[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of in-phase and out-of-phase imaging in in grading gliomas.Materials and Methods: A total of 74 patients with glioma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. All patient underwent contrast enhanced imaging and in-phase and out-of-phase before the operation. The signal loss ratio (SLR) of the solid part of the glioma was calculated on the in-phase and out-of-phase imaging. The difference of SLR between high-grade glioma (HGG) and low-grade glioma (LGG) was compared, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the grading performance of SLR value.Results The SLR value of HGG was higher than that of LGG, which was statistically different (P<0.05). The area under curve (AUC) value of SLR to differentiate HGG and LGG was 0.895.Conclusions In-phase and out-of-phase imaging can help the grading of gliomas. It is simple and easy to implement, and has good clinical practical value.
