ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
High b-value diffusion-weighted images (DWI) are used for detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). This study qualitatively and quantitatively compares synthesized DWI (sDWI) to acquired (aDWI) for detection of csPCa.METHODS:
One hundred fifty-one consecutive patients who underwent prostate MRI and biopsy were included in the study. Axial DWI with b = 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 s/mm2 using a 3T clinical scanner using a 32-channel phased-array body coil were acquired. We retrospectively synthesized DWI for b = 2000 s/mm2 via extrapolation based on mono-exponential decay, using b = 0 and b = 500 s/mm2 (sDWI500) and b = 0, b = 500 s/mm2, and b = 1000 s/mm2 (sDWI1000). Differences in signal intensity between sDWI and aDWI were evaluated within different regions of interest (prostate alone, prostate plus 5 mm, 30 mm and 70 mm margin and full field of view). The maximum DWI value within each ROI was evaluated for prediction of csPCa. Classification accuracy was compared to Restriction Spectrum Imaging restriction score (RSIrs), a previously validated biomarker based on multi-exponential DWI. Discrimination of csPCa was evaluated via area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).RESULTS:
Within the prostate, mean ± standard deviation of percent mean differences between sDWI and aDWI signal were -46 ± 35% for sDWI1000 and -67 ± 24% for sDWI500. AUC for aDWI, sDWI500, sDWI1000, and RSIrs within the prostate 0.62[95% confidence interval 0.53, 0.71], 0.63[0.54, 0.72], 0.65[0.56, 0.73] and 0.78[0.71, 0.86], respectively.CONCLUSION:
sDWI is qualitatively comparable to aDWI within the prostate. However, hyperintense artifacts are introduced with sDWI in the surrounding pelvic tissue that interfere with quantitative cancer detection and might mask metastases. In the prostate, RSIrs yields superior quantitative csPCa detection than sDWI or aDWI.Palabras clave
