Quantifying Abdominal Organ Volumes and Vascular Metrics via CT Imaging

Patients were examined using a multi-slice spiral CT scanner (Brilliance 256-slice spiral CT scanner; Philips Medical Systems, the Netherlands) with a collimating reconstruction thickness of 1 mm and an interval of 1 mm. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT was completed by professional technicians in accordance with standard operating procedures. To improve the quality of examinations, patients were placed in the supine position and trained to hold their breath to reduce breathing and movement artifacts during scanning.
The morphological indices assessed included CT estimated TLV (CTLV), CT-based total splenic volume (CTSV), PVD, SVD, and PVCSA. These variables were measured on portal phase images by two medical students blinded to the clinical results under the supervision of an experienced radiologist using an image-analysis program (Phillips Intellispace Portal Workstation; Philips Medical Systems). CTLV and CTSV were obtained as a summation by manually tracing the boundaries on each transverse image, avoiding the large vessels, gallbladder, and fissures. PVD and PVCSA were measured at the midpoint between the portal bifurcations and the venous confluences, while SVD was detected at the point 1 cm proximal to the confluence of the PV and splenic vein.

Esophageal Tumor Measurement by CT

A Brilliance 256-slice spiral CT scanner (PHILIPS, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) was used for scanning, with the patient in the supine position with both arms above the head and using the following parameters: tube voltage 120 kV, tube current 300–350 mA, scanning collimator 1 mm, pitch 0.9, scanning layer thickness 5 mm, layer spacing 5 mm, reconstruction layer thickness 2.5 mm, and layer spacing 2 mm. The enhanced scanning used one high-pressure syringe to rapidly inject 100 mL of non-ionic contrast agent (iodohydrin) from the elbow vein (injection rate 3 mL/s). The scanning area started from the skull base to the fifth lumbar spine, the data of which were then transmitted into Vitrea 2 Workstation for multiwindow and multiplanar reconstruction. Two experienced radiologists in our hospital retrospectively evaluated the pretreatment thoracic CT scans. The diameter of the thickest part of the primary tumor on the CT scan image was identified as the esophageal thickness. Asymmetric luminal involvement on the CT scan image was identified as the eccentric wall thickness.

Contrast-Enhanced CT Brain Perfusion Protocol

The method of the PCT protocol was based on our previous study (Wang et al., 2021 (link)). First, all patients underwent a non‐contrast‐enhanced CT scan on the Philips Brilliance 256‐slice spiral CT scanner after the patients had undergone an iodine anaphylaxis test and the result was negative. Second, the contrast agent (iobitridol, 350 mgI/mL) was administered rapidly (6 mL/s) via an elbow intravenous bolus injection at the elbow using an automatic injector (2 mL/kg). Third, normal saline (30 mL) was injected at the same rate. After a delay of 5 s, scanning was performed with the following parameters: 80 kV, 100 mA s, 0.4 s/cycle, 4.1 s interval, 13 cycles in total, 5 mm slice thickness, 512 × 512 matrix, 54.4 s contrast agent tracking time, and 12.8 cm coverage. Finally, the reconstructed dynamic images were transferred to the workstation for processing in the Philips Extended Brilliance Workstation using CT brain perfusion software.

Triphasic CT Imaging for Gastric Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

MSCT was performed with plain and triphasic dynamic contrast enhancement before surgery using a Siemens Sensation 64 CT scanner (Siemens, Munich, Germany) and Brilliance 256-slice spiral CT scanner (Philips, Eindhoven, the Netherlands). The scanning parameters were set as follows: voltage, 120 kV; electric current, 220 to 250 mAs; and thick layer, 0.625 and 0.5 mm. All patients were examined after fasting for 8 hours. The stomach was filled with 800 to 1000 mL of warm water orally, and 20 mg of anisodamine hydrochloride (654-2) was then intramuscularly injected 10 minutes before CT scanning of the patients in the supine position. Next, a non-ionic contrast agent (Ultravist 300; Schering, Berlin, Germany) was injected into the cubital vein (iodine concentration: 270 mg/100 mL) at a rate of 3.0 mL/s and total volume of 1.5 mL/kg. Arterial-phase images were acquired 35 s after contrast injection, and venous-phase images were acquired at 70 s. The scan range extended from the top of the diaphragm to the lower edge of the liver or stomach. The scan range for assessing peritoneal spread extended from the liver dome to the pubic symphysis. After scanning, axial 3-mm soft tissue window reconstruction was performed to visualize plain, arterial-phase, and venous-phase images and determine the coronal plane and venous phase.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
