ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The challenge of early and rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) remains important. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) iodine maps for diagnosing PJI in total hip arthroplasty.

METHODS:

We prospectively enrolled 68 patients who had postoperative joint pain after hip arthroplasty. All patients underwent preoperative DECT iodine imaging to quantify iodine concentration (IC) in periprosthetic tissues during arterial and venous phases. The diagnostic efficacy of DECT iodine maps was evaluated by constructing receiver operating characteristic curves according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria.

RESULTS:

Compared with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.837), polymorphonuclear cell percentage (AUC = 0.703), and C-reactive protein (AUC = 0.837), periprosthetic tissue venous-phase IC (AUC = 0.970) and arterial-phase IC (AUC = 0.964) exhibited outstanding discriminative capability between PJI and aseptic failure. The PJI cut-off point was venous IC = 1.225 mg/mL, with a sensitivity of 92.31% and specificity of 90.48%; for arterial IC = 1.065 mg/mL, the sensitivity was 96.15% and specificity was 90.70%.

CONCLUSIONS:

This study demonstrates the great potential of DECT iodine maps for the diagnosis of PJI around hip arthroplasty, which helps to differentiate between periprosthetic infection and aseptic failure after hip arthroplasty.
