One-stop scanning of head and neck arteries and the aorta using 256-slice spiral CT
Objective:To investigate the feasibility of one-stop scanning of head and neck arteries and the aorta. Methods:A retro-spective analysis was performed for 40 patients who underwent head and neck computed tomography(CT) angiography(CTA) and thoracic and abdominal CTA. These patients were divided into group A and group B according to the scanning method. Group A underwent one-stop scanning of head and neck arteries and the thoracic and abdominal aorta,while group B underwent head and neck CTA and thoracic and abdominal CTA separately. Subjective scoring and objective statistical analysis were performed on the images obtained in the two groups. Results:CTA images of both groups met the diagnostic requirements. There was no significant difference in CT value between the two groups(P>0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR) or standard deviation(SD) of the aortic arch,the abdominal aorta,and the common iliac artery(P>0.05). Compared with group A,group B had significantly higher CNR of the middle cerebral artery,the vertebral artery,and the common carotid artery and significantly lower SD of these arteries(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in SD of the aortic arch,the abdominal aorta,and the common iliac artery between the two groups(P>0.05). Group A had a significantly lower dose of contrast agent than group B(104.70±10.62) mL vs. (146.10±12.48) mL,t=-11.297,P<0.001]. Conclusion:Head and neck CTA combined with thoracic and abdominal CTA can meet the needs for diagnosis,reduce examination times and the dose of contrast agent,and optimize the examination process.
