Moderate stenosis of the left ICA. 38, No. To reduce the risk of artificial vessel lumen reduction, the optimal contact interface between vessels and bone is determined adaptively. In cases of sinus thrombosis, small thrombi may be undetected with surface rendering and MIP due to collateral contrast material flow or dural enhancement. 9, 1 October 2009 | RadioGraphics, Vol. 4, 10 February 2014 | Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, Vol. The effects of manipulating the trapezoids on the final image can be observed nearly in real time. The term isotope angiography has also been used, although this more correctly is referred to … (c, d) Volume-rendered images created with the one-dimensional transfer function technique (c) and from segmented data with a high-opacity setting (d) provide the best 3D representation but do not show the thrombosed parts of the lesion. (b) On a volume-rendered image from CT angiography, parts of the ICAs are hidden. 04, 15 September 2016 | Insights into Imaging, Vol. 4, American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. Attempts are made to correct these shifts with iterative registration routines and local subtraction (,36). Cerebral Angiography Cerebral angiography uses a catheter, x-ray imaging guidance and an injection of contrast material to examine blood vessels in the brain for abnormalities such as aneurysms and disease such as atherosclerosis (plaque). Contrast helps certain areas show up better on x-rays. How the Test is Performed With 16–detector row CT at a collimated section width of 0.75 mm, a pitch of 1.5, and a rotation time of 0.5 second, the same range can be covered in 3 seconds, well beyond the arteriovenous transit time. Objective: To investigate the application of low radiation and contrast dose spectral CT angiology using rapid kV-switching technique in the head and neck with subtraction method for bone removal. ROI = region of interest. (b) Sagittal MPR image. A computer creates many separate images of the body area, called slices. CT stands for computed tomography. 6, 1 September 2015 | Acta Radiologica, Vol. 4, Radiologic Clinics of North America, Vol. Figure 15. Enter your email address below and we will send you your username, If the address matches an existing account you will receive an email with instructions to retrieve your username. This is usually done by thresholding. For bone subtraction CT angiography, nonenhanced and contrast-enhanced spiral CT data sets are required. Advances in multidetector CT (MDCT) technology with submillimeter slice collimation and high temporal resolution permit contrast-enhanced imaging of coronary arteries and coronary plaque during a single breath hold. Without further interaction, bone and plaque calcifications are removed from the image. 1, 1 September 2011 | Radiology, Vol. 7, 30 November 2015 | The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, Vol. Since algorithms in volume rendering tools are not uniform, measurements of the same data may reveal inconsistent results on different workstations. This structure clearly demonstrates tissue boundaries as parabolic arcs. Large vascular malformation with significant arteriovenous shunting. CT angiography is usually the first choice for evaluating cerebral aneurysms. Review provided by VeriMed Healthcare Network. As only one scan is employed, movement is irrelevant for 2D transfer function volume rendering. 7, American Journal of Roentgenology, Vol. A variant of MPR is curved planar reformation. Segments with a relevant stenosis always need to be reevaluated with adapted cross-sectional images in order to exclude exaggeration of stenosis by local misregistration or an inadequate bone mask. 5, 10 January 2014 | Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, Vol. (c) MPR image aligned perpendicular to the vessel optimally depicts the residual lumen (solid arrow) and plaque calcification (dotted arrow). Predefined tissue boundary templates can be interactively placed and adjusted over the corresponding 2D histogram with immediate feedback on volume-rendered images. Three-dimensional models of the head and neck area can be created by stacking the slices together. These images can be stored, viewed on a monitor, or printed on film. NB: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. 79, No. Superimposition of vessels leads to artificially altered lumen margins, and pathologic conditions may be hidden. 85, No. CT angiography was improved substantially by increasing scan speed and decreasing section thickness and emerged as a powerful tool in neurovascular imaging. Figure 18b. The dilated volume is repeatedly checked for the presence of vessels, and if no vessels are found, the mask is kept expanded and the corresponding voxels are set to a CT value of −1024 HU; otherwise, the corresponding nonenhanced CT voxels are locally subtracted (,Fig 12) (,16). 31, No. CT angiography (CTA) combines a CT scan with the injection of dye. 9, 19 March 2009 | American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. After registration, an initial bone mask is defined in the nonenhanced CT volume by means of thresholding. (a, b) Volume-rendered images created without shading at low opacity (a) and high opacity (b) show accentuated vessel boundaries. 