Intravoxel incoherent motion parameters of breast cancer at MRI: effect of region of interest on parameter measurement consistency
Background and purpose: Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) based on the
theory of biexponential model is increasingly researched in the field of oncology. There is growing interest in the reproducibility of biexponential diffusion parameters. This study aimed to investigate the reproducibility of IVIM parameters of breast cancer based on different regions of interest (ROIs) and the influence of breast density
microcalcifications and histological grade on this reproducibility. Methods: In this retrospective study
60 patients with breast cancer who treated in Central Hospital of Wuhan
Tongji Medical College
Huazhong University of Science and Technology underwent 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
including an IVIM diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) examination with 12 different b-values (0-1 200 s/mm
2
). Two radiologists independently delineated different ROIs that were used to measure IVIM parameters [true diffusion coefficient (D)
pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D
*
) and perfusion fraction (f)]. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated to assess measurement reproducibility of the parameters. Variability between readers was assessed by using Bland-Altman 95% limits of agreement and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The effects of breast density
microcalcifications
and histological grade on measurement reproducibility were also assessed. Results: There was no significant difference in the IVIM parameters (D
f and D
*
) among the three tumor ROIs. The intra- and interobserver reproducibility were good for D and f (ICC≥0.773). However
D
*
had poor measurement reproducibility (ICC0.75). Bland-Altman analysis revealed the narrowest 95% limits of agreement using the outlined-tumor ROI for D between readers. All breast cancer parameters were highly reproducible irrespective of breast density
histological grade or coexistence of microcalcifications (ICC≥0.811). Conclusion: Outlined-tumor ROI was more reproducible with respect to IVIM parameter measurements than the tumor fixed-radius ROI method. Breast density
microcalcific
ations and histological grade did not significantly affect the repeatability of the IVIM parameters.
