[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the differential diagnosis value of MR pharmacokinetic perfusion scan using compressed sense technique between idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) appearing as non-mass enhancement with segmental distribution on MR.Material and Methods: A total of 42 non-mass enhanced breast lesions with segmental distribution on MR (IGM 27 cases, IDC 15 cases) were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were pathologically proved. Comparison of menstrual state, age, inner enhancement pattern, between two groups were made with Fisher's exact test, t test and Chi-square test. The t test and Mann Whitney U test were used to screen out the difference terms in the volume transfer constant (Ktrans), rate constant (Kep), extravascular space volume fraction and extracellular space volume fraction (Ve) between the two groups. Binary logistic linear regression was used to obtain the odds ratios (OR) of the parameter with significant difference and its receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated to evaluate the diagnostic value.Results There were significant differences in age and menstrual state between two groups (P=0.001, 0.003), while the difference in inner enhancement pattern was of no significant difference (P=0.883). MR pharmacokinetic perfusion scan: Ktrans(IGM) was (0.274±0.163) min-1, which was lower than Ktrans(IDC) (0.451±0.257) min-1. While Kep(IGM) (0.618±0.245) min-1 was higher than Kep(IDC) (0.856±0.420) min-1. Both differences of Ktrans and Kep between two groups were significant (P=0.013, 0.012). The Ve for two groups were Ve (IGM) (0.531±0.320) min-1 and Ve (IDC) (0.629±0.323) min-1. There was no significant difference in Ve between them (P=0.182). The OR value for Ktrans was 2.243 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.652-6.294)] in logistic linear regression (P=0.021). The Jordan index (0.585), sensitivity (73.3%), specificity (85.2%) and area under the curve (AUC) (0.778, 95% CI: 0.623-0.891) were obtained from the ROC for Ktrans (P=0.001).Conclusions The parameter Ktrans derived from MR pharmacokinetic perfusion scan using compressed sense technique can be used to distinguish IGM from IDC, which appeare as non-mass enhancement with segmental distribution on MR.
