[Abstract] Objective: To evaluate the capacity of noninvasive intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM) parameters (perfusion fraction (f), pseudo diffusion coefficient (D*), true diffusion coefficient (D) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value in preoperative predicting the Ki-67 expression in non-small cell lung cancer.Materials and Methods: The institutional review board approved this study, and written informed consent was obtained from each patient. The IVIM (b=0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800 s/mm2) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI, b=50, 800 s/mm2) were used to examine 60 patients (41 males, 19 females, 35—81 years old) with a 3.0 T scanner. All patients had received a histopathologic diagnosis of lung cancer based on bronchoscopy, percutaneous needle-guided, or surgical biopsies, all of them had undergone immunohistochemistry staining. ADC, D, f and D* were generated by using a prototype software body diffusion toolbox, two radiologists drew the region of interest on the parametric maps. The areas of focal necrosis, large vessels, and prominent artifacts were avoided carefully. Each lesion was measured for three times. The correlation between ADC, D, D*, f value and Ki-67 expression is calculated by Spearman correlation.Results: The ADC and D value of non-small cell lung cancer was negatively correlated with the Ki-67 expression (ADC value: r=-0.335, P=0.009)(D: r=-0.330, P=0.01). The ADC value of lung adenocarcinoma was negatively correlated with the Ki-67 expression (r=-0.424, P=0.008).Conclusions: The ADC and D value would be an imaging biomarker for the prediction of tumor aggressiveness indicators such as Ki-67 in non-small cell lung cancer.
