초록

하지 동맥 전산화단층촬영(CT) 검사 시 생리식염수 희석을 통한 조영제 사용량 감소의 효용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 조영제 125 cc 주입한 48명과 같은 양을 조영제와 생리 식염수를 7:3으로 주입한 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 각각의 영상에서 복부대동맥, 넙다리동맥, 오금동맥, 뒤정강동맥의 감쇄계수(HU)의 평균값과 신호 대 잡음비(SNR)를 정량적으로 평가 하였고, 정성적 평가는 영상의학과 전문의 2명, 방사선사 4명이 5점 척도로 4가지 평가항목을 평가하였다. 정량적 평가에서 HU와 SNR 모두 희석 전 평균값이 높게 나왔으나 독립표본 T검정에서 유의확률이 모두 p>0.05이므로 희석 전, 후의 통계적으로 유의성이 없다. 정성적 평가는 평균점수가 원액이 4.86~4.77, 희석액이 4.83~4.67로 차이가 있었으나, 유의확률이 모두 p>0.05이므로 희석 전, 후의 통계적으로 유의성이 없다. CT 하지동맥 조영 검사 시 일정 비율 희석한 조영제를 사용하여 기존 영상의 질을 유지 할 수 있고, 조영제의 총량을 줄여 단위 분자 당 요오드 함량이 낮아지므로 조영제로 인한 부작용을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This convergence study analyzed the effectiveness of contrast agent reduction by normal saline solution dilution in the computed tomography of arteries of lower limb. 48 patients of 125 cc contrast agent and 30 patients of the same amount divided at a ratio of 7:3 for the contrast agent and normal saline solution were studied. The average attenuation coefficient(HU) and signal to noise ratio(SNR) of abdominal aorta, femoral artery, popliteal artery and posterior tibial artery at each image were evaluated quantitatively and the four criteria in the five point scale was conducted qualitatively by two radiologists and four radiological technologists. In the quantitative evaluation, both HU and SNR had high average score before dilation but there were no statistical significance by independent t-test(p>0.05). In the qualitative evaluation, there were a little differences in the average scores between 4.86~4.77 of original contrast agent and 4.83~4.67 of dilated contrast agent but there were no statistical significance(p>0.05). In the computed tomography of arteries of lower limb, the dilated contrast agent doesn't influence image quality and reduces overall contrast agent and lowers iodine content per unit of molecular therefore will contribute to decrease side effect of contrast agent.
