Aim: To evaluate the potential of new spectral computed tomography (SCT)-based tools in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN).Material and Methods: Eighty-eight consecutive patients with NENs were included prospectively. The patients underwent multiphase CT with spectral and standard mode. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)/contrast-to-noise-ratio (CNR)tumour-to-liver, iodine concentrations (ICs, total tumour/hotspot) and attenuation slopes in virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) were used to assess NEN-specific SCT values in primary tumours and metastatic lesions and investigate a possible lesion contrast improvement as well as possible correlations of SCT parameters to primary tumour location and tumour grade. Furthermore, the usability of SCT parameters to differentiate between the primary tumour and metastatic lesions, and to predict tumour response after 6-months follow-up was analyzed. The applied dose of spectral and standard mode was compared intra-individually.Results: SNR/CNRtumour-to-liver significantly increased in low-energy VMIs. NENs showed significant differences in ICs between primary and metastatic lesions for both absolute and normalised values (p<0.001) regardless of whether the total tumour or the hotspot was measured. There was also a significant difference in the attenuation slope (p<0.001). No significant correlations were found between SCT and tumour grade. A tumour response prediction by SCT parameters was not possible. The applied dose was comparable between the scan modes.Conclusion: SCT was comparable regarding applied dose, improved tumour contrast, and contributed to differentiation between primary NEN and metastasis.

NON-small-cell lung carcinoma , *DUAL energy CT (Tomography) , *SQUAMOUS cell carcinoma , *PULMONARY nodules , *PULMONARY embolism - Abstract
Aim: To investigate how spectral computed tomography (SCT) values impact the staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirteen patients with confirmed NSCLC were included in a prospective cohort study. All patients underwent single-phase contrast-enhanced SCT (using the fast tube voltage switching technique, 80-140 kV). SCT values (iodine content [IC], spectral slope pitch, and radiodensity increase) of malignant tissue (primary and metastases) and lymph nodes (LNs) were measured. Adrenal masses were evaluated in a virtual non-contrast series (VNS). If pulmonary embolism was present, pulmonary perfusion was analysed as an additional finding.Results: Fifty-two untreated primary NSCLC lesions were evaluable. Lung adenocarcinoma had significantly higher normalised IC (NIC: 19.37) than squamous cell carcinoma (NIC: 12.03; p=0.035). Pulmonary metastases were not significantly different from benign lung nodules. A total of 126 LNs were analysed and histologically proven metastatic LNs (2.08 mg/ml) had significantly lower IC than benign LNs (2.58 mg/ml; p=0.023). Among 34 adrenal masses, VNS identified adenomas with high sensitivity (91%) and specificity (100%). In two patients, a perfusion defect due to pulmonary embolism was detected in the iodine images.Conclusion: SCT may contribute to the differentiation of histological NSCLC subtypes and improve the identification of LN metastases. VNS differentiates adrenal adenoma from metastasis. In case of pulmonary embolism, iodine imaging can visualise associated pulmonary perfusion defects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Abstract Objectives Aim of the study was the comparison of high-pitch dual-source CTA of the aorta acquired with different tube currents and methods of image reconstruction in patients with Marfan Disease (MFS). Background Patients with MFS receive repeatedly CT examinations of the entire aorta what leads to high cumulative lifetime radiation doses. Routine clinical use of low-kV-protocols in combination with iterative reconstruction for imaging of the aorta is still limited although this approach may be of great benefit for patients in need of serial follow-up scans. Methods 106 patients with MFS received CTA of the entire aorta in a 2nd generation dual-source Flash-CT at 120, 100 or 80 kV. 120 kV images were reconstructed with FBP, low-kV images with an IR algorithm (SAFIRE) at different noise reduction levels. CTDIvol, DLP and effective dose were analyzed. Quantitative image analysis included comparison of SNR, CNR and Noise levels. For qualitative analysis, two blinded readers assessed noise, contour delineation, contrast, overall image quality and diagnostic confidence. Results Effective dose was 9.4 (±1.5) mSv for 120 kV, 4.2 (±1.1) mSv for 100 kV and 1.9 (±0.42) mSv for 80 kV. 100 kV images showed the highest SNR and CNR values, followed by 80 kV and 120 kV. Qualitative image analysis showed the lowest scores for all evaluated aspects at 80 kV. Overall image quality and diagnostic confidence was excellent at all kV strengths. Conclusions In MFS patients low-kV CT protocols with IR allow for CTA of the entire aorta in excellent image quality and diagnostic confidence with a dose reduction of up to 80% compared to 120 kV. For baseline CT, we recommend 100 kV, for follow-up CT scans 80 kV as tube voltage. Highlights • Low-kV CTA with IR of the aorta in MFS patients provides excellent image quality and diagnostic confidence. • Tube voltages 100 kV and 80 kV lead to dose reductions of up to 80% compared to 120 kV. • 100- and 80 kV protocols are recommended for baseline and follow-up CT scans.

