AbstractPurpose: To prospectively compare image quality and volume computed tomographic (CT) dose index (CTDI vol) of 16-detector CT angiograms of the abdomen acquired with 0.625-mm coUimation with those of images acquired with 1.25-mm col- limation. Materials and Methods: This study had institutional review board approval, and informed consentwas obtained fromallpatients. Dual-phase contrast material- enhanced CT was performed in 78 patients (48 men and 30 women; age, 34-91 years; mean age, 64.8 years) by using a 16-detector CT scanner. Patients were prospectively randomized into two equal-sized groups: those who underwent CT with 0.625-mm collimation and nonoverlapped reconstruction and those who underwent CT with 1.25-mm collimation and 50% overlapped reconstruction. Scan acquisition time was 7.5 seconds in both groups. CTDI vol was recorded. Arterial phase volume-rendered, arterial phase multiplanar reformatted, and portal venous phase multiplanar reformatted CT an- giograms were generated. Qualitative assessment was performed for image quality and for depiction of splanchnic, intercostal, and lumbar arteries and veins. The unpaired t test was used for statistical comparison. Results: On the arterial phase CT angiograms, there was no difference between the two collimation groups for the depiction of proximal splanchnic arteries, while the dorsal pancreatic, intercostal, and lumbar arteries and some peripheral splanchnic arterial branches were better delineated on CT scans obtained with 0.625-mm collimation than on scans obtained with 1.25-mm collimation (P <.05). Regarding the portal venous phase CT angiograms, no difference between the two groups was found in most veins, except the right adrenal vein (P =.003). Image quality was superior for 1.25-mm collimation (P <.001). CTDIvol values were positively correlated with patient body weight (r = 0.34, P <.001) but had no correlation with collimation size (P=.24). Conclusions: Scanning with 1.25-mm collimation seems adequate for a routine CT angiography examination of most arteries and veins at 16-detector CT, while scanning with 0.625-mm collimation facilitates improved delineation of fine vessels. CTDI vol values correlate positively with body weight but have no correlation with collimation size. © RSNA, 2008.
