Abstract

Objective

To analyze the association of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values measured by readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (rs-EPI) using different simultaneous multislice (SMS) acceleration factors and the differentiation of rectal cancer grade.

Materials and methods

Patients with non-mucinous rectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed by biopsy (endoscope-guided biopsy or surgical resection) were retrospectively collected, and each patient underwent an MRI examination. ADC values of rs-EPI, 2 × SMS rs-EPI, and 3 × SMS rs-EPI were recorded as ADC1, ADC2, and ADC3, respectively.

Results

The scanning time of 2 × SMS rs-EPI was 60 s, 56.2% shorter than 137 s of rs-EPI sequence, while that of 3 × SMS rs-EPI was 51 s, 72.8% less than that of rs-EPI time. The ADC value of the three groups dropped with the decrease in cancer grade (p < 0.05). The AUC values of ADC1, ADC2, and ADC3 in predicting highly differentiated rectal cancer were 0.74, 0.729, and 0.687, respectively. The difference in AUC values between ADC1 and ADC2 was not statistically significant (p = 0.889).

Discussion

SMS technology with an acceleration factor of 2 could be applied clinically to evaluate the pathological differentiation of rectal cancer grade.
