Robust restoration of low-dose cerebral perfusion CT images using NCS-Unet

Cerebral perfusion computed tomography(PCT)is an important imaging modality for evaluating cerebrovascular diseases and stroke symptoms.With widespread public concern about the potential cancer risks and health hazards associated with cumulative radiation exposure in PCT imaging,considerable research has been conducted to reduce the radiation dose in X-ray-based brain perfusion imaging.Reducing the dose of X-rays causes severe noise and artifacts in PCT images.To solve this problem,we propose a deep learning method called NCS-Unet.The exceptional characteristics of non-subsampled contourlet transform(NSCT)and the Sobel filter are introduced into NCS-Unet.NSCT decomposes the convolved features into high-and low-frequency components.The decomposed high-frequency component retains image edges,contrast imaging traces,and noise,whereas the low-frequency component retains the main image information.The Sobel filter extracts the contours of the original image and the imaging traces caused by the contrast agent decay.The extracted information is added to NCS-Unet to improve its performance in noise reduction and artifact removal.Qualitative and quantitative analyses demonstrated that the proposed NCS-Unet can improve the quality of low-dose cone-beam CT perfusion reconstruction images and the accuracy of perfusion parameter calculations.

Results show that PD rat models have no characteristic morphological imaging abnormalities, but exist regional cerebral blood flow （CBF） reductions and spectral changes in the striatum.

Multi-slice Spiral CT Three-dimensional Portography in Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus of Hepatic Cancer

Objective: To study the clinical significance of multi-slice spiral CT 3-dimensional (3D) portography in portal vein tumor thrombosis of hepatocellular cacinoma.Methods: 57 cases undergoing 3D portography were collected, of which 6 cases were normal, 5 cases were subjected to cirrhosis and hypertension of portal vein, 42 cases had portal tumor thrombus of hepatic cancer, and the remaining 4 cases showed lymph node enlargment in hilar of liver. All data of the patients came from conventional multi-slice spiral CT double phase of liver. Contrast media was 1.5–2 ml/kg with the injection rate being 2.5–3 ml/s. Axis and 3D portography was analyzed and compared in 42 cases of portal tumor thrombus of hepatic cancer.Results: According to portal tumor thrombus position, 42 cases were fallen into three categories: left (13 cases), right (20 cases), main (9 cases) of potal vein. There was no difference between axis and 3D portography in displaying portal tumor thrombus of hepatic cancer (P>0.05), but 3D portography showing collateral branches was better than axis portography after main portal vein thrombus.Conclusion: Multi-slice spiral CT 3D portography can display the position and types of portal tumor thrombus of hepatic cancer. 3D combined with axis portography can better evaluate the portal tumor thrombus of hepatic cancer and guide to select the therapies. Key words portal vein - tumor thrombus - multi-slice CT - 3 dimension imaging

Use of various CT imaging methods for diagnosis of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease

Thirty-four patients with cerebral infarction and 18 patients with transient ischemic attack were examined by multi-slice spiral CT scan, CT perfusion imaging, and CT angiography within 6 hours after onset. By CT perfusion imaging, 29 cases in the cerebral infarction group and 10 cases in the transient ischemic attack group presented with abnormal blood flow perfusion, which corresponded to the clinical symptoms. By CT angiography, various degrees of vascular stenosis could be detected in 41 patients, including 33 in the cerebral infarction group and eight in the transient ischemic attack group. The incidence of intracranial artery stenosis was higher than that of extracranial artery stenosis. The intracranial artery stenosis was located predominantly in the middle cerebral artery and carotid artery siphon, while the extracranial artery stenosis occurred mainly in the bifurcation of the common carotid artery and the opening of the vertebral artery. There were 34 cases （83%） with convict vascular stenosis and perfusion abnormalities, and five cases （45%） with perfusion abnormalities but without convict vascular stenosis. The incidence of cerebral infarction in patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores 〉 5 points during onset was significantly higher than that in patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores 〈 5 points. These experimental findings indicate that the combined application of various CT imaging methods allows early diagnosis of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease, which can comprehensively analyze the pathogenesis and severity of acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease at the morphological and functional levels.

