Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To evaluate the feasibility, image quality and radiation dose of prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch coronary CT angiography (CCTA) with 30 mL contrast agent at 70 kVp. METHODS:Fifty-eight patients with suspected coronary artery disease, a body mass index (BMI) of less than 25 kg/m(2), sinus rhythm and a heart rate (HR) of less than 70 beats per minute (bpm) were prospectively enrolled in this study. Thirty mL of 370 mg I/mL iodinated contrast agent was administrated at a flow rate of 5 mL/s. All patients underwent prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA on a second-generation dual-source CT system at 70 kVp using automated tube current modulation. RESULTS:Fifty-six patients (96.6%) had diagnostic CCTA images and two patients (3.4%) had one vessel with poor image quality each rated as non-diagnostic. No significant effects of HR, HR variability and BMI on CCTA image quality were observed (all P > 0.05). Effective dose was 0.17 ± 0.02 mSv and the size-specific dose estimate was 1.03 ± 0.13 mGy. CONCLUSION:Prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA at 70 kVp with 30 mL of contrast agent can provide diagnostic image quality at a radiation dose of less than 0.2 mSv in patients with a BMI of less than 25 kg/m(2) and an HR of less than 70 bpm. KEY POINTS:• Prospectively ECG-triggered high-pitch CCTA at 70 kVp/30 mL contrast agent is feasible. • Diagnostic image quality can be obtained at a radiation dose of less than 0.2 mSv. • This protocol is suitable for normal-weight patients with slow heart rate.
