Quantitative measures of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease progression can provide valuable tools for evaluation of new treatments during clinical trials. In this study, a novel multispectral (MS) MRI analysis method is presented to quantify changes in bone lesion volume (DeltaBLV) in the hands of RA patients. Image registration and MS analysis were employed to identify MS tissue class transitions between two serial MRI exams. DeltaBLV was determined from MS class transitions between two time points. The following three classifiers were investigated: (a) multivariate Gaussian (MVG), (b) k-nearest neighbor (k-NN), and (c) K-means (KM). Unlike supervised classifiers (MVG, k-NN), KM, an unsupervised classifier, does not require labeled training data, resulting in potentially greater clinical utility. All MS estimates of DeltaBLV were linearly correlated (r(p)) with manual estimates. KM and k-NN estimates also exhibited a significant rank-order correlation (r(s)) with manual estimates. For KM, r(p) = 0.94 p < 0.0001, r(s) = 0.76 p = 0.002; for k-NN, r(p) = 0.86 p = 0.0001, r(s) = 0.69 p = 0.009; and for MVG, r(p) = 0.84 p = 0.0003, r(s) = 0.49 p = 0.09. Temporal classification rates were as follows: for KM, 90.1%; for MVG, 89.5%; and for k-NN, 86.7%. KM matched the performance of k-NN, offering strong potential for use in multicenter clinical trials. This study demonstrates that MS tissue class transitions provide a quantitative measure of DeltaBLV. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a technique, in a pilot study, for measuring abnormal capillary permeability in synovial tissue of rabbit arthritic knees using dynamic MRI with a gadolinium-based blood pool agent. Arthritis, simulating rheumatoid arthritis, was induced in knees of 8 rabbits by intra-articular injection of carrageenan (n = 4) or ovalbumin (n = 4). Sequential fat presaturated T1-weighted Spoiled Grass images were obtained before and up to 30 min after intravenous administration of albumin-(Gd-DTPA)30. Estimates of synovial tissue plasma-volume (PV), fractional-leak-rate (FLR), and permeability-surface-area-product (PS) were computed. Histologic correlation was obtained in the corresponding regions. Dynamic MRI showed extravasation of albumin-(Gd-DTPA)30 into hypertrophic synovium in six of the eight arthritic knees. Histologic examination of these six knees showed markedly inflamed synovium. The two knees that did not show abnormal vascular permeability contained non-hypertrophic synovium. None of the rabbits showed abnormal permeability in muscle. MRI derived microvascular characteristics (PV, FLR and PS) correlated positively (r2 = 0.51, 0.97 and 0.86) with the histology. Factors involving the structural and functional microvascular characteristics of synovial tissue can be estimated non-invasively using albumin-(Gd-DTPA)30. This technique may be useful for monitoring disease progression and treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献
