[Abstract] Objective To explore the value of monoexponential, fractional order calculus (FROC) models based on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) in assessing the proliferation status of lung adenocarcinoma.Materials and Methods A total of 64 patients with lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology in our hospital were included. The expression of Ki-67 in lung cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry and divided into the high Ki-67 group (＞25%) and the low Ki-67 group (≤25%). Before treatment, all patients underwent a dedicated thoracic 18F-FDG PET/MR examination. The DWI was scanned with 10 b-values (0-1000 s/mm2). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), a microstructural quantity (μ), diffusion coefficient (D), fractional order parameter (β) and maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were compared between the two groups. The independent predictors of Ki-67 proliferative status were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the discriminant performance, and the correlation between each parameter and Ki-67 was analyzed.Results The ADC, D, and β values in the low Ki-67 group were significantly higher than in the high Ki-67 group (P＜0.05), and the μ and SUVmax values in the high Ki-67 group were significantly higher than in the low Ki-67 group (P＜0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of parameters D and SUVmax were 0.873 and 0.727, respectively, and multivariate logistic regression showed that parameters D (OR: 0.421, 95% CI: 0.245-0.723, P=0.002) and SUVmax (OR: 1.022, 95% CI: 1.002-1.042, P=0.031) were independent risk factors for high Ki-67 expression. ADC and D values were negatively correlated with Ki-67 (r=-0.361, r=-0.420), and μ and SUVmax values were positively correlated with Ki-67 (r=0.369, r=0.527).Conclusions Monoexponential, FROC models and 18F-FDG PET are effective methods to evaluate the proliferation status of lung adenocarcinoma, and the D value of FROC model shows the highest diagnostic performance. FROC model provides a new perspective for exploring the information of tumor tissue microenvironment, and has great potential in non-invasive evaluation of lung adenocarcinoma proliferation, and its clinical application has broad prospects.
