Highlights

Boogard’s angle have the best diagnostic accuracy for basilar invagination.
Chamberlain line and Boogard’s angle have an excellent inter-rater agreement.
In cases where odontoid apex to the Chamberlain line distance cannot be measured, the best alternative is Boogard's angle.

Abstract

Objectives

This study aims to determine the reliability of the radiological tests used in the diagnosis of basilar invagination (BI).

Methods

Patients diagnosed with type B basilar invagination, who had both magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) imaging between January 2014 and November 2019 were included in this retrospective reliability study. In this study, distance from odontoid apex to Chamberlain’s line (OA-CL) was accepted as a reference method for the diagnosis. Forty-two BI cases and 79 controls were included. Three radiologists with different levels of experience individually evaluated OA-CL, Boogard’s angle (BoA), clivo-axial angle (CXA), clivo-dens angle (CDA), and clivo-palate angle (CPA) on midsagittal CT and MR images. Statistical analysis was made with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), t-test, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

Results

The ICC for CT and MR were; 0.977−0.973 (OA-CL), 0.912−0.882 (BoA), 0.845−0.846 (CXA), 0.862−0.864 (CDA), and 0.762−0.747 (CPA) respectively (P < 0.001). The areas under the ROC curve were 0.977 (BoA), 0.832 (CXA), 0.852 (CDA), and 0.719 (CPA) (P < 0.001). The cut-off measures were ≥137.84° (BoA), ≤149.25° (CXA), ≤129.58° (CDA), and ≤61.83° (CPA). The diagnostic accuracies were 0.954 (BoA), 0.664 (CXA), 0.704 (CDA), 0.438 (CPA) (P < 0.001).

Conclusions

OA-CL and BoA express excellent inter-rater agreement than CXA, CDA, and CPA, which are limited due to morphological variations and head spatial position. BoA is the second most reliable diagnostic test. CXA, CDA, should only be used for complementary information. CPA was found inadequate for the diagnosis of BI.
