Differentiation between peripheral zone prostate cancer and focal chronic prostatitis based on PI-RADS V2.1 assessment of quantitative DCE-MRI values
Objective:To investigate the differential value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) quantitative values based on the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version V2.1 between peripheral zone prostate cancer (PCa) and focal chronic prostatitis (CP). Materials and Methods:We reviewed 57 patients with peripheral zone PCa (study group) and 21 patients with CP (control group) admitted to the Second Peoples Hospital of Wuhu between January 2022 and April 2023,and all patients underwent T2WI,diffusion weighted imaging (DWI),and DCE-MRI. The PI-RADS V2.1 scores,quantitative values of DCE-MRI scans,were compared between the two groups for the bi-parameter (bp)-MRI (T2WI+DWI) and multi-parameter (mp)-MRI (T2WI+DWI+DCE-MRI) scanning protocols. The diagnostic value of each diagnostic protocol for peripheral zone PCa was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results:The PI-RADS V2.1 scores of the bp-MRI and mp-MRI scan protocols in the study group were (4.12±0.88) and (4.31±0.70),respectively,which were higher than those of the control group (2.42±1.14) and (2.52±1.22),respectively (P<0.05). The volume transport constant (Ktrans) and rate constant (Kep) of DCE-MRI quantitative values in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) (P>0.05). ROC analysis showed that the AUC (95% CI) for bp-MRI,mp-MRI,Ktrans and Kep for the diagnosis of PCa in the peripheral zone were 0.780 (0.672-0.866),0.857 (0.759-0.926),0.734 (0.622-0.828) and 0.818 (0.716-0.896),respectively. The diagnostic efficacy of mp-MRI was slightly higher than that of bp-MRI (P<0.05),and the differences among the remaining items were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The ROC fitted diagnostic model using the logit(p) method showed no statistically significant differences in the diagnostic efficacy of Kep+Ktrans,mp-MRI+Ktrans and mp-MRI+Kep when compared to PCa in the peripheral zone (P>0.05). The diagnostic efficacy of Kep+Ktrans was not statistically significant when compared with bp-MRI,mp-MRI,Ktrans and Kep (P>0.05). The diagnostic efficacy of mp-MRI+Ktrans was higher than that of bp-MRI,mp-MRI,Kep and Ktrans,respectively (P<0.05). The diagnostic efficacy of mp-MRI+Kep was higher than that of bp-MRI and Ktrans,respectively (P<0.05). Conclusions:Based on PI-RADS V2.1 mp-MRI,bp-MRI and DCE-MRI quantitative values of Ktrans and Kep,the differential diagnostic efficacy of peripheral PCa and CP is comparable,and the combination of the two quantitative parameters,or respectively with mp-MRI,can effectively improve the diagnostic efficacy and can provide more options for the diagnosis of patients with different clinical indications.
