虚拟非对比 (VNC) CT 图像显示与大多数部结构的真非对比 (TNC) 扫描很好地一致,可能减少辐射. 然而,由于密度差异,VNC不能完全取代TNC用于甲状腺成像.
科学领域:
- 放射学 放射学是一门学科.
- 医疗成像医学成像
- 计算机断层扫描 (CT) 是一种计算机断层扫描.
背景情况:
- 双能计算断层扫描 (DECT) 允许从对比增强扫描进行虚拟非对比 (VNC) 图像重建.
- 这种技术通过消除对真正非对比 (TNC) 阶段的需求,有可能减少辐射暴露.
研究的目的:
- 评估VNC成像在部区域的可行性和准确性.
- 在各种解剖结构中比较VNC和TNC图像之间的图像密度.
主要方法:
- 包括100名接受DECT治疗原发性副甲状腺炎症的患者.
- 从动脉和静脉相对比增强扫描中重建了VNC图像.
- 甲状腺,淋巴结,血管,脂肪和肌肉的平均密度在TNC和VNC图像之间进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 在大多数部结构中,在TNC和VNC图像之间发现了可接受的密度协议 (<15 HU差异).
- 甲状腺组织的显著平均密度差异为53.2 HU (p < 0.001).
结论:
- VNC成像显示有可能替代TNC成像用于一般部结构,减少辐射剂量.
- 在评估甲状腺时,VNC成像不是TNC成像的直接替代品,因为密度差异很大.

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...
