Ultra-high-resolution CT of the temporal bone: Comparison between deep learning reconstruction and hybrid and model-based iterative reconstruction
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of ultra-high-resolution computed tomography (UHR-CT) to assess stapes and chorda tympani nerve anatomy using a deep learning (DLR), a model-based, and a hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithm compared to simulated conventional CT.
Materials and methods
CT acquisitions were performed with a Mercury 4.0 phantom. Images were acquired with a 1024 × 1024 matrix and a 0.25 mm slice thickness and reconstructed using DLR, model-based, and hybrid iterative reconstruction algorithms. To simulate conventional CT, images were also reconstructed with a 512 × 512 matrix and a 0.5 mm slice thickness. Spatial resolution, noise power spectrum, and objective high-contrast detectability were compared. Three radiologists evaluated the clinical acceptability of these algorithms by assessing the thickness and image quality of the stapes footplate and superstructure elements, as well as the image quality of the chorda tympani nerve bony and tympanic segments using a 5-point confidence scale on 13 temporal bone CT examinations reconstructed with the four algorithms.
Results
UHR-CT provided higher spatial resolution than simulated conventional CT at the penalty of higher noise. DLR and model-based iterative reconstruction provided better noise reduction than hybrid iterative reconstruction, and DLR had the highest detectability index, regardless of the dose level. All stapedial structure thicknesses were thinner using UHR-CT by comparison with conventional simulated CT (P < 0.009). DLR showed the best visualization scores compared to the other reconstruction algorithms (P < 0.032).
Conclusion
UHR-CT with DLR results in less noise than UHR-CT with hybrid iterative reconstruction and significantly improves stapes and tympanic chorda tympani nerve depiction compared to simulated conventional CT and UHR-CT with iterative reconstruction.