Dynamic Changes of the CT Perfusion Parameters in the Embolic Model of Cerebral Ischemia

Summary: To study the dynamic changes of CT perfusion parameters during the first 12 h in the embolic cerebral ischemia models. Local cerebral ischemia model were established in 7 New Zealand white rabbits. All CT scans were performed with a GE Lightspeed 16 multislice CT. Following the baseline scan, further CT perfusion scans were performed at the same locations 20 min, 1-6 h and 8, 10 and 12 h after the embolus delivery. Maps of all parameters were obtained by CT perfusion software at each time point. The brains, taken 12 h after the scan, were sliced corresponding to the positions of the CT slices and stained by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). On the basis of the TTC results, the ischemic sides were divided into 3 regions: core, penumbra and the relatively normal region. The changes of all parameters were then divided into 3 stages. In the first two hours (the first stage), the CBV dropped more remarkably in the core than in the penumbra but rose slightly in the relatively normal region while the CBF decreased and MTT, TTP extended in all regions to varying degrees. In the 2nd-5th h (the second stage), all the parameters fluctuated slightly around a certain level. In the 5th-12th h (the third stage), the CBV and CBF dropped, and MTT and TTP were prolonged or shortened slightly in the core and penumbra though much notably in the former while the CBV, CBF rose and MTT, TTP were shortened remarkably in the relatively normal region. We experimentally demonstrated that the location and extent of cerebral ischemia could be accurately assessed by CT perfusion imaging. The pathophysiology of the ischemia could be reflected by the CT perfusion to varying degrees.

A Correlative Study between CT Perfusion Parameters and Angiogenesis in Rabbit VX2 Liver Tumors

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between CT perfusion parameters and the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), vascular en-dothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and microvessel density (MVD) marked by CD34 molecular of rabbit VX2 liver tumors and to investigate the value of CT perfusion imaging in evaluating tumor angiogenesis. Material and methods: Twenty-four cases of rabbit VX2 liver tumor were performed by CT perfusion scanning. Hepatic artery perfusion (HAP), portal vein perfusion (PVP), total hepatic blood flow (THBF) and hepatic perfusion index (HPI) were measured by perfusion software. HIF-1α, VEGF and MMP-2 expression and MVD were detected in the 24 rabbit VX2 liver tumor tissue samples using immunohistochemical method. The correlation between the HIF-1α, VEGF, MMP-2 expression and MVD and CT perfusion parameters were analyzed. Results: Correlation analysis revealed that the expression of HIF-1α, MMP-2, MVD were positively related to the HAP, THBF, HPI (p < 0.01), but no relations with PVP (p > 0.05);and correlation analysis revealed that the expression of VEGF was positively related to the HAP, HPI (p 0.05). There was a positive relationship between the expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, MMP-2 and MVD (p < 0.01). Conclusions: CT perfusion imaging can reflect the blood perfusion of the rabbit VX2 liver tumors and evaluate the information of angiogenesis about tumors.

Investigation on the optical scan condition for imaging of multi-slice spiral CT liver perfusion in rats

