A Novel Dosimetry System for Computed Tomography using Phototransistor
Computed tomography (CT) dosimetry normally uses an ionization chamber 100 mm long to estimate the computed tomography dose index (CTDI), however some reports have already indicated that small devices could replace the long ion chamber to improve quality assurance procedures in CT dosimetry. This paper presents a novel dosimetry system based in a commercial phototransistor evaluated for CT dosi...
متن کاملDevelopment of Computed Tomography Head and Body Phantom for Organ Dosimetry
Introduction: Quality assurance in Computed tomography (CT) centers in developing countries are largely hindered by the unavailability of CT phantoms. The development of a local CT phantom for the measurement of organ radiation absorbed dose is therefore requisite. Material and Methods: Local CT phantoms were designed to meet the standard criteria of 32 cm diameter for body, 16 cm diameter for...
متن کاملCharacterization of Three Photodetector Types for Computed Tomography Dosimetry
In this study three commercial semiconductor devices were characterized in the laboratory for computed tomography dosimetry: one photodiode and two phototransistors. It was evaluated four responses to the irradiation: dose linearity, energy dependence, angular dependence and loss of sensitivity after X ray exposure. The results showed that the three devices have proportional response with the a...
متن کاملQuality Control and Patient Dosimetry on line for Computed Tomography
The aim of this work is to present the functionalities and first results of an automatic system on quality control and patient dosimetry for diagnostic radiology, and its application to computed tomography (CT) in a big university hospital. The system is directly connected to the PACS (Picture Archive an Communication System) of the hospital and extracts useful information contained in the DICO...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography System for Radiation Dosimetry
Introduction: According to the literature, optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used measure radiation absorbed dose. This study was carried out to design a computed tomography system for the calculation of absorbed dose and optimization of dose delivery in radiotherapy using gel dosimeters. Material and Methods: An advanced charge-coupled device based OCT system was developed in laborator...
