    Abstract
  •   Objective   To investigate the feasibility of low-dose CT scan of the temporal bone combined with reconstruction matrix size of 1 024×1 024 and the effect of the reconstruction matrix size on image quality.
      Methods   Normal-dose and low-dose bilateral temporal bone CT scans were performed on twelve adult male cadaveric skull specimens using the 160-slice multi-detector CT scanning of United Imaging Healthcare. Normal-dose CT images were reconstructed with matrix sizes of 512×512 and 1 024×1 024, while low-dose CT images were reconstructed with the matrix size of 1 024×1 024. CT value, noise, signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, the visualization scoring of 15 anatomical structures of the temporal bone, and the result of three-dimensional reconstruction of the ossicular chain were compared among the three groups.
      Results   The radiation dose of low-dose CT scanning was reduced by about 50% compared with that of normal-dose CT. There was no significant difference in CT values of air, soft tissues and bones among the three groups. Low-dose temporal bone CT with the matrix size of 1 024×1 024 had higher noise, but much better visualization of temporal bone structure than the normal-dose temporal bone CT with matrix size of 512×512. Both the three-dimensional reconstructions of normal-dose and low-dose 1 024×1 024 matrix images were satisfactory and showed no significant difference. The morphology, size and relative position of malleus, incus, stapes, cochlea, and labyrinth, as well as the location of the ossicular chain in the cranium were all clearly displayed.
      Conclusion   Low-dose temporal bone CT with the matrix size of 1 024×1 024 can be used to effectively reduce the radiation dose and significantly improve the spatial resolution and the visualization of the temporal bone anatomical structures compared with the normal-dose temporal bone CT with a matrix size of 512×512.
