Calcium and material characterization in women using dual-energy computed tomography - Nicholas Petrick, PhD, CDRH

Large numbers of cardiovascular events occur in asymptomatic people who do not have a high level of risk in terms of multivariable risk scores. Novel risk markers (e.g., CT coronary calcium scoring) have been suggested as additional ways to identify patients for primary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD). The calcium score is a summary measure of coronary health with higher scores indicating higher risk of CAD. Women have smaller, faster beating hearts and smaller arteries than men increasing the error in calcium scoring in women. Little research has been conducted to address gender differences or to develop methods for quantifying calcium score measurement error. In addition, little work has been done validating the performance of calcium scoring in dual-energy CT scans. Dual-energy CT has the ability to differentiate tissues and may reduce x-ray dose. This research project will investigate how quantitative coronary calcium scoring is affected by CT acquisition techniques with a special focus on quantifying and comparing the accuracy and precision of single- and dual-energy CT in women. The project will identify gender differences in calcium scoring and determine how CT acquisitions can be optimized to both minimize measurement error and the x-ray dose to the patient.
