A Study on the Change of Image Quality According to the Change of Tube Voltage in Computed Tomography Pediatric Chest Examination

  • 90

In short a binary value according to a change in the tube voltage by using one of VOLUME AXIAL MODE of scanning techniques of chest CT image quality evaluation in order to obtain high image and to present the appropriate tube voltage. CT instruments were GE Revolution (GE Healthcare, Wisconsin USA) model and Phantom used Pediatric Whole Body Phantom PBU-70. The test method was examined in Volume Axial mode using the pediatric protocol used in the Y university hospital of mass-produced material. The tube voltage was set to 70kvp, 80kvp, 100kvp, and mAs was set to smart mA-ODM. The mean SNR difference of the heart was -4.53 ± 0.26 at 70 kvp, -3.34 ± 0.18 at 80 kvp, -1.87 ± 0.15 at 100 kvp, and SNR at 70 kvp was about -2.66 higher than 100 kvp and statistically significant (p <0.05) In the Lung SNR mean difference analysis, -78.20 ± 4.16 at 70 kvp, -79.10 ± 4.39 at 80 kvp, -77.43 ± 4.72 at 100 kvp, and SNR at 70 kvp at about -0.77 higher than 100 kvp were statistically significant. (p <0.05). Lung CNR mean difference was 73.67 ± 3.95 at 70 kvp, 75.76 ± 4.25 at 80 kvp, 75.57 ± 4.62 at 100 kvp and 20.9 CNR at 80 kvp higher than 70 kvp and statistically significant (p <0.05) At 100 kvp of tube voltage, the SNR was close to 1 while maintaining the quality of the heart image when 70 kvp and 80 kvp were compared. However, there is no difference in SNR between 70 kvp and 80 kvp, and 70 kvp can be used to reduce the radiation dose. On the other and, CNR showed an approximate value of 1 at 70 kvp. There is no difference between 80 kvp and 100 kvp. Therefore, 80 kvp can reduce the radiation dose by pediatric chest CT. In addition, it is possible to perform a scan with a short scan time of 0.3 seconds in the volume axial mode test, which is useful for pediatric patients who need to move or relax.
