Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) parameters and angiogenesis and to explore prospectively the feasibility of using DSC-MRI to differentiate malignant from benign soft tissue tumors (STTs) in limbs. METHODS:This prospective study included 33 patients with STTs in limbs who underwent DSC-MRI after bolus Gd-DTPA infusion. All STTs were confirmed by pathological examination after surgery and microvessel density (MVD), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, were evaluated by immune-histochemical analysis. Semiquantitative DSC-MRI parameters, including negative enhancement integral (NEI), maximum slopes of decrease (MSD) and increase (MSI), and mean time to enhancement were calculated by postprocessing in workstation. The correlation was analyzed between DSC-MRI parameters and angiogenesis factors. Then, the DSC-MRI parameters were compared between benign and malignant STTs and evaluated for diagnostic efficiency by receiver operating characteristic. RESULTS:The 33 evaluated tumors were consisted of 13 benign and 20 malignant STTs in limbs. Significant positive correlations were observed between NEI, MSD, MSI and MVD, VEGF (p < 0.05). However, mean time to enhancement had no correlation with MVD and VEGF. The benign and malignant STTs differed significantly in terms of NEI, MSD, and MSI (p < 0.05). The areas under the curve (AUC) of NEI, MSD, and MSI were 0.915, 0.862, and 0.815 for discriminating between benign and malignant STTs, respectively. CONCLUSION:DSC-MRI parameters are positively correlated with MVD and VEGF, which can evaluate angiogenesis indirectly. Furthermore, DSC-MRI can be considered as one of assistant noninvasive MR imaging technique in differentiation between benign and malignant STTs in limbs.
