Abstract

Panoramic dental radiography uses X-rays to produce radiographs of the jaw and facial structures, from the teeth to the TMJ and the entire dental arch. Exposure to X-rays during an examination can be problematic because sensitive areas such as the thyroid gland and eyes adjacent to tooth structure also receive radiation exposure. Patients in panoramic examinations do not use eye radiation protection equipment for the orbit, namely Pb glasses, while the eyes are close to the dental arch which can receive radiation exposure, so eye radiation protection equipment is needed in panoramic examinations for patient safety. The aim of the research is to determine the function test and performance test of the Eye Radiation Protection Device.This type of research is quantitative research with an experimental approach. The research sample was 3 patients with variations of 3 kV: 70, 76, and 86 kV with a setting of 10 mA. The radiation dose to the eye was measured using a phantom and pocket dosimeter before and after using the radiation protection design tool, then looking for the average, difference and percentage and carrying out the Kruskal-Wallis spss test.The results of the three radiographs showed no artifacts, the exposure factor before using the device was 70 kV = 0.08 mSv, 76 kV = 0.17, 86 kV = 0.27 mSv while the radiation dose received after using the device with an exposure factor of 70 kV = 0 mSv, 76 kV = 0.86 kV = 0.003 mSv, while from the Kruskall-walls statistical test pre-test and post test kV 70 shows a significant value of 0.034 0.05, kV 76 does not show a significant value of 0.121 0.05, kV 86 shows a significant value of 0.043 0.05. The design of this eye radiation protection device has succeeded in reducing or reducing the radiation dose around the eyes by up to 100%. Meanwhile, the level of feasibility of the tool has a respondent score of 80%. Suggestions for using a thermoluminescence radiation measuring instrument (TLD) with smaller units, namely µSv.

Abstract

This study addresses the crucial role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the head in detecting disorders of the trigeminal nerve, particularly trigeminal neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia can significantly affect quality of life and is commonly observed in the elderly. However, some hospitals face limitations due to the absence of image fusion features in their MRI modalities, highlighting the need for practical alternative solutions.This study proposes the development of a MATLAB-based image fusion application as a practical alternative. The use of this application is expected to enhance visualization of the trigeminal nerve and surrounding blood vessels, particularly in hospitals whose MRI devices lack integrated image fusion capabilities. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative analysis to describe the implementation process of image fusion using MATLAB, and quantitative analysis to compare the results with those from built-in fusion software on MRI machines.This study successfully implemented image fusion techniques using MATLAB on raw data obtained from CISS 3D and 3D TOF sequences, with a focus on visualizing the trigeminal nerve. The comparison between the fused images generated using MATLAB and those produced by the MRI system's built-in fusion software revealed significant differences. The MATLAB-based image fusion technique demonstrated a substantial contribution to improved understanding and diagnosis in medical practice, particularly in merging images from different MRI modalities. Thus, MATLAB-based fusion can be considered a relevant and progressive solution, especially for hospitals lacking access to advanced fusion technology.
