Abstract

Background: Film processing is an activity to obtain a permanent and real picture of a film, which can be seen with the eye in general conditions. The developer fluid is very influential on the image produced in the film. After exposure, it will be placed in the next step, namely the washing process, so as to produce a permanent image and make a diagnosis. Each exposure of washing film from one film to another, there is a difference in processing time. The more films that are processed, the longer the film processing time is required. The purpose of this study is to see the effect of developer pH on inefficient factors that lead to the film processing time in a dark room. Methods: The research design used was experimental with research samples tested on pH developers in the Radiology Installation of RSUD Pesawaran. Result: Calculation analysis, measurement test result of developer pH measurement to the time of generation on the film was the sig. value which was 0,000 and the degree of relationship value was - 0,983. Conclusion: Based on the provisions, the sig. value of 0.000 <0.05 then Ho was rejected or it was stated that there was a relationship between variable X (pH value) and variable Y (Time).

Abstract

Background: Multislice CT Scan (MSCT) brain examination in pediatric cases should pay attention to the lowest possible dose but still provide optimal anatomical information. Pediatric has a higher risk of developing cancer compared to adults who receive the same dose. The purpose of this study is to obtain the optimal value of the use of the Adaptive Statistical Iterative Reconstruction (ASIR)-V technique with variations in tube current strength and Iterative Reconstruction value which is implemented in pediatric patients under the age of 5 (five) years. Methods: This research was experimental with brain image samples of pediatric patients at the Radiology Installation of RSUD dr. Moewardi Surakarta. The variations of the tube currents selected were 80, 100, and 165 mA with a combination of AR20, AR40, AR60, and AR80 variations. Anatomical information processed descriptively sourced from the assessment of 3 (three) radiologists who were experienced in assessing MSCT images. Meanwhile, the effect of tube current variation on radiation dose was tested using linear regression. Results: The results showed differences in anatomical information between the combinations of 165 mA-AR60 and 165 mA-AR80 "very clear", 165 mA-AR20 "clear", 80 mA-AR20 "fairly clear" and 100 mA-AR80 "less clear". There was an effect of strong variation of tube current on radiation dose with a regression coefficient value of 0.690. The estimated effective doses of the three tube current values were still below the national Dose Reference Level (DRL). Conclusions: It was concluded that there were differences in anatomical information on the MSCT brain pediatric examination with variations in tube current and ASiR-V, there was an effect of variations in mA on radiation dose and mA values and the optimal value of the combination of techniques studied is 80 mA and 20% Iterative Reconstruction.

Abstract

Background: The sternum's radiographic examination involves the use of Right Anterior Oblique (RAO) and Lateral projections. However, if a patient cannot undergo RAO projection, Left Posterior Oblique (LPO) projection in the supine position and adjusting the central ray angle are alternatives. On another note, deviations from perpendicular alignment among the central ray, image receptor, and object can lead to distortions in shape, impacting image quality. Hence, a study is conducted to investigate the impact of beam angle variations on the quality of anatomical information in sternum radiographs to identify the optimal angle that yields the highest quality anatomical information in sternum radiographs. Methods: This research was quantitative research employing an experimental methodology. Data collection involved employing a single-body phantom, which underwent three exposures at each of the specified angle variations Results: Based on the results of the Kruskal Wallis test, there were significant differences in the quality of radiographic anatomic information (p value < 0.05). The angle with the most optimal quality of radiographic anatomical information was an angle of 25° to the left with a mean rank value of 11.00. Conclusions: There was a significant difference in the quality of radiographic anatomic information (p value < 0.05). The angle with the most optimal quality of radiographic anatomic information was the angle with the highest mean rank value, which was an angle of 25° to the left.

