Diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy CT virtual non-calcium images with different related contrast material values for the detection of bone marrow edema in knee.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different related contrast material (Rel.CM) values in dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) virtual non-calcium (VNCa) images for the detection of bone marrow edema (BME) in knee. METHOD:This prospective study was approved by the institutional research ethics board, and written informed consent was obtained from all participants. Twenty-three patients (24 knees) who underwent dual-energy CT and MRI within three weeks from July 2018 to June 2019 with a definite history of trauma were enrolled. Each knee was divided into 12 regions. First, MR images served as the reference standard, Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used and diagnostic accuracy of VNCa images corresponding to different Rel.CM values (1.25, 1.35, 1.45, 1.55, 1.65, 1.75) were analyzed, aimed to select an optimal Rel.CM value of VNCa images for detecting BME. Then, CT values of the normal areas and BME areas were measured on the VNCa images corresponding to the optimal Rel.CM value for preliminary quantitative analysis. The rank-sum test was used to compare the differences of CT values between BME areas and normal bone marrow areas on the VNCa images. RESULTS:The 24 knees were divided into 288 areas. MR Imaging showed BME in 121 areas. The areas under the ROC curve with different Rel.CM values (1.25, 1.35, 1.45, 1.55, 1.65, and 1.75) were 0.633, 0.674, 0.882, 0.684, 0.651, and 0.649, respectively. On the VNCa images of Rel.CM = 1.45, the diagnostic accuracy was the highest (up to 89.2 %), the CT values of the BME area and the normal area were -67.9 (1.7∼-100.1) HU and -94.5 (-69.7∼-144.9) HU, respectively, with statistical significance (Z=-9.804, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The VNCa images with a Rel.CM value of 1.45 is optimal for the detection of BME in knee.
