The Value of CT Combined with MRI in Evaluating the Grade of Glioma and Its Role in Guiding Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy
Objective To analyze the value of CT combined with magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in evaluating the grade of glioma,and to explore its role in guiding radiotherapy and chemotherapy.Methods Eighty-six patients with glioma admitted to our hospital from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected.All patients were examined by CT and MRI when they were admitted to the hospital.Based on histopathological examination,the consistency between CT and MRI in evaluating the grade of glioma and histopathological examination was analyzed.Rtesults The results of histopathological examination showed that among the 86 patients with glioma,there were 9 cases of grade Ⅰ(10.47%),29 cases of grade Ⅱ(33.72%),21 cases of grade Ⅲ(24.42%)and 27 cases of grade Ⅳ(31.40%).The grading results of brain gliomas evaluated by CT and MRI alone are consistent with the results of histopathological examination(Kappa=0.709,0.743,P<0.05).The results of CT and MRI combined assessment of glioma grading were in excellent agreement with histopathological examination(Kappa=0.823,P<0.05).The volumes of GTV,clinical target and planned target in CT-MRI fusion image group were smaller than those in CT image group(P<0.05).The maximum dose and average dose of target area in CT-MRI fusion image group were lower than those in CT image group(P<0.05).The maximum dose and minimum dose of brain stem,optic nerve,optic chiasma,pituitary,lens and eyeball in CT-MRI fusion image group were lower than those in CT image group(P<0.05).Follow-up for one year showed that the recurrence rate of CT image group(32.56%)was not significantly different from that of CT-MRI fusion image group(37.21%)(P>0.05).Conclusion The combination of CT and MRI has excellent consistency with histopathological examination,has high clinical application value,and plays an important role in the guidance of radiotherapy and chemotherapy,which can reduce the radiation dose of normal tissue and protect normal tissue.
