Optimized dynamic contrast-enhanced cone-beam CT for target visualization during liver SBRT
The pharmacokinetic behavior of iodine contrast agents makes it difficult to achieve significant enhancement during contrast-enhanced cone-beam CT (CE-CBCT). This study modeled this dynamic behavior to optimize CE-CBCT and improve the localization of liver lesions for SBRT. We developed a model that allows for controlled study of changing iodine concentrations using static phantoms. A projectio...
متن کاملContrast enhanced imaging of human meniscus using cone beam CT.
OBJECTIVE Meniscal injuries can lead to mechanical overloading of articular cartilage and eventually to knee osteoarthritis. The objective was to evaluate the potential of contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) to image contrast agent (CA) diffusion in human menisci with a clinical cone beam CT scanner. DESIGN Isolated human menisci (n = 26) were imaged using magnetic resonance imaging ...
متن کاملOptimized Anisotropic Rotational Invariant Diffusion Scheme on Cone-Beam CT
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is an important image modality for dental surgery planning, with high resolution images at a relative low radiation dose. In these scans the mandibular canal is hardly visible, this is a problem for implant surgery planning. We use anisotropic diffusion filtering to remove noise and enhance the mandibular canal in CBCT scans. For the diffusion tensor we use ...
متن کاملAn Individually Optimized Protocol of Contrast Medium Injection in Enhanced CT Scan for Liver Imaging
Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a new individualized contrast medium injection protocol for enhanced liver CT scan. Methods 324 patients who underwent plain and dual phase enhanced liver CT were randomly assigned to 2 groups: G1 (n = 224, individualized contrast medium injection protocol); G2 (n = 100, standard contrast medium injection with a dose of 1.5 ml/kg). CT values and Δ...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced angiographic cone-beam CT of cerebrovascular stents: experimental optimization and clinical application.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE With modern imaging techniques, visualization of neurovascular stents remains challenging. We present a method for contrast-enhanced C-arm CBCT that provides detailed and simultaneous visualization of neurovascular stents and host arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS CBCT was performed with a rotational angiography system by acquiring 620 projection frames over a 200° arc at...