3, No. Figure 19b. MIP images are created by displaying only the highest attenuation value from the data encountered by a ray cast through an object to the viewer’s eye (,5,,6). (d) Volume-rendered image created with 2D transfer functions shows similar results. The short scan times of 64–detector row scanners allow arterial phase imaging with clearly different attenuation values of arteries and veins, while marked venous enhancement is likely to occur with four– to 16–detector row CT. Venous enhancement is not a crucial factor in the detection of cerebral aneurysms, except for extensive enhancement of the cavernous sinus. Certain exams require a special dye, called contrast, to be delivered into the body before the test starts. MRI of the brain and/or cervical spine occasionally identifies a source of angiogram-negative acute SAH such as a thrombosed aneurysm, cavernous malformation, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, or spinal vascular malformation, but the overall diagnostic yield is low. Figure 13. CT venography is a technique employed in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis. 07, No. The ICA calcification complicates analysis of the residual lumen with automatic and manual procedures. Interactive MPR and thin-slab MIP are suited to analysis of feeding and draining vessels, but the 3D presentation is limited. 8, The British Journal of Radiology, Vol. (c) On an image created with a low-opacity setting, the sinus is transparent, thus allowing visualization of the vessel boundary. Image created with segmentation shows punched-out defects (arrows) at vessel-bone contact areas. Figure 20b. Note.—The results should always be double-checked with interactive MPR imaging. (d) Volume-rendered image created with the transfer function shifted toward higher Hounsfield unit values results in reduced caliber of the visualized vessels. If bone or calcifications are within the projection ray, these structures are represented on the MIP image instead of the contrast-enhanced vessel because of higher attenuation values. Figure 10a. You may be told to hold your breath for short periods of time. Imaging can be performed from the aortic arch through the head. CT stands for computed tomography. (c) On a volume-rendered image created with shading, the 3D impression is improved but edge definition is reduced. 1, 17 November 2015 | Australasian Physical & Engineering Sciences in Medicine, Vol. Figure 19c. Open arrow = air, open arrowhead = soft tissue, solid arrowhead = vessels, solid arrow = osseous tissue. The walls of the branches of the intradural cerebral arteries are rarely calcified; therefore, detection of lumen narrowing can be performed with MIP or volume rendering. CT angiography (CTA) combines a CT scan with the injection of dye. Abnormal blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation). Effect of various threshold values on threshold-based definition of the lumen boundary. In recent years, rapid advances in computed tomographic (CT) technology and image postprocessing software have been made. Therefore, bone elimination techniques are essential for processing vascular MIP images. 6, 13 October 2015 | Acta Radiologica, Vol. 160, No. (c) Thin-slab MIP image shows the clip and beam-hardening artifacts. Figure 5a. 1 – 11 Although it provides 3D anatomic information on vascular structures that is useful for diagnosis and surgical strategy planning, it does not allow visualization of the hemodynamic status of intracranial vessels. (a) On an image created with one-dimensional transfer functions, vessels and bone cannot be well differentiated because of an overlap in the attenuations of these structures. The most widely used techniques are multiplanar reformation (MPR), thin-slab maximum intensity projection, and volume rendering. Follow-up after clipping of an aneurysm. 1, Annals of Plastic Surgery, Vol. 26, 3 January 2017 | Nano Research, Vol. Typical in-plane resolution with application of a CT angiography protocol (64 × 0.6-mm detector configuration, 120 kV, 140 mAs [effective], field of view of 120 mm, medium sharp convolution kernel) is 0.6–0.7 mm and through-plane resolution is 0.5–0.7 mm, thus providing isotropic data. 2, 6 January 2010 | American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. As with MIP, bone elimination techniques have to be applied to extract the vascular structures. 1, Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, Vol. Individual timing of contrast material injection (bolus tracking or test bolus injection) is mandatory to take advantage of phase-resolved image acquisition. (c) MPR image aligned perpendicular to the vessel optimally depicts the residual lumen (solid arrow) and plaque calcification (dotted arrow). 