根据小编有限的了解，本文是继汤浩去年6月的Radiology封面文章之后又一登上国际著名杂志封面的中国影像学者的论著。巧合的是，两者都是涉及非增强MRA，两位作者都是体部影像学博士。希望有更多中国学者被封面！

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Dual-source CTA and black-blood MRA are recently developed techniques for evaluating carotid stenosis. The purpose of this study was to compare dual-source CTA with black-blood MRA and conventional TOF MRA in both detecting carotid stenosis by using DSA as a reference standard and demonstrating plaque morphology.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with suspected carotid artery stenosis underwent unenhanced MRA by using black-blood and TOF MRA and dual-source CTA. Source images from unenhanced MRAs and dual-source CTA were reconstructed with MIP or curved planar reconstruction. The degree of carotid artery stenosis was measured, and plaque surface morphology at the stenosis was analyzed and compared among different techniques.
RESULTS: Good correlation was observed for measuring the degree of carotid stenosis among dual-source CTA, black-blood MRA, TOF MRA, and DSA. Sensitivity and specificity for detecting severe stenosis were 100% and 97% with dual-source CTA, 100% and 95% with black-blood MRA, and 79% and 95% with TOF MRA. None of the 3 technologies resulted in stenosis of <50% being overestimated.Plaque surface irregularity or ulceration was more frequently detected with dual-source CTA and black-blood MRA than with TOF MRA and DSA.
CONCLUSIONS: This preliminary study shows that black-blood MRA is a promising technique, comparable with dual-source CTA and DSA, but better than TOF MRA, in the evaluation of carotid stenosis. Unlike dual-source CTA, black-blood MRA requires no intravenous contrast or radiation.

【摘要】
目的
评价颈动脉双源CTA中CT自动去骨去钙化斑块技术评价颈动脉狭窄的价值。
方法
纳入接受颈动脉双源CTA的疑似颈动脉狭窄患者43例,采用标准MIP及自动去骨去钙化斑块MIP技术重建图像,评估两种重建方法评价颈动脉狭窄与DSA结果的相关性,以DSA结果为金标准计算两种重建方法评估颈动脉狭窄程度的敏感度和特异度。
结果
DSA和CTA均发现53处颈动脉杈狭窄。去骨去钙化斑块MIP重建图像评价颈动脉狭窄程度与DSA间相关性(r2=0.96)高于标准MIP重建图像与DSA间相关性(r2=0.83)。去骨去钙化斑块和标准MIP重建图像诊断颈动脉闭塞敏感度均为100%(6/6),特异度为100%(47/47)和89.36%(42/47),诊断重度颈动脉狭窄敏感度为100%(15/15)和73.33%(11/15),特异度为94.74%(36/38)和89.47%(34/38),诊断轻、中度颈动脉狭窄敏感度为90.63%(29/32)和81.25%(26/32),特异度为100%(21/21)和95.24%(20/21)。
结论
颈动脉双源CTA中,采用去骨去钙化斑块技术可提高评价颈动脉狭窄程度准确性,具有良好的应用前景。
