INTRODUCTION: Chest computed tomography (CT) is essential to monitor lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis, but it involves recurrent exposure to ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to compare the current complete CT protocol (volumetric end-inspiratory plus sequential expiratory acquisition) to a sequential expiratory acquisition protocol alone in terms of image analysis and ionizing radiation dose.
METHODS: Seventy-eight CT scans from 57 children aged 5 to 18 years old were scored on the complete protocol images and on the expiratory sequential images only. Each CT protocol was scored independently, using the Brody scoring system, by two paediatric radiologists.
RESULTS: Correlations between the Brody global scores of the two different CT protocols were very good (r=0.90 for both observers), for the bronchiectasis score (r=0.72 and 0.86), mucus plugging score (r=0.87 and 0.83), and expiratory trapped air (r=0.96 and 0.92). Total ionizing radiation dose was reduced, with the measured dose length product (DLP) reduced from 103.31mGy.cm (complete protocol) to 3.06mGy.cm (expiratory protocol) (P<0.001).
CONCLUSION: An expiratory chest CT protocol was accurate in diagnosing early signs of CF disease and permitted significant reduction of radiation dose. This protocol would allow spacing out of complete CT scanning with its higher radiation dose and should be considered for the monitoring of lung disease severity in children with CF.
