[Abstract] Objective: Differential diagnosis of intracranial solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) and meningioma by diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) combined with minimum apparent diffusion coefficient (MinADC) to improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy.Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of preoperative clinical data, DWI characteristics and pathological data of 10 patients with SFT/HPC (WHO Ⅱ grade) and 22 patients with meningioma (WHO Ⅱ grade) confirmed by surgery and pathology from March 2012 to August 2018. MinADC value of the SFT/HPCs (n=10) was measured on ADC map and was compared with that of meningiomas (n=22). Comparison of MinADC values between SFT/HPC and meningioma was conducted by Welch test. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) to evaluate the differential diagnosis value of MinADC value.Results: In 10 cases of SFT/HPC, the solid components of the tumor showed equal signal (n=8) and slightly higher signal (n=2) on DWI, the mean value of MinADC was (1.16±0.23)×10-3 mm2/s. In 22 cases of meningioma, the solid components of the tumor showed slightly higher signal (n=18) and equal signal (n=2) and high signal (n=2) on DWI, the mean value of MinADC was (0.80±0.12)×10-3 mm2/s, less than that of SFT/HPC, the difference of MinADC values between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). For the differentiation between SFT/HPC and meningioma, the critical cutoff MinADC value was 0.90×10-3 mm2/s, which provided the best combination of sensitivity (97.6%) and specificity (94.3%), the area under the ROC curve was 0.92±0.32, corresponding to histopathological findings, the Kappa value of the repeat measurements was 0.91 for SFT/HPC and 0.87 for meningioma, which indicated a good concordance of the results.Conclusions: MinADC value can be used as a quantitative tool to distinguish intracranial SFT/HPC from meningioma and improve the accuracy of preoperative diagnosis.
