Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

309
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

7.9K
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...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

206
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...

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Bone mineral density (BMD) assessment is crucial for diagnosing osteoporosis.
  • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the current gold standard for BMD measurement.
  • Chest computed tomography (CT) is widely used for evaluating lung and cardiac conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate an artificial intelligence (AI) prototype's accuracy in determining BMD from chest CT scans.
  • To compare AI-derived BMD measurements with those obtained from DEXA.

Main Methods:

  • Analyzed data from 65 patients who underwent both DEXA and chest CT.
  • Utilized an AI algorithm incorporating wavelet features, AdaBoost, and local geometry constraints.
  • Computed average Hounsfield Unit (HU) values from thoracic vertebrae on CT with spectral correction.
  • Correlated AI-derived HU values with DEXA-derived T-scores using Pearson correlation.

Main Results:

  • A moderate correlation (r=0.55; P<0.001) was observed between DEXA T-scores and AI-derived HU values.
  • AI-derived HU values showed a significant difference between normal control and osteoporotic groups (P=0.045).
  • Mean AI-derived attenuation values were 145±42.5 HU (normal), 136±31.82 HU (osteopenic), and 103±16.28 HU (osteoporotic).

Conclusions:

  • The AI prototype demonstrates capability in determining BMD with moderate correlation to DEXA.
  • This AI tool could enhance preventative care by integrating BMD assessment into routine chest CTs.
  • Future applications may combine this AI algorithm with others for comprehensive patient evaluation from a single scan.
