Abstract

A new prototype spectral photon-counting computed tomography (SPCCT) based on a modified clinical CT system has been developed. SPCCT analysis of the energy composition of the transmitted x-ray spectrum potentially allows simultaneous dual contrast agent imaging, however, this has not yet been demonstrated with such a system. We investigated the feasibility of using this system to distinguish gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and an iodinated contrast agent. The contrast agents and calcium phosphate were imaged in phantoms. Conventional CT, gold K-edge, iodine and water images were produced and demonstrated accurate discrimination and quantification of gold and iodine concentrations in a phantom containing mixtures of the contrast agents. In vivo experiments were performed using New Zealand White rabbits at several times points after injections of AuNP and iodinated contrast agents. We found that the contrast material maps clearly differentiated the distributions of gold and iodine in the tissues allowing quantification of the contrast agents' concentrations, which matched their expected pharmacokinetics. Furthermore, rapid, repetitive scanning was done, which allowed measurement of contrast agent kinetics with high temporal resolution. In conclusion, a clinical scale, high count rate SPCCT system is able to discriminate gold and iodine contrast media in different organs in vivo.

摘要

一种基于改良临床 CT 系统的新型光谱光子计数计算机断层扫描(SPCCT)原型已被开发出来。SPCCT 对透射 X 射线光谱能量组成的分析有可能实现同时进行双对比剂成像,但尚未在这样的系统中得到证明。我们研究了使用该系统区分金纳米颗粒(AuNP)和碘对比剂的可行性。在体模中对对比剂和磷酸钙进行成像。生成了常规 CT、金 K 边、碘和水图像,并证明了在含有对比剂混合物的体模中对金和碘浓度的准确区分和定量。在新西兰白兔注射 AuNP 和碘对比剂后的几个时间点进行了体内实验。我们发现,对比材料图清楚地区分了组织中金和碘的分布,从而能够定量对比剂的浓度,这与它们的预期药代动力学相匹配。此外,还进行了快速、重复的扫描,从而能够以高时间分辨率测量对比剂的动力学。总之,一种临床规模、高计数率的 SPCCT 系统能够在体内不同器官中区分金和碘对比剂。
