Highlights |
• | Quantitative analysis of meningioma vascularity using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MR imaging demonstrates correlations to the estimated blood loss (EBL) during surgery after controlling for the tumor volume. |
• | After leakage correction, the corrected relative CBV (rCBV) and K2 were independent predictors of EBL/cm3, which reflects the inherent tendency of meningiomas to bleed. |
• | The rCBV and K2 derived from DSC perfusion MR imaging in meningiomas may serve as feasible tools for clinicians to predict intraoperative blood loss and facilitate surgical planning. |
Abstract |
Purpose |
To evaluate the potential of quantitative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion MR imaging parameters as imaging biomarkers for predicting intraoperative blood loss in meningioma.
Methods |
Fifty-one non-embolized meningioma patients who had undergone preoperative DSC perfusion MR imaging were retrospectively included. The corrected relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and leakage coefficient (K2) of the entire enhanced tumor were obtained using leakage correction. Tumor volume, location, grade, and other clinical variables, were also analyzed. To investigate the vascularity and vascular permeability of meningiomas, and their correlation with predicting estimated blood loss (EBL) using preoperative DSC perfusion MR imaging, the authors proposed an index reflecting the inherent tendency of meningiomas to bleed after controlling volume (i.e., EBL/cm3). Simple regression was performed to identify predictors of EBL/cm3; subsequently, the relevant variables included in the stepwise multiple linear regression.
Results |
On univariate analysis, EBL/cm3 was correlated with rCBV (r=0.677; P<0.001), K2 (r=0.294; P=0.036), and tumor volume (r=–0.312, P=0.026). EBL/cm3 was not correlated with age (P=0.873), sex (P=0.404), tumor location (P=0.327), or histological grade (P=0.230). On multiple linear regression, rCBV (β=0.663 [0.463–0.864], B=1.293 [0.903–1.684; P<0.001) and K2 (β=0.260 [0.060–0.460], B=2.277 [0.523–4.031], P=0.012), were the only independent predictors of EBL/cm3.
Conclusion |
The rCBV and K2 derived from DSC perfusion MR imaging in meningiomas may serve as feasible tools for clinicians to predict intraoperative blood loss and facilitate surgical planning.
