Abstract

Background : Field of view (FOV) is one of paramaters in MRI that is possibly adjusted by a radiographer. Many various adjusment of FOV that are using for lumbar MR Imaging. This study is to determine the effect of variations in the value of FOV to the image quality and anatomical information.Methods : This is a quasy experimental research. The study was conducted with 1.5 Tesla MRI. Data were collected from three volunteers with 5 variations of FOV (17cm, 22cm, 27cm, 32cm and 37cm) which is totally 15 images acquired.  Images were evaluated according to the objective evaluation of SNR and CNR  by a software in the MRI machine. Quntitative measurements of SNR were conducted on corpus vertebrae, discus intervertebralis, medulla spinalis, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and ligamentum flavum respectively. While CNR measurements were on CSF-corpus vertebra, CSF-discus intervertebralis, CSF-medulla spinalis, medulla spinalis-corpus vertebra, medulla spinalis-discus intervertebralis and corpus vertebra-discus intervertebralis. For conspicuity, overall image contrast and artifacts were evaluated qualitatively by three radiologists scoring on the paper sheet based on the image of corpus vertebrae, discus intervertebralis, medulla spinalis, cerebrospinal fluid, ligamentum flavum. Quantitative data of SNR and CNR value were analyzed using Linier Regression and Correlation Spearman test. While radiologists scoring were analyzed using Friedman test and cross tabulation.Results : The results showed that FOV variations affect the image qualities of T2WI FSE sagital lumbar MR Imaging. FOV variations are significantly corelate to the SNR of corpus vertebra, discus intervertebralis, medulla spinalis, CSF and ligamentum flavum. FOV variations are also significantly correlate to the CNR value  of CSF-corpus vertebra, CSF-discus intervertebralis, CSF-medulla spinalis, medulla spinalis-corpus vertebra and medulla spinalis-discus intervertebralis (p values 0,05) with positive correlation.  But there is  no correlation between FOV variations  and CNR  at the corpus vertebra-discus intervertebralis (p values = 0,109).Conclusion : Based on these results indicate that overall image and artifacts are relatively similar for all value of FOV variations.  Optimal values of FOV for T2WI FSE sagittal lumbar MR Imaging is a FOV of  27 cm.

Abstract

Backgroud: Limitations in a radiographic projection of the Left lateral decubitus (LLD) ussually challanges most of the Radiografers who intent to apply the technique toward patients with acute abdoment clinical cases. Related problems that occasionally come up with the LLD projection are the fixed patient positioning and the waiting time it takes to keep patient in the same position. The poor quality of  the LLD radiograph and less imaged optimalisation of the free-air below the right diapragm lead to a dificult radiological interpretation. The study aims to design an aided patient fixation tool with its controlling timer used for the LLD projection; and to examine the the functional performance of the tool.Methods: the research is qualitative approached with an experimental study. Several steps following the reseach are creation of the master plan designs and selection of materials that  should be used to develop an appropriate aided patient fixation tool with controlling timer for LLD projection; evaluation of the 5 designed tool system components (seated patient, cassette holder, safety belt, electronic sensored movement, andthe timer); and qualitative testing of the tool function and veryfication. The 6 aspects of tool performances have been decided to be complianced indicators whereas 5 observers (expert Radiographers) blended in the evaluation of the aided tool, and the tool has firmed to meet its requirement if the total observer’s score is greater and equal to 2,00Results: In general, the resulted tool perfomance testing fulfilled the requirements of the tool functions as it used for some radiographic procedures of the acute abdoment-LLD projection. The tool performance scores of convenince and reliability equipment showed at 2,25 and 2,75 which meant that a general radiographic quality was looking good without any presense of the artifacts. Morover, the scores for timer and censored devices were 2,70 and 2,65 recpectively, by this clearly described  a proper function of timer control and indicator components. The total score for radiation safety evaluation contributed to the higest score amongst all aspects being assessed that was 2,80.Conclusion: The design of the aided patient fixation tool with controlling timer for LLD projection has not only met functional requirements but it has also proven to subtitute some limitations about maintaning good image quality when applied the LLD projection. Radiologic expertation on the LLD-radiograph of the acute abdoment obviously contributed to optimal clinical information

Abstract

Background: Callibration of  CT number and uniformity is very important to the CT QC program particularly when the program aims to ensure that the CT Scanner equipment operates within the manufacturer's specifications. Since the commercial CT QC phantom is not always available or affordable in the department, a simple, easy and cheap modified CT water phantom design could be useful to support further regular departmental CT QC program.Purpose: (1) to design , a simple and an easy to handle of the modified CT water phantom,  and (2) to verify its callibration and measurement functions based on to the gold standard of a commercial CT water phantom.Methods: This study is an experimental research laboratories, where a modified design of  CT water phantom is then compared to the comercial gold standard CT water  phantom. The commercial CT water phantom uses a cylindrical phantom that contains water with various diameter in sizes. In the modified CT phantom design, it filled with water as well, where the three different size in phantom diameters (15 cm, 20 cm and 32 cm recpectively) created for specific measurement purpose that of the CT Number and uniformity CT Number.Results: Calliberating the function of the modified CT phantom design resulted in the three observasional data. For all different phantom diameters (15, 20 and 32 cm) showed some variation about their CT number and homogenity. Most of the callibration and homogenity tests of the CT number in water deemed significant (cal. CT number for the 20 cm and 32 diameter phantoms, 0,001 0,05 and sig. 0,04 0,05 respectively), instead of that the uniformity test  of the phantom sized with 20 cm in diameter (0,432 0,05).Conclussion: A modified water CT phantom designed with 20 cm in diameter could be used for measurement of the CT number uniformity. Yet, measurements of the CT number callibration and uniformity needed to be consider againts from a failed measurement due to the phantom problem design with sizes at 20 and 32 cm in diameters.

Abstract

Background: Fat saturation is an alternative technique to improve image information in T1 WI post contrast MRI of brain tumor. It can increase lesion conspituity by suppressing normal tissue’s signal. To optimize image information by using fat saturation, selection of Fat Saturation type and Time Repetition (TR) value are important.Objectives: to analyze the differences in T1 WI post-contrast image information in MRI of brain tumor in various type of Fat Saturation and TR value.Methods: Experimental study with factorial design conducted in  Telogorejo Hospital-Semarang. Nine combinations (9 groups) of three Fat Saturation types (none, weak, and strong) by three TR values (700 ms, 750 ms, and 800 ms) were given to 12 patients of MRI brain tumor. Image informations were assessed by measuring  SNR (white matter, gray matter, lesions, surrounding tissue), CNR (white matter- gray matter, white matter-CSF, gray matter-CSF, lesion- surrounding tissue), lesion conspituity, artifacts, and contrast image in general.Results: The results showed that there were significant differences in SNR of white matter, gray matter, and in surrounding tissue (p 0.05); CNR of white matter-CSF, gray matter-CSF, lesion-tissue surrounding tissue (p 0.05); and lesion conspituity (p 0.05) between groups with no sat fat, weak fat sat, and strong fat sat. There were significant differences in SNR of white matter, gray matter, and surrounding tissue (p 0.05); and CNR of white matter-CSF, gray matter-CSF, and lesion- surrounding tissue (p 0.05) between group TR 700 ms, TR 750 ms, and TR 800 ms.Conclusion: Combination of strong fat saturation and TR 700 ms can produce the most optimal image information.
