Abstract
PURPOSE: To investigate the diagnostic capability of whole-lesion (WL) histogram and texture analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI inline-generated quantitative parametric maps using CAIPIRINHA-Dixon-TWIST-VIBE (CDTV) to differentiate malignant from benign breast lesions and breast cancer subtypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From February 2018 to November 2018, DCE MRI using CDTV was performed on 211 patients. The inline-generated parametric maps included Ktrans, kep, Ve, and IAUGC60. Histogram and texture features were extracted from the above parametric maps respectively based on a WL analysis. Student's t tests, one-way ANOVAs, Mann-Whitney U tests, Jonckheere-Terpstra tests, and ROC curves were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: Compared with benign breast lesions, malignant breast lesions showed significantly higher Ktrans_median, 5th percentile, entropy, and diff-entropy, IAUGC60_median, 5th percentile, entropy, and diff-entropy, kep_mean, median, 5th percentile, entropy, and diff-entropy, and Ve_95th percentile, diff-variance, and contrast, and significantly lower kep_skewness and Ve_SD, entropy, diff-entropy, and skewness (all p ≤ 0.011). The combination of all the extracted parameters yielded an AUC of 0.85 (sensitivity 76%, specificity 86%). kep_contrast showed a significant difference among different subtypes of breast cancer (p = 0.006). kep_skewness showed a significant difference between lymph node-positive and lymph node-negative breast cancer (p = 0.007). The IAGC60_5th percentile had an AUC of 0.71 (sensitivity 50%, specificity 91%) for differentiating between high- and low-proliferation groups of breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS: The WL histogram and texture analyses of CDTV-DCE-derived parameters may give additional information for further evaluation of breast cancer. KEY POINTS: • Inline DCE mapping with CDTV is effective and time-saving. • WL histogram and texture-extracted features could distinguish breast cancer from benign lesions accurately. • kep_contrast, kep_skewness, and IAUGC60_5th percentile could predict breast cancer subtypes, lymph node metastasis, and proliferation abilities, respectively.
