2 History SOMATOM DR Page 2 March 2014 H IM CR

3 History Since the introduction of the SOMATOM Definition, the number of annual publications on Dual Energy has skyrocketed from 0 to ~ Number of original article es Introduction of the SOMATOM Definition = Publications on Dual Energy with the SOMATOM Definition and Definition Flash Page 3 March 2014 H IM CR

4 Two steps ahead in Decision Making: Precise Dual Energy quantification Courtesy of UMM, Mannheim, Germany SOMATOM Force 80/Sn150kV, 90/Sn150kV, 100/Sn150kV min. rotation time 0.25s FOV B-detector: 350 mm collimations: 64x0.6mm, 128x0.6mm, 196x0.6mm 2d anti scatter grid 50% thicker tin filter ( 2) Vectron tubes (up to 1300mA) low noise Stellar Infinity detectors Page 4 March 2014 H IM CR

5 SOMATOM Definition Flash Dual Source Dual Energy (DE) DE with Selective Photon Shield Characterize, highlight and quantify material Selective Photon Shield II Dose-neutral compared to a single 120 kv scan Improved spectral separation high kv Attenuation B low kv Attenuation A Page 5 March 2014 H IM CR

6 SOMATOM Definition Flash/ SOMATOM Force Dual Source Dual Energy Conventional Dual Energy CT DE with Selective Photon Shield I and II Significant spectral overlap Limits energy separation Limits dose efficiency Minimized spectral overlap Up to 80% better energy separation Complete dose neutrality Page 6 March 2014 H IM CR

7 Technical realization of dual-energy CT Dual-Source CT Dual source CT Fast rotation (0.28 s), reliable imaging of moving organs Flexible choice of scan parameters (ma, pitch,...) to individually adapt radiation dose to the patient Selective Photon Shield Optional tin pre-filtration Improves spectral separation Makes dual energy dose-neutral equivalent to a 120 kv scan 15 x 104 S 1 : 80 kv 10 5 S 2 : 140 kv + SPS 80 kv 140 kv 140 kv + SPS 0.4 mm tin X-ray photon energy (kev) Page 7 March 2014 H IM CR

8 Technical highlight Best spectral separation in the market 100 kv / 140 kv Sn 90 kv / 150 kv Sn Up to 30% increased energy separation for better DE imaging outcomes Page 8 March 2014 H IM CR

9 Comparison Definition DS SE / Flash DE (DE composition 0.6) Definition DS SE standard Body Angio (120kV) Definition Flash DE 100kV/Sn140kV Ultravist NH 4 Cl Bone MgSO SD NaBr CTDI vol =8.65mGy 24.6 SD Noise & Contrast & Dose equivalent to single energy on Definition DS (for FAST body bone removal protocol) Page 9 March 2014 H IM CR

10 Proven Dose Neutrality Page 10 March 2014 Courtesy of Mayo Clinic Rochester, MN, U.S.A. H IM CR

11 Dual Energy Principle Many materials show different attenuation at different X-ray energies Different attenuation mechanisms: photo effect Compton effect X-ray absoprt tion 1.0E E E+00 E 2 E 1 Large increase for iodine Iodine solution Bone 1.0E-01 Small increase for bone X-ray energy / kev Attenuation change from low to high energy characterizes the material Energy-resolved CT can determine chemical composition Page 11 March 2014 H IM CR

12 Where does the infomation come from? 80kV CT-value 80 kv Iodine Bone IDENTITY 140kV 0 HU Blood Water HU Fat CT-value 140 kv Air 0 HU need stable CT values; excellent scanner calibration no separation for materials at same position in diagram CT and DECT are not sensitive to chemical binding Page 12 March 2014 H IM CR

13 Processing of DE data Clinical application: Separation of two materials Assume mixture of blood + Iodine and bone marrow + bone HU at 80 kv Iodine pixels Blood+Iodine Soft tissue Marrow+bone Separation line Bone pixels HU at 140 kv Bone 550 HU Iodine 425 HU 80kV Bone 400 HU Iodine 250 HU 140kV Additional postprocessing to improve classification at low HU numbers Page 13 March 2014 H IM CR
