目的 探讨成年人颅骨表面遮盖重建(SSD)的理想阈值设定,为利用SSD进行的头部CT血管成像(CTA)去骨成像提供阈值设定的依据。 方法 选取2012年8月,在成都市第一人民医院体检的、同一单位工作的86位体检对象,进行颅骨平均CT值、腰椎骨质密度、性别及年龄的两两对照及多重线性回归拟合,建立起预估颅骨平均CT值的多重线性回归方程,计算出18~80岁人群的理论平均颅骨CT值作为SSD的理想阈值。同时收集2012年10月-2013年2月在该院进行头部CTA检查的12例患者的相关资料以验证其可行性。 结果 18~80岁人群的理论平均颅骨CT值约为640 Hu。以该值作为SSD的阈值进行去骨成像,所有患者图像质量评分均为5分,可视为去骨成功。 结论 在利用理论颅骨平均CT值作为重建阈值的基础之上,通过简单的SSD图像质量再判断及修正,即可简便地完成后处理工作,具有可行性。
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of head boneless CT angiography (CTA) for surface shaded display (SSD) (hereinafter referred to as the SSD-CTA technology) and volume computed tomographic digital subtraction angiography (VCTDSA) in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of 35 patients diagnosed to have intracranial aneurysm by VCTDSA between April 2013 and November 2014 from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. The original data were imported into the CT workstation of the First People's Hospital of Chengdu. Then, SSD-CTA technology was performed for bone reconstruction. We compared the results of these two technologies. In addition, we selected another 27 patients diagnosed with intracranial aneurysm by SSDCTA and DSA examination at the same time between June 2012 and November 2014 in the First People's Hospital of Chengdu for comparison. ResultsThe quality score of SSD-CTA reconstructed image was lower than that of VCTDSA, but the diagnosis of the two technologies for intracranial aneurysm was not statistically different (P>0.05). Compared with DSA, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis for intracranial aneurysms by SSD-CTA were both 100%. ConclusionSSD-CTA is valuable in diagnosing intracranial aneurysms.
