Diagnosis of TIO/PMT is often delayed, and a high index of suspicion is essential in patients with unexplained fractures, but many physicians lack familiarity with TIO/PMT and simply attribute fractures to the more common diagnosis of osteoporosis.

Two patients had lesions localized to the skull base, both of which showed marked hypervascularity on arterial spin label perfusion imaging. Thus, arterial spin label may not only help to localize these tumors, but may also be a helpful supplemental imaging finding in supporting this diagnosis.

In the subset of 25 patients, PCD-CT and EID-CT showed no significant difference in overall image quality for reader 1 (1.0 vs. 1.0, P=0.781) or reader 2 (1.0 vs. 1.0, P=0.817), or artifacts for reader 1 (1.0 vs. 1.0, P=0.688) or reader 2 (1.0 vs. 1.0, P=0.219). After normalizing for radiation dose, image noise was significantly lower with PCD-CT (P<0.001), while CNR in the liver (P=0.244) and portal vein (P=0.079) were comparable to EID-CT.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Abdominopelvic PCD-CT in children significantly reduces radiation dose while maintaining subjective image quality, and accounting for dose levels, has the potential to lower image noise and achieve comparable CNR to EID-CT. These data expand understanding of the capabilities of PCD-CT and support its routine use in children.</p>","PeriodicalId":15402,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143189225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
