【摘要】 目的  研究兩種不同的衰減系數轉換方法對正電子發(fā)射計算機斷層顯像/計算機體層掃描(PET/CT) 標準攝取值(SUV)測量值的影響。 方法  2009年11-12月,從經過PET/CT氟代脫氧葡萄糖(FDG)顯像患者中選取20例,其口腔中均有金屬假牙。以四段轉換法和二段轉換法重建全身衰減校正斷層圖像。分別選取3種高密度區(qū)域和7種低密度區(qū)域,測量其最大SUV和平均SUV,比較兩種轉換方法SUV測量值。 結果  平均SUV:二段轉換法的3種高密度區(qū)域SUV降低,在7種低密度區(qū)域中,1種區(qū)域增高,1種區(qū)域降低(P值均 lt;0.05)。最大SUV:二段轉換法的2種高密度區(qū)域的SUV降低,在7種低密度區(qū)域中,1種區(qū)域增高,2種靠近高密度組織的區(qū)域降低(P值均 lt;0.05)。 結論  二段轉換法能降低高密度區(qū)域的SUV,可用于減小體內金屬植入物和CT對比劑造成的過度校正。
【Abstract】 Objective  To explore the effect of two attenuation correction algorithms on PET/CT SUV measurement. Methods  From November to December 2009, the PET Slice of 20 patients with metallic dental implant were reconstructed with four-and two-section algorithms respectively. Mean SUV and maximum SUV were measured in three high-density areas and 7 low-density areas. Paired t test were performed to compare the differences. Results  Mean SUV: two-section algorithm produced significantly lower SUV in all the three high-density areas; in the 7 low-density areas, SUV increased obviously in one area and decreased apparently in one area (P lt;0.05). Maximum SUV: two-section algorithm produced significantly lower SUV in two high-density areas, SUV increased obviously in one area and decreased apparently in two areas which was adjacent to the high density areas (P lt;0.05). Conclusion  Two-section algorithm produces lower SUV measurement value than the four-section algorithm does, and it is useful in PET/CT studies for patients with metallic dental implant and when CT contrast is used.
