- 医疗成像医学成像
- 诊断技术 诊断技术
背景情况:
- 早期诊断血栓和脂肪栓塞对于有效治疗至关重要.
- 光谱计算机断层扫描 (CT) 虚拟非对比 (VNC) 扫描有助于诊断这些疾病,同时减少辐射剂量和扫描时间.
- 对于VNC图像质量的最佳对比度度和曝光设置仍未得到充分研究.
研究的目的:
- 调查不同曝光条件和对比度对低密度物质VNC图像质量的影响.
- 确定光谱CT VNC成像对血栓和脂肪栓塞的最佳参数.
主要方法:
- 准备了四组具有不同度的溶液 (15,10,5 mgI/mL和对照组).
- 子血块和脂肪被注射到猪肠中,并使用120 KV的光谱CT进行扫描,暴露水平各不相同.
- 虚拟非对比 (VNC) 图像与真实非对比 (TNC) 图像进行了比较,使用CT值,标准偏差 (SD) 和对比与噪声比 (CNR).
主要成果:
- 与TNC图像相比,VNC图像显示子血液的CT值较低,脂肪的CT值较高 (P<0.05).
- 在不同度的VNC图像中,子血液和脂肪的标准偏差值减少了 (P<0.05).
- 在大多数条件下,子血液和脂肪的VNC图像的对比度和噪音比率 (CNR) 得到了改善,主观图像质量评级在VNC和TNC之间相似 (P=0.18).

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
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...
