Abstract

Purpose: To compare same-day photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) to conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) for detection of small renal stones (≤ 3 mm).

Methods: Patients undergoing clinical dual-energy EID-CT for known or suspected stone disease underwent same-day research PCD-CT. Patients with greater than 10 stones and no visible stones under 3 mm were excluded. Three radiologists selected the optimal reconstruction configuration for each CT modality and created the reference standard for renal stone presence. Two other radiologists, blinded to imaging modality, independently reviewed anonymized images to detect renal stones, rating confidence in potential stones using a Likert scale (1 = Definitely present, 2 = Probably present, 3 = Questionably present, 4 = Not seen). Sensitivity and false positive detections for PCD and EID-CT were calculated.

Results: Twenty-one patients underwent clinical EID-CT followed by same-day PCD-CT, with the reference standard identifying 121 renal stones (mean size 2.8 ± 2.6 mm). 0.4-mm PCD-CT images were more likely to display a stone as definitely present compared to 1- or 2-mm EID-CT images (p < 0.0001). Overall sensitivity for detection of all stones was greater at PCD-CT (0.75 vs. 0.55, p < 0.05). Pooled sensitivity of stones 3 mm was also significantly higher at PCD-CT (0.67 vs. 0.41, p < 0.05), with false positive detections differing between readers and modalities (PCD-CT vs. EID-CT: R1-7 v. 5; R2 - 7 v. 1).

Conclusion: Sensitivity for renal stones was significantly higher using high spatial resolution PCD-CT vs. EID-CT, especially for stones 3 mm or less in size, which may be important for at-risk patient populations. Prospective evaluation in larger patient populations that will benefit from detection of small stones is warranted.

期刊介绍: Abdominal Radiology seeks to meet the professional needs of the abdominal radiologist by publishing clinically pertinent original, review and practice related articles on the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and abdominal interventional and radiologic procedures. Case reports are generally not accepted unless they are the first report of a new disease or condition, or part of a special solicited section. Reasons to Publish Your Article in Abdominal Radiology: · Official journal of the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) · Published in Cooperation with: European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR) European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR) · Efficient handling and Expeditious review · Author feedback is provided in a mentoring style · Global readership · Readers can earn CME credits
