文摘目的评估全模型迭代重建算法(Forward Projected Model-Based Iterative Reconstruction Solution,FIRST)对于靶扫描颞骨图像的应用价值。方法回顾性收集了36例行颞骨靶扫描检查的病人,分别使用FIRST BODY、FIRST BODY SHARP、FIRST BONE和滤波反射投影(Filtered Back Projection,FBP)四种方式进行颞骨图像重建。将重建后的图像从客观和主观两方面进行图像质量分析。客观图像质量分析采用在横断位图像上测量图像的CT值及噪声标准差(Standard Deviation,SD)值,并计算信号噪声比(Signal to Noise Ratio,SNR)和对比噪声比(Contrast to Noise Ratio,CNR)。主观图像质量分析采用主观盲法对图像质量进行打分。结果在耳后肌肉处、前庭处和耳前皮下脂肪处,四种重建方法的CT值无统计学差异,P值分别为0.966、0.205和0.441。在锤砧关节处、耳后肌肉处、前庭处和耳前皮下脂肪处,与FIRST BODY SHARP、FIRST BONE和FBP对比,FIRST BODY重建方法图像的SNR、CNR最高,SD值最低,并具有统计学差异(P均<0.001)。四种重建方法的图像都能够满足于临床诊断。结论相比于FIRST BODY SHARP、FIRST BONE和FBP,FIRST BODY重建方法可以降低图像噪声,提高SNR和CNR,并且在主观上可以满足于临床诊断。
