Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility of axial whole-liver one-stop examination with Revolution CT.Methods Totally 19 patients were underwent upper-abdominal enhanced examination with Revolution CT and acquired whole-liver CT perfusion (CTP),vein phase and balanced phase enhanced images.Two observers recorded the rank and peak CT value corresponding to time-density curve (TDC) of abdominal aorta and portal vein respectively on the CTP images.The perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF),blood volume (BV),hepatic arterial fraction (HAF),mean transit time (MTT),time to peak (TP) of left and right liver lobe were measured.The images of hepatic artery CTA and portal vein CTV were reconstructed and the arterial phase enhanced images were extracted using the images corresponding to abdominal aorta and portal vein peak TDC.And the radiation dose of CT perfusion and one-stop examination were recorded.The differences between perfusion parameters of left and right liver lobe were compared and the consistency of two observers were analyzed.Results The differences between BV and MTT of left and right liver lobe were statistical significance (both P＜0.05).The subjective scores of hepatic artery CTA,portal vein CTV and arterial phase images were greater than 1 point.The two observers were in great consistence (Kappa＞0.6).The effective radiation dose in perfusion phase and one-stop examination were 14.47 mSv and 21.29 mSv.Conclusion With low radiation dose,Revolution CT axial wholeliver perfusion one-stop examination can provide multiple quantitative parameters of liver CTP and clear hepatic artery CTA,portal vein CTV and 3 phase enhanced scan images,which has broadly prospective in clinical application.
