• W1978034294 abstract "Rationale and Objectives Tissue perfusion is commonly used to evaluate lung tumor lesions through dynamic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT). The aim of this study was to improve the reliability of the blood flow (BF) maps by means of a guided sampling of the tissue time–concentration curves (TCCs). Materials and Methods Fourteen selected CT perfusion (CTp) examinations from different patients with lung lesions were considered, according to different degrees of motion compensation. For each examination, two regions of interest (ROIs) referring to the target lesion and the arterial input were manually segmented. To obtain the perfusion parameters, we computed the maximum slope of the Hill equation, describing the pharmacokinetics of the contrast agent, and the TCC was fitted for each voxel. A guided iterative approach based on the Random Sample Consensus method was used to detect and exclude samples arising from motion artifacts through the assessment of the confidence level of each single temporal sample of the TCC compared to the model. Removing these samples permits to refine the model fitting, thus exploiting more reliable data. Goodness-of-fit measures of the fitted TCCs to the original data (eg, root mean square error and correlation distance) were used to assess the reliability of the BF values, so as to preserve the functional structure of the resulting perfusion map. We devised a quantitative index, the local coefficient of variation (lCV), to measure the spatial coherence of perfusion maps, from local to regional and global resolution. The effectiveness of the algorithm was tested under three different degrees of motion yielded by as many alignment procedures. Results At pixel level, the proposed approach improved the reliability of BF values, quantitatively assessed through the correlation index. At ROI level, a comparative analysis emphasized how our approach “replaced” the noisy pixels, providing smoother parametric maps while preserving the main functional structure. Moreover, the implemented algorithm provides a more meaningful effect in correspondence of a higher motion degree. This was confirmed both quantitatively, using the lCV, and qualitatively, through visual inspection by expert radiologists. Conclusions Perfusion maps achieved with the proposed approach can now be used as a valid tool supporting radiologists in DCE-CTp studies. This represents a step forward to clinical utilization of these studies for staging, prognosis, and monitoring values of therapeutic regimens.
