초록

목적: 동일한 방사선량에서 모델기반 반복재구성법(이하 MBIR)을 사용한 80 kVp와 120 kVp의 전산화단층 정맥조영술(이하 CTV) 영상 품질에 대해 비교하였다. 대상과 방법: 동일한 방사선량에서 MBIR을 사용하여 80 kVp (36명, 1군) 또는 120 kVp (33명, 2군)로 하여 CTV를 시행한 환자 69명을 대상으로 하여, 두 명의 영상의학과 의사가 독립적으로 객관적 그리고 주관적 영상 품질 평가를 수행하였다. 결과: 평균 혈관 조영과 신호대잡음비는 하대정맥, 대퇴정맥, 오금정맥에서 2군보다 1군에서 유의하게 높았고, 객관적 영상 잡음은 1군에서 유의하게 낮았다(p < 0.001). 주관적 평가에서 1군의 영상 질이 유의하게 높았고, 영상 잡음은 2군에서 유의하게 높았다(p < 0.001). 평균 선량길이곱은 2군($370.1{\pm}77.1mGy\;cm$)보다 1군($356.1{\pm}153.7mGy\;cm$)이 더 낮았지만, 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p = 0.635). 결론: 동일한 방사선량에서 MBIR을 사용한 80 kVp CTV의 영상이 120 kVp CTV 영상보다 우수하다.

Purpose: To compare image qualities of 80 kVp CT venography (CTV) and 120 kVp CTV by model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) at the same radiation dose. Materials and Methods: Sixty-nine patients that underwent CTV using 80 kVp (36 patients, group 1) or 120 kVp (33 patients, group 2) with MBIR at the same radiation dose were enrolled, and objective and subjective image qualities were assessed independently by two radiologists. Results: Mean vascular enhancement and contrast-to-noise ratio were significantly higher in group 1 than in group 2 for inferior vena cavas, femoral veins, and popliteal veins (p < 0.001), and there was significantly lower objective image noise in group 1 (p < 0.001). Subjective analysis revealed image quality was significantly higher in group 1 and image noise was significantly higher in group 2 (p < 0.001). Mean dose-length products was not significantly lower in group 1 ($356.1{\pm}153.7mGy\;cm$) than in group 2 ($370.1{\pm}77.1mGy\;cm$) (p = 0.635). Conclusion: CTV at 80 kVp with MBIR is a better protocol than CTV at 120 kVp with MBIR at the same radiation dose.
