Objective:To explore the value of apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)combined with amide proton transfer imaging(APT)in the differential diagnosis of prostate cancer(PCa)and prostatic hyperplasia(BPH),and to improve the diagnostic accuracy through the combined analysis of multiple indicators.Methods:The MRI data of 62 prostate patients in our hospital from June to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Pathological findings showed that 30 cases of BPH and 32 cases of PCa.The patients were examined by Philips Ingenia 3.0T CX magnetic resonance scanner,and high b-value(b=2000 s/mm2)DWI and APT sequences were added on the basis of conventional T1WI and T2WI sequences.The DWI and APT images were uploaded to IntelliSpace,a Philips dedicated workstation,and ADC values and APT values were measured.The rAPT was calculated by the APT value in the formula rAPT=APT in ROI/the APT value on the opposite side.The baseline data of PCa group and BPH group as well as APT,rAPT and ADC were compared by independent sample t test.Logistic regression was used to construct a multi-parameter combined diagnosis model,and ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the single and combined diagnosis efficiency of the three indicators with AUC.Results:ADC(t=2.169,P=0.034),APT(t=-8.156,P<0.001)and rAPT(t=-8.917,P<0.001)were significantly different between PCa group and BPH group.The optimal diagnostic thresholds for APT were 2.25%,sensitivity 91%,specificity 83%,and AUC 0.921(95%CI:0.849-0.993,P<0.05).The optimal diagnostic threshold of rAPT was 1.175,sensitivity was 88%,specificity was 93%,and AUC was 0.876(95%CI:0.772-0.980,P<0.05).The optimal diagnostic threshold of ADC is 0.803 × 10-3 mm2/s,with 94%sensitivity and 97%specificity.The AUC was 0.928(95%CI:0.841-1.000,P<0.05).The AUC for combined diagnosis was 0.969(95%CI:0.920-1.000,P<0.001).Conclusion:APT,rAPT,ADC combined diagnostic efficiency is better than single diagnostic efficiency,clinical MRI multi-index combined analysis can improve the diagnostic accuracy.
