Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the image quality and radiation dose in adenosine-stress dynamic myocardial CT perfusion (CTP) imaging using different tube voltages, tube current settings, and contrast materials containing different iodine concentrations in subjects with normal body mass indices (BMI). We included 92 patients (BMI range, 18.5-24.8) who underwent dynamic CTP for the evaluation of coronary artery disease using a 128-slice dual-source computed tomography. The protocols employed the following dynamic scan parameters: protocol I with 100 kV, fixed tube current (FTC), and medium-concentration contrast material (MC, 350 mg iodine/mL); protocol II with 100 kV, automatic tube current modulation (ATCM), and MC; protocol III with 100 kV, ATCM, and high-concentration contrast material (HC, 400 mg iodine/mL); protocol IV with 80 kV, adopted FTC, and HC. Subjective image quality on a 1-3 point scale and objective image quality with respect to the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were assessed. Protocol IV showed higher CNR and SNR than the other protocols (P < 0.01), while the CNR and SNR values did not significantly differ among the other three protocols. There was no significant difference in subjective image quality among the protocols. The radiation dose in protocol IV was the lowest among the protocols (P < 0.01), while protocol IV resulted in a 54% overall reduction in mean effective radiation dose compared with protocol I. Dynamic myocardial CTP performed at 80 kV with adapted FTC provided high CNR and SNR while preserving subjective image quality and reducing radiation exposure.

摘要

本研究的目的是评估在体重指数(BMI)正常的受试者中,使用不同管电压、管电流设置以及含不同碘浓度的对比剂进行腺苷负荷动态心肌CT灌注(CTP)成像时的图像质量和辐射剂量。我们纳入了92例患者(BMI范围为18.5 - 24.8),这些患者使用128层双源计算机断层扫描进行动态CTP以评估冠状动脉疾病。方案采用了以下动态扫描参数:方案I为100 kV、固定管电流(FTC)以及中等浓度对比剂(MC,350 mg碘/ mL);方案II为100 kV、自动管电流调制(ATCM)以及MC;方案III为100 kV、ATCM以及高浓度对比剂(HC,400 mg碘/ mL);方案IV为80 kV、采用FTC以及HC。评估了1 - 3分制的主观图像质量以及关于对比噪声比(CNR)和信噪比(SNR)的客观图像质量。方案IV显示出比其他方案更高的CNR和SNR(P < 0.01),而其他三个方案的CNR和SNR值无显著差异。各方案之间主观图像质量无显著差异。方案IV的辐射剂量在各方案中最低(P < 0.01),与方案I相比,方案IV使平均有效辐射剂量总体降低了54%。在80 kV下采用适配的FTC进行动态心肌CTP可提供高CNR和SNR,同时保持主观图像质量并减少辐射暴露。