Background Multi-slice CT liver perfusion has been widely used in experimental studies of hemodynamic changes in liver lesions, and is usually performed as an adjunct to a conventional CT examination because of its high temporal and spatial resolution, simple protocol, good reproducibility, and ability to measure hemodynamic changes of liver tissues at the capillary level. Experimental rat models, especially those of induced liver cancer, are often used in studies of hemodynamic changes in liver cancer. Carcinogenesis in rats has a similar pathological progression and characteristics resembling those in human liver cancer; as a result, rat models are often used as ideal animal models in the study of human liver cancer. However, liver perfusion imaging in rats is difficult to perform, because rats＇ livers are so small that different concentrations, flow rates, and dose of contrast agents during the CT perfusion scanning can influence the quality of liver perfusion images in rats. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to investigate the optimal scan protocol for the imaging of hepatic perfusion using a deconvolution mathematical method in rats by comparing the results of rats in different injection conditions of the contrast agent, including concentration, rate and time. Methods Plain CT scan conditions in eighty 2-month-old male Wistar rats were 5.0 mm slice thickness, 5.0 mm interval, 1.0 pitch, 120 kV tube voltage, 60 mA tube current, 512x512 matrix, and FOV 9.6 cm. Perfusion scanning was carried out with different concentrations of diatrizoate （19%, 38%, 57%, and 76%）, different injection rates （0.3 and 0.5 ml/s）, and different injection times （1, 2-3, 4-5, and 6 seconds）. The above conditions were randomly matched and adjusted to determine the best perfusion scan protocol. Three-phase contrast-enhanced scanning was performed after CT perfusion. Histological examination of the liver tissues with hematoxylin and eosin stains was done after CT scanning. Results When the concentration of the contrast agent was 19% or 38%, no pseudo-color map was created. The viscosity increased when the concentration of the contrast agent was 76%; so it is difficult to inject the contrast agent at such a high concentration. Also no pseudo-color map was generated when the injection time was short （1, 2-3, and 4-5 seconds） or the injection rate was low （0.3 ml/s）. The best perfusion images and perfusion parameters were obtained during 50 seconds scanning. Each rat was given an injection of 57% diatrizoate at 0.5 mils via the tail vein using a high-pressure syringe for 6 seconds. The perfusion parameters included hepatic blood flow （HBF）, hepatic blood volume （HBV）, mean transit time （MTT） of the contrast agent, capillary permeability-surface area product （PS）, hepatic arterial index （HAl）, hepatic artery perfusion （HAP）, and hepatic portal perfusion （HPP）. All these parameters reflected the perfusion status of liver parenchyma in normal rats. Three phases of enhancement were modified according to the time-density curves （TDCs） of the perfusion imaging： hepatic arterial phase （7 seconds）, hepatic portal venous phase （15 seconds）, and a delayed phase （23-31 seconds）. On examination by microscopy, the liver tissues were pathologically normal. Conclusions The appropriate protocol with multi-slice spiral CT liver perfusion reflected normal liver hemodynamics in rats. This study laid a solid foundation for further investigation of the physiological characteristics of liver cancer in a rat model, and was an important supplement to and reference for conventional contrast-enhanced CT scans.

目的通过观察分析成人烟雾病的脑动脉CT血管成像(CTA)及全脑CT灌注成像(CTP)图像的特点,探讨成人烟雾病出血型、缺血型及无症状型患者的影像学特征。方法回顾性分析82例成人烟雾病患者的临床资料、全脑CTA和CTP图像,以20例健康人作为对照组。根据82例成人烟雾病患者临床表现分为脑出血组(32例,64个大脑半球)、脑缺血组(26例,52个大脑半球)和无症状组(24例,48个大脑半球),分析各组CTA改良法Suzuki分级差异、CTP灌注参数值[脑血容量(CBV)、脑血流量(CBF)、平均通过时间(MTT)、达峰时间(TTP)]的差异。结果CTA改良法Suzuki分级结果为无症状组患者多为Ⅰ级(39.6%),脑缺血组患者多为Ⅳ级(59.6%),脑出血组患者多为Ⅱ~Ⅲ级(68.7%),无症状组、脑缺血组、脑出血组任意两组间改良法Suzuki分级情况比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。无症状组CBV、CBF、MTT及TTP与对照组比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。脑缺血组CBV、CBF明显低于对照组,MTT、TTP较对照组明显延长,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。脑出血组CBV、CBF与对照组比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05),但MTT、TTP较对照组明显延长(P<0.05)。脑缺血组CBV、CBF与脑出血组相比,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);无症状组的CBV、CBF、MTT、TTP与脑缺血组相比,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);无症状组MTT、TTP与脑出血组相比,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论成人烟雾病出血型、缺血型及无症状型患者的脑动脉CTA改良法Suzuki分级及全脑CTP灌注参数具有一定的差异,对临床个性化诊疗具有指导意义。
