To compared the diagnostic performance of low-dose (LD) lumbar-spine (L-spine) CT with that of standard-dose (SD) L-spine CT.
Patients who underwent SD (n = 76) or LD (n = 68) L-spine CT using model-based iterative reconstruction were included. Two reviewers independently analyzed 10 anatomical regions on both CT scans. Also, suggested treatment decision between both CT scans was compared.
LD L-spine CT showed an excellent diagnostic accuracy (98.1-98.2%) that was comparable to that of SD L-spine CT (98.4-99.1%). The suggested treatment decision was not different between both CT scans.
LD L-spine CT can be used as a potential first-line diagnostic tool.
比较低剂量(LD)腰椎CT与标准剂量(SD)腰椎CT的诊断性能。
纳入使用基于模型的迭代重建技术进行SD(n = 76)或LD(n = 68)腰椎CT检查的患者。两名阅片者独立分析两种CT扫描上的10个解剖区域。此外,比较了两种CT扫描之间建议的治疗决策。
LD腰椎CT显示出与SD腰椎CT(98.4 - 99.1%)相当的出色诊断准确性(98.1 - 98.2%)。两种CT扫描之间建议的治疗决策没有差异。
LD腰椎CT可作为一种潜在的一线诊断工具。