Abstract

Background: The T2 and PD sequences are the most sensitive sequences in evaluating injury to the ACL and surrounding soft tissue. Based on observations at the Radiology Installation of Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta, the anatomical information generated in the MRI knee joint examination of the PD SPACE FS sequence is almost the same as the T2 SPACE FS sequence. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in anatomical information and optimal sequences on MRI examination of the knee joint sagittal section sequences of PD SPACE FS and T2 SPACE FS in clinical ACL rupture.Method: This research was a quantitative study with an experimental approach, carried out at the Radiology Installation of Dr. Sardjito Hospital Yogyakarta on 10 samples with the application of different sequences for each sample, with the anatomy assessed by the informant namely ACL, meniscus, articular cartilage, and bone marrow. Further data analysis was carried out using the Wilcoxon test. Result: There was a difference in anatomical information between PD SPACE FS sequences and T2 SPACE FS sequences on MRI examination of the sagittal knee joint with clinical ACL rupture, with the ρ-value of the Wilcoxon test 0.001 or ρ-value<0.05. This was due to differences in the use of TR and TE parameters in each sequence. The PD SPACE FS sequence was more optimal in visualizing anatomical information than the T2 SPACE FS sequence with an anatomical mean rank of meniscus 3.50, articular cartilage 3.50, and bone marrow 5.50, whereas in ACL anatomy the mean rank value was the same between the two sequences, which is 2.00. Conclusion: It was because the PD SPACE FS sequence had a more heterogeneous contrast difference than the T2 SPACE FS sequence so each anatomy could be well evaluated in the PD SPACE FS sequence.

Abstract

Background: Radiographic examination of the tangential projection of the patella can be done in a prone, supine body position, sitting on an examination table with legs dangling, or standing with a different angle for each method. The Hughston method is carried out with an angle of 55 degrees. Hughston's method of radiographic examination of patients is holding a frozen strap to the leg in order to obtain the desired angle so that if the patient's condition is non-cooperative, attack the radiographer to carry out the examination optimally. The purpose of this study was to make a Patella radiological examination tool using the Hughston method.Methods: This research is an experimental research by making inspection aids first followed by testing on anthropomorphic phantoms and volunteers. The results obtained are then analyzed to get conclusions and suggestions.Results: In the design of the Patella radiographic examination fixation device, the Hughston material method is used as needed and does not interfere with the image such as artifacts in the image. The specifications of the fixation device for patella radiographic examination by the Hughston method are made of acrylic which has properties that can be penetrated by radiation without causing artifacts, the height of the fixation device is 25 cm with a slope angle of 55 degrees, length 26 cm and width 20 cm. The angle of the fixation device is intended so that the supporting position of the patient's leg is extended with an angle of 55 degrees cephalad. The results of the radiograph are expected to evaluate the wear on the patellofemoral joint surface, identify the lateral half of the patella and determine the correlation between the femur and tibia. The prone position of the patient in the Hughston method cannot be used in patients with clinical fractures or patella dislocations.Conclusions: The fixation device that has been made is in accordance with the expected projection on the Hugstons projection patella radiographic examination. Trials using this fixation device use volunteers to make it easier to adjust the patient's actual position without exposure. The reason for not using a phantom is because the position of the phantom pedis is stiff so that it covers the irradiation and causes superposition

Abstract

Background: The human body's anatomical structure may be seen in radiological image findings. The proper exposure factor must be given in order to produce radiographic findings. The amperage value times the exposure period is equal to mAs. A darker image will result from a larger mA factor or longer exposure time. However, by choosing the appropriate exposure factor, an optimal radiograph density can be produced that can clearly display the difference in thickness and density between organs. The purpose of this study is to determine the results of how density affects the results of radiographs of the os femur.Methods: This research is quantitative using experimental methods to find out how the effect of mAs variations and how much the range of changes in value on density in AP projection femur examinations using mAs variations namely mAs 4, 8, 10, 12, 20, 25, and 32 with a fixed kV of 70 kV.Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a change in the effect of density quality on the variation of mAs on the radiograph results of the femoral os using the Friedman test p-value <0.001 which means less than 0.05. And the range of changes in density values at the caput femur, collum femur, collum femur, and greater trochanter there are changes in each mAs variation. The value of density variation against 7 mAs variations in radiograph results at variations of 4 to 32 mAs shows the density value increases by 0.14, for the range of increase in each variation it is ± from 0.02 to 0.05.Conclusions: The purpose of this study is to determine the results of how density is affected and the results of how the range of changes in density values on femur radiographs.
