ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the diagnostic value of energy spectrum CT combined with high concentration iodine contrast agent (400 mg/ml) for hepatic venous system CT angiography in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS).Methods:
A total of 48 patients with BCS who underwent the hepatic venous system CT angiography were prospectively collected from March to August 2019 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Patients were randomly divided into control group (350 mg /ml) and study group (400 mg /ml). In the control group, the dosage of iodine contrast agent was 1.6 ml/kg, and the flow rate was 4.0 ml/s. In the study group, the dosage of iodine contrast agent was 1.4 ml/kg. Double-flow rate injection protocol was used in the study group, i.e. 3.50 ml/s (80% dosage), 1.75 ml/s (20% dosage), 3.50 ml/s (40 ml normal saline). Revolution CT scanner was used for energy spectrum scanning. Quantitative parameters, qualitative visual parameters and radiation dose were compared between the two groups. Wilcoxon test, t test, χ 2 test and Mann-Whitney U test were used.Results:
The dosage of iodine contrast agent in the study group [(94.53±16.02) ml] was lower than that in the control group [(106.40±20.19) ml, t=2.257, P<0.05]. The injection speed of the control group was higher than that of the study group (4.00 ml/s and 3.15 ml/s). CT values of portal vein, hepatic vein, inferior vena cava, and hepatic parenchyma, signal to noise ratio, contrast noise ratio, CT dose index, dose length product, effective dose and subjective scores showed no significant differences between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).Conclusion:
For patients with BCS, high quality images could be obtained to meet the requirement of diagnosis in hepatic vein system CT angiography using high concentration iodine contrast agent (400 mg/ml) with low dosage of contrast agent and low flow rate.
