    Journal: Eur Radiol; 2022 Jun; 32(6):3744-3754. PubMed ID: 35076759.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the glioma grade, Ki-67 expression, and IDH-1 mutation status using mean apparent propagator (MAP) MRI. METHODS: Forty enrolled glioma patients underwent structural and diffusion MRI. The diffusion metric values including fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), mean squared displacement (MSD), q-space inverse variance (QIV), return-to-origin probability (RTOP), return-to-axis probability (RTAP), and return-to-plane probability (RTPP) in tumor parenchyma (TP) and contralateral normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) were calculated. The TP/NAWM ratios of diffusion metric values were correlated with tumor grades, Ki-67, and IDH-1 mutation statuses, and the diagnostic performance was assessed. RESULTS: QIV were significantly higher, whereas RTAP and RTOP were significantly lower in low-grade gliomas (LGGs) than those in high-grade gliomas (HGGs); QIV and MD were significantly higher, whereas RTAP and RTOP were significantly lower in lower-grade gliomas (grade II and III) than those in grade IV gliomas (p < 0.05 for all). RTAP performed best in grading gliomas. MSD, QIV, and MD were significantly higher, whereas RTAP, RTOP, RTPP, and FA were significantly lower in the IDH-1 mutant gliomas than those in the IDH-1 wild-type ones both for all gliomas and lower-grade gliomas (p < 0.05 for all). RTAP performed best in all gliomas, while QIV performed best in lower-grade gliomas. Additionally, RTAP, RTOP, and FA correlated positively, whereas MSD, QIV, and MD correlated negatively with Ki-67 (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: MAP-MRI is a potent approach in evaluating the microstructural changes in gliomas with different grades, cellular proliferation, and IDH-1 mutation statuses. KEY POINTS: • MAP-MRI, a newly developed diffusion technique, accurately reveals microstructure-related features in the complex white matter by recovering important microstructural tissue parameters. • MAP-MRI is a potent approach in evaluating the glioma grade, IDH-1 mutation status, and Ki-67 expression. • Compared with DTI, MAP-MRI seems to demonstrate higher diagnostic performance.
