A Dynamic Arterial Tree Phantom for studies of bolus chasing CT Angiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging techniques have become an important role in diagnosing the vascular diseases. Before a clinical trial of the newly developed techniques, it is essential to evaluate them on a phantom. However, there is no existing arterial A Dynamic Arterial Tree Phantom for studies 89 tree phantom that serves for flood flows. To that end, we design and develop a Dynamic Arterial Tree Phantom (DATP), which is able to produce many kinds of blood flow pattern through using a programmable pump functions as a heart. Contrast enhanced CT scan is also performed on this phantom for adaptive bolus chasing techniques.

Adaptive bolus-chasing computed tomography angiography in the cases of symmetric and asymmetric arterial flows in peripheral arteries
Synchronization of the contrast bolus peak and CT imaging aperture is a crucial issue for computed tomography angiography (CTA). It affects the CTA image quality and the amount of contrast dose. A whole-body CTA procedure means to scan from the abdominal aorta to pedal arteries. In this context, the synchronization is much more difficult with the asymmetric arterial flow in lower extremities th...
متن کاملStudy of an adaptive bolus chasing CT angiography.
To improve imaging quality and to reduce contrast dose and radiation exposure, an adaptive bolus chasing CT angiography was proposed so that the bolus peak position and the imaging aperture can be synchronized. The performance of the proposed adaptive bolus chasing CT angiography was experimentally evaluated based on the actual bolus dynamics. The experimental results show that the controlled t...

In this paper, a new adaptive bolus-chasing control scheme is proposed to synchronize the bolus peak in a patient's vascular system and the imaging aperture of a computed tomography (CT) scanner. The proposed control scheme is theoretically evaluated and experimentally tested on a modified Siemens SOMATOM Volume Zoom CT scanner. The first set of experimental results are reported on bolus-chasin...

Synchronization of the contrast bolus peak and CT imaging aperture is a crucial issue for CTA. It effects the CTA imaging quality and the necessary amount of contrast dose. In this paper, we propose an optimal adaptive bolus chasing controller. The controller estimates and predicts the unknown two dimensional bolus density on line and then determines the optimal control actions. Tracking errors...

Tracking bolus peak position is a crucial issue for computed tomography angiography(CTA). In this paper, a local maximum tracking method is proposed and tested using real patient data. The method uses a second order polynomial to approximate bolus density function locally. By estimating the local maximum density position at next sampling time, bolus peak trajectory is closely followed. Experime...
