Abstract
Objectives
To evaluate the multi-parametric diagnostic performance with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), standardized uptake value (SUV) and the relative SUV (rSUV) of hybrid 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance image (18F-FDG PET/MRI) to differentiate residual/recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RNPC) and nasopharyngeal lymphoma (NPL).
Materials and Methods
One hundred and sixty-three patients, including PNPCs (n = 86), RNPCs (n = 53) and PNPLs (n = 24), were recruited in this study. The peak standardized uptake value (SUVpeak), maximum (SUVmax), and mean (SUVmean) were obtained by workstation, and relative SUVpeak (rSUVpeak), SUVmax (rSUVmax) and SUVmean (rSUVmean) were obtained by standardization of the contralateral normal-appearing lateral pterygoid muscle. The minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmin) and mean ADC (ADCmean) were obtained by ROIs measurement. Bivariate logistic regression was used to determine the best logistic regression model for classification. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance.
Results
RNPCs showed significantly lower SUVmean, rSUVpeak, rSUVmax and rSUVmean than that of NPLs. The ADCmean of PNPL was significantly lower than that of RNPC. The joint model with ADCmean and rSUVmean achieved the higher AUC, which was 0.92, and the sensitivity and specificity were 88.7% and 91.7%, respectively.
Conclusion
The combination of ADCmean and rSUVmean allowed reliable differentiation between RNPC and NPL.
