목적 : 다양한 강한 T2 고속 스핀 에코 기법과 균형항정상태세차를 이용한 고속 영상 기법을 이용하여 국소 간병변 진단시 낭성 여부를 평가하고 악성 여부를 진단하는데 4가지 기법 간의 유의한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2005년 6월부터 8월까지 76명의 환자에서 자기공영상에서 확인된 93예의 국소 간 병변을 대상으로 하였다. 초전도형 1.5T 자기 공명 영상 장치를 이용 세가지 다른 에코시간(80, 180-190, 300 msec)의 호흡 중지 T2강조 단발 고속 스핀 에코 촬영 기법과 호흡 중지 2차원 균형항정상태세차를 이용한 기법의 고속 영상 기법으로 시행되었다. 2명의 방사선과 전문의가 정성적 분석하였다. 그리고, 또 다른 방사선과 전문의가 병변 대 병변 대간 대조대잡음비를 구하였다. 결과 : 네 가지 기법에서 판독자간의 일치도는 낭성 평가와 악성도 평가에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 낭성 그리고 악성도 평가의 정확도는 에코시간 80 msec에서 가장 높았다. 악성도 평가시 제 2 판독자에서 에코시간 80 msec과 균형항정상태세차간에 p-값이 0.004로 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 병변 대 간 대조대잡음비를 구하였고 에코 시간이 길어질수록 낭성 병변의 대조대잡음비는 증가되는 결과를 보였다. 결론 : 단발 고속 스핀 에코 기법이 정확성과 일치도에서 균형항정상태세차기법보다 우수하였다. 통계적 유의성은 없으나 에코시간 80 msec이 에코시간 300 msec보다 약간 높은 정확도와 일치도를 보였다. 그리고, 에코시간 180 msec의 강한 T2 강조 단발 고속 스핀 에코기법은 에코시간 80 msec에서 판정이 애매할 경우 추가적인 도움이 될 수 있다.
Abstract
Purpose : To determine the diagnostic accuracy of four different sequences : moderately T2 weighted, two heavily T2-weighted single shot turbo spin-echo sequence and breath-hold axial-2D balanced turbo field-echo sequence(bFFE) for characterization of focal lesions. Materials and Methods : During the 3-month period between June and August 2005, seventy-six patients were proved to have ninety-three focal hepatic lesions on MR imaging. The patients consisted of 49 men and 27 women (age range, 15-75 years; mean age, 56.23 years). All MR images were acquired on a 1.5-T MR using the following sequences: 1. A breath-hold axial T2-weighted single shot turbo spin-echo sequence, 2. a breath-hold axial-2D balanced turbo field-echo sequence. Two radiologists performed quantitative analysis. Another radiologist measured the lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio at the region-of-interest in the four sequences. Results : There was no significant difference in inter-observer variability between the four sequences. The accuracy for both cyst and malignancy of moderate T2 weighted MRI (echo time: 80 msec) was also highest. There was significant difference for lesion characterization between moderate T2 weighted MRI and balanced steady state procession (p-value: 0.004) in the second reader. For longer echo time, the CNR of cystic lesions were markedly increased in comparison to lesions of other component. Conclusion : The accuracy and inter-observer variability of single shot turbo spin echo T2 weighted sequence was higher than bFFE. Although there was no statically significant difference, moderate T2 weighted MRI (echo time: 80 msec) was more accurate than heavily T2 weighted sequence (echo time: 300 msec). If the results for lesion characterization is equivocal in TE 80, the addition of heavily T2 weighted MRI (echo time: 180 msec) can be helpful.
