Assessment of Contrast Enhancement Boost for the Direct Identification of Pulmonary Emboli in Thoracic CT Angiography

NCT04654156 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular disease and thoracic CT angiography is currently considered the gold standard for its non-invasive diagnosis. However, the diagnostic performance of CT angiography can be hampered by an insufficient enhancement of pulmonary arteries. Contrast Enhancement Boost (CE Boost) is a post-processing technique using an iodine density map to artificially improve pulmonary artery enhancement.

This retrospective study compares standard CT-angiography images with CE Boost images to assess the potential improvement of diagnostic performance for the detection of pulmonary embolism.

Contrast Boost post processing technique

Contrast Enhancement Boost is a post-processing technique that uses an iodine density map generated by subtracting a pre- and post-contrast CT acquisition to artificially enhance pulmonary artery enhancement.
