Multiple directional DWI combined with T2WI in predicting muscle layer and Ki-67 correlation in bladder cancer in 3.0-T MRI.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the value of 3.0T MRI multi-directional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) combined with T2WI morphological features and lesion distribution in preoperative prediction of muscle layer invasion of bladder cancer (BC) and the correlation with postoperative Ki-67.

Materials and methods

This retrospective study enrolled patients with BC between 2019 and 2021. Patients with muscular invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) or non-muscular invasive BC (NMIBC) were also analyzed by preoperative 3.0T MRI aFostic efficacy.

Results

A total of 186 patients were enrolled. About 27 patients with MIBC (35 lesions in total) and 62 with NMIBC (99 lesions in total). We found the tumor with a larger size, a wide base, and a smaller apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC) val
