Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy for extra-ocular orbital soft tissue tumours: a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy. CANADIAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY 2025; 60:e403-e414. [PMID: 39542032 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcjo.2024.10.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2024] [Revised: 10/11/2024] [Accepted: 10/22/2024] [Indexed: 11/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of ultrasound (US)-guided coaxial core-needle biopsy (CNB) for histomolecular diagnosis of extra-ocular orbital soft tissue tumours as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical biopsy. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at a single Comprehensive Cancer Center and included all consecutive patients referred to our center between 2015 and 2023 for the diagnosis and treatment of orbital soft tissue tumours. All patients underwent US-guided transconjunctival coaxial CNB using a semiautomatic 18-gauge biopsy gun. Pathological analysis included morphological analysis, immunostainings, and molecular biology techniques when required. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were included consisting of 21 adults (median age: 64 years, range: 24-93 years), 1 adolescent (17 years), and 4 children (aged 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 26 months, and 6 years). Tumour largest diameters ranged from 11 to 57 mm (median 23 mm). The overall feasibility of CNB was 88% (23/26), and it was 100% (5/5) in children. The histological accuracy was 91% (21/23), and its safety was 96% (25/26). Molecular biology analyses were requested in 9 out of 23 cases and were successful in all instances. The final diagnoses included hematological malignancies (n = 8), carcinomas (n = 5), metastases (n = 4), sarcomas (n = 4), and benign mesenchymal tumours (n = 5). CONCLUSIONS This study supports the use of US-guided coaxial CNB for the pathological and molecular diagnosis of orbital soft tissue tumours in both children and adults. This technique shows promise as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical biopsy.

Abstract
The treatment of orbital masses often requires an interdisciplinary approach. Ophthalmological surgical approaches include the anterior transcutaneous approach for removal of dermoids or taking biopsies. Anterior transconjunctival orbitotomy is suitable for masses of the inferior orbit or the intraconal compartment, but is inappropriate for masses of the orbital apex. The lateral transosseous orbitotomy often fits for masses of the lateral or intraconal compartment, especially for neoplasms of the lacrimal gland e.g. pleomorphic adenoma. Cryoextraction is often the technique of first choice for cavernous haemangiomas of all localisations. Transfrontal approaches are suitable for the resection of tumours of the optic nerve and of the orbital apex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orbital tumors present a diagnostic challenge due to their varied locations and histopathological differences. Although recent advancements in imaging have improved diagnosis, classification remains a challenge. The integration of artificial intelligence in radiology and ophthalmology has demonstrated promising outcomes. PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning models in accurately distinguishing malignant orbital tumors from benign ones using multiparametric 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this single-center prospective study, patients with orbital masses underwent presurgery 3 T MRI scans between December 2015 and May 2021. The MRI protocol comprised multiparametric imaging including dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM), as well as morphological imaging acquisitions. A repeated nested cross-validation strategy using random forest classifiers was used for model training and evaluation, considering 8 combinations of explanatory features. Shapley additive explanations (SHAP) values were used to assess feature contributions, and the model performance was evaluated using multiple metrics. RESULTS One hundred thirteen patients were analyzed (57/113 [50.4%] were women; average age was 51.5 ± 17.5 years, range: 19-88 years). Among the 8 combinations of explanatory features assessed, the performance on predicting malignancy when using the most comprehensive model, which is the most exhaustive one incorporating all 46 explanatory features-including morphology, DWI, DCE, and IVIM, achieved an area under the curve of 0.9 [0.73-0.99]. When using the streamlined "10-feature signature" model, performance reached an area under the curve of 0.88 [0.71-0.99]. Random forest feature importance graphs measured by the mean of SHAP values pinpointed the 10 most impactful features, which comprised 3 quantitative IVIM features, 4 quantitative DCE features, 1 quantitative DWI feature, 1 qualitative DWI feature, and age. CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that a machine learning approach, integrating multiparametric MRI data such as DCE, DWI, IVIM, and morphological imaging, offers high-performing models for differentiating malignant from benign orbital tumors. The streamlined 10-feature signature, with a performance close to the comprehensive model, may be more suitable for clinical application.

