概括
放射学特征显示光子计数探测器CT和双能CT系统的可重现性较差. 显著的可变性需要在临床使用之前改善跨系统的概括性.
科学领域:
- 医疗成像医学成像
- 无线电学 (Radiomics) 是一种辐射学.
- 计算机断层扫描 (CT) 是一种计算机断层扫描.
背景情况:
- 放射学可以对医学图像进行定量分析.
- 放射学特征的稳定性对于临床翻译至关重要.
- 光子计数探测器CT (PCD-CT) 和双能CT (DECT) 是先进的CT技术.
研究的目的:
- 评估放射学特征的稳定性和可重复性.
- 为了比较不同CT系统 (PCD-CT和DECT) 的特征稳定性.
- 为了评估放射学特征的系统间变性和可重复性.
主要方法:
- 使用一个PCD-CT和四个DECT系统扫描了28种材料的纹理幻影.
- 重建了70keV的虚拟单色图像.
- 93个放射学特征被提取和分析,以测试-重新测试,系统内和系统间的可重现性,使用布兰德-阿尔特曼分析,ICC,CCC,CV和QCD.
主要成果:
- 97.1%的特征表现出良好的测试重复性.
- 观察到高的系统内可重复性 (平均ICC/CCC~0.945).
- 发现了显著的系统间变异性,很少有特征在系统之间显示可接受的一致性 (<10%CV/QCD).
结论:
- 放射学特征在不同的CT技术 (PCD-CT和DECT) 中表现出显著的变异性和缺乏可重复性.
- 有限的系统间稳定性可能会阻碍放射学模型在临床实践中的通用性.
- 在日常临床实施之前,确保CT放射性稳定性至关重要.

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...

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...
