Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine the correlation between patient attributes and contrast enhancement in liver parenchyma and demonstrate the potential for patient-informed prediction and optimization of contrast enhancement in liver imaging. METHODS: The study included 418 chest/abdomen/pelvis computed tomography scans, with 75% to 25% training-testing split. Two regression models were built to predict liver parenchyma contrast enhancement over time: first model (model A) utilized patient attributes (height, weight, sex, age, bolus volume, injection rate, scan times, body mass index, lean body mass) and bolus-tracking data. A second model (model B) only used the patient attributes. Pearson coefficient was used to assess predictive accuracy. RESULTS: Weight- and height-related features were found to be statistically significant predictors (P < 0.05), weight being the strongest. Of the 2 models, model A (r = 0.75) showed greater accuracy than model B (r = 0.42). CONCLUSIONS: Patient attributes can be used to build prediction model for liver parenchyma contrast enhancement. The model can have utility in optimization and improved consistency in contrast-enhanced liver imaging.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Medical Physics
For my Medical Physics PhD dissertation research, I studied contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, with the goal of quantifying, managing, mitigating, monitoring, and optimizing variability of the protocol. I am looking forward to be applying physics knowledge and technique to the field of medicine.

Ria

Francesco Ria

Assistant Professor of Radiology

Dr. Francesco Ria is a medical physicist and he serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology. Francesco has an extensive expertise in the assessment of procedure performances in radiology. In particular, his research activities focus on the simultaneous evaluation of radiation dose and image quality in vivo in computed tomography providing a comprehensive evaluation of radiological exams. Moreover, Francesco is developing and investigating novel mathematical models that, uniquely in the radiology field, can incorporate a comprehensive and quantitative risk-to-benefit assessment of the procedures; he is continuing to apply his expertise towards the definition of new patient specific risk metrics, and in the assessment of image quality in vivo also using state-of-the-art imaging technology, such as photon counting computed tomography scanners, and machine learning reconstruction algorithms.

Dr. Ria is a member of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine task group 392 (Investigation and Quality Control of Automatic Exposure Control System in CT), of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine Public Education working group (WGATE), and of the Italian Association of Medical Physics task group Dose Monitoring in Diagnostic Imaging.
