研究的目的:
- 用锡波器来确定PET AC可达到的最低CT剂量.
- 评估CT剂量减少对PET量化准确度的影响.
- 为了比较剂量降低和量化准确性,使用和不使用锡镜.
主要方法:
- 一个具有不同密度 (水,沙-面粉-水,沙) 的NEMA幻影用F-FDG PET-CT进行了成像.
- 在不同的管电压 (120 kV,100 kV,Sn140 kV,Sn100 kV) 和管电流调制设置 (mAs) 进行CT采集.
- 使用CT衍生衰减图重建PET数据,并测量活动度以评估与参考标准相对的量化差异.
主要成果:
- 对于PET AC的标准超低剂量CT (ULDCT) 导致PET量化差异≤1.7%,而水的剂量长度产物 (DLP) 为7mGy·cm.
- 在Sn100 kV的锡波器实现了微不足道的PET量化差异 (≤1.2%) 到50 mAs-ref,DPL为2.8 mGy·cm (60%的剂量减少).
- 在50 mAs-ref以下的剂量或使用锡波器的骨密度等效剂量导致量化差异>2%;Sn140 kV/7 mAs-ref在水中产生≤0.6%的差异 (DLP 3.8 mGy·cm).
结论:
- 对PET AC的超低剂量CT协议可以实现足够的PET量化.
- 与PET AC的标准ULDCT协议相比,锡过器可以显著降低剂量 (60-87%).
- 最佳的锡协议取决于组织密度和可接受的PET量化变化水平.

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...
