Pulmonary abscess is a complication of cystic fibrosis. Model-based iterative reconstruction is a reconstructive algorithm that can substantially reduce the radiation dose of computed tomography to that of radiography while maintaining diagnostic quality. This study reports the use of ultra-low-dose computed tomography with model-based iterative reconstruction in monitoring resolution of a pulmonary abscess caused by cystic fibrosis.

超低劑量電腦斷層掃描管理囊性纖維化引起的肺膿腫

R Nandurkar、劉國斌

 

肺膿腫是囊性纖維化的併發症。基於模型的迭代重建(MBIR)算法可以顯著降低電腦斷層掃描(CT)的輻射劑量且同時保持診斷質量。本文報導超低劑量CT與MBIR在監測囊性纖維化引起的肺膿腫消退中的使用。
