Micro-enema immediately prior to prostate MRI: effects on rectal gas, image quality and PI-QUAL score

Our aim was to determine whether the administration of a micro-enema immediately prior to prostate MRI is associated with a reduction in rectal gas, gas related artifacts and an improvement in image quality and PI-QUAL score. This retrospective analysis enrolled 171 patients who underwent multiparam...

description Our aim was to determine whether the administration of a micro-enema immediately prior to prostate MRI is associated with a reduction in rectal gas, gas related artifacts and an improvement in image quality and PI-QUAL score. This retrospective analysis enrolled 171 patients who underwent multiparametric 3T prostate MRI at our institution between January 2021 and September 2022. 86 patients received a micro-enema, and a further 85 patients did not. Two fellowship trained abdominal radiologists were blinded and independently reviewed each prostate MRI, recording scores on a dedicated scoring sheet. The quality of T2 weighted (T2W), diffusion weighted (DWI), and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE) images were assessed according to standardised scales supported in the literature. In addition, gas related artifacts and rectal gas level were examined. An independent-samples Mann-Whitney U and t-test were performed, comparing both the median and mean score between micro-enema and no micro-enema groups for each reader. Spearman's correlation was used to determine the strength of relationship between variables. A quadratic weighted Cohen's Kappa and percent agreement were used to assess inter-observer agreement. Image quality was improved in those who received the micro-enema compared to those who did not according to the visual grading scale on the DWI sequence for both readers (reader 1: median 4 vs. 4, p

Image quality was improved in those who received the micro-enema compared to those who did not according to the visual grading scale on the DWI sequence for both readers (reader 1: median 4 vs. 4, p < 0.001, mean 4.27 vs. 3.92, p < 0.001; reader 2: median 5 vs. 4, p < 0.001, mean 4.74 vs. 4.14, p < 0.001). PI-QUAL score was significantly improved in the micro-enema group for reader 2 only (reader 1: median 4 vs. 4, p = 0.25, mean 3.99 vs. 4.08, p = 0.21; reader 2: median 5 vs. 5, p = 0.01, mean 4.95 vs. 4.78, p = 0.01). Visual grading score for both the T2W and DCE images was not significantly different. Rectal gas level was lower in patients who received the micro-enema for both readers (reader 1: median 2 vs. 4, p < 0.001, mean 2.12 vs. 3.60, p < 0.001; reader 2: median 1 vs. 2, p < 0.001, mean 1.37 vs. 2.48, p < 0.001), correlating with a lower score for gas-related artifacts (reader 1: median 1 vs. 2, p < 0.001, mean 1.50 vs. 1.92, p < 0.001; reader 2: median 1 vs. 1, p < 0.001, mean 1.16 vs. 1.71, p < 0.001) in this group. Correlation between rectal gas level and gas-related artifacts on DWI regardless of whether a micro-enema was given was strong (r = 0.71, p < 0.001). Correlation was moderate to strong between rectal gas level and image quality on DWI (r = -0.63, p < 0.001). There was only 1 (1.2%) borderline diagnostic or non-diagnostic DWI sequence in those who received the micro-enema, compared to 9 (10.6%) in those who did not (p = 0.009). Interobserver agreement was moderate for image quality on DWI, gas related artifacts and rectal gas level (weighted kappa values of 0.52, 0.49 and 0.53 respectively). The administration of a micro-enema immediately prior to prostate MRI is associated with a significant improvement in image quality on the DWI sequence compared to no bowel preparation. This is mediated through a reduction in rectal gas and gas related artifacts. Improvements in PI-QUAL score was mixed between readers.]]></description><identifier>ISSN: 2366-0058</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 2366-0058</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04617-w</identifier><identifier>PMID: 39373769</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States</publisher><ispartof>Abdominal radiology (New York), 2024-10</ispartof><rights>2024.
