OBJECTIVE: To create a map of iodine densities within affected segments of small-bowel Crohn disease (CD) derived from contrast-enhanced dual-energy computed tomography enterography (DECTE) studies.
METHODS: Twenty CD patients imaged with intravenous contrast-enhanced DECTE between June 2016 and December 2017 were retrospectively identified. Ten patients without clinical evidence of CD and 8 normal-appearing jejunal segments in CD patients were controls. Using prototype software, 8 manual contours were drawn along the mucosa of affected segments. Relatively normal-appearing bowel was included at the edges. These contours served as a basis for iodine density calculation and 3-dimensional iodine density map rendering. Color-coded iodine densities allowed detection and quantification of the most and least dense portion of each segment and also permitted relative comparison between segments.
RESULTS: The average iodine density per CD involved segment ranged 1.0 to 3.3 mg/mL, which differed significantly from normal ileum (P < 0.0001) and normal-appearing jejunum in patients with CD (P = 0.0009). Standard deviations ranged from 0.8 to 1.7 mg/mL, which differed significantly from normal ileum (P = 0.0039) and normal-appearing jejunum in patients with CD (P = 0.0056). The amplitude of the power spectrum ranged from 0.66 to 3.3 demonstrating patches of iodine rather than uniform distribution. This differed significantly from normal ileum (P = 0.0005) and normal-appearing jejunum in patients with CD (P = 0.0004).
CONCLUSIONS: Heterogeneous CD activity and distribution can be displayed as iodine density maps created from DECTE.
