16 March 2011Quantification of temporal resolution and its reliability in the context of TRI-PICCS and dual source CT
Temporal resolution is an important issue especially in cardiac CT. To quantify it, often merely the time that is
needed to acquire rawdata that contribute to a reconstructed image is used. In combination with more complex
reconstruction algorithms, which aim to improve the temporal resolution, (e.g. TRI-PICCS) this procedure
has proven to be inadequate. This study proposes and evaluates a more accurate simulation-based technique to
assess the temporal resolution of a CT system (including its reconstruction algorithm). To calculate the temporal
resolution of the system on a single point within the field of measurement, a vessel which performs a cardiac
motion pattern is simulated at this position. The motion pattern is adapted such that the accuracy loss caused
by motion exactly meets a defined threshold and then the temporal resolution can be taken from that motion
pattern. Additionally the dependency of the temporal resolution on the direction of the motion is evaluated to
obtain a measure of the reliability. The method is applied to single source and dual source full scan and short
scan reconstructions as well as on TRI-PICCS reconstructions. The results give an accurate impression on the
system response to motion. In conclusion, the proposed method allows quantifying the temporal resolution of a
CT system as a function of many parameters (motion direction, source position, object position, reconstruction
algorithm).