Abstract
Purpose Perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI; magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) has been shown to provide valuable biological tumor information in uveal melanoma (UM). Clinically used semiquantitative methods do not account for tumor pigmentation and eye movement. We hypothesize that a quantitative PWI method that incorporates these, provides a more accurate description of tumor perfusion than the current clinical method. The aim of this study was to test this in patients with UM before and after radiotherapy. Methods Perfusion-weighted 3T MRIs were retrospectively analyzed in 47 patients with UM before and after radiotherapy. Tofts pharmacokinetic modeling was performed to determine vascular permeability (Ktrans), extracellular extravascular space (ve), and reflux rate (kep). These were compared with semiquantitative clinical parameters including peak intensity and outflow percentage. Results The effect of tumor pigmentation on peak intensity and outflow percentage was statistically significant (P < 0.01) and relative peak intensity was significantly different between melanotic and amelanotic tumors (1.5 vs. 1.9, P < 0.01). Before radiotherapy, median tumor Ktrans was 0.63 min-1 (range = 0.06-1.42 min-1), median ve was 0.23 (range = 0.09-0.63), and median kep was 2.3 min-1 (range = 0.6-5.0 min-1). After radiotherapy, 85% showed a decrease in Ktrans and kep (P < 0.01). Changes in tumor pigmentation before and after radiotherapy were small and not significant (median increase in T1 of 33 ms, P = 0.55). Conclusions Quantitative PWI parameters decreased significantly after radiotherapy and can therefore can serve as an early biomarker for treatment response assessment. However, due to the nonsignificant changes in tumor pigmentation before and after radiotherapy, the current semiquantitative method appears to be sufficiently sensitive for detection of changes in tumor perfusion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Ultrasound (US) is widely used for evaluating various orbital conditions. However, accurately diagnosing malignant orbital masses using US remains challenging. We aimed to develop an ultrasonic feature-based model to predict the presence of malignant tumors in the orbit. METHODS A total of 510 patients with orbital masses were enrolled between January 2017 and April 2023. They were divided into a development cohort and a validation cohort. In the development cohort (n = 408), the ultrasonic and clinical features with differential values were identified. Based on these features, a predictive model and nomogram were constructed. The diagnostic performance of the model was compared with that of MRI or observers, and further validated in the validation cohort (n = 102). RESULTS The involvement of more than two quadrants, irregular shape, extremely low echo of the solid part, presence of echogenic foci, cast-like appearance, and two demographic characteristics (age and sex) were identified as independent features related to malignant tumors of the orbit. The predictive model constructed based on these features exhibited better performance in identifying malignant tumors compared to MRI (AUC = 0.78 [95% CI: 0.73, 0.82] vs. 0.69 [95% CI: 0.64, 0.74], p = 0.03) and observers (AUC = 0.93 [95% CI: 0.90, 0.95] vs. Observer 1, AUC = 0.80 [95% CI: 0.76, 0.84], p < 0.01; vs. Observer 2, AUC = 0.71 [95% CI: 0.66, 0.76], p < 0.01). In the validation cohort, the predictive model achieved an AUC of 0.88 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.94). CONCLUSION The ultrasonic-clinical feature-based predictive model can accurately identify malignant orbital tumors, offering a convenient approach in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide a major review on the applications of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in evaluating orbital lesions. This review also outlines selected scenarios where DCE-MRI may be helpful. METHODS A comprehensive retrospective literature review of all English language publications on PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar between 1994 and 2022. This literature review examined the specific applications and clinical scenarios surrounding the utility of DCE-MRI in orbital lesions and various findings that have been presented in the current literature. RESULTS DCE-MRI provides information on tissue physiology and permeability, beyond the anatomical features displayed on static imaging. Various measured parameters (qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative) obtained by DCE-MRI have been used to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions, specific orbital lymphoproliferative diseases (OLPD), lacrimal gland lesions, and various rare orbital tumours. DCE-MRI has a limited role as an initial diagnostic imaging modality. However, DCE-MRI may prove to have benefit in predicting and monitoring treatment response in orbital lymphoma as a critical imaging study, but literature specific to orbital malignancies remains limited. CONCLUSION The value of DCE-MRI may be in situations of diagnostic uncertainty, where it may be an additional imaging aid following conventional imaging techniques. It may also act as a critical imaging modality for monitoring of orbital tumour treatment response, but the literature remains limited. Standardisation of imaging protocol, measured parameters, and statistical analysis remain limitations of this imaging technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Orbital lesions are rare but serious. Their characterization remains challenging. Diagnosis is based on biopsy or surgery, which implies functional risks. It is necessary to develop noninvasive diagnostic tools. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging at 3T when distinguishing malignant from benign orbital tumors on a large prospective cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS This institutional review board-approved prospective single-center study enrolled participants presenting with an orbital lesion undergoing a 3T MR imaging before surgery from December 2015 to May 2021. Morphologic, diffusion-weighted, and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR images were assessed by 2 readers blinded to all data. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed. To assess diagnostic performance, we used the following metrics: area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity. Histologic analysis, obtained through biopsy or surgery, served as the criterion standard for determining the benign or malignant status of the tumor. RESULTS One hundred thirty-one subjects (66/131 [50%] women and 65/131 [50%] men; mean age, 52 [SD, 17.1] years; range, 19-88 years) were enrolled. Ninety of 131 (69%) had a benign lesion, and 41/131 (31%) had a malignant lesion. Univariable analysis showed a higher median of transfer constant from blood plasma to the interstitial environment (K trans) and of transfer constant from the interstitial environment to the blood plasma (minute-1) (Kep) and a higher interquartile range of K trans in malignant-versus-benign lesions (1.1 minute-1 versus 0.65 minute-1, P = .03; 2.1 minute-1 versus 1.1 minute-1, P = .01; 0.81 minute-1 versus 0.65 minute-1, P = .009, respectively). The best-performing multivariable model in distinguishing malignant-versus-benign lesions included parameters from dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging, ADC, and morphology and reached an area under the curve of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.67-0.96), a sensitivity of 0.82 (95% CI, 0.55-1), and a specificity of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.65-0.96). CONCLUSIONS Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging at 3T appears valuable when characterizing orbital lesions and provides complementary information to morphologic imaging and DWI.

Abstract
AIM To establish the diagnostic value of the quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with conventional MRI in differentiating of benign and malignant lacrimal gland epithelial tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumours confirmed by histopathology was conducted. Conventional MRI features and DCE-MRI quantitative parameters were collected and subjected to analysis. The diagnostic value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS A total of 53 patients were enrolled of which 29 had malignant, whereas 24 had benign tumours. Conventional MRI revealed statistically significant differences between benign and malignant tumours regarding maximum tumour diameter, posterior margin characteristic, bone destruction, and erosion. The Ktrans and Kep values obtained by DCE-MRI were higher in malignant than in benign tumours, with a statistically significant (p<0.001 and p=0.022). A type I time-signal intensity (TIC) curve was more frequent in benign tumours, whereas a type II TIC curve was prevalent in malignant tumours (p=0.001). ROC analysis showed that Ktrans had the best diagnostic value of the DCE-MRI parameters (area under the ROC curve [AUC] of 0.822, 75.9% sensitivity, and 83.3% specificity, p<0.001). The combination of conventional MRI and DCE-MRI factors had the best diagnostic value and balanced sensitivity and specificity (AUC of 0.948, 93.1% sensitivity, and 91.7% specificity, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present findings indicate that the combination of quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI and image characteristics of conventional MRI have a high diagnostic value for the diagnosis of benign and malignant lacrimal gland epithelial tumours.

Abstract
The orbital manifestation of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is exceptionally rare and poses specific challenges in diagnosis and treatment. Its rather exceptional behavior among all SFTs comprises a high tendency towards local recurrence, but it rarely culminates in metastatic disease. This raises the question of prognostic factors in orbital SFTs (oSFTs). Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT)-promoter mutations have previously been linked to an unfavorable prognosis in SFTs of other locations. We analyzed the prevalence of TERT promoter mutations of SFTs in the orbital compartment. We performed a retrospective, descriptive clinico-histopathological analysis of nine cases of oSFTs between the years of 2017 and 2021. A TERT promoter mutation was present in one case, which was classified with intermediate metastatic risk. Local recurrence or progress occurred in six cases after primary resection; no distant metastases were reported. Multimodal imaging repeatedly showed particular morphologic patterns, including tubular vascular structures and ADC reduction. The prevalence of the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT was 11%, which is similar to the prevalence of extra-meningeal SFTs of the head and neck and lower than that in other extra-meningeal compartments. In the present study, the TERT promoter mutation in oSFT manifested in a case with an unfavorable prognosis, comprising aggressive local tumor growth, local recurrence, and eye loss.

