[Abstract] Objective: To estimate the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance (DCE-MR) images in the differential diagnosis between malignant and benign lung lesions.Materials and Methods: A total of thirty patients (male 13, female 17) with the presence of a newly detected solitary pulmonary lesion on CT, which was a solid nodule and needed further evaluation were included. All subjects were examined and underwent DCE-MR with CDT-VIBE. Ktrans、Kep、Ve and iAUC were calculated using the modified Tofts model.Results: In this study, 17 benign pulmonary lesions and 13 malignancies were found. The longest transverse diameter measured ranged from 1.1 to 5.3 cm. Malignancies had significantly higher Ktrans, Kep, iAUC than the benign lesions (P<0.05). The results of the ROC analysis showed AUC values for Ktrans (0.988), Kep (0.756), iAUC (0.806).Conclusions: Dynamic MR imaging reveals significant Ktrans, Kep, iAUC differences in perfusion between malignant and benign pulmonary lesions.
