Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

Cardiac computed tomography (CT) scanning is an advanced cardiac imaging technique that utilizes CT technology, with or without intravenous (IV) contrast, to produce accurate cross-sectional virtual slices of specific areas of the heart, coronary circulation, and major blood vessels such as the aorta, pulmonary veins, and arteries. The computer processes these slices to generate three-dimensional images. Multidetector CT (MDCT) is a rapid form of CT scanning that captures multiple slices...

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging

DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

Venous Thrombosis II: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies

The key difference between Superficial Vein Thrombosis (SVT) and Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) lies in their location and severity.Clinical ManifestationsSVT typically presents with localized pain, tenderness, and redness along the course of a superficial vein, often accompanied by a palpable, cord-like structure under the skin. This condition is usually less dangerous than DVT but can be uncomfortable and may lead to complications such as cellulitis or, rarely, a clot extension into the deep...

Background:

Accurate visualization of contrast-enhanced blood vessels in lower extremities via computed tomography angiography (CTA) is crucial for diagnosing peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).
Patient motion during CTA examinations complicates the precise masking of non-contrasted tissues, hindering accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Eliminating artifacts from bones, calcifications, and soft tissues in lower leg CTA (knees to toes) remains a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose and evaluate a novel registration-based framework for detecting and correcting patient motion in lower leg CTA.
To enhance the precision of non-contrasted tissue masking for improved CTA subtraction imaging.
To assess the clinical utility of the proposed framework compared to existing commercial tools.

Main Methods:

Development of a registration-based framework incorporating two alternative registration cores for motion detection and correction.
Application of the framework to CTA pre-contrast and post-contrast acquisitions in lower extremities.
Comparison of resulting CTA subtraction images with Advanced Vessel Analysis, a clinical reference tool.
Visual evaluation of CTA subtraction images from 55 PAOD patients by four expert observers using predefined criteria.

Main Results:

The proposed framework demonstrated valuable improvements in CTA examination of the lower legs.
The registration-based approach effectively detected and corrected motion artifacts occurring between and during CTA acquisitions.
Expert evaluation indicated the robustness and clinical relevance of the generated CTA subtraction images.

Conclusions:

The novel registration-based framework offers significant advancements for lower leg CTA.
Improved motion correction leads to more accurate subtraction imaging, aiding PAOD diagnosis and treatment.
The proposed method shows promise as a valuable tool in clinical vascular imaging practices.