Abstract
Benign and malignant pediatric orbital lesions can sometimes have overlapping features on conventional MR imaging sequences. MR imaging of 27 children was retrospectively reviewed to describe the signal of some common pediatric extraocular orbital lesions on arterial spin-labeling and to evaluate whether this sequence helps to discriminate malignant from benign masses, with or without ADC value measurements. Qualitative and quantitative assessments of arterial spin-labeling CBF and ADC were performed. All lesions were classified into 3 arterial spin-labeling perfusion patterns: homogeneous hypoperfusion (pattern 1, n = 15; benign lesions), heterogeneous hyperperfusion (pattern 2, n = 9; cellulitis, histiocytosis, malignant tumors), and homogeneous intense hyperperfusion (pattern 3, n = 3; infantile hemangiomas). Arterial spin-labeling can be a valuable tool to improve the diagnostic confidence of some orbital lesions, including infantile hemangioma. An algorithm is proposed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the findings of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for a series of orbital lesions and provide a systematic review of relevant literature. METHODS A retrospective review of 20 patients with orbital lesions who underwent MRI with DWI at two academic institutions between 2015 and 2020 was performed. Lesion diagnosis was histopathologically confirmed except a presumed cavernous hemangioma. Echoplanar diffusion-weighted images had been acquired using 2 or 3 b values (b=0 and 1000 or b=0, 500, and 1000) at 1.5T or 3T. Lesions with significant artifacts were excluded. DWI sequences were analyzed by neuro-radiologists blinded to the diagnosis. Mean ADC values of lesions were calculated from a single region of interest. An independent two-tailed t test was used to compare categories of lesions with p < 0.05 considered significant. A systematic review of the literature was performed. RESULTS Our study included 21 lesions. ADC values were significantly lower for malignant lesions (0.628 ± 0.125 × 10 -3 mm 2 /s) than inflammatory lesions (1.167 ± 0.381 × 10 -3 mm 2 /s) ( p < 0.001). ADC values were significantly lower for orbital lymphoma (mean 0.621 ± 0.147 × 10 -3 mm 2 /s) than idiopathic orbital inflammation (mean 1.188 ± 0.269 × 10 -3 mm 2 /s) with no overlap ( p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Orbital malignancies demonstrated lower ADC values, while inflammatory processes demonstrated higher ADC values, except IgG4-related disease. DWI and ADC values differentiated idiopathic orbital inflammation from orbital lymphoma. This study highlights the role of DWI in evaluating orbital pathology.

Abstract
Malignant masses of the orbit include a large variety of neoplasms of epithelial or mesenchymal origin. The treatment of orbital malignancies is an essential interdisciplinary field of medicine that integrates ENT medicine, facial surgery, plastic surgery, neurosurgery, oncology and radiology.The main symptom of malignant orbital masses is the exophthalmos. A symptom that can help to differentiate a benign from a malignant orbital mass can be the pain. The main diagnostic tool is the MRI including new sequences like DWI and DCE.After presenting symptoms and diagnostic strategies of malignant orbital masses, this article starts with the description of malignant epithelial neoplasms of the lacrimal gland. Furthermore, it describes new insights in orbital lymphomas, followed by the discussion of semimalignant orbital masses. Last but not least the text deals with malignant neoplasms of the skin that can grow secondarily in the orbit. Finally, the manuscript discusses orbital metastases.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms represent an uncommon disease with an increasing incidence. Thanks to improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, metastases previously considered uncommon, such as bone metastases, or even very rare, such as brain, orbital and cardiac metastases, are more frequently found in daily practice. Due to the great heterogeneity of these neoplasms, there is a lack of high-quality evidence on the management of patients with these types of metastases. The aim of this review is to provide the current state of the art, reviewing neuroendocrine neoplasm specific studies and useful information from other tumor types and to propose a treatment recommendation with algorithms to consider in daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Objective To compare the clinical and radiological features of various etiologies of chronic diffuse lacrimal gland enlargement. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 91 consecutive patients who underwent surgical biopsy for chronic diffuse lacrimal gland enlargement and were diagnosed with non-specific dacryoadenitis (DA) (n = 42), immunoglobulin G4-related dacryoadenitis (IgG4-RD) (n = 33), and lymphoma (n = 16). Data on patient demographics, clinical presentation, and CT imaging findings (n = 73) and MRI (n = 43) were collected. The following radiologic features of lacrimal gland enlargement were evaluated: size, unilaterality, wedge sign, angle with the orbital wall, heterogeneity, signal intensity, degree of enhancement, patterns of dynamic contrast-enhanced, and apparent diffusion coefficient value. Radiological features outside the lacrimal glands, such as extra-lacrimal orbital involvement and extra-orbital head and neck involvement, were also evaluated. The clinical and radiological findings were compared among the three diseases. Results Compared to the DA and IgG4-RD groups, the lymphoma group was significantly older (mean 59.9 vs. 46.0 and 49.4 years, respectively; p = 0.001) and had a higher frequency of unilateral involvement (62.5% vs. 31.0% and 15.2%, respectively; p = 0.004). Compared to the IgG4-RD and lymphoma groups, the DA group had significantly smaller lacrimal glands (2.3 vs. 2.8 and 3.3 cm, respectively; p < 0.001) and a lower proportion of cases with a wedge sign (54.8% vs. 84.8% and 87.5%, respectively; p = 0.005). The IgG4-RD group showed more frequent involvement of the extra-orbital head and neck structures, including the infraorbital nerve (36.4%), paranasal sinus (72.7%), and salivary gland (58.6%) compared to the DA and lymphoma groups (4.8%–28.6%) (all p < 0.005). Conclusion Patient age, unilaterality, lacrimal gland size, wedge sign, and extra-orbital head and neck involvement differed significantly different between lymphoma, DA, and IgG4-RD. Our results will be useful for the differential diagnosis and proper management of chronic lacrimal gland enlargement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI is currently not generally used for intraocular masses as lesions are small, have an inhomogeneous T1 and the eye is prone to motion. The aim of this paper is to address these eye-specific challenges, enabling accurate ocular DCE-MRI. MATERIALS & METHODS DCE-MRI of 19 uveal melanoma (UM) patients was acquired using a fat-suppressed 3D spoiled gradient echo sequence with TWIST (time-resolved angiography with stochastic trajectories sequence). The analysis consisted of a two-step registration method to correct for both head and eye motion. A T1 map was calculated to convert signal intensities to concentrations. Subsequently, the Tofts model was fitted voxel wise to obtain Ktrans and ve. RESULTS Registration significantly improved the concentration curve quality (p < 0.001). The T1 of melanotic lesions was significantly lower than amelanotic lesions (888 ms vs 1350 ms, p = 0.03). The average achieved B1+ in the lesions was 91%. The average Ktrans was 0.46 min-1 (range 0.13-1.0) and the average ve was 0.22 (range 0.10-0.51). CONCLUSION Using this eye-specific analysis, DCE of intraocular masses is possible which might aid in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up of UM.

Abstract
Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) is an autoimmune disease related to Grave's disease (GD). The therapeutic strategies for GO patients are based on precise assessment of the activity and severity of the disease. However, the current assessment systems require development to accommodate updates in treatment protocols. As an important adjunct examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help physicians evaluate GO more accurately. With the continuous updating of MRI technology and the deepening understanding of GO, the assessment of this disease by MRI has gone through a stage from qualitative to precise quantification, making it possible for clinicians to monitor the microstructural changes behind the eyeball and better integrate clinical manifestations with pathology. In this review, we use orbital structures as a classification to combine pathological changes with MRI features. We also review some MRI techniques applied to GO clinical practice, such as disease classification and regions of interest selection.

