Background & ObjectiveTo evaluate the application value of dynamic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the clinical diagnosis in hospital based on the fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm and conduct its cost-benefit analysis in practice.MethodsThis study was conducted from October 11th 2020 to November 25, 2020. Eighteen patients with lung cancer confirmed by pathology were collected and examined by DCE-MRI one day before and one month after surgery using a fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm. And then, taking Guang'an District People's Hospital as an example, the present paper conducts the cost-benefit analysis with the utilization of net present value (NPV).ResultsAfter 1-month review, eleven patients with effective treatment, four numerical Ktrans, Kep, Ve, Vp compared with preoperative decreased, which Ktrans, Kep, the change of the Ve was statistically significant (P < 0.05), the Vp of decline has no statistical significance (P > 0.05), the experimental and ineffective group after an operation, compared to four numerical Ktrans and Vp difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), the corresponding AUC (area under the curve) to 1 and 0.818, the sensitivity of 100% and 85.7%, a specific degree of 100% and 72.7%. The NPV analysis results showed that the hospital could achieve profit and loss balance in the third year after purchasing MRI equipment and then gradually obtain positive cash inflow.ConclusionThe application of MRI in the Clinical Diagnosis helps hospital promote the therapeutic effect, thus having great practical value, and also contributes to increasing benefits in the long run.Copyright: © Pakistan Journal of Medical Sciences.
