Journal Article
Diagnostic performance of CT and MRI on the detection of symptomatic intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula: a meta-analysis with indirect comparison
2016
Overview
Introduction
This study aims to review the diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in symptomatic dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).
Methods
EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were searched until April 2015 for studies which compared CT, MRI, or both with angiography for the detection of DAVF. The diagnostic performances of MRI and CT were indirectly compared using modality as a covariate in the analysis.
Results
Thirteen studies met our inclusion criteria. MRI had a sensitivity of 0.90 (95 % confidence interval (CI) = 0.83–0.94) and specificity of 0.94 (95 % CI = 0.90–0.96). CT had a sensitivity of 0.80 (95 % CI = 0.62–0.90) and specificity of 0.87 (95 % CI = 0.74–0.94). MRI showed better diagnostic performance than CT (
p
= 0.02). Contrast medium use and time-resolved MR angiography did not improve MRI diagnostic performance (
p
= 0.31 and 0.44, respectively).
Conclusion
Both CT and MRI had good diagnostic performance. MRI was better than CT on the detection of symptomatic intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula in the indirect comparison.
