Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Cervical tumors of 38 cervix cancer patients were scanned by T(1)-weighted dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI and then by DCE-CT on the same day. Gadodiamide and iohexol were respectively used as the low-molecular-weight contrast agent in DCE-MRI and DCE-CT. Under an extended Tofts model, DCE-MRI data were analyzed using either individual arterial input functions estimated by a multiple reference tissue method or a population arterial input function by Parker et al., whereas DCE-CT data were analyzed using the arterial input function directly measured from the external iliac arteries. The derived quantitative parameters of cervical tumors were compared between DCE-MRI and DCE-CT. When using the individual multiple reference tissue method arterial input functions to analyze the DCE-MRI data, the correlation coefficients between DCE-MRI- and DCE-CT-derived parameters were, respectively, back-flux rate constant (r = 0.80), extravascular extracellular fractional volume (r = 0.73), contrast agent transfer rate (r = 0.62), and blood plasma volume (r = 0.32); when using the Parker population arterial input function, the correlation coefficients were back-flux rate constant (r = 0.79), extravascular extracellular fractional volume (r = 0.77), contrast agent transfer rate (r = 0.63), and blood plasma volume (r = 0.58). Tumor parametric maps derived by DCE-MRI and DCE-CT had very similar morphologies. However, the means of most derived quantitative parameters were significantly different between the two imaging methods. Close correlation of quantitative parameters derived from two independent imaging modalities suggests both are measuring similar tumor physiologic variables.
