Abstract:

To optimize and evaluate an ultra-low-dose (ULD) technique for CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Eighty-two patients were randomly divided into two groups. ULD and routine CTCA were performed in groups A and B. Image quality, radiation dose and contrast agent were evaluated. The effective dose (ED) was 0.20 +/- 0.01 mSv for the ULD technique, a decrease of 87% (t = - 21.182, P < 0.001) compared with the control group. The total iodine content was 8.10 +/- 0 g, a decrease of 62% (t = - 73.458, P < 0.001) compared with 21.10 +/- 1.15 g for the control group. The assessment rates for both groups were the same (99.26 vs 99.64%, chi (2) = 0.727, P = 0.394). The contrast-to-noise ratio was 19.31 +/- 7.95 for group A and 20.73 +/- 5.07 for group B: the difference was not statistically significant (t = - 1.678, P = 0.095). Using an ultra-low radiation dose and contrast agent technique, while maintaining an assessable image and improving the safety of the medical examination, was a feasible and reliable method for CTCA.
