[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the value of synthetic MRI (synthetic MRI, syMRI) combined with three-dimensional arterial spin labeling imaging (3D-ASL) in differentiating recurrence and pseudoprogression of glioma.Materials and Methods Thirty-eight patient cases with surgical pathologically confirmed glioma and abnormal enhancing foci after postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from July 2020 to March 2022 were collected. The enrolled cases were divided into recurrence group (22 cases) and pseudoprogression group (16 cases) according to the Modified Criteria for Radiographic Response Assessment in Glioblastoma (mRANO). All patients underwent 3D-ASL and syMRI serial scans. The cerebral blood flow (CBF) value of abnormal enhancement area and post-enhancement T1 value (T1-Gd) and T2 value (T2-Gd) were measured. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences of parameters between recurrence and pseudoprogression group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of T1-Gd, CBF and the combination.Results T1-Gd in recurrence group was lower than T1-Gd in pseudoprogression group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.001). The difference between the two groups in T2-Gd was not statistically significant (P＞0.05). The CBF value in recurrence group was higher than that in pseudoprogression group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.001). The results of ROC curve analysis showed the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.882 and 0.916 for T1-Gd and CBF values, and the AUC was 0.951 for T1-Gd combined with CBF values.Conclusions Synthetic MRI combined with 3D-ASL is helpful to non-invasively distinguish the recurrence and pseudoprogression of glioma, and its diagnostic efficiency is better than that of single MR parameter.
