- 为了确定哪些成像因子最能与白斑生长模式比率相关,并区分肺癌组织学亚型.
主要方法:
- 分析了31名肺癌患者的数据,这些患者接受了快速kV切换DECT,随后进行了手术.
- 虚拟单色图像 (35 & 70 keV),虚拟无对比图像,含量图像,电子密度图像和有效Z图像的重建.
- 与白斑生长模式比率的相关性分析和四个组织学组 (WDA,MDA,PDA,SCC) 的比较.
主要成果:
- 发现了白斑生长模式比率和70keV,35keV,VNC和电子密度图像 (所有P<0.001) 之间存在显著的相关性.
- 电子密度图像显示了与虫生长模式比率的强烈相关性 (r = -0.871).

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan.
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System V: CT
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...
