Abstract:
PURPOSE:To compare the effect of different echo times (TE) on the detection of prostate cancer (PCa) on T2-weighted MR images. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study recruited patients (n = 38) with histologically confirmed PCa who underwent preoperative 3T MRI. Three radiologists independently marked region on interests (ROIs) on suspected PCa lesions on T2-weighted images at different TEs: 90, 150, and 180 ms obtained with Turbo Spin Echo imaging protocol with multiple echoes. The ROIs were assigned a value 1-5 indicating the reviewer's confidence in accurately detecting PCa. These ROIs were compared to histologically confirmed PCa (n = 95) on whole mount prostatectomy sections to calculate sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV), and confidence score. RESULTS:Two radiologists (R1, R2) showed significantly increased sensitivity for PCa detection at 180 ms TE compared to 90 ms (R1: 43.2, 50.5, 50.5%, R2: 45.3, 44.2, 53.7% at TE of 90, 150, 180 ms, respectively) (p = 0.048, 0.033 for R1 and R2). Sensitivity was similar for radiologist 3 (45.3%-46.3%) at different TE values (p = 0.953). No significant difference in the PPV (R1: 64.1%-70.6%, R2: 46.7%-56.0%, R3: 70.5%-81.5%) and the confidence score assigned (R1: 4.6-4.8, R2: 4.6-4.8 R3: 4.3-4.4) was found for either of the radiologists. CONCLUSION:Our results suggest improved detection of PCa with similar PPV and confidence scores when higher TE values are utilized for T2-weighted image acquisition.
