    1、ORIGINALRESEARCHDetection and Classification of Cranial DuralArteriovenous Fistulas Using 4D-CT Angiography:Initial ExperienceP.W.A. WillemsP.A. BrouwerJ.J. BarfettK.G. terBruggeT. KringsBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The criterion standard to diagnose and classify cranial DAVFs is DSA.Since this is invasi

    2、ve, relatively expensive and time-consuming, a noninvasive alternative is of interest.We aimed to evaluate the capabilities and pitfalls of 4D-CTA in a consecutive series of patients whopresented with a newly diagnosed cranial DAVF, as demonstrated by conventional DSA.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eleven p

    3、atients were included in this study after biplane DSA demon-strated a cranial DAVF. They subsequently underwent 4D-CTA imaging by using a 320-detector CTscanner. DSA and 4D-CTA studies were independently read by 2 blinded observers, by using astandardized scoring sheet. 4D-CTA results were analyzed

    4、with DSA as the criterion standard.RESULTS: In 10 cases, there was full agreement between DSA and 4D-CTA regarding the Bordenclassification. However, in the remaining patient, a slow-filling DAVF with a low shunt volume wasmissed by both readers on 4D-CTA. In all 10 detected cases, H113501 of the ma

    5、jor contributing arteriescould be identified with 4D-CTA. Although, by using DSA, the 2 observers identified additional arterialfeeders in 7 and 8 cases, respectively, these discrepancies did not influence clinical decision making.CONCLUSIONS: Although novel 4D-CTA imaging may not rule out a small s

    6、low-flow DAVF, it appearsto be a valuable new adjunct in the noninvasive diagnostic work-up, treatment planning, and follow-upof patients with cranial DAVFs.ABBREVIATIONS: CTA H11005 CT angiography; DAVF H11005 dural arteriovenous fistula; 4D-CTA H11005 4D(time-resolved) CTA; DSA H11005 digital subt

Therefore, correct diagnosisand

    9、 classification1,5of a DAVF greatly influences the appro-priate treatment strategy.The criterion standard to demonstrate and classify the in-appropriate filling of a pial vein or dural sinus fromH113501 duralartery,thehallmarkofaDAVF,isconventionalcatheter-basedangiography (DSA). Because DSA is rela

    10、tively expensive andtime-consuming and carries a rather high incidence of silentembolic events6and a small risk of transient or permanentneurologic deterioration,7-9a noninvasive alternative angio-graphicmethodisofinterest.Moreover,patientswithaDAVFmay undergo multiple angiographic evaluations with

    11、time. Inrecent years, MRA and CTA have shown sufficient spatial res-olution to answer many clinical neurovascular questions.10-12However, these vessel-cast techniques lack the temporal reso-lution necessary to visualize arteriovenous shunts or venousdrainage patterns.More recently, time-resolved tec

    12、hniques have emerged forboth MRA13,14and CTA.15Aside from generating cross-sec-tional images, these datasets enable visualization of blood-flow dynamics in cranial vessels with the first pass of an IVcontrast bolus. Hence, it is conceivable that they may replaceDSA in cases in which time-resolved im

Subsequently, IV infusion of 60 mL of nonionic contrastmediumand20mLofsalinewasperformed,followedbythedynamicacquisition sequence with a gantry rotation speed of 1

    23、 Hz. The dy-namicacquisitionsequenceconsistedof1maskvolume(80kVp,300mAs) and 22 dynamic volumes (80 kVp, 120 mAs). After subtractingthe mask volume from the dynamic volumes, a total of 7040 (22 H11003320) images were stored in DICOM files. The standard scanner soft-ware was capable of using these fi

The mean delay betweenthe2imagingmodalitieswas4H110064.0days,withamaximumof14days.Thefreq

    26、uenciesofpresentingsymptomsaccordingtoBorden type5, as demonstrated by DSA, are shown in Table 2.All DAVFs were detected by both readers on DSA. Ten ofthe 11 DAVFs were detected using 4D-CTA. The single casethat remained undetected by 4D-CTA (Fig 1) was a slow-flowshunt with a low shunt volume and c

