Comparison of values of iDose4 iterative reconstruction and filtered back projection reconstruction for coronary CT angiography / 医疗卫生装备

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the value of iDose4 iterative reconstruction for coronary CT angiography (CCTA).Methods Totally 124 coronary heart disease patients underwent iDose4 iterative reconstruction and filtered back projection (FBP) reconstruction,of whom,56 ones with BMI not less than 20 kg/m2 were put into No.1 iteration group using 135 kV tube voltage and 68 ones with BMI less than 20 kg/m2 were into No.2 iteration group using 110 kV tube voltage.FBP reconstruction was executed with 110 kV tube voltage.Comparison analyses were carried out on signal noise ratio (SNR),contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and image quality.Results There were significant differences between the values of SNR,radiation dose and image quality in No.1 iteration group and FBP group (P＜0.05).Statistical differences were also found between the values of CNR and radiation dose in No.2 iteration group and FBP group,while there were no obvious differences between the values of SNR and image quality in the above two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion Low-voltage iDose reconstruction gains advantages in radiation dose and image quality during 64-slice CCTA,and thus is worthy promoting clinically.
