Improved Diagnostic Performance Using Dual-Energy CT-Derived Slope Parameter Images in Crohn's Disease.

The objective of the study is to explore the image quality and diagnosis performance of the dual-energy CT-derived slope parameter images (SPI) generated by the algorithm based on the slope function in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD). Seventy-six CD patients and 53 disease-free control group s...

      ab: The objective of the study is to explore the image quality and diagnosis performance of the dual-energy CT-derived slope parameter images (SPI) generated by the algorithm based on the slope function in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD). Seventy-six CD patients and 53 disease-free control group subjects who underwent dual-energy CT enterography were retrospectively collected. Portal venous phase 120kVp-like and virtual monoenergetic images at 40–100 keV (VMI40-100) were reconstructed. SPIs corresponding to the spectral curve between 40 and 100 keV (SPI40-100) were generated using Python. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of normal and abnormal intestinal walls were calculated. Image quality, noise, and contrast were independently scored by two radiologists using a 5-point scale. Four radiologists conducted CD diagnosis with three reading models (120kVp-like, 120kVp-like with optimal VMI, and 120kVp-like with SPI40-100). The diagnostic performances of the three reading models for diagnosing CD were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The CNR in SPI40-100 was higher than in the other images (P < 0.05). The subjective evaluation showed that there was no statistical difference between the contrast of SPI40-100 and VMI40 (P > 0.05), but that of the two images was higher than the other images (P < 0.05). The scoring on the overall image quality of VMI50 was superior to that of other images (P < 0.05). The combined model of 120kVp-like with SPI40-100 had the strongest confidence (cases with high confidence: 36, 58, 49, 47 for radiologists 1, 2, 3, 4) and the highest efficiency in diagnosing CD (areas under the ROC curve: 0.973, 0.977, 0.982, 0.991 for radiologists 1, 2, 3, 4). SPI40-100 generated by the algorithm based on the slope function exhibited good image quality. The combined model of 120kVp-like with SPI40-100 could improve radiologists' diagnostic efficiency and confidence in diagnosing CD.
