目的以DSA为对照,研究3.0TMRVR重组三维时间飞跃法(3D-TOF)MRA诊断颅内动脉瘤的准确性。方法411例可疑颅内动脉瘤或其他脑血管疾病的患者在行DSA检查前进行3D-TOF-MRA检查,MRA检查后2周内进行DSA检查,以2D-DSA和VR-DSA结果作为金标准。42例患者被排除(6例因运动伪影被排除,36例因缺少VR-DSA数据被排除)。从每例患者有无动脉瘤、每枚动脉瘤和动脉瘤大小(〈3mm、3~5mm、〉5~10mm、〉10mm)3方面评估VR3D.TOF-MRA对颅内动脉瘤诊断的准确性、敏感度和特异度。结果在最终入选的369例患者中,VR-DSA在246例患者中检测到306枚颅内动脉瘤,123例患者无动脉瘤;3D-TOF-MRA在249例患者中检测到311枚颅内动脉瘤,120例患者无动脉瘤。从患者方面评估,VR3D-TOF-MRA对颅内动脉瘤的诊断准确性、敏感度和特异度依次为97.6%(360/369)、99.2%(242/244)和94.4%(118/125);从动脉瘤方面评估,VR3D-TOF-MRA的诊断准确性、敏感度和特异度依次为98.3%(524/533)、99.3%(304/306)和96.1%(220/229);基于动脉瘤大小(〈3mm)的评估,VR3D-TOF-MRA的诊断准确性、敏感度和特异度依次为96.4%(214/222)、98.2%(112/114)和94.4%(102/108)。结论VR3D-TOF-MRA能准确诊断颅内动脉瘤,并可以作为一种无创、无辐射和无须对比剂的检查方法来替代DSA诊断和筛查颅内动脉瘤。
Objective To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of contrast-free three dimensional time-of-flight (3D-TOF-MRA) with VR at 3.0 T in the detection of intracranial aneurysms in a large cohort of patients prospectively. Methods Four hundred and eleven patients with suspected aneurysms and other cerebral vascular diseases received contrast-free 3D-TOF-MRA examinations at 3.0 T MRA 2 weeks prior to DSA examination. 2D-DSA and VR-DSA were regarded as the gold standard. Six patients were excluded because of motion artifacts,and 36 patients were excluded due to lack of VR-DSA data. Accuracy, sensitivity an specificity in detecting intraeranial anemysms were determined by patient-, aneurysm-, and aneurysm size- based ( 〈 3 mm, 3-5 ram, 〉 5-10 ram, 〉 10 mm) evaluations. Results In 369 enrolled patients, VR-DSA revealed 306 anem'ysms in 246 patients (66.7%) and no aneurysm in 123 patients; VR 3D-TOF- MRA revealed 311 aneurysms in 249 patients and no aneurysm in 120 patients. The patient-based evaluation of VR 3D-TOF-MRA at 3.0T yielded accuracy of 97.6% (360/369), sensitivity of 99. 2% (242/244), and specificity of 94. 4% (118/125) in the detection of intracranial aneurysms. The aneurysm-based evaluation yielded accuracy of 98.3% (524/533) , sensitivity of 99.3% ( 304/306 ), and specificity of 96. 1% (220/229). The evaluation based on aneurysm sizes ( 〈3 mm) yielded accuracy of 96.4% (214/222),sensitivity of 98.2% ( 112/114 ), and specificity of 94. 4% ( 102/108 ). Conclusion VR 3D-TOF-MRA at 3.0 T MR can detect intracranial aneurysms accurately and may replace DSA as a contrast-free, noninvasive and non-radiation-based modality for the diagnosis and screening of intraeranial aneurysms.
