摘要

Rationale and Objectives: There is potential for x-ray dose reduction in computed tomography colonography (CTC) relative to body mass index (BMI). We evaluated the association between BMI and three-dimensional (3D) CTC image quality to assess the potential utility of BMI as the basis for radiation dose reduction in CTC. Materials and Methods: Ninety-six consecutive patients underwent CTC and were randomized for scanning at 15 or 30 mAs. Extremely obese patients (BMI > 50) were excluded. Each patient was scanned supine and prone on a multidetector CT scanner. Postprocessing CTC visualization was performed on a dedicated workstation. Three independent observers assessed 3D image quality using a four-point scale. Image noise was measured in both the abdomen and pelvis. The association between BMI and image noise was examined using random-effects linear regression models. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between BMI, mAs, and conspicuity scores. Results: Statistically significant differences in image noise were observed between 15 and 30 mAs in both the abdomen and pelvis, and the difference was greater with increasing BMI. A positive relationship was detected between BMI and noise in the abdomen (P <.001) and pelvis (P <.001). Inverse correlation was identified between BMI and conspicuity scores in the abdomen (P =.01) and pelvis (P <.001). Overall conspicuity scores were reduced for both 15 and 30 mAs groups as BMI increased. Conclusion: The radiation dose for CTC can be reduced by 40% and 70% below commonly employed doses for overweight and normal BMI patients, respectively, by using a BMI-adjusted dose reduction approach. Conspicuity scores dropped in obese patients with reduced dose suggesting that standard accepted doses should be utilized in that group.