Abstract
AIM To characterise the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, in particular the functional MRI characteristics, of extraocular muscle granular cell tumours (GCTs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The CT (n=6) and MRI (n=8) features of eight extraocular muscle GCTs cofirmed at histopathology were analysed retrospectively. The imaging findings were evaluated with emphasis on the location, size, margin, shape, extent, bony change, internal architecture, enhancement pattern, and extent of lesions. Based on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value of six lesions and time-intensity curve (TIC) of one lesion were reviewed. RESULTS Immunohistochemistry revealed strong positivity for S-100 protein and a low Ki-67 index (2-5%) in all cases. Most of the lesions (7/8) were confined to the muscle belly with an ovoid shape. All of the tumours were isodense to cerebral grey matter and showed homogeneously mild enhancement on CT images. All lesions were hypointense to cerebral grey matter on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and showed homogeneously marked enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (T1WI). All lesions showed a hypo- or isointense signal on DWI images with a high b-value. The mean ADC of six lesions was (0.72 ± 0.14) × 10-3 mm2/s. The TIC of the case examined using DCE-MRI showed a plateau pattern (type II). CONCLUSION A well-defined oval mass confined to the muscle belly with a hypointense signal on T2WI, homogeneously marked enhancement on contrast-enhanced T1WI, hypo- or isointense signal on DWI, and low ADC value is highly suggestive of a GCT.

Abstract
Aim To determine the role of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in differentiating benign and malignant orbital masses. Materials and Methods After obtaining institutional ethical board approval and informed consent from all patients, an observational study was done for a period of 24 months in the radiology department of a tertiary care hospital in South India. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging and DWI using a 3T scanner was done for all patients with suspected orbital mass lesion. ADC value and clinicohistopathological correlation were studied for every patient. Chi-square test was used to compare the signal characteristics of DWI and ADC maps between benign and malignant lesions. A comparison of mean ADC values for benign and malignant masses was performed using Student's t -test for independent samples. The cut-off value for ADC was obtained using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results Of 44 patients with orbital lesions, 70% were benign and 30% were malignant. There was a significant difference in the mean ADC values of benign and malignant orbital masses. Using ROC curve analysis, an optimal ADC threshold of 1.26 × 10 -3 mm 2 /s was calculated for the prediction of malignancy with 100% sensitivity, 80.65% specificity, and 86.36% accuracy (95% confidence interval: 0.872, 1.00, p < 0.0001). Two ADC thresholds were used to characterize the orbital masses with more than 90% confidence. Conclusion Quantitative assessment of ADC is a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for differentiating benign and malignant orbital masses. Malignant orbital lesions demonstrate significantly lower ADC values as compared with benign lesions.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly used by the orbital surgeon to aid in the diagnosis, surgical planning, and monitoring of orbital disease. MRI provides superior soft tissue detail compared with computed tomography or ultrasound, and advancing techniques enhance its ability to highlight abnormal orbital pathology. Diffusion-weighted imaging is a specialized technique that uses water molecule diffusion patterns in tissue to generate contrast signals and can help distinguish malignant from benign lesions. Steady-state free precession sequences such as Constructive Interference in Steady-State (CISS) and Fast Imaging Employing Steady-state Acquisition (FIESTA) generate highly detailed, 3-dimensional reconstructed images and are particularly useful in distinguishing structures adjacent to cerebral spinal fluid. Magnetic resonance angiography can be used to characterize vascular lesions within the orbit. New developments in magnetic field strength as well as the use of orbital surface coils achieve increasingly improved imaging resolution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Distinguishing benign from malignant orbital lesions remains challenging both clinically and with imaging, leading to risky biopsies. The objective was to differentiate benign from malignant orbital lesions using radiomics on 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS This institutional review board-approved prospective single-center study enrolled consecutive patients presenting with an orbital lesion undergoing a 3 T MRI prior to surgery from December 2015 to July 2019. Radiomics features were extracted from 6 MRI sequences (T1-weighted images [WIs], DIXON-T2-WI, diffusion-WI, postcontrast DIXON-T1-WI) using the Pyradiomics software. Features were selected based on their intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility, nonredundancy, and with a sequential step forward feature selection method. Selected features were used to train and optimize a Random Forest algorithm on the training set (75%) with 5-fold cross-validation. Performance metrics were computed on a held-out test set (25%) with bootstrap 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Five residents, 4 general radiologists, and 3 expert neuroradiologists were evaluated on their ability to visually distinguish benign from malignant lesions on the test set. Performance comparisons between reader groups and the model were performed using McNemar test. The impact of clinical and categorizable imaging data on algorithm performance was also assessed. RESULTS A total of 200 patients (116 [58%] women and 84 [42%] men; mean age, 53.0 ± 17.9 years) with 126 of 200 (63%) benign and 74 of 200 (37%) malignant orbital lesions were included in the study. A total of 606 radiomics features were extracted. The best performing model on the training set was composed of 8 features including apparent diffusion coefficient mean value, maximum diameter on T1-WIs, and texture features. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity on the test set were respectively 0.869 (95% CI, 0.834-0.898), 0.840 (95% CI, 0.806-0.874), 0.684 (95% CI, 0.615-0.751), and 0.935 (95% CI, 0.905-0.961). The radiomics model outperformed all reader groups, including expert neuroradiologists (P < 0.01). Adding clinical and categorizable imaging data did not significantly impact the algorithm performance (P = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS An MRI radiomics signature is helpful in differentiating benign from malignant orbital lesions and may outperform expert radiologists.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging of the eye and orbit (MReye) is a cross-domain research field, combining (bio)physics, (bio)engineering, physiology, data sciences and ophthalmology. A growing number of reports document technical innovations of MReye and promote their application in preclinical research and clinical science. Realizing the progress and promises, this review outlines current trends in MReye. Examples of MReye strategies and their clinical relevance are demonstrated. Frontier applications in ocular oncology, refractive surgery, ocular muscle disorders and orbital inflammation are presented and their implications for explorations into ophthalmic diseases are provided. Substantial progress in anatomically detailed, high-spatial resolution MReye of the eye, orbit and optic nerve is demonstrated. Recent developments in MReye of ocular tumors are explored, and its value for personalized eye models derived from machine learning in the treatment planning of uveal melanoma and evaluation of retinoblastoma is highlighted. The potential of MReye for monitoring drug distribution and for improving treatment management and the assessment of individual responses is discussed. To open a window into the eye and into (patho)physiological processes that in the past have been largely inaccessible, advances in MReye at ultrahigh magnetic field strengths are discussed. A concluding section ventures a glance beyond the horizon and explores future directions of MReye across multiple scales, including in vivo electrolyte mapping of sodium and other nuclei. This review underscores the need for the (bio)medical imaging and ophthalmic communities to expand efforts to find solutions to the remaining unsolved problems and technical obstacles of MReye, with the objective to transfer methodological advancements driven by MR physics into genuine clinical value.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess arterial spin-labeling (ASL) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and in combination for differentiating between idiopathic orbital inflammatory pseudotumor (IOIP) and orbital lymphoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study was done on 37 untreated patients with orbital masses, suspected to be IOIP or orbital lymphoma that underwent ASL and DWI of the orbit. Quantitative measurement of tumor blood flow (TBF) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of the orbital lesion was done. RESULTS There was a significant difference (P = 0.001) in TBF between patients with IOIP (n = 21) (38.1 ± 6.2, 40.3 ± 7.1 ml/100 g/min) and orbital lymphoma (n = 16) (55.5 ± 7.1, 56.8 ± 7.9 ml/100 g/min) for both observers respectively. Thresholds of TBF used for differentiating IOIP from orbital lymphoma were 48, 46 ml/100 g/min revealed area under the curve (AUC) of (0.958 and 0.921), and accuracy of (86% and 83%) for both observers respectively. There was a significant difference (P = 0.001) in ADC between patients with IOIP (1.04 ± 0.19, 1.12 ± 0.23 × 10-3 mm2/s) and orbital lymphoma (0.69 ± 0.10, 0.72 ± 0.11 × 10-3 mm2/s) for both observers respectively. Thresholds of ADC used for differentiating IOIP from orbital lymphoma were 0.84 and 0.86 × 10-3 mm2/s with AUC of (0.933 and 0.920), and accuracy of 89% and 90% for both observers respectively. The combined TBF and ADC used for differentiating IOIP from orbital lymphoma had AUC of (0.973 and 0.970) and accuracy of (91% and 89%) for both observers respectively. CONCLUSION TBF and ADC alone and in combination are useful for differentiating IOIP from orbital lymphoma.

