Application research of contrast material for coronary CT angiography by a combination of iterative reconstruction and double inj ection technology / 实用放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of contrast material on image quality of coronary CT angiography (CCTA)by using double injection technology and iterative reconstruction.Methods 120 patients with suspected coronary heart disease who underwent CCTA were randomly divided into two groups.Then,60 patients with 30 kg/m2>BMI≥25 kg/m2 were averagely divided into A1 and B1 groups,and other 60 ones with BMI0.05).There was no significant difference in mean image quality scores between group A2 and B2 (P>0.05), however,there were significant differences in the SI,SD of values and SNR,CNR of ascending aorta (P0.05).There was significant difference in effective dose between subgroups (P<0.05).Conclusion The method with a combination of iterative reconstruction and a contrast material of 245 mg I/mL using double inj ection technology can improve the contrast enhancement without impairing image quality.
