[Abstract] Objective: This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the value of dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in grading of glioma using histogram analysis.Materials and Methods: One hundred and twenty glioma patients were included with 28 low grade gliomas (LGG, grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ) and 92 high grade gliomas (HGG, grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ). Permeability parameters, including Ktrans, Kep, Ve, Vp, and perfusion parameters, including IAUGC, CBF and MTT, were derived from DCE-MRI by applying the modified two-compartment extended toft model. Unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the difference between DCE-MRI histogram parameters of different grade gliomas. The diagnostic efficiency, sensitivity, specificity and the corresponding diagnostic threshold value of different parameters were then compared by ROC.Results: There were significant differences of Ktrans, Kep, Ve, IAUGC and MTT between LGG and HGG (P<0.05). The results of ROC showed that IAUGC and Ve had the best diagnostic performance (P<0.05). The diagnostic efficiency of the 75th percentile of Ktrans had the most significant increase compare with the mean value. The 95th percentile of IAUGC had the best performance.Conclusions: Histogram analysis for DCE-MRI provides valuable information for glioma grading.
