Prospective Comparison of Ultra-high-resolution Photon-counting-detector CT Coronary Angiography versus Conventional CT.
Objectives: Determine differences in quantitative stenosis severity measurements for ultra-high-resolution (UHR) photon-counting-detector (PCD) coronary CT angiography (cCTA) relative to energy-integrating-detector (EID) cCTA in a large patient cohort.
Methods: Adult participants seen between November 2022 and March 2023 underwent a clinical dual-source EID-CT cCTA and a research dual-source PCD-CT cCTA on the same day. Percent diameter stenosis (PDS) was measured, and stenosis severity was assigned based on the PDS of the most severe lesion per patient to determine a coronary-artery-disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) score. Agreement between EID-CT and PCD-CT for PDS and CAD-RADS was determined.
Results: A total of 112 participants were enrolled, yielding 82 subjects with at least 1 stenosis at PCD-CT (mean age, 68.0 ± 10.8 years; 69.5% (57/82) males). A total of 177 paired stenoses were quantified. The percent decrease in mean PDS from PCD-CT (24.3%) to EID-CT (29.4%) was 17.3% (median difference in PDS: -5.0%, 95% CI: -5.7% to -4.0%). The assigned CAD-RADS score changed 31/82 times. In 11/31 subjects, the most severe stenosis was missed at EID-CT due to partial volume averaging of a small calcification, yet PCD clearly identified stenosis at those locations. In 20/31 subjects, the CAD-RADS score decreased at PCD-CT due to the decreased calcium blooming resulting from the improved spatial resolution.
Conclusions: UHR PCD cCTA decreases quantitative measures of stenosis severity when a stenosis is identified at EID, leading to decreases in CAD-RADS assignments.
Advances in knowledge: With its improved spatial resolution, PCD-CT identifies stenoses missed on EID-CT.
期刊介绍:
BJR is the international research journal of the British Institute of Radiology and is the oldest scientific journal in the field of radiology and related sciences.
Dating back to 1896, BJR’s history is radiology’s history, and the journal has featured some landmark papers such as the first description of Computed Tomography "Computerized transverse axial tomography" by Godfrey Hounsfield in 1973. A valuable historical resource, the complete BJR archive has been digitized from 1896.
