Abstract:
Objective To compare the spectral computed tomography (CT) findings of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma versus peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma. Methods A total of 122 cases of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma and 89 cases of peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma were analyzed retrospectively.All of these cases were proved by pathology and received energy spectral CT examination. The CT40 keV, CT70 keV, CT100 keV, iodine (water) concentration (IC), water (iodine) concentration (WC) and effective atomic number (Zeff) were measured in the arterial phase and the venous phase, and the slope of spectral curve (K70 keV) was calculated. The differences of spectral parameters between two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference between two groups in clinical features and symptoms (P>0.05) except gender (P<0.05). In the arterial phase and the venous phase, the CT40 keV, CT70 keV, K70 keV, IC and Zeff of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma were higher than those of peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma, with statistical differences (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found inWC and CT100 keV between two groups (P>0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the combination of quantitative parameters in the arterial phase had better diagnostic efficiency than the combination of quantitative parameters in the venous phase, and that the area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity of the former were 86%, 77%, and 83%, respectively. Conclusion There are some differences in spectral CT findings between peripheral lung adenocarcinoma and peripheral lung squamous cell carcinoma, which can provide reference for the differential diagnosis.