Bag-of-features-based radiomics for differentiation of ocular adnexal lymphoma and idiopathic orbital inflammation from contrast-enhanced MRI. Eur Radiol 2020; 31:24-33. [PMID: 32789530 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-020-07110-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of bag-of-features (BOF)-based radiomics for differentiating ocular adnexal lymphoma (OAL) and idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) from contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI). METHODS Fifty-six patients with pathologically confirmed IOI (28 patients) and OAL (28 patients) were randomly divided into training (n = 42) and testing (n = 14) groups. One hundred sixty texture features extracted from the CE-MR image were encoded into the BOF representation with fewer features. The support vector machine (SVM) with a linear kernel was used as the classifier. Data augmented was performed by cropping orbital lesions in different directions to alleviate the over-fitting problem. Student's t test and the Holm-Bonferroni method were employed to compare the performance of different analysis methods. The chi-square test was used to compare the analysis with MRI and human radiological diagnosis. RESULTS In the independent testing group, the differentiation by the BOF features with augmentation achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.803 (95% CI: 0.725-0.880), which was significantly higher than that of the BOF features without augmentation and that of the texture features (p < 0.05). In addition, the same radiomic analysis with pre-contrast MRI obtained an AUC of 0.618 (95% CI: 0.560-0.677), which was significantly lower than that with CE-MRI. The diagnostic performance of the analysis with CE-MRI was significantly better than the radiology resident (p < 0.05) but had no significant difference with the experienced radiologist, even though there was less consistency between the radiomic analysis and the human visual diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS The BOF-based radiomics may be helpful for the differentiation between OAL and IOI. KEY POINTS • It is challenging to differentiate OAL from IOI due to the similar clinical and image features. • Radiomics has great potential for the noninvasive diagnosis of orbital diseases. • The BOF representation from patch to image may help the differentiation of OAL and IOI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the diagnostic accuracy of MRI intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) when characterizing orbital lesions, which is challenging due to a wide range of locations and histologic types. METHODS This IRB-approved prospective single-center study enrolled participants presenting with an orbital lesion undergoing a 3-T MRI prior to surgery from December 2015 to July 2019. An IVIM sequence with 15 b values ranging from 0 to 2000 s/mm2 was performed. Two neuroradiologists, blinded to clinical data, individually analyzed morphological MRIs. They drew one region of interest inside each orbital lesion, providing apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), true diffusion coefficient (D), perfusion fraction (f), and pseudodiffusion coefficient (D*) values. T test, Mann-Whitney U test, and receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were performed to discriminate between orbital lesions and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the IVIM parameters. RESULTS One hundred fifty-six participants (84 women and 72 men, mean age 54.4 ± 17.5 years) with 167 orbital lesions (98/167 [59%] benign lesions including 54 orbital inflammations and 69/167 [41%] malignant lesions including 32 lymphomas) were included in the study. ADC and D were significantly lower in malignant than in benign lesions: 0.8 × 10-3 mm2/s [0.45] versus 1.04 × 10-3 mm2/s [0.33], p < 0.001, and 0.75 × 10-3 mm2/s [0.40] versus 0.98 × 10-3 mm2/s [0.42], p < 0.001, respectively. D* was significantly higher in malignant lesions than in benign ones: 12.8 × 10-3 mm2/s [20.17] versus 7.52 × 10-3 mm2/s [7.57], p = 0.005. Area under curve was of 0.73, 0.74, 0.72, and 0.81 for ADC, D, D*, and a combination of D, f, and D*, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed that IVIM might help better characterize orbital lesions. KEY POINTS • Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) helps clinicians to assess patients with orbital lesions. • Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) helps clinicians to characterize orbital lymphoma versus orbital inflammation. • Management of patients becomes more appropriate.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the quantitative parameters derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI in differentiating lacrimal gland pleomorphic adenomas (LGPAs) from lacrimal gland malignant epithelial tumors (LGMETs). METHODS Seventy-seven cases with LG epithelial tumors confirmed by histopathology (47 LGPAs and 30 LGMETs) underwent DWI and DCE-MRI. The quantitative parameters including the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), the volume transfer constant (Ktrans), the efflux rate constant from the extravascular extracellular space (EES) to blood plasma (Kep), and the extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) were used to differentiate LGPAs from LGMETs. Independent-samples t test was conducted to compare these parameters. The diagnostic performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS Compared with LGPAs, LGMETs had significantly lower ADC value (1.090 ± 0.169mm2/s) (P < 0.001), higher Ktrans value (0.892 ± 0.517/min) (P = 0.001), and Kep value (1.300 ± 1.131/min) (P = 0.002). ADC as a diagnostic index showed a better diagnostic efficacy in predicting malignant tumors (AUC 0.914, sensitivity 90.0%, specificity 85.1%, and accuracy 87.0%) than Ktrans and Kep alone. The combination of ADC and Ktrans presented the optimal diagnostic performance for the differentiation (AUC 0.938, sensitivity 93.3%, specificity 87.2%, accuracy 89.6%). CONCLUSION The quantitative parameters including ADC, Ktrans, and Kep derived from DWI and DCE-MRI might be potential imaging biomarkers in differentiating LGPAs from LGMETs. The combination of ADC and Ktrans is superior to other quantitative parameters in distinguishing LGPAs from LGMETs.

