| Popis: | Background and purposeMeningioma grade is determined by histologic analysis, with detectable brain invasion resulting in a diagnosis of grade II or III tumor. However, tissue undersampling is a common problem, and invasive parts of the tumor can be missed, resulting in the incorrect assignment of a lower grade. Radiographic biomarkers may be able to improve the diagnosis of grade and identify targets for biopsy. Prior work in patients with gliomas has shown that the resting-state blood oxygen level-dependent fMRI signal within these tumors is not synchronous with normal brain. We hypothesized that blood oxygen level-dependent asynchrony, a functional marker of vascular dysregulation, could predict meningioma grade.Materials and methodsWe identified 25 patients with grade I and 11 patients with grade II or III meningiomas. Blood oxygen level-dependent time-series were extracted from the tumor and the radiographically normal control hemisphere and were included as predictors in a multiple linear regression to generate a blood oxygen level-dependent asynchrony map, in which negative values signify synchronous and positive values signify asynchronous activity relative to healthy brain. Masks of blood oxygen level-dependent asynchrony were created for each patient, and the fraction of the mask that extended beyond the contrast-enhancing tumor was computed.ResultsThe spatial extent of blood oxygen level-dependent asynchrony was greater in high (grades II and III) than in low (I) grade tumors (P < 0.001) and could discriminate grade with high accuracy (area under the curve = 0.88).ConclusionsBlood oxygen level-dependent asynchrony radiographically discriminates meningioma grade and may provide targets for biopsy collection to aid in histologic diagnosis. |