    27、ortical venous drainage,which had presented with an intracranial hemorrhage. It wasclassified as a Borden grade III and Cognard1grade III lesion.With regard to the 10 DAVFs that were detected in the4D-CTA data, there was full agreement according to the Bor-den classification (see Fig 2 for an exampl

    28、e). Both readers dis-agreedontheCognardclassificationof1lesion,recordingitasIIaH11001b on DSA and as IIb only on 4D-CTA data, recognizingthe pial reflux but missing the retrograde sinusoidal flow (Fig3).Regarding feeding arteries, H113501 of the major contributingarteries could be identified with 4D

    29、-CTA in all 10 detectedcases. However, by using DSA, the 2 observers identified ad-ditional arterial feeders in 7 and 8 cases, respectively. Whenfeeders were classified according to their territory (ECA, ICA,or VA), both readers showed discrepancies between DSA and4D-CTA in 4 of 10 cases. In those c

    30、ases, 4D-CTA results re-flected the ECA supply to the DAVF correctly but failed toidentify additional smaller feeders from the ICA and/or VA.When comparing separate branches from these territories,listed in Table 1 under “Arterial feeders, small,” 1 readershowed disagreement in 3 more cases and the

    31、other in 4 morecases. In such cases, only the largest feeders from a given ter-ritory were recognized in the 4D-CTA data (Fig 2).With regard to the type of fistula (focal or diffuse) and theexistence of venous obstruction or an isolated sinus, eachreader individually showed full concordance between

    32、DSAand 4D-CTA. However, there was some disagreement be-tween the 2 observers regarding these characteristics: In 4cases, the readers disagreed as to whether the fistula was of afocal or diffuse nature; and in 2 cases, there was disagreementregarding the existence of venous outflow obstruction.Table

Endovasculartreatment was attempted in the other 9 patients. A trans-venous approach was chosen in 3 of thes

In 4 of the 6 patients treatedtransarterially,4D-CTAhadcorrectlyidentifiedallfeedingar-teries used to gain access to the shunt to deposit embolicmaterial.The radiation dose involved in 4D-CTA imaging will vary,dependingontheprotocolused.Withourcurre

The radiation dose receivedduring a DSA study is even more variable because it is depen-dent on many variables, such as the fluoroscopy time neededto navigate into vessels, the number of vessels studie

However, 1 DAVF incidentally found was ofBorden type III and 3 of 5 patients with tinnitus as their onlypresenting symptom harbored a type II or III DAVF. Thus,mild or absent

    43、symptoms do not exclude the possibility of apotentiallyaggressiveDAVF.Thesefindingsunderlinethene-cessity of an imaging tool capable not only of detecting theDAVFbutalsoofdescribingitscorticalvenousrefluxpattern,when present, because this is considered to be the major de-termining factor of the subs

    46、he early venous phase, shows the same pial vein (arrow). Because visualization of the pial veins is expected on global opacification, only early fillingwould indicate a DAVF. However, due to the slow flow through the fistula, early venous filling could not be identified. Hence, this 4D-CTA study was

    47、 read as having normal findings.Fig 2. Imaging of a 60-year-old woman who presented with a right-sided pulse-synchronous tinnitus. A, DSA, lateral view after right ECA injection, demonstrates a DAVF (Borden I andCognard I) at the level of the left sigmoid sinus (large arrow). The lesion is fed throu

Compared with the DSA, the 4D-CTA is in agreement with regard to the site and classification of thelesion, as well as to its dominant feeder from the occipital artery (large arrowhead). However, although the smaller feeder from the middle meningeal artery can be seen (small arrowhead),neither reader had recorded it as such The small arrow indicates the arterial network feeding the fistula.AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 32:4953 H20841 Jan 2011 H20841 www.ajnr.org 51for observing structural changes such as hydrocephalus or ahematoma or f