Aim: To compare the radiation dose and image quality of 64-row chest computed tomography (CT) in patients with bronchial carcinoma or intrapulmonary metastases using full-dose CT reconstructed with filtered back projection (FBP) at baseline and reduced dose with 40% adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) at follow-up.Materials and Methods: The chest CT images of patients who underwent FBP and ASIR studies were reviewed. Dose-length products (DLP), effective dose, and size-specific dose estimates (SSDEs) were obtained. Image quality was analysed quantitatively by signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) measurement. In addition, image quality was assessed by two blinded radiologists evaluating images for noise, contrast, artefacts, visibility of small structures, and diagnostic acceptability using a five-point scale.Results: The ASIR studies showed 36% reduction in effective dose compared with the FBP studies. The qualitative and quantitative image quality was good to excellent in both protocols, without significant differences. There were also no significant differences for SNR except for the SNR of lung surrounding the tumour (FBP: 35±17, ASIR: 39±22).Discussion: A protocol with 40% ASIR can provide approximately 36% dose reduction in chest CT of patients with bronchial carcinoma or intrapulmonary metastases while maintaining excellent image quality.

GLIOMA treatment , *RADIOIMMUNOTHERAPY , *CARBONIC anhydrase , *RADIATION doses , *FLOW cytometry - Abstract
Introduction Due to their infiltrative growth behavior, gliomas have, even after surgical resection, a high recurrence tendency. The approach of intracavitary radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is aimed at inhibiting tumor re-growth by directly administering drugs into the resection cavity (RC). Direct application of the radioconjugate into the RC has the advantage of bypassing the blood-brain barrier, which allows the administration of higher radiation doses than systemic application. Carbonic anhydrase XII (CA XII) is highly expressed on glioma cells while being absent from normal brain and thus an attractive target molecule for RIT. We evaluated a CA XII-specific 6A10 Fab (fragment antigen binding) labelled with 177 Lu as an agent for RIT. Methods 6A10 Fab fragment was modified and radiolabelled with 177 Lu and characterized by MALDI-TOF, flow cytometry and radio-TLC. In vitro stability was determined under physiological conditions. Biodistribution studies, autoradiography tumor examinations and planar scintigraphy imaging were performed on SCID-mice bearing human glioma xenografts. Results The in vitro CA XII binding capacity of the modified Fab was confirmed. Radiochemical purity was determined to be >90% after 72 h of incubation under physiological conditions. Autoradiography experiments proved the specific binding of the Fab to CA XII on tumor cells. Biodistribution studies revealed a tumor uptake of 3.0%ID/g after 6 h and no detectable brain uptake. The tumor-to-contralateral ratio of 10/1 was confirmed by quantitative planar scintigraphy. Conclusion The radiochemical stability in combination with a successful in vivo tumor uptake shows the potential suitability for future RIT applications with the 6A10 Fab. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: To assess how adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) contributes to dose reduction and affects image quality of non-contrast cranial computed tomography (cCT) in children.Materials and Methods: Non-contrast cranial CT acquired in 78 paediatric patients (age 0-12 years) were evaluated. The images were acquired and processed using four different protocols: Group A (control): 120 kV, filtered back projection (FBP), n=18; Group B: 100 kV, FBP, n=22; Group C: 100 kV, scan and reconstruction performed with 20% ASIR, n=20; Group D1: 100 kV, scan and reconstruction performed with 30% ASIR, n=18; Group D2: raw data from Group D1 reconstructed using a blending of 40% ASIR and 60% FBP, n=18. The effective dose was calculated and the image quality was assessed quantitatively and qualitatively.Results: Compared to Group A, Groups C and D1/D2 showed a significant reduction of the dose-length product (DLP) by 34.4% and 64.4%, respectively. All experimental groups also showed significantly reduced qualitative levels of noise, contrast, and overall diagnosability. Diagnosis-related confidence grading showed Group C to be adequate for everyday clinical practice. Quantitative measures of Groups B and C were comparable to Group A with only few parameters compromised. Quantitative scores in Groups D1 and D2 were mainly lower compared to Group A, with Group D2 performing better than Group D1. Group D2 was considered adequate for follow-up imaging of severe acute events such as bleeding or hydrocephalus.Discussion: The use of ASIR combined with low tube voltage may reduce radiation significantly while maintaining adequate image quality in non-contrast paediatric cCT.
