低管电压与低浓度对比剂联合迭代重建技术在主动脉CT血管成像中的应用

Application of low tube voltage and low-concentration iodinated contrast with iterative reconstruction on aorta computed tomography angiography

  • 摘要: 目的:探讨低浓度对比剂和低管电压的“双低”模式联合迭代重建技术行320排CT胸腹主动脉成像(CTA)的图像质量和辐射剂量。方法:80例行胸腹主动脉 CTA 检查的患者随机均分为常规模式组、双低模式组(n=40):常规模式组管电压120 kVp,对比剂浓度为370 mgI/mL;双低模式组管电压80 kVp,对比剂浓度为300 mgI/mL。两组患者的CTA影像采用SURE Exposure 3D技术扫描和自适应迭代剂量减低算法(adaptive iterative dose reduction,AIDR) 3D重建,对比分析两组患者CTA影像的质量主观评分、噪声(SD)、信噪比(SNR)及辐射剂量。结果:两组患者的年龄、性别分布、体质指数(BMI)等基线资料差异无统计学意义。两组患者升主动脉、降主动脉、腹主动脉、髂总动脉和股动脉5个动脉节段影像的主观质量评分差异无统计学意义。双低模式组患者CTA影像主动脉管腔内5个节段CT值明显高于常规模式组,差异均有统计学意义(P< 0.05);双低模式组患者CTA影像主动脉管腔内5个节段SNR均大于常规模式组,除股动脉节段外,其余节段差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。与常规模式组相比,双低模式组患者有效辐射剂量降低55%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);有效碘摄入量降低18.92%。结论:在东芝320排 CT上应用80 kVp超低管电压、低浓度300 mgI/mL碘对比剂结合AIDR 3D迭代重建算法行胸腹主动脉 CTA 检查可降低患者接受的辐射剂量及碘摄入量,并能获得优质的图像质量。

     

    Abstract: Objective:To investigate the image quality and radiation dosage in the 320-slice thoracic and abdominal aorta computed tomography angiography (TAA-CTA) using low tube voltage and low concentration contrast with iterative reconstruction. Methods:Eighty patients requiring TAA-CTA were randomly divided into two groups (40 patients in each group).Patients in group A received CTA scan with 120 kVp and 370 mgI/mL of contrast media.Meanwhile, patients in group B received CTA scan with 80 kVp and 300 mgI/mL of contrast media.SURE Exposure 3D technique and adaptive iterative dose reduction (AIDR) 3D were adopted for both two groups. Image quality, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and radiation dose were evaluated on all of the images.Results:There was no significant difference in age, BMI, and five segmental images quality evaluation between the two groups. CT values of five segmental arterial lumina in group B were higher than that in group A, and difference was obviously significant (P<0.05). SNRs of five segmental arterial lumina in group B were also higher than those in group A. Statistical differences were remarkably significant (P<0.05) in SNRs of four segmental arterial lumina excluding that of femoral artery. Valid radiation dosage in group B was 55%, which was lower than that in group A with a significant statistical difference (P<0.05). Valid iodine intake was reduced by 18.92% in group B than that in group A. Conclusions:Low concentration iodinated contrast (300 mgI/mL) and 80 kVp ultra low tube voltage with AIDR 3D iterative reconstruction for patients requiring TAA-CTA could reduce the radiation dosage and iodine intake without weakening image quality.
