Amide proton transfer-weighted imaging and stretch-exponential model DWI based 18F-FDG PET/MRI for differentiation of benign and malignant solitary pulmonary lesions

Abstract Objectives To differentiate benign and malignant solitary pulmonary lesions (SPLs) by amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI), mono-exponential model DWI (MEM-DWI), stretched exponential model DWI (SEM-DWI), and 18F-FDG PET-derived parameters. Methods A total of 120 SPLs patients und...

description Abstract Objectives To differentiate benign and malignant solitary pulmonary lesions (SPLs) by amide proton transfer-weighted imaging (APTWI), mono-exponential model DWI (MEM-DWI), stretched exponential model DWI (SEM-DWI), and 18F-FDG PET-derived parameters. Methods A total of 120 SPLs patients underwent chest 18F-FDG PET/MRI were enrolled, including 84 in the training set (28 benign and 56 malignant) and 36 in the test set (13 benign and 23 malignant). MTRasym(3.5 ppm), ADC, DDC, α, SUVmax, MTV, and TLG were compared. The area under receiver-operator characteristic curve (AUC) was used to assess diagnostic efficacy. The Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors and establish prediction model. Results SUVmax, MTV, TLG, α, and MTRasym(3.5 ppm) values were significantly lower and ADC, DDC values were significantly higher in benign SPLs than malignant SPLs (all P < 0.01). SUVmax, ADC, and MTRasym(3.5 ppm) were independent predictors. Within the training set, the prediction model based on these independent predictors demonstrated optimal diagnostic efficacy (AUC, 0.976; sensitivity, 94.64%; specificity, 92.86%), surpassing any single parameter with statistical significance. Similarly, within the test set, the prediction model exhibited optimal diagnostic efficacy. The calibration curves and DCA revealed that the prediction model not only had good consistency but was also able to provide a significant benefit to the related patients, both in the training and test sets. Conclusion The SUVmax, ADC, and MTRasym(3.5 ppm) were independent predictors for differentiation of benign and malignant SPLs, and the prediction model based on them had an optimal diagnostic efficacy.
