1 DUAL ENERGY of the Pancreas Desiree E. Morgan, MD Professor and Vice Chair Clinical Research Director Human Imaging Shared Facility UAB CCC University of Alabama at Birmingham
2 Opportunities to improve? Liver and Pancreas Focal lesions Focal lesions: identify early stage tumors; characterize cystic lesion better Identify material characteristics of tissues: early pancreatic necrosis Reduce contrast use, reduce artifacts (metal) Assess early response to therapy (nonanatomic)
3 Pancreas & Abd Dual Energy Literature
4 dsdect Dual Source: 90 offset of separate 80 kvp and 140 kvp beams Beam hardening Smaller FOV for second beam Material decomposition and monochromatic images in IMAGE SPACE
5 dsdect Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Macari et al AJR 2010
6 At UAB Single Source Standard MDCT images (polychromatic) 140, 80 kvp beams Single fast switching source Near-simultaneous acquisition data sets at 140 and 80 kvp Single fast response Garnet gemstone detector Simulated Monochromatic Images in PROJECTION SPACE
7 Flux Spectrum of Monoenergetic Images Monochromatic (one color) x-ray energy kvp ~ kev kev specifies the photon energy for a monochromatic x-ray source 70 kev Energy Matsumoto K. Radiology kvp 140 kvp kvp defines the upper limit x-ray for a polychromatic x-ray beam
8 Dual Energy in Daily Practice Multiphasic Pancreas exams CU 120 kvp PPP kvp PVP 120 kvp Pancreatic Mass kev To PACS GSI Viewer
9 What s it look like? ssde scanner Gemstone Spectral Image (GSI) Viewer (0.625mm) Routine PACS (2.5mm) kVp
10 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Gemstone Spectral Image (GSI) Viewer Monochromatic image simulates single energy level (kev) Spectral HU curves- greater degree of separation of tumoral and nontumoral pancreas attenuation at lower kev
11 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma 50 kev 70 kev 80 kev 100 kev 310 HU 130 HU 147 HU 64 HU 107 HU 44 HU 63 HU 24 HU
12 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Gemstone Spectral Image (GSI) Viewer Energy level can be optimized based on contrast to noise ratio (CNR) between tumoral and nontumoral pancreas Window/Level 400/40 for both
13 Panc AdenoCa: Initial Observations 64 subjects with panc adeno Lesion conspicuity evaluated on GSI viewer at 3 energies: Morgan et al RSNA 2010
14 Implications Mean conspicuity increase between 70 kev and CNR-optimized kev was 57 HU Median CNR-optimized viewing kev = 50 Viewing at low (but not lowest) kev on GSI viewer may: Identify non-contour altering isoattenuating masses Depict tumor borders for resectability prediction
15 Noncontour-altering Panc Adeno kev=70 kev=49 W/L=400/40 W/L=465/79
16 So, can it help? Early pancreatic necrosis versus IEP?
17 So, can it help? Early pancreatic necrosis versus IEP? Measure Iodine Iodine image

21 Cystic Panc Masses: Initial Observations Compared lesion nodules and septations at two energy levels: 70 kev, CNR-opt kev With and without filter 47 patients, mean tumor 3.8 cm Optimized kev: mean 51 kev More septations were visualized at CNRopt kev (14.9%) and with filter (74.5%) More nodules were seen at CNR-opt kev (10.6%) and with filter (19.1%) CNR-opt kev plus filter resulted in highest increase for visualization of septations (91.5%) and nodules (25.5%) Pathological diagnosis available for: 11 IPMN, 3 MCN, 4 SCA, 2 PC Cunningham et al ARC 2011