Abstract
Background: Multi-parametric MRI used for preoperative assessment of orbital lesions does not routinely include DCE-MRI, since its accuracy in differential diagnosis of orbital mass is still under debate. Aim of this study is to characterize orbital lesions by multi-parametric MRI, analysing the incremental predictive value of DCE-MRI in differential diagnosis of orbital lesions.Methods: In this prospective triple-blind study, 43 consecutive patients with unilateral orbital lesion underwent conventional multimodal MRI and DCE-MRI before biopsy in a tertiary referral centre. Pre-operative MRI examination including conventional unenhanced MRI protocol, DWI with ADC maps, static CE 3D-T1 w and dynamic CE T1 w sequences, was performed within 1 week from surgery (anterior/lateral orbitotomy depending on location of the lesion, to carry out incisional/excisional biopsy).Results: Comparison between conventional T1 w/T2 w, DWI, CE 3D-T1 w and DCE-MRI groups showed a statistically significant difference in scores distribution (p < .001). Statistically significant difference was found between conventional T1 w/T2 w and DWI (p < .005), as well as between DWI and CE 3D-T1 w (p < .001). Conversely, no significant difference was found between CE 3D-T1 w and DCE (p < .005).Conclusions and Relevance: This study confirmed the positive effect of DWI and CE 3D-T1 w on orbital lesions diagnosis when added to conventional T1 w/T2 w sequences, whereas no substantial impact on diagnostic performance was observed with the further addition of DCE-MRI. DCE does not strongly influence diagnostic performance and inter-rater agreement in characterizing orbital lesions; therefore, it should be recommended in selected patients whose assessment of flow dynamics is particularly useful for management.Abbreviations: US = ultrasonography; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; CT = computed tomography; STIR = Short-TI Inversion Recovery; DWI = diffusion weighted imaging; DCE-MRI = dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI; SE = Spin-Echo; TSE = Turbo Spin-Echo; THRIVE = T1-weighted high resolution Isotropic Volume Examination (dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrafast spoiled gradient echo); ROI = regions of interest; IRR = inter-rater reliability; TIC = time-intensity curve.

Feasibility of using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for differentiating thymic carcinoma from thymic lymphoma based on semi-quantitative and quantitative models. Clin Radiol 2020; 75:560.e19-560.e25. [PMID: 32197918 DOI: 10.1016/j.crad.2020.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2019] [Accepted: 02/18/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the value of using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) derived parameters to differentiate thymic carcinoma and thymic lymphoma based on semi-quantitative and quantitative models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine pathologically confirmed anterior mediastinum tumours in 29 patients were enrolled in this retrospective study, including 15 thymic carcinoma and 14 lymphoma patients. All the patients underwent pre-treatment mediastinum DCE-MRI. Both semi-quantitative and quantitative parameters were calculated and the volume transfer constant Ktrans, the flux rate constant between extravascular extracellular space and plasma kep, the extravascular extracellular volume fraction ve were obtained based on a modified Tofts model. DCE-MRI derived parameters were compared between thymic carcinoma and thymic lymphoma groups. RESULTS Thymic carcinoma had significantly lower kep (p=0.040) and higher ve (p=0.018) than thymic lymphoma; however, there were no significant differences on Ktrans and semi-quantitative parameters between the two groups. ve had the highest area under the curve (cut-off value, 0.282; area under the curve, 0.748; sensitivity, 71.4%; specificity, 80%). The combination of kep and ve could increase the diagnostic performance significantly (area under the curve, 0.752; sensitivity, 57.1%; specificity, 93.3%). CONCLUSION DCE-MRI derived parameters may have value in the differentiating thymic carcinoma and thymic lymphoma.

Orbital metastases from neuroendocrine neoplasms: clinical implications and outcomes. Endocrine 2020; 67:485-493.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) may rarely metastasise to the orbit. Published data on epidemiology, incidence and preferred treatment is limited. We present the largest cohort of symptomatic and asymptomatic NEN patients with orbital metastases and data on epidemiological parameters, symptoms as well as diagnostic/treatment modalities used. METHODS We identified patients from our internal NEN database of patients who had also undergone Gallium68-DOTATATE PET (Ga68-DOTA). The diagnosis of orbital metastatic NEN was made on somatostatin receptor imaging and confirmed on a dedicated MRI of orbits. RESULTS We identified 27 patients of 994 patients evaluated with Ga68-DOTATATE PET imaging during their surveillance monitoring in our department; 15 female, average age at NEN diagnosis 53 years and orbital metastatic NEN diagnosis 59 years. The majority of NEN primaries originated from small bowel (18/27, 66.4%) or pancreas 4/27 (4/27, 14.8%). Hepatic with or without concomitant skeletal metastases were present in 23/27 (85%) of patients. Ocular symptoms and/or signs were evident in 11/27 (41%) of patients. 5/11 symptomatic patients underwent external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) resulting in complete symptoms resolution. The 5-year survival was estimated at 84.1%. CONCLUSIONS Orbital metastases of NEN have a relatively low prevalence, more commonly associated with small bowel primary. Extraocular muscles are primarily affected, irrespectively of liver disease burden. Survival does not seem to be affected. EBRT is an efficacious treatment modality for both symptom relief and tumour growth control. Administration of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy may occasionally induce temporary ocular symptoms, which resolve following treatment with a short course of steroids.

Abstract
Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has become an important tool for lesion characterization. Advanced techniques of DWI may be used to improve image quality. Purpose To evaluate multi-shot segmented DWI (rs-EPI, RESOLVE) and reduced field-of view DWI (rFOV-EPI, “zoomed” EPI) in patients with ocular melanoma and to compare image quality and diagnostic performance in differentiation of melanoma from retinal detachment. Material and Methods In this prospective and IRB-approved trial, we examined 26 patients using methods including conventional single-shot echo-planar DWI (ss-EPI), rs-EPI, and rFOV-EPI. Subjective image quality was compared using a four-point score and the maximum tumor length was measured in all sequences. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements were performed using a region-of interest analysis. Tumor delineation and differences in ADC values between melanomas and retinal detachments were compared. Results Diffusion restriction was markedly reduced in melanomas in all applied image techniques. Subjective image quality was significantly higher for rFOV-EPI (score = 3.5 ± 0.5) compared with rs-EPI (score = 3.3 ± 0.6) and ss-EPI (score = 2.5 ± 0.9). Regarding tumor diameter measurements, rFOV-EPI showed the best agreement compared with high-resolution conventional sequences. ADC measurements of the tumor and retinal detachment differed significantly ( P < 0.001) with the rFOV-EPI performing best (sensitivities and specificities compared with T1-weighted ss-EPI 61%/82%; rFOV-EPI 86%/92%; rs-EPI 79%/92%, respectively). Conclusion rFOV-EPI showed improved image quality compared with ss-EPI and rs-EPI, the most accurate tumor delineation and the best differentiation from retinal detachments in our patients.

