摘要

目的探讨不同心率在640层螺 旋CT冠状动脉CTCA中对血管图像质量的 影响以及辐射剂量变化。方法 选取91例 患者,男性51例,女性40例,平均年龄 58岁。分成三组,A组30例,心率≤65次 /分;B组30例,65次/分<心率≤80次/ 分;C组31例,心率>80次/分。扫描完成 后选取最佳时相进行容积再现(VR)、最大 密度投影(MIP)、多平面重建(MPR)及曲面 重建(CPR)进行血管重建,根据4分法对血 管图像质量分级并进行统计学分析,记录 各组的辐射剂量程度乘积(DLP)。结果 三 组的血管图像质量在可评价比例及优良率 无统计学意义,心率与血管图像质量等级 呈负相关。A组DLP为(3.37±2.12) mGy. cm,B组为(4.78±1.92)mGy.cm,C组为 (6.11±2.79)mGy.cm,三组的辐射剂量有 差异,经检验,有统计学意义,心率与辐 射剂量呈正相关。结论 640层螺旋CT冠状 动脉CTCA在高心率患者能较好的显示图 像,同时辐射剂量也增加,应该在情况允 许的条件下尽可能降低心率至65次/分以 下,在获得优良血管图像质量的同时降低 辐射剂量,有利于冠状动脉CTCA的可持续 发展,以便让更多患者从中获益。

Objective To investigate the influence of heart rate and blood vessel image quality and radiation dose changes in 640 slice spiral CT coronary artery imaging. Methods A total of 91 patients, male 51 cases, female 40 cases, average age is 58 years old. Divided into three groups, 30 cases in group A whose heart rate was equal or greater than 65 beats per minute; 30 cases in group B and the heart rate of them was greater than 65beats per minute but less than 80 beats per minute; 31 cases in group C whose heart rate was greater 80 beats per minute. After the scan completed, the most optimum phase was chosen for volume rendering (VR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), multi planar reconstruction (MPR) and curved planar reconstruction (CPR) to have vascular reconstruction, vascular image quality was classified according to the 4 points method and it was statistically analyzed. We recorded the radiation dose product of each group(DLP). Results The blood vessel image quality evaluation and the excellent and good rate in the proportion of the three groups had no statistical significance, the heart rate was negatively correlated with the quality grade of blood vessel image. A group DLP was (3.37±2.12) mGy.cm, B group was (4.78±1.92) mGy.cm, C group was (6.11±2.79) mGy.cm, radiation dose of three groups was statistically significant, the heart rate is positively correlated with the radiation dose. Conclusion 640 slice spiral CT coronary angiography can show the image better in patients with high heart rate, but also increase the radiation dose, we should reduced heart rate to 65 beats per minute below as far as possible with the condition permitted. To obtain excellent vascular image quality by lower radiation dose at the same time, is conducive to the sustainable development of coronary artery CT angiography imaging, so that more patients can be benefitted from it.

前言

冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病是危害人类的重大疾病,在过去十年 间冠心病及其引起的死亡率及并发症在逐年上升 ,早期诊断冠心病至 关重要。冠状动脉动脉造影是诊断冠心病的金标准,但其为有创性检 查,存在一定的风险[1]。近年来由多排CT的不断发展,使冠状动脉CT 血管成像成为冠心病的早期筛查的一项重要手段,但是存在着较高的 辐射剂量和所引起的生物效应,而且不同心率对图像质量产生一定的 影响,制约冠状动脉CT血管成像(CT coronary artery,CTCA)的发 展。640层容积扫描CT的出现,因其探测器Z轴宽度达160mm,能覆盖整 个心脏,球管旋转一周,即能在一个心动周期内对整个心脏完成数据 采集,从而降低因为心脏跳动而引起的冠脉血管CT成像的图像质量的 影响,同时也有效的降低因连续扫描而引起辐射剂量的升高。本文选 取91例患者,探讨在640层螺旋CT容积扫描中不同心率对冠状动脉血管 图像质量的影响,以及所引起的辐射剂量的变化,意在分析640层CT容 积扫描在冠状动脉CTCA中的价值所在。
