Abstract:
PURPOSE:To investigate the diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) in early minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) diagnosis and evaluate the correlations between changes in DKI metrics and cognitive performance. METHODS:We enrolled 116 cirrhosis patients, divided into non-HE (n = 61) and MHE (n = 55), and 46 normal controls (NCs). All patients underwent cognitive testing before magnetic resonance imaging. DKI metrics were calculated through whole-brain voxel-based analysis (VBA) and differences between the groups were assessed. Pearson correlation between the DKI metrics and cognitive performance was analysed. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyse the diagnostic efficiency of DKI metrics for MHE. RESULTS:MHE patients had significantly altered DKI metrics in a wide range of regions; lower fractional anisotropy (FA) and higher mean diffusivity (MD) are mainly located in the corpus callosum, left temporal white matter (WM), and right medial frontal WM. Furthermore, significantly altered kurtosis metrics included lower mean kurtosis (MK) in the corpus callosum and left thalamus, lower radial kurtosis (RK) in the corpus callosum, and lower axial kurtosis (AK) in the right anterior thalamic radiation. Alterations in axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), and MD were closely correlated with cognitive scores. The ROC curves indicated AD in the forceps minor had the highest predictive performance for MHE in the cirrhosis patients (area under curve = 0.801, sensitivity = 77.05%, specificity = 74.55%). CONCLUSIONS:Altered DKI metrics indicate brain microstructure abnormalities in MHE patients, some of which may be used as neuroimaging markers for early MHE diagnosis.
