Purpose

To evaluate noise level and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) with various kVp-mAs pairs producing the same computed tomography dose index (CTDI) value. The 80 kVp and new 70-kVp settings were compared.

Materials and methods

The noise was measured in 10 ovoid water phantoms with different diameters from 10 cm to 28 cm. Contrast was obtained from CTs of iodine-filled tubes. Spiral acquisition protocols at 70 kVp and 80 kVp, with the same CTDI, were applied. In the clinical study, two matched groups, each of 21 paediatric patients, underwent 70-kVp or 80-kVp ECG-gated iodinated-enhanced sequential CT.

Results

Noise was significantly higher with 70 kVp than 80-kVp settings for all phantom sizes. Estimated CNR with phantoms was higher at 70 kVp than 80 kVp, and the difference decreased from 17 % to 3 % as phantom size increased. The mean CNR in paediatric patients was 15.2 at 70 kVp and 14.3 at 80 kVp (ns). The CNR difference was significantly larger in the small-child subgroup.

Conclusion

Noise level is slightly higher at the 70-kVp than the 80-kVp setting, but the CNR is higher, particularly for small children. Therefore, 70 kVp may be appropriate for contrast-enhanced CT examinations and 80 kVp for non-enhanced CT in small children.

Key Points

? 70-kVp settings provide a slightly higher noise level compared to 80-kVp settings. ? The CNR is higher with 70-kVp than with 80-kVp settings. ? Without contrast, 80-kVp settings may be preferable over 70-kVp settings.  相似文献

Purpose

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the image quality of 70 kVp and 25 mL contrast medium (CM) volume for head and neck computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and assess the diagnostic accuracy for arterial stenosis.

Methods

Fifty patients were prospectively divided into two groups randomly: group A (n = 25), 70 kVp with 25 mL CM, and group B (n = 25), 100 kVp with 40 mL CM. CT attenuation values, noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the shoulder, neck, and cerebral arteries were measured for objective image quality. Subjective image quality of the shoulder and cerebral arteries was also evaluated. For patients undergoing digital subtracted angiography (DSA), diagnostic accuracy of CTA was assessed with DSA as reference standard.

Results

The SNRs of the shoulder, neck, and cerebral arteries in group A were higher than those in group B (P < 0.05). The CNRs of the shoulder and neck arteries in group A were higher than those in group B (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in subjective image quality of arteries between group A and group B (P > 0.05). The accuracy was noted as 94.0% (156/166) in group A and 97.1% (134/138) in group B for ≥?50% stenosis. The accuracy of intracranial arterial stenosis was lower than that of extracranial arterial stenosis in group A. The radiation dose of group A was significantly decreased by 56% than that of group B.

Conclusion

Head and neck CTA at 70 kVp using 25 mL CM can obtain diagnostic image quality with lower radiation dose while maintaining high accuracy in detecting the arterial stenosis compared with the 100-kVp and 40-mL CM.

Introduction

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a contrast medium (CM), radiation dose reduction protocol for cerebral bone-subtraction CT angiography (BSCTA) using 80-kVp and sinogram-affirmed iterative reconstruction (SAFIRE).

Methods

Seventy-five patients who had undergone BSCTA under the 120- (n = 37) or the 80-kVp protocol (n = 38) were included. CM was 370 mgI/kg for the 120-kVp and 296 mgI/kg for the 80-kVp protocol; the 120- and the 80-kVp images were reconstructed with filtered back-projection (FBP) and SAFIRE, respectively. We compared effective dose (ED), CT attenuation, image noise, and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of two protocols. We also scored arterial contrast, sharpness, depiction of small arteries, visibility near skull base/clip, and overall image quality on a four-point scale.

Results

ED was 62% lower at 80- than 120-kVp (0.59 ± 0.06 vs 1.56 ± 0.13 mSv, p < 0.01). CT attenuation of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) was significantly higher on 80- than 120-kVp (ICA: 557.4 ± 105.7 vs 370.0 ± 59.3 Hounsfield units (HU), p < 0.01; MCA: 551.9 ± 107.9 vs 364.6 ± 62.2 HU, p < 0.01). The CNR was also significantly higher on 80- than 120-kVp (ICA: 46.2 ± 10.2 vs 36.9 ± 7.6, p < 0.01; MCA: 45.7 ± 10.0 vs 35.7 ± 9.0, p < 0.01). Visibility near skull base and clip was not significantly different (p = 0.45). The other subjective scores were higher with the 80- than the 120-kVp protocol (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The 80-kVp acquisition with SAFIRE yields better image quality for BSCTA and substantial reduction in the radiation and CM dose compared to the 120-kVp with FBP protocol.

Objectives

To evaluate CT aortography at reduced tube voltage and contrast medium dose while maintaining image quality through iterative reconstruction (IR).

