Evaluation Of a New Reconstruction Technique for Dual-Energy (DECT) Lung Perfusion: Preliminary Experience In 58 Patients

Résumé

PurposeTo compare dual-energy (DE) lung perfused blood volume generated by subtraction of virtual monoenergetic images (Lung Mono) with images obtained by three-compartment decomposition (Lung PBV).Material and methodsThe study included 58 patients (28 patients with and 30 patients without PE) with reconstruction of Lung PBV images (i.e., the reference standard) and Lung Mono images. The inter-technique comparison was undertaken at a patient and segment level.ResultsThe distribution of scores of subjective image noise (patient level) significantly differed between the two reconstructions (p<0.0001), with mild noise in 58.6% (34/58) of Lung Mono images vs 25.9% (15/58) of Lung PBV images. Detection of perfusion defects (segment level) was concordant in 1104 segments (no defect: n=968; defects present: n=138) and discordant in 2 segments with a PE-related defect only depicted on Lung Mono images. Among the 28 PE patients, the distribution of gradient of attenuation between perfused areas and defects was significantly higher on Lung Mono images compared to Lung PBV (median= 73.5 HU (QI=65.0; Q3=86.0) vs 24.5 HU (22.0; 30.0); p<0.0001). In all patients, fissures were precisely identified in 77.6% of patients (45/58) on Lung Mono images while blurred (30/58; 51.7%) or not detectable (28/58; 48.3%) on Lung PBV images.ConclusionLung Mono perfusion imaging allows significant improvement in the overall image quality and improved detectability of PE-type perfusion defects.
