abstract = {Accurate detection of lymph node (LN) metastases in
prostate cancer (PCa) is a challenging but crucial step for
disease staging. Ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide
(USPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enables
distinction between healthy LNs and nodes suspicious for
harboring metastases. When combined with MRI at an
ultra-high magnetic field, an unprecedented spatial
resolution can be exploited to visualize these LNs.The aim
of this study was to explore USPIO-enhanced MRI at 7 T in
comparison to 3 T for the detection of small suspicious LNs
in the same cohort of patients with PCa.Twenty PCa patients
with high-risk primary or recurrent disease were referred to
our hospital for an investigational USPIO-enhanced 3 T MRI
examination with ferumoxtran-10. With consent, they
underwent a 7 T MRI on the same day. Three-dimensional
anatomical and T2*-weighted images of both examinations were
evaluated blinded, with an interval, by 2 readers who
annotated LNs suspicious for metastases. Number, size, and
level of suspicion (LoS) of LNs were paired within patients
and compared between field strengths.At 7 T, both readers
annotated significantly more LNs compared with 3 T (474 and
284 vs 344 and 162), with 116 suspicious LNs on 7 T (range,
1-34 per patient) and 79 suspicious LNs on 3 T (range, 1-14
per patient) in 17 patients. For suspicious LNs, the median
short axis diameter was 2.6 mm on 7 T (1.3-9.5 mm) and 2.8
mm for 3 T (1.7-10.4 mm, P = 0.05), with large overlap in
short axis of annotated LNs between LoS groups. At 7 T,
significantly more suspicious LNs had a short axis <2.5 mm
compared with 3 T $(44\%$ vs $27\%).$ Magnetic resonance
imaging at 7 T provided better image quality and structure
delineation and a higher LoS score for suspicious nodes.In
the same cohort of patients with PCa, more and more small
LNs were detected on 7 T USPIO-enhanced MRI compared with 3
T MRI. Suspicious LNs are generally very small, and
increased nodal size was not a good indication of suspicion
for the presence of metastases. The high spatial resolution
of USPIO-enhanced MRI at 7 T improves structure delineation
and the visibility of very small suspicious LNs, potentially
expanding the in vivo detection limits of pelvic LN
metastases in PCa patients.},
