联合使用铋屏蔽与器官剂量调制技术在肺CT扫描中的应用价值

Combined Application of Bismuth Shielding and Organ Dose-Modulation Techniques in Lung CT Scanning

  • 摘要: 目的:探讨联合应用铋屏蔽与器官剂量调制(ODM)技术在肺CT扫描中对降低表浅辐射敏感器官剂量的效果及对影像质量的影响。方法:基于临床肺CT扫描方案,对胸部模体进行四组扫描:不使用铋屏蔽和ODM(组1);仅使用ODM(组2);仅使用铋屏蔽(组3);联合使用铋屏蔽和ODM(组4)。记录容积CT剂量指数(CTDIvol),并测量甲状腺和乳腺区域的皮肤剂量。重组5mm层厚横断面和冠状面图像,测算对比度噪声比(CNR)和品质因子FOM并对图像质量进行主观评价。对主观评分和CNR进行不同ODM扫描方式和是否使用铋屏蔽双因素无重复试验方差分析。结果:与组1相比,组2~ 4组 CTDIvol分别降低8.2%、−0.06%和8.8%,而甲状腺剂量分别降低17.9%、44.7%和47.3%,乳腺剂量降低12.43%、31.8%和41.1%。使用铋屏蔽和ODM后,图像CNR虽稍有下降,但差异不显著。组1主观评分最高,组4最低,各组间无统计差异。结论:联合应用铋屏蔽与ODM技术可在保证影像质量的同时,显著降低肺CT扫描中的辐射剂量。

     

    Abstract: Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the combined application of bismuth shielding and organ dose-modulation (ODM) techniques in reducing doses to superficial radiosensitive organs and its effect on image quality during lung computed tomography (CT) scanning. Methods: Based on a clinical lung CT scanning protocol, four scanning groups are created on a chest phantom: Group 1, without bismuth shielding and ODM; Group 2, with ODM only; Group 3, with bismuth shielding only; and Group 4, with both bismuth shielding and ODM. Skin doses in the thyroid and breast regions are measured, and the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) is recorded. Coronal images measuring 5 mm thick are reformed, and the contrast noise ratio (CNR) and figure of merit are calculated. The image quality is evaluated subjectively. The subjective scores and CNR are analyzed for different ODM methods and to determine whether bismuth shielding two-factor ANOVA is required. Results: Compared with the case of Group 1, the CTDIvol of Groups 2~4 decrease by 8.2%, −0.06%, and 8.8%, respectively; the thyroid doses decrease by 17.9%, 44.7%, and 47.3%, respectively; and the breast doses decrease by 12.43%, 31.8%, and 41.1%, respectively. Although the CNR of the images decreases slightly after bismuth shielding and ODM are performed, the differences are insignificant. Group 1 indicates the highest subjective score while Group 4 indicates the lowest, with no statistical difference between the groups. Conclusion: The combined application of bismuth shielding and ODM techniques can significantly reduce radiation doses during lung CT scanning while ensuring image quality.
