[Abstract] Objective: To compare the value of various parameters obtained from monoexponential, biexponential, andstretched exponential diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) models in identification ofbrucellosis spondylitis and spinal tuberculosis.Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of our hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 of 34 cases of brucellar spondylitis patients with biochemical detection (SAT 1∶100++ or RBPT++), 31 cases of spinal tuberculosis confirmed by tuberculosis culture and surgical pathology, all patients underwent routine MRI examination and multi-DWI scan. ADC, D, D*, f and DDC, values were measured in BSD group and STB group. comparison between groups using independent sample t test or Wilcoxon test, ROC to differentiate the diagnostic efficacy, Correlation test between variables using Pearson test.Results: ADC, D, D* , f, DDC, a were higher in the BSD group than in the STB group, in addition to f all have statistical significance. ADC, D, DDC, D*, a all have higher differential diagnostic performance, the AUC is 0.87, 0.85, 0.76, 0.71, 0.71, respectively, the thresholds are: 0.000889, 0.000664, 0.00106, 0.00309, 0.81. The correlations of ADC, D and DDC in BSD group and STB group were better, the correlation between ADC and DDC was the strongest in BSD and STB groups, the correlation coefficients were 0.81 and 0.89 respectively.Conclusions: ADC calculated from mono-exponential model and D, D* calculated from bi-exponential model and DDC, a calculated from stretched exponential model all have high performance in identifying brucellosis spondylitis and spinal tuberculos, bi-exponential model provides perfusion information and stretched exponential model provides diffusion heterogeneity information. However, the diagnostic performance of the biexponential model and the stretched exponential model is not higher than the traditional monoexponential model, so DWI is still recommended in clinical practice.