Abstract
The orbit can harbor mass lesions of various cellular origins. The symptoms vary considerably according to the nature, location, and extent of the disease and include common signs of proptosis, globe displacement, eyelid swelling, and restricted eye motility. Although radiological imaging tools are improving, with each imaging pattern having its own differential diagnosis, orbital mass lesions often pose a diagnostic challenge. To provide an accurate, specific, and sufficiently comprehensive diagnosis, to optimize clinical management and estimate prognosis, pathological examination of a tissue biopsy is essential. Diagnostic orbital tissue biopsy is obtained through a minimally invasive orbitotomy procedure or, in selected cases, fine needle aspiration. The outcome of successful biopsy, however, is centered on its representativeness, processing, and interpretation. Owing to the often small volume of the orbital biopsies, artifacts in the specimens should be limited by careful peroperative tissue handling, fixation, processing, and storage. Some orbital lesions can be characterized on the basis of cytomorphology alone, whereas others need ancillary molecular testing to render the most reliable diagnosis of therapeutic, prognostic, and predictive value. Herein, we review the diagnostic algorithm for orbital mass lesions, using clinical, radiological, and pathological recommendations, and discuss the methods and potential pitfalls in orbital tissue biopsy acquisition and analysis.

Abstract
To evaluate the performance of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) for differentiating orbital malignant from benign tumors, and to assess the correlation between IVIM-DWI parameters and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) parameters.Twenty-seven patients (17 benign and 10 malignant) with orbital tumors underwent 3.0T MRI examination for pre-treatment evaluation, including IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI. IVIM-DWI parameters (tissue diffusivity, D; pseudo-diffusion coefficient, D; and perfusion fraction, f) were quantified using bi-exponential fitting model. DCE-MRI parameters (K, the volume transfer constant between the plasma and the extracellular extravascular space [EES]; Ve, the volume fraction of the EES, and Kep, the rate constant from EES to blood plasma) were quantified using modified Tofts model. Independent-sample t test, receiver operating characteristic curve analyses and Spearman correlation test were used for statistical analyses.Malignant orbital tumors showed lower D (P <.001) and higher D (P = .002) than benign tumors. Setting a D value of 0.966 × 10 mm/s as the cut-off value, a diagnostic performance (AUC, 0.888; sensitivity, 100%; specificity, 82.35%) could be obtained for diagnosing malignant tumors. While setting a D value of 42.371 × 10 mm/s as cut-off value, a diagnostic performance could be achieved (AUC, 0.847; sensitivity, 90.00%; specificity, 70.59%). Poor or moderated correlations were found between IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI parameters (D and Kep, r = 0.427, P = .027; D and Ve, r = 0.626, P <.001).IVIM-DWI is potentially useful for differentiating orbital malignant from benign tumors. Poor or moderate correlations exist between IVIM-DWI and DCE-MRI parameters. IVIM-DWI may be a useful adjunctive perfusion technique for the differential diagnosis of orbital tumors.

Abstract
To evaluate the relative contribution of different Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences for the extraction of radiomics features in a cohort of patients with lacrimal gland tumors. This prospective study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and signed informed consent was obtained from all participants. From December 2015 to April 2017, 37 patients with lacrimal gland lesions underwent MRI before surgery, including axial T1-WI, axial Diffusion-WI, coronal DIXON-T2-WI and coronal post-contrast DIXON-T1-WI. Two readers manually delineated both lacrimal glands to assess inter-observer reproducibility, and one reader performed two successive delineations to assess intra-observer reproducibility. Radiomics features were extracted using an in-house software to calculate 85 features per region-of-interest (510 features/patient). Reproducible features were defined as features presenting both an intra-class correlation coefficient ≥0.8 and a concordance correlation coefficient ≥0.9 across combinations of the three delineations. Among these features, the ones yielding redundant information were identified as clusters using hierarchical clustering based on the Spearman correlation coefficient. All the MR sequences provided reproducible radiomics features (range 14(16%)−37(44%)) and non-redundant clusters (range 5–14). The highest numbers of features and clusters were provided by the water and in-phase DIXON T2-WI and water and in-phase post-contrast DIXON T1-WI (37, 26, 26 and 26 features and 14,12, 9 and 11 clusters, respectively). A total of 145 reproducible features grouped into 51 independent clusters was provided by pooling all the MR sequences. All MRI sequences provided reproducible radiomics features yielding independent information which could potentially serve as biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has been used for assessing orbital lymphoproliferative disorders (OLPDs). However, only the mean values of quantitative parameters were obtained in previous studies and tumor heterogeneity was ignored. PURPOSE To assess the value of DCE-MRI derived histogram parameters in differentiating malignant from benign OLPDs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight OLPDs patients (25 malignant and 23 benign) who had undergone DCE-MRI for pre-treatment evaluation were retrospectively included. Histogram parameters of Ktrans, kep, and ve were calculated and compared between two groups using the independent sample's t-test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to determine the diagnostic value of each significant parameter. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent predictors of malignant OLPDs. RESULTS Tenth kep, mean kep, median kep, and 90th kep were significantly higher in the malignant OLPD group than in the benign OLPD group. Tenth ve was significantly lower in the malignant OLPD group than in the benign OLPD group. Ninetieth kep was the only independent predictor of malignant OLPDs ( P = 0.019), with an area under ROC curve of 0.828, a sensitivity of 92.00%, and a specificity of 78.26% at a cut-off value of 1.057 min-1. CONCLUSION Histogram analysis of DCE-MRI derived parameters may help to differentiate malignant from benign OLPDs. The 90th kep hold the potential as an independent predictor for malignant OLPDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma (MCS) of the orbit is a rare and aggressive form of chondrosarcoma. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively identify the imaging features of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma of the orbit. METHODS: This study included five patients with histologically confirmed MCS of the orbit who had undergone either CT, MRI, or both. Images were evaluated for the following: location, size, margin, CT density and presence or absence of calcification and/or ossification, MRI findings including dynamic contrast-enhancement and time-intensity curves. RESULTS: CT was performed in four of the five patients, and all four (100%) demonstrated calcification and ossification of the mass. MRI was performed in all five patients. In two patients (40%), the mass demonstrated areas of hyperintensity on T1 weighted images. CONCLUSION: The presence of a well-defined, orbital mass with calcification and ossification on CT and, marked heterogenous enhancement and a rapid-washout pattern on dynamic MRI indicate a high probability of MCS of the orbit. In addition, MCS of the orbit can demonstrate areas of hyperintensity on T1 weighted images, representing bone marrow fat tissue of ossification. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: MCS of the orbit is a highly malignant tumor, and early diagnosis by imaging is important. Radiologists should be aware of the imaging features of MCS of the orbit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional MR imaging has high sensitivity but limited specificity in differentiating various vertebral lesions. We aimed to assess the ability of multiparametric MR imaging in differentiating spinal vertebral lesions and to develop statistical models for predicting the probability of malignant vertebral lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty-six consecutive patients underwent multiparametric MRI (conventional MR imaging, diffusion-weighted MR imaging, and in-phase/opposed-phase imaging) for vertebral lesions. Vertebral lesions were divided into 3 subgroups: infectious, noninfectious benign, and malignant. The cutoffs for apparent diffusion coefficient (expressed as 10-3 mm2/s) and signal intensity ratio values were calculated, and 3 predictive models were established for differentiating these subgroups. RESULTS Of the lesions of the 126 patients, 62 were infectious, 22 were noninfectious benign, and 42 were malignant. The mean ADC was 1.23 ± 0.16 for infectious, 1.41 ± 0.31 for noninfectious benign, and 1.01 ± 0.22 mm2/s for malignant lesions. The mean signal intensity ratio was 0.80 ± 0.13 for infectious, 0.75 ± 0.19 for noninfectious benign, and 0.98 ± 0.11 for the malignant group. The combination of ADC and signal intensity ratio showed strong discriminatory ability to differentiate lesion type. We found an area under the curve of 0.92 for the predictive model in differentiating infectious from malignant lesions and an area under the curve of 0.91 for the predictive model in differentiating noninfectious benign from malignant lesions. On the basis of the mean ADC and signal intensity ratio, we established automated statistical models that would be helpful in differentiating vertebral lesions. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that multiparametric MRI differentiates various vertebral lesions, and we established prediction models for the same.