Methods

The Institutional Review Board approved a prospective study of 48 patients who underwent follow-up CT aortography. We performed intra-individual comparisons of arterial phase images using 120 kVp (standard tube voltage) and 80 kVp (low tube voltage). Low-tube-voltage imaging was performed on a 320-detector CT with IR following injection of 40 ml of contrast medium. We assessed aortic attenuation, aortic attenuation gradient, image noise, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), and figure of merit (FOM) of image noise and CNR. Two readers assessed images for diagnostic quality, image noise, and artefacts.

Results

The low-tube-voltage protocol showed 23–31 % higher mean aortic attenuation and image noise (both P?<?0.01) than the standard-tube-voltage protocol, but no significant difference in the CNR and aortic attenuation gradients. The low-tube-voltage protocol showed a 48 % reduction in CTDIvol and an 80 % increase in FOM of CNR. Subjective diagnostic quality was similar for both protocols, but low-tube-voltage images showed greater image noise (P?=?0.01).

Conclusions

Application of IR to an 80-kVp CT aortography protocol allows radiation dose and contrast medium reduction without affecting image quality.

Key Points

? CT aortography at 80 kVp allows a significant reduction in radiation dose. ? Addition of iterative reconstruction reduces image noise and improves image quality. ? The injected contrast medium dose can be substantially reduced at 80 kVp. ? Aortic enhancement is uniform despite a reduced volume of contrast medium.  相似文献

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of iodine concentration on diagnostic efficacy in multi-detector-row computed tomography (MDCT) angiography of the abdominal aorta and abdominal arteries.

Methods

IRB approval and informed consent were obtained. In this double-blind trial, patients were randomised to undergo MDCT angiography of the abdominal arteries during administration of iobitridol (350 mgI/ml) or iomeprol (400 mgI/ml). Each centre applied its own technique for delivery of contrast medium, regardless of iodine concentration. Diagnostic efficacy, image quality, visualisation of the arterial wall and arterial enhancement were evaluated. A total of 153 patients received iobitridol and 154 received iomeprol.

Results

The ability to reach a diagnosis was “satisfactory” to “totally satisfactory” in 152 (99.3%) and 153 (99.4%) patients respectively. Image quality was rated as being “good” to “excellent” in 94.7 and 94.8% segments respectively. Similar results were observed for image quality of arterial walls (84.3 vs. 83.2%). The mean relative changes in arterial enhancement between baseline and arterial phase images showed no statistically significant differences.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated the non-inferiority of the 350 versus 400 mgI/ml iodine concentration, in terms of diagnostic efficacy, in abdominal MDCT angiography. It also confirmed the high robustness and reliability of this technique across multi-national practices.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the clinical application of a full model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) algorithm in the ultra-low-dose paranasal sinus CT imaging of children.

Materials and methods

In the first phase, 16 low-dose CT dacryocystography (DCG) (80 kV/64 mAs) scans were reconstructed with MBIR and filtered back-projection (FBP) to demonstrate noise reduction capability of MBIR. MBIR images were also compared with the images of 21 standard-dose paranasal sinus patients reconstructed with adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) algorithm. In the second phase, 14 pediatric tumors patients (images with ASIR in the initial scan) who came for follow-up paranasal sinus CT scan were prospectively enrolled with reduced radiation and MBIR algorithm. In both study phases, image noise and the contrast noise ratio (CNR) of sphenoid was measured; and subjective image quality was evaluated. CTDIvol and DLP were recorded, and effective dose calculated.

Results

The CTDIvol value for the DCG group was 63.9% lower than the standard-dose sinus group (1.09 ± 0.01 mGy vs. 3.02 ± 0.35 mGy). Compared with the ASIR reconstruction in the standard-dose sinus patient group, images with MBIR in the ultra-low-dose DCG group had 39.9% lower noise (9.5 ± 0.8HU vs. 15.8 ± 3.3HU) and 63.6% higher CNR (14.4 ± 4.7 vs. 8.8 ± 2.2), with similar subjective image quality score. For the tumor patients, 65.5% dose reduction was achieved. Subjective quality scores were similar between the initial and follow-up scans. Objective noise was significantly lower for the follow-up group.

Conclusion

MBIR provided equal or better image quality with significantly reduced radiation dose in paranasal sinus CT imaging of pediatric patients compared with standard-dose CT with ASIR algorithm.

