Abstract:
Background and purpose BT-RADS is a new framework system for reporting the treatment response of brain tumors. The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic performance and reliability of the BT-RADS in predicting the recurrence of high-grade glioma (HGG). Materials and Methods This prospective single-center study recruited 81 cases with previously operated and pathologically proven HGG. The patients underwent baseline and follow-up contrast-enhanced MRI (CE-MRI). Two neuro-radiologists with ten years-experience in neuroimaging independently analyzed and interpreted the MRI images and assigned a BT-RADS category for each case. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the BT-RADS for detecting recurrent HGG, the reference standard was the histopathology for BT-RADS categories 3 and 4, while neurological clinical examination and clinical follow up were used as a reference for BT-RADS categories 1 and 2. The inter-reader agreement was assessed using the Cohen's Kappa test. Results The study included 81 cases of HGG, of which 42 were recurrent and 39 were non-recurrent HGG cases based on the reference test. BT-RADS 3B was the best cutoff for predicting recurrent HGG with a sensitivity of 90.5 % to 92.9 %, specificity of 76.9 % to 84.6 %, and accuracy of 83.9 % to 88.9 %, based on both readers. The BT-RADS showed a substantial inter-reader agreement with a K of 0.710 (P = 0.001). Conclusions The BT-RADS is a valid and reliable framework for predicting recurrent HGG. Moreover, BT-RADS can help neuro-oncologists make clinical decisions that can potentially improve the patient's outcome.
