Radiation dose reduction in perfusion CT imaging of the brain using a 256-slice CT: 80 mAs versus 160 mAs

Abstract

Purpose To examine CTP of the brain in real patient data after reducing tube current down to 80 mAs to decrease radiation dose.Methods CTP was acquired in 60 suspected stroke patients with 80 (n: 30) or 160 (n: 30) mAs. Data were analyzed retrospectively by two independent readers. SNR, perfusion maps and image quality were compared in hypoperfused and non-affected areas.Results SNR was significantly higher in CTP with 160 mAs compared to 80 mAs (p < 0.001) in non-affected regions, but there was no significant difference in hypoperfused regions. Overall, images with 80 mAs were rated worse than the ones with 160 mAs (3.0 ± 0.7 versus 4.0 ± 0.7), however, still as sufficient to detect proximal vessel occlusions.Conclusion Tube current of 80 mAs is still sufficient for the detection of perfusion deficits of proximal vessel occlusions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
