[Abstract] Objective To compare the diagnostic efficacy between combined MRI sequences and multi detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) in T staging of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, so as to provide a reference basis for clinical accurate T staging.Materials and Methods Ninty patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma confirmed by biopsy in our hospital were prospectively collected. All of them had complete combined MRI sequences (high-resolution T2-TSE-BLADE sequence, high-resolution T1-STAR-VIBE-FS delayed enhancement sequence) and MDCT enhancement examination data. The evaluation was performed separately under double-blind by two attending radiologists, and the Kappa consistency test was used to evaluate the consistency of the T staging of the two subjects. The sensitivity, specificity and Yoden index of the above two T-staging methods were calculated according to the gold standard of postoperative pathology; the consistency of combined MRI sequences, single-mode sequence and MDCT staging were analyzed by Kappa consistency test according to the pathological criteria.Results Postoperative pathological T staging: 22 patients (24.44%) in T1 stage, 22 patients (24.44%) in T2 stage, 34 patients (37.78%) in T3 stage and 12 patients (13.33%) in T4a stage. The Kappa values of the consistency test of the two T staging methods for the two subjects were 0.97 and 0.86, respectively. The results of this study: (1) The sensitivity, specificity and Youden index of the combined MRI sequences for T1-T3 stages are higher than those of MDCT; (2) The two staging methods have low sensitivity, high specificity, and low Youden index for T4a; (3) The Kappa values from high to low were combined MRI sequences (0.91), T1-STAR-VIBE-FS (0.81), T2-TSE-BLADE (0.78) and MDCT (0.71).Conclusions Combined MRI sequences are better than MDCT for T staging of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
