RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare image quality and endoleak detection after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair between a triphasic computed tomography (CT) with true noncontrast (TNC) and a biphasic CT with virtual noniodine (VNI) images on photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Adult patients after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair who received a triphasic examination (TNC, arterial, venous phase) on a PCD-CT between August 2021 and July 2022 were retrospectively included. Endoleak detection was evaluated by 2 blinded radiologists on 2 different readout sets (triphasic CT with TNC-arterial-venous vs biphasic CT with VNI-arterial-venous). Virtual noniodine images were reconstructed from the venous phase. The radiologic report with additional confirmation by an expert reader served as reference standard for endoleak presence. Sensitivity, specificity, and interreader agreement (Krippendorf α) were calculated. Image noise was assessed subjectively in patients using a 5-point scale and objectively calculating the noise power spectrum in a phantom. RESULTS: One hundred ten patients (7 women; age, 76 ± 8 years) with 41 endoleaks were included. Endoleak detection was comparable between both readout sets with a sensitivity and specificity of 0.95/0.84 (TNC) versus 0.95/0.86 (VNI) for reader 1 and 0.88/0.98 (TNC) versus 0.88/0.94 (VNI) for reader 2. Interreader agreement for endoleak detection was substantial (TNC: 0.716, VNI: 0.756). Subjective image noise was comparable between TNC and VNI (4; IQR [4, 5] vs 4; IQR [4, 5], P = 0.44). In the phantom, noise power spectrum peak spatial frequency was similar between TNC and VNI (both f peak = 0.16 mm -1 ). Objective image noise was higher in TNC (12.7 HU) as compared with VNI (11.5 HU). CONCLUSIONS: Endoleak detection and image quality were comparable using VNI images in biphasic CT as compared with TNC images in triphasic CT offering the possibility to reduce scan phases and radiation exposure.
