摘要

Abstract Objectives To suggest an optimal energy level of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) in dual-energy CT arthrography of the wrist. Methods This retrospective study included 53 patients with wrist CT arthrography. Conventional polychromatic images and VMIs at four energy levels (40 to 70 keV at 10 keV intervals) were obtained. Image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured, and qualitative analysis of image quality and diagnostic confidence was performed. For each patient, an energy level with the best image quality was chosen by consensus. Comparisons of quantitative and qualitative parameters between VMI sets were performed. Results The image noise of bone and muscle were increased with decreasing energy level (p < 0.001). The noise of contrast was highest on 60 keV VMI. SNR and CNR (between contrast and muscle) were increased with decreasing energy level and were markedly increased between 60 and 50 keV (p < 0.001). The 60 keV VMI demonstrated the highest image quality and diagnostic confidence, chosen as the best diagnostic image (n = 31/53). Given that the attenuation of the contrast material was low on the conventional image, the optimal energy level of the best VMI tended to be low. Conclusion Wrist dual-energy CT arthrography with VMIs at 60 keV or less could improve image quality and diagnostic performance by increasing SNR and CNR in cases with low contrast attenuation. Advances in Knowledge Wrist dual-energy CT arthrography with VMIs at variable keV could be utilised to enhance SNR and CNR, thereby achieving diagnostic images of high quality.
