Abstract
PurposeTo investigate the feasibility for preoperative prediction of IDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation status in glioblastomas(GBMs) by intravoxel incoherent motion(IVIM) and dynamic susceptibility contrast(DSC). MethodsPreoperative IVIM and DSC images of 71 patients(IDH mutation:45, IDH wildtype: 26; MGMT methylation: 31, MGMT unmethylation:40) with glioblastomas were analyzed retrospectively. Perfusion parameters including microcirculation perfusion coefficient(D*), perfusion fraction(f), cerebral blood volume(CBV) and cerebral blood flow(CBF) were measured. Corrected perfusion parameters containing corrected perfusion coefficient(ADCperf) and simplified perfusion fraction(SPF) were from the simplified IVIM with 3 b values. Correlations among parameters were analyzed by Spearman correlation. All parameters were compared with Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were constructed. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was analyzed. ResultsThe IVIM parameters showed merely moderate correlations with CBV and showed no correlation with CBF. IDH mutation GBMs showed lower D*, ADCperf, SPF, CBV and higher f than IDH wildtype GBMs(all p < 0.05). D* was the independent predictor for IDH mutation with the highest AUC of 0.912(95%CI: 0.821–0.966). The D*, ADCperf, SPF and CBV of MGMT promoter methylation GBMs were lower than unmethylation GBMs while f was higher(all p < 0.05). Multivariate model showed the highest prediction efficacy for MGMT promoter methylation with an AUC of 0.915(95%CI: 0.824–0.968). The CBF was not useful in distinguishing IDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation status(p = 0.055, 0.215). ConclusionIDH mutation and MGMT promoter methylation status in GBMs can be assessed effectively by IVIM and DSC. Besides, D* was the independent predictor of IDH mutation status.
