(ZTE)3.0T MRI for detecting lung cancer nodules.Methods Totally 126 lung cancer patients(176 lung nodules)were prospectively enrolled and underwent 3.0T MR axial lung scanning,including T1-volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(VIBE),T2-BLADE,T2-half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin-echo(HASTE)and ZTE sequences.The consistency between ZTE MRI and previous CT for displaying characteristics of pulmonary nodules was analyzed,and the sensitivity of different MR sequences for detecting pulmonary nodules were observed.Results Among 176 pulmonary nodules showed on CT,ZTE MRI detected 140 and missed 36 ones.The consistency between ZTE MRI and CT for displaying the maximum diameter and actual maximum diameter of pulmonary nodules were both good(ICC=0.954,0.943,both P<0.001),and the difference between ZTE MRI and CT was small.The consistency between ZTE MRI and CT for displaying tracheal vascular bundles,pleural indentation and internal bronchial inflation signs were all good(Kappa=0.894,0.912,0.917),while for displaying the type and shape of nodules were both moderate(Kappa=0.661,0.501).The sensitivity of ZTE MRI for detecting pulmonary nodules was higher than that of other individual MR sequences(all P<0.05),of combination of ZTE and T2 BLADE was higher than that of other sequence combinations(all P<0.05).Conclusion ZTE 3.0T MRI could be used to detect lung cancer nodules,which was superior to conventional MRI.Combination of ZTE 3.0T MRI with T2-BLADE could improve the sensitivity for detecting pulmonary nodules.
