Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Physics
  • Radiological Sciences
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Simultaneous quantification of fat and iron is crucial for diagnosing various metabolic and hematological conditions.
  • Traditional imaging methods may have limitations in accurately differentiating and quantifying coexisting fat and iron deposition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of using photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD CT) for simultaneous fat and iron quantification.
  • To evaluate the accuracy and reliability of PCD CT measurements under different imaging parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Phantoms containing pure fat, pure iron, and mixtures were scanned using PCD CT at varying tube voltages (120/140 kV) and image quality settings.
  • An iron-specific three-material decomposition algorithm was employed to generate virtual non-iron (VNI) and virtual iron content (VIC) images.
  • Image analysis was performed at different quantum iterative reconstruction (QIR) strength levels (1-4).

Main Results:

  • Significant linear correlations were found between known fat content (FC) and VNI, and known iron content (IC) and VIC in pure and mixed phantoms.
  • VNI measurements were not significantly affected by varying iron overload levels.
  • VIC measurements were not confounded by the presence of coexisting fat deposition.
  • No significant differences in fat and iron measurements were observed across different tube voltages, IQ settings, or QIR levels.

Conclusions:

  • PCD CT demonstrates high accuracy and feasibility for simultaneous quantification of fat and iron.
  • The technique provides reliable measurements irrespective of variations in scan parameters, including lower radiation dose settings.
  • PCD CT offers a promising non-invasive tool for assessing tissue composition in clinical settings.