The objective of this retrospective study was to assess image quality with pulmonary CT angiography (CTA) using 80 kVp and to find anthropomorphic parameters other than body weight (BW) to serve as selection criteria for low-dose CTA. Attenuation in the pulmonary arteries, anteroposterior and lateral diameters, cross-sectional area and soft-tissue thickness of the chest were measured in 100 consecutive patients weighing less than 100 kg with 80 kVp pulmonary CTA. Body surface area (BSA) and contrast-to-noise ratios (CNR) were calculated. Three radiologists analyzed arterial enhancement, noise, and image quality. Image parameters between patients grouped by BW (group 1: 0–50 kg; groups 2–6: 51–100 kg, decadally increasing) were compared. CNR was higher in patients weighing less than 60 kg than in the BW groups 71–99 kg (P between 0.025 and <0.001). Subjective ranking of enhancement (P = 0.165–0.605), noise (P = 0.063), and image quality (P = 0.079) did not differ significantly across all patient groups. CNR correlated moderately strongly with weight (R = −0.585), BSA (R = −0.582), cross-sectional area (R = −0.544), and anteroposterior diameter of the chest (R = −0.457; P < 0.001 all parameters). We conclude that 80 kVp pulmonary CTA permits diagnostic image quality in patients weighing up to 100 kg. Body weight is a suitable criterion to select patients for low-dose pulmonary CTA.  相似文献

Objectives

To evaluate the feasibility, image quality and radiation dose of prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with 30 mL contrast agent at 70 kVp.

Methods

Fifty-eight patients with suspected coronary artery disease, a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25 kg/m2, sinus rhythm and a heart rate (HR) of less than 70 beats per minute (bpm) were prospectively enrolled in this study. Thirty mL of 370 mg I/mL iodinated contrast agent was administrated at a flow rate of 5 mL/s. All patients underwent prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA on a second-generation dual-source CT system at 70 kVp using automated tube current modulation.

Results

Fifty-six patients (96.6 %) had diagnostic CCTA images and two patients (3.4 %) had one vessel with poor image quality each rated as non-diagnostic. No significant effects of HR, HR variability and BMI on CCTA image quality were observed (all P?>?0.05). Effective dose was 0.17?±?0.02 mSv and the size-specific dose estimate was 1.03?±?0.13 mGy.

Conclusion

Prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA at 70 kVp with 30 mL of contrast agent can provide diagnostic image quality at a radiation dose of less than 0.2 mSv in patients with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m2 and an HR of less than 70 bpm.

Key points

? Prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA at 70 kVp/30 mL contrast agent is feasible. ? Diagnostic image quality can be obtained at a radiation dose of less than 0.2 mSv. ? This protocol is suitable for normal-weight patients with slow heart rate.  相似文献

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine whether performing the test bolus (TB) of computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) and computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) at 80 kVp reduces dose without compromising diagnostic quality.

Methods

An 80 kVp TB protocol for CTCA and CTPA was retrospectively compared to standard TB protocol (non-obese: 100 kVp, obese: 120 kVp). CT angiogram parameters were unchanged between cohorts. Thirty-seven consecutive 80 kVp TB CTCA images were compared to 53 standard CTCA images. Fifty consecutive CTPAs from each protocol were analysed. Diagnostic quality of the CT angiogram was assessed by: mean attenuation, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in the ascending aorta (AA) in CTCA and in the main pulmonary artery (MPA) in CTPA, diagnostic rate, and number of repeated monitoring scans. Mean effective dose was estimated using the dose-length product.

Results

Mean TB effective doses were significantly lower (P?Conclusions Routinely performing TB at 80 kVp, regardless of body habitus, in CTCA and CTPA results in a small but significant dose reduction, without compromising CT angiogram diagnostic quality.

Key Points

? CT coronary angiography is performed to exclude the presence of significant coronary atherosclerosis. ? CT pulmonary angiography is performed to diagnose pulmonary thromboembolism. ? This retrospective study showed dose reduction by performing test bolus at 80 kVp. ? Diagnosis can be made with reduced exposure to ionising radiation.  相似文献

目的:探讨100kVp冠状动脉成像的可行性。方法:将临床拟诊为冠心病、体重<80kg的101例病例分别纳入100kVp组(n=65)和120kVp组(n=36),均在64排螺旋CT上进行回顾性心电门控扫描。100kVp组管电压为100kVp,心电图自动管电流调制(峰值400mA);120kVp组管电压为120kVp,心电图自动管电流调制(峰值500mA),对比剂流率及用量均采用个性化给药方案。两组均使用自适应统计迭代重建技术(30%ASIR)。记录有效辐射剂量(ED)值及体型特异性剂量评估(SSDE)值。评估主动脉根部及冠状动脉主要分支(左主干、左前降支、左回降支、右冠支及后降支)的强化效果和图像质量(噪声、CNR及SNR),同时对图像质量进行主观评价。结果:100kVp组目标血管CT值均明显高于120kVp组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),且100kVp组(5.65mSv)有效辐射剂量明显低于120kVp组(12.66mSv),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),100kVp组较120kVp组辐射剂量降低约55.34%;100kVp组(29.68mGy)的SSDE值较120kVp组(70.34mGy)降低57.8%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。120kVp组的图像噪声高于100kVp组(P<0.05),SNR及CNR低于120kVp组(P<0.05),两组之间的图像质量评分差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:对于体重<80kg的患者,采用100kVp的低剂量扫描模式行冠状动脉成像,可以在大幅降低辐射剂量的同时获得满足临床诊断需要的图像。  相似文献
