Abstract
A 74-year-old man with bronchial carcinoma underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) due to poor pulmonary function. Therefore non-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the chest was performed on two subsequent days. Besides the tumor, the CT scans showed a moving calcification in the pleural cavity. This extremely rare condition called thoracolithiasis is usually an incidental finding. Mostly it is asymptomatic and does not require any treatment. It should be considered as a differential diagnosis of a peripheral pulmonary nodule.

Abstract
PURPOSE Usefulness of biexponentially fitted signal attenuation at different b-values for differentiating the histological characteristics of renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 patients with 28 renal masses (histologically proven: 20 clear cell renal cell carcinomas [ccRCC], three transitional cell carcinomas, two oncocytomas, and one papillary RCC) and 30 volunteers with healthy kidneys were examined at 1.5 Tesla using an echo-planar DWI sequence. Using the IVIM model, we calculated the perfusion fraction f and the diffusion coefficient D. Furthermore, the ADC was obtained. These tumor parameters were compared to healthy renal tissue nonparametrically, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed. RESULTS Healthy renal parenchyma showed higher ADC and D values (p<0.001) than ccRCC (ADC 1.95±0.10 [SD] μm2/ms, f 18.32±2.52%, and D 1.88±0.11 μm2/ms versus ADC 1.45±0.38 μm2/ms, f 18.59±6.16%, and D 1.34±0.38 μm2/ms). When detecting malignancies the area under the curve for D was higher than for ADC. The f values for ccRCC were higher (p<0.001) than for non-ccRCC (ADC 1.52±0.47 μm2/ms, f 8.44±1.24%, and D 1.30±0.18 μm2/ms). Both f and D correlated with ccRCC grading. CONCLUSION IVIM imaging is able to provide reliable diffusion values in the human kidney and may enhance the accuracy of tumor diagnosis. The D value was the best parameter to distinguish renal tumors from healthy renal tissue. The f value is promising for determining the histological subgroups.

Abstract
PURPOSE To prospectively evaluate whether intravenous morphine co-medication improves bile duct visualization of dual-energy CT-cholangiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty potential donors for living-related liver transplantation underwent CT-cholangiography with infusion of a hepatobiliary contrast agent over 40 min. Twenty minutes after the beginning of the contrast agent infusion, either normal saline (n=20 patients; control group [CG]) or morphine sulfate (n=20 patients; morphine group [MG]) was injected. Forty-five minutes after initiation of the contrast agent, a dual-energy CT acquisition of the liver was performed. Applying dual-energy post-processing, pure iodine images were generated. Primary study goals were determination of bile duct diameters and visualization scores (on a scale of 0 to 3: 0--not visualized; 3--excellent visualization). RESULTS Bile duct visualization scores for second-order and third-order branch ducts were significantly higher in the MG compared to the CG (2.9±0.1 versus 2.6±0.2 [P<0.001] and 2.7±0.3 versus 2.1±0.6 [P<0.01], respectively). Bile duct diameters for the common duct and main ducts were significantly higher in the MG compared to the CG (5.9±1.3 mm versus 4.9±1.3 mm [P<0.05] and 3.7±1.3 mm versus 2.6±0.5 mm [P<0.01], respectively). CONCLUSION Intravenous morphine co-medication significantly improved biliary visualization on dual-energy CT-cholangiography in potential donors for living-related liver transplantation.

Dual-energy, standard and low-kVp contrast-enhanced CT-cholangiography: a comparative analysis of image quality and radiation exposure. Eur J Radiol 2011; 81:1405-12. [PMID: 21458939 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2011.03.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2010] [Revised: 02/28/2011] [Accepted: 03/03/2011] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quantitative image quality assessment in terms of image noise (IN), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in relation to required radiation dose (RD) for dual-energy (DE), standard and low-kVp contrast-enhanced computed-tomography (CT) cholangiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS For each of 22 DECT-cholangiography examinations, 3 image datasets were analyzed as independent single-source CT-acquisitions at different tube potential, i.e. 80 kVp, 120 kVp-equivalent (linear blended dataset M0.3: 30% 80 kVp, 70% 140 kVp), and 140 kVp. Analysis comprised determination of IN, CNR and SNR in regions of interest (ROI) placed in liver parenchyma and contrasted bile ducts. IN was evaluated as mean standard deviation of 3 ROI placed within liver parenchyma (segments 6/7, 5/8, 2/3); CNR was assessed as bile duct-to-liver parenchyma ratio, and SNR as bile duct-to-image noise ratio. RD in terms of CT dose index (CTDI(vol)), dose-length product (DLP) and effective dose (ED) has been determined for each of the datasets, and compared to console prediction and scan summary values. Using phantom measurements of CTDI(vol), a method for separating comprehensive RD values of DE-acquisitions into the original RD contribution of each tube (80 kVp/140 kVp) has been developed, enabling comparison of all 3 datasets as if independently acquired using single-source "single-energy" technique. RESULTS Highest IN was detected for 80 kVp- (38.6 ± 5.1HU), lowest for 120 kVp-equivalent linear blended M0.3-datasets (23.1 ± 3.4HU) with significant differences between all datasets (P<0.001). Highest SNR and CNR were measured for M0.3- (SNR: 14.8 ± 4.1; CNR: 11.6 ± 3.8) and 80 kVp-datasets (SNR: 13.8 ± 4.8; CNR: 11.2 ± 4.5); lowest for 140 kVp-datasets (SNR: 9.5 ± 2.5; CNR: 7.1 ± 2.3) with significant differences between M0.3- and 140 kVp-datasets as well as between 80 kVp- and 140 kVp-datasets (both P<0.001 for both CNR, SNR). CTDI(vol), DLP and ED were reduced by 50% for low-kilovoltage acquisitions (CTDI(vol): 5.5 ± 1.4 mGy; DLP: 127.8 ± 40.1 mGy cm; ED: 1.9 ± 0.6 mSv) compared to comprehensive DE-acquisitions (CTDI(vol): 11.0 ± 2.3 mGy; DLP: 253.8 ± 67.5 mGy cm; ED: 3.8 ± 1.0 mSv, tube contribution: 80 kVp: 44.5%; 140 kVp: 55.5%), and by 20% compared to conventional acquisitions at 120 kVp (CTDI(vol): 6.71 mGy; DLP: 153.5 ± 16.9 mGy cm; ED: 2.3 ± 0.3 mSv). CONCLUSIONS Despite higher IN, low-kilovoltage CT-cholangiography reveals no significant difference with respect to CNR and SNR when compared to linear blended images yielded by DECT. Compared to DECT or conventional CT at 120 kVp, contrast-enhanced low-kVp CT cholangiography potentially allows reduction of patient dose by up to 50% or 20%, respectively. Therefore, CT-cholangiography at 80 kVp should be considered as an alternative to DECT-cholangiography whenever DECT is unavailable, or if increased image quality of DECT regarding quantitative bile duct evaluation is not needed for diagnosis.
