Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT

203
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 for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

304
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...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Cardiovascular Imaging

Background:

  • Dynamic CT Perfusion (CTP) provides crucial functional data for coronary artery disease (CAD) evaluation.
  • Current dynamic CTP protocols involve high X-ray radiation doses, typically 10-20 mSv, raising safety concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the dose reduction capabilities of Iterative Model Reconstruction (IMR) compared to iDose(4) and Filtered Back Projection (FBP) in dynamic CTP.
  • To assess the impact of reduced radiation dose on image quality and diagnostic accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging.

Main Methods:

  • Dynamic CTP scans were performed on a porcine model with induced coronary artery ischemia.
  • Simulated low-dose scans (75, 50, 25 mAs) were created by adding noise to high-dose (100 mAs, 23 mSv) projection data.
  • Images were reconstructed using FBP, iDose(4), and IMR; image quality was assessed via Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR), and flow quantification.

Main Results:

  • IMR demonstrated superior static image quality (SNR, CNR) across all dose levels.
  • Filtered Back Projection (FBP) showed increasing overestimation of blood flow at reduced doses.
  • Iterative Model Reconstruction (IMR) provided consistent flow quantification from 100 mAs down to 25 mAs, enabling comparable diagnostic quality at 5.8 mSv (25% of 23 mSv FBP protocol).

Conclusions:

  • Iterative Model Reconstruction (IMR) allows for significant radiation dose reduction in dynamic CTP while preserving diagnostic image quality and functional assessment accuracy.
  • IMR offers a promising approach for safer, lower-dose myocardial perfusion imaging in the clinical evaluation of coronary artery disease.
