ABSTRACT
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the potential of Synthetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SynMRI) in identifying muscular invasion in bladder cancer (BCa), and explore whether there is additional value in combination with the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS).METHODS:
In this prospective single-center study, pathologically-confirmed BCa were enrolled between May 2023 and November 2023. All participants underwent preoperative multiparametric MRI, including T1/T2 weighted, SynMRI and diffusion-weighted imaging. T1/T2/PD values and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were compared between muscle invasive (MIBC) and non-invasive (NMIBC) groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis with the variables and their combination was performed to explore the performance of distinguishing the MIBC from NMIBC, and the ROC curves were compared using DeLong's test.RESULTS:
A total of 54 BCa patients were enrolled (38 males; NMIBC/MIBC=37/19) and all assessed with VI-RADS without dynamic enhanced imaging (DCE). Compared to NMIBC group, MIBC group had significantly larger diameter, higher VI-RADS score, lower T2 and ADC values (P < 0.05). VI-RADS score and T2 showed independent predictive value in differentiating NMIBC and MIBC. The combined model (T2 + VI-RADS+Diameter) resulted in significantly improved specificity (0.842), sensitivity (0.914), and AUC (0.943), in comparison to VI-RADS or ADC alone (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:
T2 relaxation time can be easily obtained from SynMRI in routine clinical protocol and assist VI-RADS score system without DCE to improve differentiation performance in identifying NMIBC and MIBC.
