This study is expected to provide
information about differentiating of benign from malignant pulmonary lesions
with GRASP-DCE MRI among
33 lung lesions. The results initially indicated that the quantitative DCE
parameters could be a useful technique
for lung lesions detection.
Figure1.The GRASP DCE-derived quantitative
values distribution of malignancy and benignity in lung lesions. The mean
values of Ve in Adeno-Ca and benign groups are 0.360±0.167 and 0.428±0.114. (ANOVA,
p<0.05)
Figure 3. A
72-year-old male with a 6cm mass in the right upper lobe. This mass was
diagnosed as adenocarcinoma IIIb (cT4N2M0). (A): Free-breathing
Golden-angle RAdial Sparse Parallel (GRASP)-DCE MRI post-processed image
showing mean Ktrans of 0.264 min-1, Kep of 1.769 min-1 and Ve of 0.149. The iAUC
value of Time-intensity curve for this mass was 0.125. (B):There
were 3 early phases images from top to the bottom after contrast injection
showing the mass continuous heterogeneous enhancement.
