摘要
目的:探究能谱CT在糖尿病患者足部动脉造影中小血管成像的应用价值.材料和方法:前瞻性收集2022年 1月至 2023年 1月于我院放射科行下肢血管CTA检查的 30例糖尿病患者.在患者行下肢CT血管造影(传统CTA组)后,立即采集足部血管的能谱图像,获得最佳虚拟单能图像(能谱CTA组),将两组的足部图像进行比较,以观察足部动脉小血管的显示并且计算对比噪声比(CNR)和信噪比(SNR).使用 5分法对动脉走向和小血管显示进行评分.结果:能谱CTA组中的CNR和SNR显著优于传统CTA组.能谱CTA组的胫后动脉和足背动脉的主观评分也显著高于传统CTA组(均＞3分).结论:与传统CTA成像相比,能谱成像能够提供更好的图像质量,提高足动脉造影的诊断性能,增加医生对疾病诊断的信心.
Abstract
Objective:To investigate the feasibility of dual-energy computed tomography(DECT)in foot arteriography for small vessel image quality in patients with diabetes.Methods:A total of 30 patients with diabetes were enrolled prospectively between January and November 2022 in the radiology department of our hospital,where DECT was acquired immediately after the CT angiography(routine CTA group)of the lower extremity.The optimal virtual monochromatic images(DECT group)were derived from the DECT data.Image quality was assessed by measuring the CT values and noise in foot arteries,and signal-tonoise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were calculated.The arterial course and small vessel display were scored using a 5-point scale(1,poor;5,excellent).Results:The CNR and SNR were significantly better in the DECT group than in the routine CTA group.The DECT group received higher subjective scores on the posterior tibial artery and the foot arteries(all＞3)than did the routine CTA group.Conclusion:Compared to the routine CTA imaging,DECT offers superior image quality for foot arteriography,thereby enhancing the diagnostic accuracy of foot arteriography and bolstering physicians'confidence in disease diagnosis.
