Abstract

Type A aortic dissection is a longitudinal tear separating the intima layer from the aortic media and is often not clearly visible due to cardiac motion which can reduce image quality and misrepresent the lumen so that the flowing blood causes several problems such as the aortic root and ascending aorta. CT angiography with ECG gating was chosen to reduce the images of cardiac movement. The purpose is to evaluate the examination procedure and anatomical description of the CT Angiography examination with Gating ECG. The research method is descriptive qualitative research with a case study approach with samples selected based on the examination diagnosis with type A aortic dissection. Observation, documentation, interviews did data collection. Data analysis is described in a descriptive narrative, and a conclusion is drawn. The result of the study is that CT angiography examination with ECG gating provides accurate information that the coronary arteries originate from the true lumen. In this phase, there are no lines that show a significant picture of heart movement disorders so that the coronary arteries can be assessed properly. The anatomical features of MIP, CPR, and VRT visualize the aortic root region until the coronary arteries are displayed more informatively than heart movement disorders. The conclusion is that CTA examination with ECG gating can show the aortic root in cases of type A dissection located at the root or ascending aorta and minimize heart movement interference with MIP, CPR and VRT.

Abstract

Background: Routine pelvic radiograph examination commonly performed in diagnostic radiology services is a pelvic examination of anteroposterior projection (AP). This results in direct exposure to ionizing radiation to the internal organs in the lower abdomen, especially the reproductive organs. Purpose: Optimizing the dosage of AP projection pelvic radiographs. Method: Research is conducted quantitatively and used experimental approach with an analysis of 15% mAs reduction from the standard mAs value on AP projection pelvic examination on radiation dose and image quality using anthropomorphic phantoms. The radiation dose analysis uses the exposure index indicator. In contrast, the image quality uses the Visual Grading Analysis method, then it was continued with the Kappa Cohens test to determine the level of agreement between 2 respondents. Result: The exposure factor with the mAs value reduced by 15% from the standard exposure factor on the AP projection pelvic radiography affected the decrease in the value exposure index. The EI value generated from the optimization exposure factor shows a decrease to 300 EI, which means the dose produced is only half of the standard exposure factor dose but still produces an acceptable image, as evidenced by the VGA score. As an assessment of image quality. In this study, there was no significant difference with range VGA scores 1,7. Besides that, the test had the Kappa Cohens level of agreement with a value of 0.5-0.8. Conclusion: All images resulting from the 15% mAs value reduction variation can be used as a diagnostic assessment.

Abstract

Several previous studies have shown that without dose evaluation and monitoring, there is a potential for deterministic radiation effects in 3D-CRT procedures. This study is expected to close the gap by conducting a more comprehensive evaluation of the 3D-CRT technique for breast cancer patients. The research method is quantitative analysis with a study sample of 20 breast cancer patients. Data processing was carried out by conducting statistical tests for the distribution value of organs at risk (OAR) against the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) guidelines and analyzing the conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) values according to the values recommended by the International Commission Radiation Unit (ICRU). The results of this study obtained OAR doses for the lungs and heart are still within the tolerance value limits set by RTOG p-value <0.05. then for CI and HI there is a deviation p-value <0.05 that there is a difference between the values obtained and the ICRU recommended value. This is due to the location of the target or tumor adjacent to the OAR, to keep the OAR value in accordance with the specified limit value.

Abstract

To optimize head CT examination protocols, tube current-time (mAs) variation and the use of iterative reconstruction (IR) are often combined to decrease radiation dose to patients, which may have an impact on image quality and radiation dose. Modulation transfer function (MTF) is an objective measurement to determine the spatial resolution of CT images, so it is expected to provide information on ideal optimization parameters considering radiation dose and image quality. The research method is quantitative descriptive type, data collection was carried out at one of the hospitals in Padang in the August-December period of 2024. Then CT imaging was performed using a head CT protocol that was exposed to the phantom daily CT QC with variations in tube-current of 200 mAs, 300 mAs and a combination of IR with iDose and without iDose. The analysis was performed on 10 pieces of head CT images which will then calculate the 50% MTF value using imageJ. After that, the results of the study will be carried out by making a graph of the average value and a comprehensive literature review is carried out to analyze the tube current-time variation with MTF measurements on head CT images. The results showed that the MTF values of the time-current tube and IR variations tended to have the same pattern for all, so that in this study it can be said that variations in tube current-time (mAs) and iterative reconstruction (IR) cannot affect MTF.
