CT | Advances in CT and radiation protection


RPS 213-3 - Low-dose lung cancer screening with a novel CZT photon-counting
Thomas Holmes; Atlanta, GA / United States

Purpose or Learning Objective: In this study we investigated the initial image quality of a prototype whole-body photon counting detector (PCD) CT scanner based on cadmium-zinc-telluride technology. PCDs offer improved tissue contrast and lower noise, which make them the prime candidate for low-dose applications such as low-dose lung cancer screening. We assessed non-spectral image quality by assessing PCD-CT images created from all detected photons with energies above 25 keV.

Interventional Radiology | Chemoembolisation and radioembolisation of the liver: new developments


RPS 609-2 - Does the use of angio-CT vs cone-beam CT influence the radiation exposure during transarterial chemoembolisation for liver cancer?
Marie Nowak; Lausanne / Switzerland

Purpose or Learning Objective: The use of cone-beam CT (CBCT) has improved the accuracy of image-guided procedures, in particular intra-arterial therapies such as transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE). More recently, a CT-scanner coupled with a C-arm system has been used in this setting to perform angio-CTs. Although these technological evolutions allow for a better image quality and tumour targeting, they also impact patient radiation exposure. The aim of our study was to compare CBCT and CT modalities on patient exposure during TACE for liver cancer.

CT | Photon counting and dual-energy CT


RPS 1013-2 - Phantom imaging evaluations of a prototype full-size photon counting CT system at clinical dose levels
Xiaohui Zhan, Vernon Hills / United States

Purpose or Learning Objective: Recent studies have demonstrated that semiconductor-based photon counting CT (PCCT) has the potential to provide better contrast and noise performance compared to conventional scintillator-based systems. With multi-energy threshold detection, it can provide additional spectral information and enable material decomposition to better differentiate different materials. With much smaller detector pixel size, the system can be configured at different pixel summing modes, and generate images with different spatial resolutions.

RPS 1013-4 - Quantitative image quality comparison between a prototype full-size photon counting CT system and conventional CT systems with energy integrating detectors
Keiichi Nomura, Kashiwa / Japan

Purpose or Learning Objective: Photon counting CT (PCCT) has been shown to offer improved contrast and noise performance than traditional CT systems with scintillator-based energy integrating detectors (EID-CT), in addition to its capability of spectral separation and material differentiation due to multi-energy detection and acquisition. In this study, we compare a full-size CdZnTe-based engineering prototype PCCT system with conventional EID-CT systems at similar scan conditions and evaluate image quality in multiple aspects.

CT | Coronary artery CT for diagnosis and prognosis


RPS 1503-5 - Can super resolution deep learning reconstruction upgrade the atheroma burden in CAD-RAS 0-2 patients?
Mickaël Ohana, Schiltigheim / France

Purpose or Learning Objective: In patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease on coronary CT angiography (CCTA), the overall cardiovascular risk assessment can be based on the Agatston score and/or the number of involved coronary segments. Whether the use of a super resolution deep learning reconstruction (SR-DLR) algorithm could better discriminate minimal coronary atherosclerosis or not is unknown. Our objective is therefore to compare the number of abnormal coronary segments diagnosed on CCTA when using iterative reconstruction (IR), standard deep learning reconstruction (DLR) and SR-DLR.
