ObjectivesTo investigate possible associations between diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) parameters derived from a non-Gaussian model fitting and Ki-67 status in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).MethodsTwenty-four patients with newly diagnosed OSCC were prospectively recruited. DWI was performed using sixb-values (0–2500). The diffusion-related parameters of kurtosis value (K), kurtosis-corrected diffusion coefficient (DK), diffusion heterogeneity (α), distributed diffusion coefficient (DDC), slow diffusion coefficient (Dslow), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were calculated from four diffusion fitting models. Ki-67 status was categorized as low (Ki-67 percentage score < 20%), middle (20–50%), or high (> 50%). Kruskal–Wallis tests were performed between each non-Gaussian diffusion model parameters and Ki-67 grade.ResultsThe Kruskal–Wallis tests revealed that multiple parameters (K, ADC, Dk, DDC and Dslow) showed statistically significant differences between the three levels of Ki-67 status (K:p= 0.020, ADC:p= 0.012, Dk:p= 0.027, DDC:p= 0.007 and Dslow:p= 0.026).ConclusionsSeveral non-Gaussian diffusion model parameters and ADC values were significantly associated with Ki-67 status and have potential as promising prognostic biomarkers in patients with OSCC.
