Thyroid dose and dose reduction method from CT scan of head and neck
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) consists of 11% of all imaging methods, but accounts for approximately 67% of radiation exposure due to diagnostic cases. More than one-third of all CT scans are done in the head and neck area. The thyroid gland is irradiated during CT head and neck. According to studies, this gland has the highest levels of radiation-induced cancer, and i...
متن کاملMC SIMULATION OF SCATTER INTENSITIES IN A CONE-BEAM CT SYSTEM EMPLOYING A 450 kV X-RAY TUBE
A Monte Carlo simulation, based on GEANT4, has been developed to compute the contribution of first-order, second-order, and higher order scattering in a Computed Tomography (CT) system equipped with an industrial 450 kV X-ray tube and an area detector. The validation of simulation against the experimental data showed a good agreement. The amount of scattering produced by several hollow aluminum...

PURPOSE To study the effect of different filters on the dose response curves of the Gafchromic XRQA2 film. To measure the kV XVI cone-beam CT (CBCT) surface dose received during 3D and 4D imaging protocols in three body regions (head and neck, chest and pelvis). METHODS GafChromic XR- QA2 film (International Specialty Products, Wayne, NJ) dose response curves were generated for three irradiat...
متن کاملSkull X-Ray and CT. Scan in the Management of Head Injuries
Accident records of the Frenchay Accident and Emergency Department for the months of January to June 1979 were examined, and 1,534 cases of head injury were recorded. Of these, the numbers of cases submitted to skull x-ray, admitted to hospital and having CT scans were noted. 1,341 skull x-rays were performed of which 23 showed fractures of the cranial vault. 351 patients were admitted, and of ...
متن کاملLow-Dose and Scatter-Free Cone-Beam CT Imaging Using a Stationary Beam Blocker in a Single Scan: Phantom Studies
Excessive imaging dose from repeated scans and poor image quality mainly due to scatter contamination are the two bottlenecks of cone-beam CT (CBCT) imaging. Compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction algorithms show promises in recovering faithful signals from low-dose projection data but do not serve well the needs of accurate CBCT imaging if effective scatter correction is not in place. Scatter ...