2nd ed. (a) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography (view from above) shows a simulated occlusion of the right distal ICA (C7) and proximal anterior (A1) and medial (M1) cerebral arteries. Manual measurement of the lumen on source or transversely oriented MPR images is easy to standardize and shows excellent interobserver agreement (,33,,34,,37); thus, it should be employed routinely. (c) Thin-slab MIP image shows the clip and beam-hardening artifacts. The reconstruction algorithm (convolution kernel) influences the spatial resolution in plane. The corresponding 2D histogram is used as background of the working area, so the user gets visual information about voxels belonging to vessels in the CT angiography data. This is particularly true for evaluating neurovascular disease. Figure 1a. *TF = transfer function, VR = volume rendering. Test bolus injection is the alternative to assess the individual circulation time. Lighting effects enhance the appreciation of spatial relationships between structures. A particular problem in threshold-based segmentation algorithms are areas with close contact of two tissue types with comparable attenuation, such as bone and contrast-enhanced vessels (course of the ICA through the skull base; intraforaminal sections of the vertebral artery) (,Fig 6) (,15,,16). (c) MPR image aligned perpendicular to the vessel optimally depicts the residual lumen (solid arrow) and plaque calcification (dotted arrow). (a) MIP image from bone subtraction CT angiography shows the full extents of the stenoses. Volume-rendered (top left) and MIP (bottom left) images created after repetitive registration of subvolumes (,28) show optimized bone removal. 3, 21 September 2011 | Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, Vol. The arteries in the lungs , kidneys , brain and legs can then be examined. (a, b) Volume-rendered images created without shading at low opacity (a) and high opacity (b) show accentuated vessel boundaries. CT angiography is used to assess anatomy, and to depict the presence, location and extent of calcified and non-calcified plaque as a cause of high grade stenosis. 1, Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, Vol. Bone subtraction CT angiography is a robust method of bone elimination, not requiring user interaction. On the basis of these features, an editor for the creation and adjustment of 2D transfer functions was developed (,24). 88, No. our informations reference was the explanation of Mr. Kmal, the supervisor of CT department in KKUH, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Slideshare uses cookies to improve functionality and performance, and to provide you with relevant advertising. 12, No. (e, f) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography (e) and image from digital subtraction angiography (f) show that the lesion has no feeding vessels from the ICA (inset). (b) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography shows the vessels clearly. 2, 7 December 2010 | Vascular Medicine, Vol. 47, No. CT angiography (CTA) combines a CT scan with the injection of dye. 249, No. No editing is required, but only 2D views can be generated, which may complicate 3D imagination (,Fig 2,,). (e, f) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography (e) and image from digital subtraction angiography (f) show that the lesion has no feeding vessels from the ICA (inset). Enter your email address below and we will send you the reset instructions. Figure 18f. To overcome this limitation, additional features of CT angiography data have to be considered. Figure 10b. The field of view also affects image quality, especially the quality of 3D reformations, which benefit from a small and isotropic voxel size. 37, No. The nonenhanced scan may be a diagnostic scan performed to rule out hemorrhage or ischemia or a low-dose scan performed for subtraction purposes only (,16,,25). Volume-rendered image obtained after fitting the parabolic arc object to the area representing contrast-enhanced vessels in the 2D histogram. Conclusion • Despite recent advances in CT angiography and MR angiography, DSA remains the standard imaging technique for evaluation of the cerebral vasculature . Let your health care provider know if you have ever had a reaction to contrast. Reformation of CT angiographic data smoothes boundaries to an erf function. In CT venography, scan speed is not a major issue, so image quality does not degrade if four-row scanners are used instead of 16–64-section scanners. Use of a high-opacity setting improves the 3D representation; however, the enhanced cavernous sinus hides small portions of the ICA. (e, f) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography (e) and image from digital subtraction angiography (f) show that the lesion has no feeding vessels from the ICA (inset). (b) Diagram shows the enhancement curves for the right ICA (1), left ICA (2), and left internal jugular vein (3) after injection of 10 mL of contrast material and a saline solution bolus. 28, No. The latter protocol allows contrast phase-resolved imaging. Contrast phase-resolved CT of vascular lesions in the head and neck can be performed in a couple of seconds, providing angiographic information as well as information on the surrounding soft tissue. MPR creates views in arbitrary planes without loss of information. To reduce image noise, images may be reconstructed slightly thicker than the detector collimation, for example with a 0.75-mm section thickness from a data set acquired with 64 × 0.6-mm detector collimation. (a) Volume-rendered image from bone subtraction CT angiography (view from above) shows a simulated occlusion of the right distal ICA (C7) and proximal anterior (A1) and medial (M1) cerebral arteries. A CT scanner uses a combination of a high-tech X-ray scanner and sophisticated computer analysis to provide detailed, 3D images of the blood vessels in your body, such as those in the brain, neck, kidneys and legs. Supraclinoid aneurysms can be well visualized by applying MIP or volume rendering (,16,,44–,46); volume rendering provides the best 3D impression. Philadelphia, PA: Elsevier; 2018:chap 4. 