Minimum scan speeds for suppression of motion artifacts in CT

CJ Ritchie, JD Godwin, CR Crawford, W Stanford, H Anno and Y Kim
Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington, Seattle 98195.

Cardiac and ventilatory motions cause artifacts at chest computed tomography (CT). To determine how short the scan times on third- generation units must be to avoid such artifacts, motion was measured with fast and ultrafast CT scans. Minimum detectable motion was then determined. The longest scan time that avoided a barely perceptible artifact was calculated by dividing the minimum detectable motion by the peak physiologic velocity. The posterior left ventricular wall moved at a maximum velocity of 52.5 mm/sec, necessitating a scan time of 19.1 msec or less to avoid artifact. Lung vessels near the heart moved at 40.5 mm/sec for a scan time of 24.7 msec or less. During quiet breathing, pulmonary vessels moved at 10.7 mm/sec for a scan time of 93.5 msec or less. The authors conclude that the shortest scan time on third-generation units (0.6 second) cannot prevent all artifacts arising from motion in the chest. Even ultrafast scan times (50 msec) are not short enough to eliminate artifacts on these units. Thus, reduction of motion artifacts will require techniques other than fast scanning.
