摘要
目的:比较1 mm和5 mm层厚胸部ct在ct严重程度评分和ct评价时间对COVID-19诊断的价值。材料和方法:研究组纳入65例COVID-19逆转录聚合酶链反应阳性并进行胸部计算机断层扫描的患者。1毫米和5毫米的重建图像由2名有资格的普通放射科医生在2个不同的疗程中评估,间隔4周。记录与COVID-19相关的发现、COVID-19的最终类别和评估时间。对这些变量进行薄切片和厚切片的比较,并使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS for Windows)计算读者间信度。结果:胸腔ct 1-mm片与5-mm片除出现狂铺样、微血管肿大、间隔增厚外,无明显差异。计算机断层扫描结果的最终分类频率在厚片和薄片之间是一致的。5 mm切片的ct评估时间明显缩短。阅读器间再现性分析结果表明,阅读器之间的测量具有良好的再现性。结论:与1 mm切片相比,5 mm胸部ct重建厚度可用于COVID-19相关症状的初步发现和最终诊断类别相关的COVID-19,可更快获得结果,有利于大流行医院。
Comparison of Different Slice Thicknesses on Chest Computed Tomography for Evaluation of COVID-19- Associated Pneumonia.
Objective: To compare the value of chest computed tomography at 1-mm and 5-mm slice thickness in terms of computed tomography severity score and computed tomography evaluation time in the diagnosis of COVID-19.
Material and methods: Sixty-five patients were included in the study group who are reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction-positive for COVID-19 and had chest computed tomography. The 1 mm and 5 mm reconstructed images were evaluated in 2 different sessions with 4-week intervals by 2 certificated general radiologists. The presence of COVID-19-related findings, COVID-19 final category, and evaluation time were recorded. Thin and thick slices were compared for these variables and inter-reader reliability calculated with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows.
Results: There was no significant difference between the COVID-19-related findings on thorax computed tomography between 1-mm and 5-mm slices except crazy paving appearance, microvascular enlargement, and septal thickening. The frequency of the final categories of computed tomography results was consistent between the thick and thin slices. The computed tomography assessment time was significantly lower in 5 mm slices. The inter-reader reproducibility analysis results demonstrated good and excellent reproducibility of measurements between readers for both slice thicknesses.
Conclusion: It was found that 5-mm reconstruction thickness of chest computed tomography can be employed for the initial detection of COVID-19-related findings and the final diagnostic category-related COVID-19 rather than 1-mm slices with a faster availability of results which can be beneficial on pandemic hospitals.
期刊介绍:
Turkish Thoracic Journal (Turk Thorac J) is the double-blind, peer-reviewed, open access, international publication organ of Turkish Thoracic Society. The journal is a quarterly publication, published on January, April, July, and October and its publication language is English. Turkish Thoracic Journal started its publication life following the merger of two journals which were published under the titles “Turkish Respiratory Journal” and “Toraks Journal” until 2007. Archives of both journals were passed on to the Turkish Thoracic Journal. The aim of the journal is to convey scientific developments and to create a dynamic discussion platform about pulmonary diseases. With this intent, the journal accepts articles from all related scientific areas that address adult and pediatric pulmonary diseases, as well as thoracic imaging, environmental and occupational disorders, intensive care, sleep disorders and thoracic surgery. Clinical and research articles, reviews, statements of agreement or disagreement on controversial issues, national and international consensus reports, abstracts and comments of important international articles, interesting case reports, writings related to clinical and practical applications, letters to the editor, and editorials are accepted.
