OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of stent lumen delineation using dual-source computed tomography (DSCT) in the standard-pitch mode (SP) as compared to the high-pitch mode (HP) in a phantom study. METHODS Forty different coronary stents placed in plastic tubes filled with contrast agent were imaged with a second generation DSCT system in a SP (pitch 0.23) and HP (pitch 3.4) mode in orientations of 0°, 45°, and 90° relative to the z-axis. Two observers independently measured the in-stent lumen and the attenuation values in the center of the stents. The artificial lumen narrowing (ALN) was calculated using the measured in-stent lumen and the nominal diameter of the plastic tube. RESULTS Interobserver correlation was excellent for in-stent lumen (0.86) and attenuation measurements (0.91). There was no significant difference neither for ALN (SP: 54.7-62.8%; HP: 55.8-64.0%) nor attenuation (SP: 356-395 Hounsfield units [HU]; HP: 352-384 HU) between SP and HP mode. For both modes, the orientation of the stent relative to the z-axis significantly affected ALN and attenuation (each P < .001). CT volume dose index was significantly lower using HP mode as compared to SP mode (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The HP mode in DSCT provides visualization of the coronary in-stent lumen comparable to that measured in SP mode while reducing applied radiation dose in a stationary phantom model.

D019047 Phantoms, Imaging Devices or objects in various imaging techniques used to visualize or enhance visualization by simulating conditions encountered in the procedure. Phantoms are used very often in procedures employing or measuring x-irradiation or radioactive material to evaluate performance. Phantoms often have properties similar to human tissue. Water demonstrates absorbing properties similar to normal tissue, hence water-filled phantoms are used to map radiation levels. Phantoms are used also as teaching aids to simulate real conditions with x-ray or ultrasonic machines.
