Objectives: This study evaluated the efficacy of dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (DLCT) for detecting early ischemic changes (EICs) in patients with acute stroke (AIS), focusing on electron density (ED) and effective atomic number (effective Z) imaging. Material Methods: retrospective included 15 (mean age: 76.5 ± 9.8 years) AIS who underwent non-contrast (CT) DLCT magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) same day. Quantitative analysis was performed to compare conventional CT, ED,...
Abstract Purpose To determine whether quantitative diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) is useful for characterizing poorly contrast‐enhanced and T2‐prolonged bone masses. Materials Methods We studied 20 masses that showed high signal intensity on T2‐weighted images poor enhancement T1‐weighted images. These included eight solitary cysts, five fibrous dysplasias, seven chondrosarcomas. analyze diffusion changes we calculated the apparent coefficient (ADC) each lesion. Results The ADC values of...
To assess the usefulness of half-Fourier rapid acquisition with relaxation enhancement (RARE) magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for evaluation postoperative changes in pancreaticobiliary ductal system.The study included 34 patients (20 men, 14 women; mean age, 65.5 years) who underwent surgery system. Half-Fourier RARE MRCP images were obtained after surgery. Qualitative ratings by two observers depiction anatomy and artifacts, as well analysis complications. Direct...
Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate effects low-tube-voltage computed tomography (CT) venography on qualitative and quantitative image parameters radiation dose. Methods: Eighty-eight studies 84 patients underwent pelvic lower-extremity CT under protocol A (standard 120 kV with 150 mL contrast material, n = 44) or B (80 100 a 64-detector scanner. We compared dose length product in 2 protocols. Two blinded observers measured attenuation veins, noise, contrast-to-noise...
Model-based type iterative reconstruction algorithms with fast times are now available. The clinical feasibility of their has not been evaluated adequately.To investigate the effects model-based reconstruction, i.e. model (IMR), time on qualitative and quantitative image quality at low-dose chest computed tomography (CT).Thirty-one patients undergoing screening CT were enrolled. Images reconstructed using filtered back projection (FBP), hybrid (HIR), IMR algorithms. attenuation noise for all...
