RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the iodine load per body weight (ILPBW) that is minimally required for the detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma for 80kVp CT imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Institutional review board approval and written informed consent were obtained. Fifty-seven consecutive patients with histopathologically-proven pancreatic adenocarcinoma were assigned to three groups at random according to iodine load (0.5, 0.4, and 0.3gI/kg) and underwent CT at 80kVp. Enhancement of the pancreas and visualization of the tumor were assessed during the pancreatic parenchymal-phase and compared among the three groups. The relationship between the iodine load and tumor conspicuity was also analyzed. RESULTS: The mean CT number of the pancreas (HUpancreas) was higher in the 0.5gI/kg group (158.8HU) than in the 0.4 (121.7HU) and 0.3 (106.6HU) gI/kg groups (P<0.05). Tumor-to-pancreas contrast (HUtumor-to-pancreas) was also higher in 0.5gI/kg group (88.9HU) than in 0.4 (62.2HU) and 0.3 (54.5HU) gI/kg groups (P<0.05). Linear regression between HUpancreas or HUtumor-to-pancreas and ILPBW were expressed as HUpancreas=23.3+263.9×ILPBW (r=0.74, P<0.0001) and HUtumor-to-pancreas=-1.24+174.3×ILPBW (r=0.56, P<0.0001), respectively. The iodine load estimated to achieve an acceptable HUpancreas (>100HU) and HUtumor-to-pancreas (>50HU) were 0.29 and 0.30gI/kg, respectively. CONCLUSION: An iodine load of 0.3gI/kg was the least amount required for the detection of pancreatic adenocarcinoma at 80kVp CT.
