Clinical evaluation of coronary angiography by prospective ECG gated sequence scanning using second generation dual source CT:no heart rate control / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effects of image quality and radiation dose of the patients with no heart rate control on different acquisition window settings.Methods A total of 75 patients underwent CTCA scan,with a median age of 55 years.All patients had no heart rate control.HR≤65 beats per minute acquisition phase setting was from 65%to 75%,65 beats per minute80 beats per minute acquisition phase setting was from 35%to 45%.Evaluated patients radiation dose and subjective image quality of coronary artery.Results 75 patients with ED was (2.44±1.21)mSv,group A was (1.54±0.41)mSv, group B was (3.57±0.53)mSv,group C was (1.64±0.27)mSv,group A vs group B(P=0.000),group A vs group C(P=0.854),group B vs group C(P=0.000).A total of 1 043 coronary artery segments of 75 patients were evaluated,with an average of 13.9 segments showed by every case,(3.66±0.51)scale.Group A was (3.75±0.44)scale,group B was (3.60±0.54)scale,group C was (3.38±0.67) scale,group A vs group B(P=0.000),group A vs group C(P=0.004),group B vs group C(P=0.032).Conclusion The prospective ECG gated sequence scan could obtain the image quality and avoid unnecessary radiation dose by adapting to the different heart rate.
