Abstract:
:Background Available methods to quantify regional dynamic thoracic function in thoracic insufficiency syndrome (TIS) are limited. Purpose To evaluate the use of quantitative dynamic MRI to depict changes in regional dynamic thoracic function before and after surgical correction of TIS. Materials and Methods Images from free-breathing dynamic MRI in pediatric patients with TIS (July 2009-August 2015) were retrospectively evaluated before and after surgical correction by using vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib (VEPTR). Eleven volumetric parameters were derived from lung, chest wall, and diaphragm segmentations, and parameter changes before versus after operation were correlated with changes in clinical parameters. Paired analysis from Student t test on MRI parameters and clinical parameters was performed to detect if changes (from preoperative to postoperative condition) were statistically significant. Results Left and right lung volumes at end inspiration and end expiration increased substantially after operation in pediatric patients with thoracic insufficiency syndrome, especially right lung volume with 22.9% and 26.3% volume increase at end expiration (P = .001) and end inspiration (P = .002), respectively. The average lung tidal volumes increased after operation for TIS; there was a 43.8% and 55.3% increase for left lung tidal volume and right lung tidal volume (P < .001 for both), respectively. However, clinical parameters did not show significant changes from pre- to posttreatment states. Thoracic and lumbar Cobb angle were poor predictors of MRI tidal volumes (chest wall, diaphragm, and left and right separately), but assisted ventilation rating and forced vital capacity showed moderate correlations with tidal volumes (chest wall, diaphragm, and left and right separately). Conclusion Vertical expandable prosthetic titanium rib operation was associated with postoperative increases in all components of tidal volume (left and right chest wall and diaphragm, and left and right lung tidal volumes) measured at MRI. Clinical parameters did not demonstrate improvements in postoperative tidal volumes. © RSNA, 2019 Online supplemental material is available for this article.
