Abstract
To determine the diagnostic potential of Material Density (MD) iodine images in dual-energy CT (DECT) for visualization and quantification of arterial phase hyperenhancement and washout in hepatocellular carcinomas compared to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The study complied with HIPAA guidelines and was approved by the ethics committee of the institutional review board. Thirty-one patients (23 men, 8 women; age range, 36-87 years) with known or suspected Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) were included. All of them underwent both single-source DECT and MRI within less than 3 months. Late arterial phase and portal venous phase CT imaging was performed with dual energies of 140 and 80 kVp, and virtual monoenergetic images (at 65 keV) and MD-iodine images were generated. We determined the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for HCC in arterial phase and portal venous phase images. In addition, we introduced a new parameter which combines information of CNR in arterial and portal venous phase images into a single ratio (combined CNR). All parameters were assessed on monoenergetic 65 keV images, MD-iodine images, and MRI. Paired t test was used to compare CNR values in Mono-65 keV, MD-iodine, and MR images. CNR was significantly higher i...Continue Reading