Repeatability of apparent diffusion coefficient and intravoxel incoherent motion parameters at 3.0 Tesla in orbital lesions. Eur Radiol 2017; 27:5094-5103. [PMID: 28677061 PMCID: PMC5674133 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-017-4933-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2017] [Revised: 06/06/2017] [Accepted: 06/07/2017] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate repeatability of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) parameters in the orbit. METHODS From December 2015 to March 2016, 22 patients were scanned twice using an IVIM sequence with 15b values (0-2,000 s/mm2) at 3.0T. Two readers independently delineated regions of interest in an orbital mass and in different intra-orbital and extra-orbital structures. Short-term test-retest repeatability and inter-observer agreement were assessed using the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), the coefficient of variation (CV) and Bland-Altman limits of agreements (BA-LA). RESULTS Test-retest repeatability of IVIM parameters in the orbital mass was satisfactory for ADC and D (mean CV 12% and 14%, ICC 95% and 93%), poor for f and D*(means CV 43% and 110%, ICC 90% and 65%). Inter-observer repeatability agreement was almost perfect in the orbital mass for all the IVIM parameters (ICC = 95%, 93%, 94% and 90% for ADC, D, f and D*, respectively). CONCLUSIONS IVIM appeared to be a robust tool to measure D in orbital lesions with good repeatability, but this approach showed a poor repeatability of f and D*. KEY POINTS • IVIM technique is feasible in the orbit. • IVIM has a good-acceptable repeatability of D (CV range 12-25 %). • IVIM interobserver repeatability agreement is excellent (ICC range 90-95 %). • f or D* provide higher test-retest and interobserver variabilities.

Readout-segmented echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging in the assessment of orbital tumors: comparison with conventional single-shot echo-planar imaging in image quality and diagnostic performance.

Abstract
Background Readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (RS-EPI) could improve the imaging quality of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in various organs. However, whether it could improve the imaging quality and diagnostic performance for the patients with orbital tumors is still unknown. Purpose To compare the image quality and diagnostic performance of RS-EPI DWI with that of conventional single-shot EPI (SS-EPI) DWI in patients with orbital tumors. Material and Methods SS-EPI and RS-EPI DW images of 32 patients with pathologically diagnosed orbital tumors were retrospectively analyzed. Qualitative imaging parameters (imaging sharpness, geometric distortion, ghosting artifacts, and overall imaging quality) and quantitative imaging parameters (apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC], signal-to-noise ratio [SNR], contrast, and contrast-to-noise ratio [CNR]) were assessed by two independent radiologists, and compared between SS-EPI and RS-EPI DWI. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to determine the diagnostic value of ADC in differentiating malignant from benign orbital tumors. Results RS-EPI DW imaging produced less geometric distortion and ghosting artifacts, and better imaging sharpness and overall imaging quality than SS-EPI DWI (for all, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, RS-EPI DWI produced significantly lower SNR ( P < 0.001) and ADC ( P < 0.001), and higher contrast ( P < 0.001) than SS-EPI DWI, while producing no difference in CNR ( P = 0.137). There was no significant difference on the diagnostic performance between SS-EPI and RS-EPI DWI, when using ADC as the differentiating index ( P = 0.529). Conclusion Compared with SS-EPI, RS-EPI DWI provided significantly better imaging quality and comparable diagnostic performance in differentiating malignant from benign orbital tumors.

Combined diffusion-weighted imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI for differentiating radiologically indeterminate malignant from benign orbital masses. Clin Radiol 2017; 72:903.e9-903.e15.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the performance of the combination of diffusion-weighted (DW) and dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for differentiating radiologically indeterminate malignant from benign orbital masses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-five patients with orbital masses (36 benign and 29 malignant) underwent DW and DCE MRI examinations for pre-treatment evaluation. The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was derived from DW imaging data using the mono-exponential model. The volume transfer constant (Ktrans), the flux rate constant between the extravascular extracellular space and the plasma (Kep), and the extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) were calculated using modified Tofts model. Differences in quantitative metrics were tested using independent-samples t test. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to determine and compare the diagnostic ability of each significant metric. RESULTS The malignant group demonstrated significantly lower ADC (0.711±0.260 versus 1.187±0.389, p<0.001) and higher Kep values (1.265±0.637 versus 0.871±0.610, p=0.008) than the benign group. Optimal diagnostic performance (area under the ROC curve [AUC], 0.941; sensitivity, 0.966; specificity, 0.917) could be achieved using combined ADC and Kep values as the diagnostic index. The diagnostic performance of the combination of ADC and Kep was significantly better than Kep alone (p=0.006). Compared with ADC alone, combined ADC and Kep values also showed higher AUC (0.941 versus 0.898), although the difference did not reach statistical significance (p=0.220). CONCLUSION Kep and ADC could help to differentiate radiologically indeterminate malignant from benign orbital masses. The combination of DW and DCE MRI might improve the differentiating performance.
