Value of low-dose volume lung perfusion imaging with 320-detector CT in differential diagnosis of SPNs / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of low-dose volume perfusion imaging with 320-detector CT in differentia-ting solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).Methods 130 patients with 130 SPNs (79 malignant tumors,1 6 active inflammations,1 6 benign nodules and 1 9 chronic inflammations)underwent contrast-enhanced dynamic volume perfusion CT prospectively.50ml of contrast medium with iodine concentration of 370 mg I/mL was injected at a flow rate of 5 mL/s,and the scan began at 0 second or 4 seconds after the bolus injection.20 or 21 intermittent low-dose volume acquisitions were made with 2 s intervals,and the total ac-quisition time was 38 s or 40 s.Post-procession was performed using a perfusion software on the CT (Body Perfusion,Dual-input single compartment mode).The perfusion parameters (PF,BF,PPI),T-DC and TPF were measured or calculated,and then as-sessed.Results PF and PPI of active inflammation nodules showed significant higher value than those of the other three kinds of nodules,and there were significant differences in PF and PPI between active inflammation nodules and other kinds of nodules.The value of BF in malignant nodules was higher than that in the other three kinds of nodules,however no statistic significant difference in PPI was found between malignant and chronic inflammation nodules.The value of TPF in malignant and active inflammation nod-ules was higher than that in benign and chronic nodules,and there were statistic significant differences between malignant and active nodules and chronic ones.Six types of T-DC were displayed on SPNs:malignant,benign and chronic nodules showed a variety of T-DC types,and active inflammatory nodules showed only one type-typeⅠ.Conclusion Low-dose volume perfusion technique with 320-detector row CT can provide abundant information about blood flow of SPNs,and it may be regarded as an important technique in the differential diagnosis of SPNs.

The Relationship between the Extent of Red Color on Pseudocolor CT Image and MVD in Lung Carcinoma / 中国医学影像学杂志

Purpose:To discuss the relationship between the extent of red pseudocolor of pseudocolor CT image and MVD in lung carcinoma.Materials and Methods: The CT angiography was performed by using 16-slices spiral CT in 25 cases with pulmonary carcinoma,proved by pathology.Pseudocolor VR of tumor lesions of pulmonary carcinoma was performed.The immunohistochemical test of MVD of tumor lesion of pulmonary carcinoma was performed in 25 cases.The relation between the extent of red color on pseudo color VR and MVD of tumor lesion of pulmonary carcinoma were analyzed.Results: The extents of red pseudocolor of tumor lesion on VR pseudocolor Imaging were divided to four types: heavy ( n = 5 ),moderate ( n - 8 ),light (n = 9 ),no color( n = 3 ).The add CT values of tumor lesion after enhanced CT were 26.32 ±9.17Hu in 13 cases with heavy or moderate group,10.87 ±4.257Hu in 12 cases with light or no red color group.The numbers of MVD of tumor lesion of pulmonary carcinoma were 57 ±6.43 in 13 cases with heavy or moderate group,19 ±5.29 in 12 cases with light or no red color group.The numbers of MVD of pulmonary carcinoma had statistical significant between heavy or moderate group and light or no red color group.Conclusion:It has a significantly direct correlation between the extent of red pseudocolor of tumor lesion on pseudocolor image and MVD of tumor lesion in pulmonary carcinoma.
