BACKGROUND: It remains unknown whether the parameters obtained using the Stretched Exponential Model (SEM) and Fractional Order Calculus (FROC) models can help distinguish Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) from Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the application value of the parameters of the 3.0T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) high-order SEM and FROC diffusion model in differentiating HCC and ICC.
METHODS: Patients with pathologically confirmed HCC and ICC were prospectively enrolled. Diffusion-weighted imaging scans with multiple b-values were acquired 2 weeks before the surgery. The original MRI images were fitted using the mono-exponential model, SEM, and FROC, and several parameters were obtained for the analysis.
RESULTS: In total, 74 patients with HCC and 21 with ICC were included in the study. Significant differences between the HCC and ICC groups were noted in the Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC: p = 0.007), Distributed Diffusion Coefficient (DDC: p < 0.001), and Diffusion coefficient (D: p < 0.001), as each value was significantly lower in the HCC than in the ICC group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of ADC, DDC, and D was 0.694, 0.812, and 0.825, respectively, and the most effective corresponding cut-off values were 1.135 μm2/ms, 1.477 μm2/ms, and 1.104 μm2/ms, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The diffusion parameters DDC from the SEM and D from the FROC model have been found to be more effective in discriminating HCC and ICC than the ADC from the mono-exponential model. Combining these quantitative parameters can improve the MRI's diagnostic accuracy, providing useful information for the preoperative differential diagnosis between HCC and ICC.
