目的 探讨小视野DWI ADC直方图鉴别透明细胞肾癌与非透明细胞肾癌的价值.方法 回顾经手术及病理证实为肾细胞癌,术前接受过肾脏MRI平扫及小视野DWI检查的64例患者.透明细胞肾癌46例(47个病灶),非透明细胞肾癌18例(19个病灶).记录透明细胞肾癌与非透明细胞肾癌的ADC直方图参数,包括ADC平均值(ADCmean)、ADC中位数(ADCmedian)、ADC第5百分位数(ADC_5th)、ADC第25百分位数(ADC_25th)、ADC第75百分位数(ADC_75th)、ADC第95百分位数(ADC_95th)、偏度及峰度值,并采用独立样本t检验(正态分布)或Mann-Whitney U检验(偏态分布)比较.采用ROC评价ADC直方图参数鉴别诊断不同肾癌的效能.结果 透明细胞肾癌ADC值直方图以负偏态分布为主,非透明细胞肾癌以正偏态为主.透明细胞肾癌的ADC平均值、ADC中位数、ADC_5th、ADC_25th、ADC_75th和ADC_95th均高于非透明细胞癌,差异有统计学意义(P均〈0.05);二者的偏度值差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),峰度值差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05).ADC_75th鉴别透明细胞及非透明细胞肾癌的效能最高,ROC下面积为0.987,以1.81×10^-3mm^2/s为截断值,敏感度及特异度分别为100.0%和94.7%.结论 小视野DWI ADC直方图鉴别透明细胞肾癌与非透明细胞肾癌有一定价值,ADC_75th具有较高诊断效能.
Objective To explore the utility of ADC histogram analysisin differentiation of clear cell renal cell carcinoma(ccRCC)and non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma(non-ccRCC)with r-Fov DWI. Methods Sixty-six renal tumors(46 patients with 47 ccRCCs and 18 patients with 19 non-ccRCCs)in 64 patients, who underwent preoperative routine renal MRI sequences and r-FOV DWI, were retrospectively evaluated. The whole-lesion ADC values derived from histogram anlysis(including ADC mean, ADC median, ADC_5th, ADC_25th, ADC_75th, ADC_95th, skew and kurtosis)were measured for each patient. All parameters between ccRCC and non-ccRCC were compared by using the Student's t test or Mann-Whitney U test. ROC analysis was used to assess the diagnostic performance of ADC histogram in distinguishing the two groups. Results The postive skewness of ADC histograms were mostly seen in the non-ccRCC group, while the negtative skewness were present in the majority of ccRCCs. The skewness was significantly higher in non-ccRCCs than those of ccRCCs(P〈0.05). Mean ADC, median ADC, 5th percentile ADC, 25th percentile ADC, 75th percentile ADC and 95th percentile ADC(all P〈0.05)were significantly lower in non-ccRCC . There was no significant difference of Kurtosis between two groups(P〉0.05). 75th percentile ADC achieved the highest AUC(0.987)in differentiating ccRCC and non-ccRCC, whena cutoff value was 1.81×10^-3 mm^2/s. The sensitivity and specificity were 100.0%and 94.7%. Conclusion ADC histograms of r-FOV DWI may be helpful to differentiate ccRCC from non-ccRCC, and the diagnostic accuracy of 75th percentile ADC is highest.
