Alterations of regional alveolar oxygen tension in asymptomatic current smokers: assessment with hyperpolarized (3)He MR imaging.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:To assess the ability of helium 3 ((3)He) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of regional alveolar partial pressure of oxygen (Pao2) to depict smoking-induced functional alterations and to compare its efficacy to that of current diagnostic techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS:This study was approved by the local institutional review board and was compliant with HIPAA. All subjects provided informed consent. A total of 43 subjects were separated into three groups: nonsmokers, asymptomatic smokers, and symptomatic smokers. All subjects underwent a Pao2 imaging session followed by clinically standard pulmonary function tests (PFTs), the 6-minute walk test, and St George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). The whole-lung mean and standard deviation of Pao2 were compared with metrics derived from PFTs, the 6-minute walk test, and the SGRQ. A logistic regression model was developed to identify the predictors of alterations to the lungs of asymptomatic smokers. RESULTS:The whole-lung standard deviation of Pao2 correlated with PFT metrics (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1]/forced vital capacity [FVC], Pearson r = -0.69, P < .001; percentage predicted FEV1, Pearson r = -0.67, P < .001; diffusing capacity of lung for carbon monoxide [Dlco], Pearson r = -0.45, P = .003), SGRQ score (Pearson r = 0.67, P < .001), and distance walked in 6 minutes (Pearson r = -0.47, P = .002). The standard deviation of Pao2 was significantly higher in asymptomatic smokers than in nonsmokers (change in the standard deviation of Pao2 = 7.59 mm Hg, P = .041) and lower when compared with symptomatic smokers (change in the standard deviation of Pao2 = 10.72 mm Hg, P = .001). A multivariate prediction model containing FEV1/FVC and the standard deviation of Pao2 (as significant predictors of subclinical changes in smokers) and Dlco (as a confounding variable) was formulated. This model resulted in an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve with a significant increase of 29.2% when compared with a prediction model based solely on nonimaging clinical tests. CONCLUSION:The (3)He MR imaging heterogeneity metric (standard deviation of Pao2) enabled the differentiation of all three study cohorts, which indicates that it can depict smoking-related functional alterations in asymptomatic current smokers.
