Optimization of Radiation Dose in Cranial Computed Tomography among Adults: Assessment of Radiation Dose against Image Quality
Introduction: The rapid use of computed tomography (CT) scan is of great concern, due to increase in patients’ dose. Optimization of CT protocol is a vital issue in dose reduction. This study aimed to optimize radiation dose in cranial CT and assess modifications in image quality under radiation dose reduction. Material and Methods: A poly(me...
متن کاملCone beam computed tomography radiation dose and image quality assessments.
Diagnostic radiology has undergone profound changes in the last 30 years. New technologies are available to the dental field, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as one of the most important. CBCT is a catch-all term for a technology comprising a variety of machines differing in many respects: patient positioning, volume size (FOV), radiation quality, image capturing and reconstruction, image ...
متن کاملEffect of Low Tube Voltage on Image Quality, Radiation Dose, and Low-Contrast Detectability at Abdominal Multidetector CT: Phantom Study
PURPOSE To investigate the effect of low tube voltage (80 kV) on image quality, radiation dose, and low-contrast detectability (LCD) at abdominal computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A phantom containing low-contrast objects was scanned with a CT scanner at 80 and 120 kV, with tube current-time product settings at 150-650 mAs. The differences between image noise, contrast-to-noise ...
متن کاملPatient dose and image quality in computed tomography.
The relation between radiation dose in neurologic computed tomography scanning and image quality is described. Three different sets of images were obtained at varying exposures and were quantitatively evaluated by a panel of neuroradiologists. Anatomic information in the image varied with exposure. The relation of image quality and dose conforms to previous theoretical results and suggests that...
متن کاملDose and Image Quality Considerations in Computed Tomography
Title of thesis: DOSE AND IMAGE QUALITY CONSIDERATIONS IN COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY Samir F Abboud, Master of Science, 2011 Thesis directed by: Professor Iacovos Kyprianou Department of Bioengineering The increased use of Computed Tomography as an imaging modality is of concern because of the growing body of evidence linking radiation exposure to cancer incidence. However, a framework does not yet ex...
