Aquilion One - Genesis
• Radiation dose - very low
• Coronary Artery CT (CTCA)
• CT peripheral joints
• Dual Energy CT and Adrenal Lesions
![Page 3: Aquilion One - Genesis · PDF fileAquilion One - Genesis A Radiologist’s Perspective Dr Jenny Bramley Canberra Imaging Group jbramley@cig.com.au](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012900/5ab11a327f8b9ac66c8c1834/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
RADIATION DOSE
• Xrays: if increase dose - image is compromised (over-exposed)
• CT scans: no penalty for increased dose
- 11% imaging is CT, which contributes 65% of radiation dose for all diagnostic imaging

CT Radiation Dose
• CTDIvol - CT dose index (mGy)
• DLP - Dose Length Product (mGy.cm)
• Effective Dose = DLP x k factor (mSv)

CTCA Results
• CTCA has a high negative predictive value.
• This means that a coronary event in the next
five years is extremely low.

CT ADRENALS
• 4 - 5% on CT abdomen have adrenal lesions -
incidentalomas - in a patient without a known
malignancy
• Need to exclude malignancy and/or hormone
secreting
• Current imaging criteria for adenoma
– <10 HU on NON-CONTRAST CT (lipid rich - 70%)
– 3 phase study with calculation of washout.

CT Adrenal
![Page 35: Aquilion One - Genesis · PDF fileAquilion One - Genesis A Radiologist’s Perspective Dr Jenny Bramley Canberra Imaging Group jbramley@cig.com.au](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012900/5ab11a327f8b9ac66c8c1834/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why dual energy CT?
• Most adrenal lesions found on post-contrast CT abdomen scan
• Patient needs to return for a diagnostic adrenal study (Non-contrast +/- contrast and delayed scans)
• Increased radiation
• Virtual non-enhanced images from DECT -subtract the Iodine

Functioning Adrenal Nodules
• 5-10% subclinical or early Cushing syndrome
• 5% phaeochromocytoma
• 1% aldosteronoma
• Routine hormone evaluation:
– 1mg dexamethasone suppression test (or 24 hr
urinary cortisol level)
– Plasma (or urine) metanephrines
– Aldosterone-to-renin activity ratio (if patient
hypertensive or with low potassium)

Development of Secreting
Adrenal Nodules
• Adrenal lesions may develop cortisol
hyperfunction over time
• Lesion size >2.4cm increased risk of becoming
hormonally active (47% at 5 years)
• So - annual hormonal testing for 4 years
