Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to compare T1-weighted gradient echo (T1W GrE: control technique) chemical shift imaging (CSI) with T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2W FSE: experimental technique) CSI for differentiating non-neoplastic and neoplastic marrow lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients undergoing MRI for various marrow lesions were investigated with T1W GrE and T2W FSE Dixon CSI. Signal intensity (SI) change between in-phase (IP) and opposed-phase (OP) sequences was calculated, and SI drop > 20% considered to represent non-neoplastic lesions while SI drop < 20% considered to represent neoplastic lesions. Final diagnosis was based on imaging features (n = 42) or histology (n = 43) and classified as non-neoplastic, benign neoplastic, and malignant neoplastic. Inter-observer and inter-technique agreement between 2 readers was calculated. RESULTS: The study included 85 patients (44 males and 41 females; mean age 41.1 years, range 2-83 years). Final diagnosis included 19 (22.4%) non-neoplastic lesions, 27 (31.8%) benign neoplasms, and 39 (45.9%) malignant neoplasms. On T1W GrE CSI, 19-21 lesions were classed as non-neoplastic and 64-66 as neoplastic, while on T2W FSE Dixon CSI, 22-24 lesions were classed as non-neoplastic and 61-64 as neoplastic. Lesion classification matched between the 2 techniques in 91.8-96.5% of cases. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of T1W GrE CSI for differentiating non-neoplastic and neoplastic marrow lesions were 66.7-72.2%, 88.1-89.6%, 61.9-63.2%, 90.9-92.2%, and 84.7%, and of T2W FSE Dixon CSI were 72.2-77.8%, 85.1-86.6%, 58.3-59.1%, 92.1-93.4%, and 83.5%. CONCLUSIONS: T1W GrE CSI and T2W FSE Dixon CSI produce similar results in the assessment of non-neoplastic and neoplastic marrow lesions.
