双能量CT头颈部血管减影成像的效果评价及临床应用

目的：评价双能量CT在头颈部血管减影中自动去骨的效果及其临床应用价值。方法：52例临床怀疑头颈部血管疾病的患者随机分为2组,分别进行双能量CT血管减影成像和常规CT血管减影成像,分别用双能量处理软件和Neuro-DSA软件自动完成去骨,采用容积重建（VR）、最大密度投影（MIP）、多平面重组（MPR）等多种后处理方法,由两位经验丰富的放射科医生采用双盲法评价两种减影方法的去骨效果,并进行比较;同时结合非减影数据,观察血管病变情况。结果：双能量CT血管减影成像和常规CT血管减影成像的容积CT剂量指数（CTDIvol）分别为（20.5635±0.00977）mGy和（25.5746±0.55827）mGy,两者有显著性差异。两种方法对于颈动脉、椎动脉及整体头颈部血管的满意显示率分别为87.8%,68.0%,83.0%和93.5%,91.8%,92.6%,其中对于颈动脉的显示无明显差异,但双能量CT血管减影对部分椎动脉的减影效果较常规CT血管减影差,主要集中在椎动脉近颅底的部分。另外,双能量CT血管减影成像还发现了多处血管病变,临床符合率为100%。结论：相比头颈部常规CT血管减影,双能量CT血管减影辐射剂量更低,能够有效的去除绝大多数骨骼,为头颈部血管疾病的诊断提供了一种新的无创性检查方法。

Clinical evaluation of dual energy bone removal in CT angiography of the head and neck

Objective:The aim of this study is to evaluate the bone-subtraction effect of dual energy bone removal in computed tomography angiography(CTA) in head and neck imaging.Methods:The study involved 52 patients who were divided into two groups at random,and scanned on dual source CT for head and neck CTA.Dual energy bone removal CTA and conventional bone subtraction CTA were applied to each of the two groups,respectively.The bone-subtraction was performed automatically in the different methods.Then the subtract...
