Abstract

This study uses a Pediatric Thoracic phantom developed in-house to optimize low-dose pediatric chest CT examinations based on organ-specific dose and image quality. Four low-dose protocols, low kV and low mA, reconstructed using Filtered Back Projection (FBP) and iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms, were investigated. Lung, heart, and spinal cord doses were measured using calibrated Gafchromic LD-V1 Film. Evaluation of image spatial resolution and noise are considered. The CTDIvol results underestimate organ-specific doses. Low kV exposed an average dose of 29.55% less than low mA. No significant differences existed in the MTF curves of standard, low mA, or low kV doses. The peak NPS for low kV is significantly higher than for low mA. The combination of low kV and FBP produces images with better high spatial resolution. Meanwhile, combining low mA with an IR algorithm effectively reduces image noise so that low-contrast object detection improves.

Abstract

The fabricated 3D-printed bolus with 5 mm thick PLA and TPU materials was successfully used to analyze the air gap, relative electron density ( RED), and mass attenuation coefficient values for Post-Mastectomy Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy (PMRT). The 3D bolus was designed using 3D-Slicer Segment Editor software according to the thickness used, then smoothed and finished using Autodesk Meshmixer software, and printed on a 3D Creality printer. The air gap value was then analyzed by taking images from the phantom and 3D-printed bolus on a CT-Scan, then processed on Radiant DICOM, and the air gap value for the two 3D bolus materials was obtained. Analysis of two 3D bolus materials, PLA and TPU, showed that TPU is more suitable for bolus use in postmastectomy breast cancer cases based on its material properties. In addition, TPU is also better in terms of the air gap value because it has a smaller air gap, an RED value that is almost close to that of breast tissue, and better mass attenuation. Therefore, the recommended 3D-printed bolus material is TPU with a thickness of 5 mm as a tissue substitute for postmastectomy breast cancer cases.

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the estimated low dose and image quality of the in-house pediatric phantoms using the 128 slice CT-Scan. This study used in house pediatric phantoms (7 year). Twelve artificial cylinder targets were fabricated with diameters 3, 5, 8, and 10 mm, and CT densities -+100, -400, -750 HU. The image quality was performed using CT-Scan 128 slice (GE) with parameters of helical scanning using a low dose and standard dose and using 80 and 120 kV. For Signal noise to ratio (SNR), Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) were also investigated. Volumetric CT dose index (CTDIvol), Size‐Specific Dose Estimates (SSDE). The effective value of the diameter for 7-year-old was 20.15 cm. According to the study, the amount of radiation exposure measured as SSDE for in-house pediatric phantoms was found to be 3.71 mGy for low dose and 6.09 for standard dose. For image quality analysis, the low-dose CT protocol has a detection sensitivity of 100% for targets measuring > 5mm in diameter.
