DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Four-dimensional dynamic contrast-enhanced breast CT (4D DCE-bCT) provides high-resolution imaging for breast tumor characterization and monitoring.
  • Optimal parameters for iodine quantification in 4D DCE-bCT are not yet established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize a dedicated breast CT system for long dynamic contrast-enhanced scans.
  • Achieve high spatio-temporal resolution while maintaining a low radiation dose.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a polychromatic iterative algorithm (IMPACT) for prior image reconstruction.
  • Employed prior image constrained compressed sensing (PICCS) for sparse post-contrast image reconstruction.
  • Optimized tube current, projection angles, and iteration numbers using a physical phantom.

Main Results:

  • A high-quality prior image allows post-contrast imaging with 40 angles and 32 mA.
  • Reconstructed images show no streak artifacts, with minimal difference in iodine quantification (≤0.0004).
  • Spatial resolution in PICCS images is concentration-dependent, with a cut-off frequency of 0.9 cycles/mm.
  • Total mean glandular dose remains below 22.5 mGy.

Conclusions:

  • Established optimal acquisition and reconstruction parameters for a low-dose 4D DCE-bCT protocol.
  • Validated the numerical accuracy of the protocol through a physical phantom study.
