Optimization of diagnosis indicator selection and inspection plan by 3.0T MRI in breast cancer

Objective: To optimize 3.0T MRI diagnosis indicator in breast cancer and to select the best MRI scan program.Methods: Totally 45 patients with breast cancers were collected,and another 35 patients with benign breast tumor served as the control group.All patients underwent 3.0T MRI,including T1weighted imaging(T1WI),fat suppression of the T2-weighted imaging(T2WI),difusion weighted imaging(DWI),1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H-MRS) and dynamic contrast enhanced(DCE) sequence.With operation pathology results as the gold standard in the diagnosis of breast diseases,the pathological results of benign and malignant served as dependent variables,and the diagnostic indicators of MRI were taken as independent variables.We put all the indicators of MRI examination under Logistic regression analysis,established the Logistic model,and optimized the diagnosis indicators of MRI examination to further improve MRI scan of breast cancer.Results: By Logistic regression analysis,some indicators were selected in the equation,including the edge feature of the tumor,the time-signal intensity curve(TIC) type and the apparent difusion coeicient(ADC) value when b=500 s/mm2.he regression equation was Logit(P)=–21.936+20.478X 6 +3.267X 7 + 21.488X 3.Conclusion: Valuable indicators in the diagnosis of breast cancer are the edge feature of the tumor,the TIC type and the ADC value when b=500 s/mm2.Combining conventional MRI scan,DWI and dynamic enhanced MRI is a better examination program,while MRS is the complementary program when diagnosis is diicult.
