reconstructions (VMIs) for assessment of arterially hyper-enhancing liver lesions in phantom and patients and to compare hybrid-iterative and spectral image reconstructions of conventional images (CI-IR and CI-SR).#All imaging was performed on a SDCT (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands)....
CNR was highest at 20 s in 58% of lesions but was highest at 10 or 25 s in 42%. Overall, there was no significant difference in mean CNR between the three arterial acquisitions.ConclusionA wide detector axial liver CT protocol with three acquisitions in the hepatic arterial phase is ...
Thus, clinical decisions regarding inclusion criteria for transplantation based on CT morphology of liver lesions may be tenuous.doi:10.1007/s00261-002-0053-zP. C. FreenyM. GrossholzK. KaakajiU. P. SchmiedlAbdom ImagingAbdominal ImagingFreeny PC, Grossholz M, Kaakaji K, Schmiedl UP. ...
