Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the quantitative parameter values of incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM) in magnetic resonance magnetins for the diagnosis of mammary good malignant lesions. Methods: Totally 50 cases who underwent breast MR and confirmed pathologically were collected from January to December, 2017 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Multiple b-value DWI (b=0-2 000 s/mm2) was examined for all patients, and quantitative parameters of IVIM disease levels were measured, including standardized epigenetic diffusion coefficient (ADC standard), true diffusion coefficient (D), false diffusion coefficient (D*) and perfusion score (f). According to their pathological results, the patients were divided into 2 groups, with 21 malignant (malignant group) and 29 benign (benign group). Their IVIM parameters of lesions were statistically analyzed, the differences between the two groups were compared, the ROC curve drawn, and the diagnostic efficiency was analyzed. Results: There was significant difference between the benign group and the malignant group in ADC standard and D value (P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference between the D*-value and the f-value (P>0.05). In the malignant group, the ADC standard and D values were (1.10±0.38)×10-3 mm2/s, (0.88±0.24)× 10-3 mm2/s, significantly lower than the ADC standard and D values in the benign group (1.69±0.26)×10-3 mm2/s, (1.56±0.25)×10-3 mm2/s, ADC standard and D value diagnosed as good malignant lesions ROC area 0.879, 0.966, best threshold for diagnosis is 1.26×10-3 mm2/s, 1.18×10-3 mm2/s. ADC standard’s sensitivity and specificity to good malignant tumors in the breast were 83.33% and 95.45% respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of D value were 91.67% and 90.91% respectively. Conclusion: The quantitative parameters obtained by the IVlM model are helpful to the differential diagnosis of mammary malignant lesions, of which the D value is the best diagnostic index to distinguish between good malignant mammopathy.
