Summary |
Objective |
Correction of contrast leakage is recommended when enhancing lesions during perfusion analysis. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) with a delay-invariant singular-value decomposition algorithm (SVD+) and a Patlak plot in differentiating glioblastomas from lymphomas.
Materials and methods |
This prospective study included 17 adult patients (12 men and 5 women) with pathologically proven glioblastomas (n=10) and lymphomas (n=7). CTP data were analyzed using SVD+ and a Patlak plot. The relative tumor blood volume and flow compared to contralateral normal-appearing gray matter (rCBV and rCBF derived from SVD+, and rBV and rFlow derived from the Patlak plot) were used to differentiate between glioblastomas and lymphomas. The Mann-Whitney U test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used for statistical analysis.
Results |
Glioblastomas showed significantly higher rFlow (3.05±0.49, mean±standard deviation) than lymphomas (1.56±0.53; P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between glioblastomas and lymphomas in rBV (2.52±1.57 vs. 1.03±0.51; P>0.05), rCBF (1.38±0.41 vs. 1.29±0.47; P>0.05), or rCBV (1.78±0.47 vs. 1.87±0.66; P>0.05). ROC analysis showed the best diagnostic performance with rFlow (Az=0.871), followed by rBV (Az=0.771), rCBF (Az=0.614), and rCBV (Az=0.529).
Conclusion |
CTP analysis with a Patlak plot was helpful in differentiating between glioblastomas and lymphomas, but CTP analysis with SVD+ was not.
