摘要
目的探讨多层螺旋CT肺动脉造影(CTPA)使用低对比剂量的可行性。方法前瞻性连续选择2012年3月至2013年2月疑似肺动脉栓塞的患者58例行CTPA检查。按检查奇偶周数分为低对比剂量组(I组)和高对比剂量组(Ⅱ组)。I组28例:64排多层螺旋CT扫描,使用对比剂量为35ml,选择监测点上腔静脉;1I组30例:64排多层螺旋CT扫描,使用常规对比剂量80~90ml,选择监测点为肺动脉干。两组肺动脉造影图像分别测量肺动脉主干、亚段级肺动脉、肺静脉、升主动脉的CT值。计算出肺动脉的对比度噪声比(CNR)进行客观影像评价。由两名资深影像学医师以5分制对两组的CTPA图像质量进行评分。使用独立样本t检验与Mann-WhitneyU检验分析两组之间图像客观评价以及图像主观评分的统计学意义。结果I组图像的肺动脉主干CT值、亚段级肺动脉CT值、CNR均高于Ⅱ组,经独立样本t检验,均有统计学意义(t=2.0、P=0.04;t=2.6、P:0.01;t=2.6、P:0.00);I组图像的主动脉CT值与肺静脉CT值低于Ⅱ组,差异均有统计学意义(t=一7.9、P=0.00;t=-3.2、P=0.01)。I组图像的CNR高出Ⅱ组图像10.6%。两名资深影像诊断医师以5分法进行图像质量评估,经Mann-WhitneyU检验,医师A、医师B对I、Ⅱ两组图像质量评估均有显著统计学意义(Z=-2.3、P=0.02;Z=-2.8、P=0.02)。两名医师对两组图像质量评估的一致性经Kappa检验一致性较好(Kappa值=0.81)。结论CTPA使用35ml对比剂结合上腔静脉为监测点追踪触发扫描方法是完全可行的,并且图像质量好于常规扫描方法。
Objective To evaluate the feasibility of low contrast dose in muhislice spiral CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Methods 58 patients suspected with pulmonary embolism underwent multi slice spiral CT pulmonary angiogra- phy from March 2012 to February 2013 were collected in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: group I (28 patients) underwent (CTPA) using low contrast dose of 35 ml, monitoring point was selected at superior vena cava; group Ⅱ (30 patients) undwewent CTPA using conventional contrast dose of 80 - 90 ml, monitoring point was selected at pulmo- nary trunk. The CT attenuation value of pulmonary trunk, sub segment of pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, ascending a- orta were measured in 2 groups respectively. Contrast to noise ratio was calculated. Two experienced imaging physicians compared the image quality between 2 groups using 5 point seal. Results The CT attenuation values of pulmonary trunk, sub segment of pulmonary artery in group I were higher than that in group Ⅱ, there was statistically significant difference( t = 2. 0 ,P = 0. 04 ; t = 2. 6 ,P = 0. 01 ; t = 2. 6 ,P = 0.00 ) between two groups. The CT attenuation values of aorta and pulmo- nary vein in group I were lower than that in group Ⅱ, there was statistically significant difference between two groups ( t = - 7.9 ,P = 0. 0 ;t = - 3.2 ,P = 0.01 ). The images CNR of group I was higher than that of group Ⅱ. Two physicians had good consistency in evaluating image quality using Kappa test assessment ( Kappa = 0.81 ). Conclusion CTPA using low contrast agent combined with the superior vena eava for the monitoring point is entirely feasible, and the image quality is better than conventional scanning methods.
