摘要
目的探讨腰椎内固定术后T2- mapping成像定量评估邻近节段椎间盘退 变的可行性和可重复性。方法 24例患者 于腰椎内固定术前1周内及术后6-8周分 别行腰椎MR T2-mapping成像检查,并测 量邻近节段椎间盘髓核的T2值。比较同一 观察者不同时间和不同观察者之间测量结 果的可重复性。结果 24例患者均成功测 量邻近节段椎间盘髓核的T2值。内固定近 侧邻近椎间盘髓核术前和术后的T2值分别 为93.2±22.3ms和95.5±20.1ms,差异无 统计学意义(t=-1.00,P>0.05)。远侧邻 近椎间盘髓核术前和术后的T2值分别为 87.9±27.7ms和83.7±23.0ms,差异无统 计学意义(t=1.77,P>0.05)。同一观察 者或不同观察者间的组内相关系数(ICC) 为0.85-0.94(P<0.01)。结论 腰椎内固 定术后T2-mapping成像测量T2值是可行 的,且可重复性高,有助于定量评估邻近 节段椎间盘的退变情况。
Objective To explore the feasibility and reproducibility of MR T2- mapping technique in evaluating intervertebral disk degeneration of adjacent segment after internal fixation surgery. Methods Within 1 week preoperatively and 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively,24 patients were underwent T2-mapping examination. The T2 value of nucleus pulposus was measured by two senior MRI radiologists. To assess the reproducibility of this evaluation, inter-and intra-observer statistics were performed. Results The T2 values of 24 patients were measured successfully. The preand postoperative T2 values of the adjacent proximate disks were 93.2±22.3ms and 95.5±20.1ms respectively (t=-1.00,P>0.05),and the pre- and postoperative T2 values of the adjacent distal disks were 87.9±27.7ms and 83.7±23.0ms(t=1.77,P>0.05). The inter- and intra-observer analysis yielded intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) for measures in a range from 0.85 to 0.94(P<0.01). Conclusion MR T2-mapping examination after internal fixation surgery is feasible, it will be a potential quantitative method in evaluating intervertebral disk degeneration of adjacent segment for its excellent reproducibility.

前言
内固定术已经成为众多脊柱疾患的“标准”治疗方法,但也可导 致或加速邻近节段退变[1]。邻近节段退变是严重影响腰椎手术疗效的 潜在危险因素,需要早期明确诊断以进行干预。影像学诊断方法在很 大程度上决定了能否早期诊断。MRI检查对椎间盘退变性病变具有较高 准确性[2],但常规T2WI是非定量的方法,容易受到主观偏差的影响, 而新的定量MR方法,包括T2-mapping成像、T1ρ成像[3]、弥散加权成 像[4]等,正越来越受到临床的重视。T2-mapping成像是最为常用的定 量方法之一,可以通过测量T2值(即T2弛豫时间值)定量评估早期椎间 盘退变[5-9],在内固定术后监测、评价邻近椎间盘退变等方面有潜在价 值。
