Abstract
Objective
To explore the diagnostic value for chronic kidney disease (CKD) between 640-slice computed tomography (CT) kidney scan and conventional CT scan.
Methods
A total of 120 CKD patients who received kidney plain scan plus enhanced examination in the CT room of the Medical Imaging Department of our hospital from June 2019 to September 2019 were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group (n = 60) and the control group (n = 60). Patients in the control group received the conventional CT plain scan and enhanced scan, and for patients in the experimental group, CT plain scan was performed first, the range of 640-slice CT dynamic volume scan was determined, and after bolus injection of contrast agent, dynamic volume scan was performed for scanning in the cortical phase, myeloid phase, and secretory phase. The imaging quality and effective scanning dose were compared between the two modalities, and the relationship between CT values obtained from 640-slice CT scan and conventional CT scan and the renal impairment was analyzed.
Results
Compared with the control group, the image quality of 640-slice CT scan conducted in the experimental group was significantly better (P < 0.05); the effective radiation doses of the experimental group and the control group were, respectively, (1.89 ± 0.32) mSv and (3.26 ± 0.47) mSv, indicating that the dose was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 18.664, P < 0.001), and the correlation analysis showed that the relationship between the sum of CT values in the cortical phase of both kidneys and kidney injury in the experimental group was r = 0.835, P < 0.001.
Conclusion
Both 640-slice CT kidney scan and conventional CT scan can be used in the diagnosis of CKD. 640-slice CT has a lower radiation dose, better image quality, and higher application value.
