摘要
目的探讨低剂量CT(LDCT)与迭 代重建技术在健康体检筛查早期肺癌中 的可行性。方法 将600例健康体检者随机 分为常规剂量CT组和LDCT组,分别进行 常规剂量肺CT(120kV,150mAs)扫描和低 剂量肺CT(120kV,30mAs)扫描,采用迭代 重建技术对LDCT扫描图像进行重建,比 较两组主观图像质量,客观图像质量参 数(噪声、CT值、SNR),辐射剂量参数 (CTDIvol、DLP、ED)及肺结节检出率。结 果 两组纵隔窗、肺窗主观图像质量均能 满足诊断要求,两组比较差异无统计学意 义(P>0.05);LDCT组图像噪声略高于常规 剂量CT组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05); 但两组CT值、SNR比较,差异均无统计学 意义(P>0.05)。LDCT组CTDIvol、DLP、ED 均显著低于常规剂量CT组,差异均有统计 学意义(P<0.01)。两组受检者肺结节及早 期肺癌检出率比较,差异无统计学意义 (P>0.05)。结论 LDCT结合迭代重建技术 能获得较好的图像质量,且有效降低辐射 剂量,对早期肺癌的筛查具有重要的临床 应用潜力。
Objective To investigate the feasibility of low-dose CT (LDCT) imaging combined with iterative reconstruction technique for lung cancer early detection in healthy physical examination. Methods A total of 600 cases of healthy subjects were randomly divided into routine dose CT group and LDCT group, and the routine dose CT group was scanned with 120 kV and 150 mAs, LDCT group was scanned with 120 kV and 30 mAs. The LDCT scan image was reconstructed using iterative reconstruction techniques. The subjective image quality, objective image quality parameters (noise, CT value, SNR), radiation dose parameters (CTDIvol, DLP, ED) and lung nodule detection rate were compared between the two groups. Results The subjective image quality of the two groups of mediastinal window and lung window could meet the diagnostic requirements, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The image noise of LDCT group was slightly higher than that of routine dose CT group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), but the CT value and SNR between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The CTDIvol, DLP and ED of LDCT group were significantly lower than those of routine dose CT group (P <0.01). The detection rate of lung nodules and early lung cancer in the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion LDCT combined with iterative reconstruction technique could obtain better image quality, and decrease X-ray radiation dose. It had important clinical potential for the early detection of lung cancer.

前言
肺癌是当今世界范围内三大常见恶性肿瘤之一,因早期无典型临 床症状,多数患者发现症状时已属中晚期,错过了最佳治疗时机,5 年生存率仅为16%;而早期肺癌(ⅠA期)经治疗5年生存率可达73%[1], 因此开展早期肺癌筛查对延长患者生命有重要意义。CT是肺癌早期筛 查的有效手段,其对肺结节的检出能力明显优于X线胸片[2],但其潜 在的辐射危害性却限制了它成为早期肺癌筛查的常规工具。低剂量CT (Low-dose CT,LDCT)是一种通过降低管电流来实现降低辐射剂量的影 像新技术,虽然实现了降低辐射剂量的目的,但同时也增加了图像噪 声,使图像的分辨率下降[3],如何在降低辐射剂量的基础上最大限度 地确保图像质量成为国内外放射学医师面临的重要课题。本研究采用 迭代重建技术对LDCT扫描所获得的原始数据进行重建,通过与常规CT 所获得的图像质量进行比较,旨在探讨LDCT结合迭代重建技术在健康 体检筛查早期肺癌中的应用价值。
