Abstract

A multiphase 4DCT technique can be useful for the detection of parathyroid adenomas. Up to 16 different phases can be obtained without significant increase of exposure dose using wide beam axial scanning. This technique also allows for the calculation of perfusion parameters in suspected lesions. We present data on 19 patients with histologically proven parathyroid adenomas. We find a strong correlation between 2 perfusion parameters when comparing parathyroid adenomas and thyroid tissue: parathyroid adenomas show a 55% increase in blood flow (BF) (p < 0.001) and a 50% increase in blood volume (BV) (p < 0.001) as compared to normal thyroid tissue. The analysis of the ROC curve for the different perfusion parameters demonstrates a significantly high area under the curve for BF and BV, confirming these two perfusion parameters to be a possible discriminating tool to discern between parathyroid adenomas and thyroid tissue. These findings can help to discern parathyroid from thyroid tissue and may aid in the detection of parathyroid adenomas.

甲状旁腺腺瘤和甲状腺在多期4DCT上的相对灌注差异

多期4DCT技术可用于甲状旁腺瘤的检测。使用宽束轴向扫描可以在不显著增加暴露剂量的情况下获得多达16个不同的相位。该技术还可以计算疑似病变的灌注参数。我们报告了19例经组织学证实的甲状旁腺瘤患者的资料。当比较甲状旁腺腺瘤和甲状腺组织时，我们发现两个灌注参数之间有很强的相关性:与正常甲状腺组织相比，甲状旁腺瘤的血流量(BF)增加55% (p < 0.001)，血容量(BV)增加50% (p < 0.001)。不同灌注参数的ROC曲线分析显示BF和BV的曲线下面积明显高，证实这两个灌注参数可能是区分甲状旁腺瘤和甲状腺组织的鉴别工具。这些发现有助于从甲状腺组织中区分甲状旁腺，并可能有助于甲状旁腺瘤的检测。