6, 17 July 2008 | American Journal of Neuroradiology, Vol. Because bone and calcifications are seen as a particular problem in CT angiography, a variety of different approaches have been advocated to cope with this problem. Thin-slab MIP image (slab thickness = 15 mm) shows the cervical part of the carotid artery. 30, No. 21, No. Separation of different tissue types (ie, bone, contrast-enhanced vessels, soft tissue) can be performed by applying multiple trapezoids, which can be color encoded. CT angiography (CTA) is performed by scanning the patient during a rapid IV contrast bolus infusion while the contrast is in the arterial phase. Curved planar reformation provides a 2D image that is created by sampling CT volume data along a predefined curved plane. The kidneys help remove iodine out of the body. Computed tomography angiography (also called CT angiography or CTA) is a computed tomography technique used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body. Some authors advocate multidetector CT angiography as the primary method to evaluate cerebral aneurysms (,43,,44). Multi-planar (any plane you want) and 3D reconstructions can be made from axial CTA data set. Once again, interactive thin-slab MIP or MPR is preferred. 36, No. Other tests that may be done instead of CT scan of the head include: Barras CD, Bhattacharya JJ. Figure 8b. Figure 19a. (The image was created from two digital subtraction angiographic series. 42, No. Figure 1b. 75, No. Moderate stenosis of the left ICA. A large lymph node metastasis displaces the left carotid artery; there is mild stenosis of the right ICA. 32, No. 3, Interventional Cardiology Clinics, Vol. Optimal image quality depends on two factors: CT angiography technique (scan protocol, contrast material injection protocol, image reconstruction methods) and data visualization technique (image postprocessing). Figure 5c. With binary data, densitometric information gets lost and makes the method prone to undesirable artifacts. Registration is rigid (translation and rotation) and based on mutual information (,26). (The transfer functions in b and c are identical.) Computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a rapidly developing technology with great potential. Atherosclerotic lesions are usually located at the carotid bifurcation, the carotid siphon, and—with smaller hemodynamic relevance—the origin from the aortic arch. Figure 20a. The use of a catheter makes it possible to combine diagnosis and treatment in a single procedure. (b) Image created from the original CT angiographic data shows the location of the aneurysm clip, which was completely removed from the image. (a, b) Coronal MPR (a) and thin-slab MIP (b) images show the internal structure of the lesion and thinning of the skull in detail. Overlapping image reconstruction should always be performed to improve 3D postprocessing. While patient movement between the two scans can be compensated for in cranial CT angiography, movements can result in incomplete bone or calcification removal in carotid CT angiography, unless additional registration steps or preprocessing is performed. Semiautomatic segmentation procedures that use threshold-based region-growing techniques can rapidly extract bone or vessels as long as there is a clear separation between both structures (eg, in the cervical part of the carotid arteries). The newest scanners can image your entire body, head to toe, in less than 30 seconds. Different transfer function settings alter the representation of the lumen. People with kidney disease or diabetes may need to receive extra fluids after the test to help flush the iodine out of the body. 111, No. Automatic vessel boundary definition depends on explicit or implicit parameter settings; it should be kept in mind that changing these settings may considerably influence the grading of stenosis (,Fig 8,,). 192, No. (d) Volume-rendered image created with 2D transfer functions shows similar results. Pulsation of the aorta and a short arteriovenous circulation time require rapid scanning, favoring 16– or 64–detector row CT over four–detector row CT (,33–,35). Wippold FJ, Orlowski HLP. With the above-mentioned scan parameters, the scan time would be 21 seconds for four–detector row CT, 7 seconds for 16–detector row CT, and 4 seconds for 64–detector row CT (64 × 0.6 mm, pitch of 1.3, 0.33-second rotation time). 3, The British Journal of Radiology, Vol. (c, d) Volume-rendered images created with the one-dimensional transfer function technique (c) and from segmented data with a high-opacity setting (d) provide the best 3D representation but do not show the thrombosed parts of the lesion.
