초록

본 연구는 전산화단층검사(computed tomography; CT)에서 저농도 조영제와 저관전압 기법이 선량과 영상에미치는 유용성을 팬텀으로 평가하였다. 조영제 농도별로 희석정도를 달리하여 실험팬텀에 삽입 후 관전압과 관전류를 단계적으로 변화하여 촬영하였고, 획득된 팬텀영상을 통해 선량과 HU를 평가하였다. 그 결과 표준조건(350 mgI/ml, 120 kV)보다 저농도 조영제와 저관전압 조건(300 mgI/ml, 100 kV)설정이 체적선량평가(CTDIvol; computed tomography dose indexvol)에서 평균 21% 감소하였다. SNR은 저농도 조영제와 저관전압 조건이 팬텀에서 측정한 모든 깊이(center, 4.5cm, 2.25cm)의 조영제와 생리식염수를 1:10, 1:20으로 희석한실험에서 각각 12.2(26%), 6.2(17%) 증가하였다. CNR은 각각 11.5(32%), 6.3(26%) 증가하였다. CT 검사에서 조영제 부작용 감소를 위한 저농도 조영제의 사용과 피폭선량 감소를 위한 저관전압 사용으로 영상에서 높은 감약계수를 통한 다양한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다

Abstract

The purpose of this study is computed tomography contrast agent at low concentrations and low tube voltage technique to evaluate the usefulness on the phantom image. By varying the degree of mixture by the contrast medium concentration it was inserted in phantom. It was taken by changing the tube voltage and tube current step by step, and to evaluate the dose and the CT value obtained from the phantom image. As a result, low-contrast, low tube voltage(300 mgI/ml, 100 kV) was reduced by an average 21%(CTDIvol; computed tomography dose indexvol) more standard condition(350 mgI/ml, 120 kV). SNR was increased at all depths of the phantom, respectively 1:10 and 1:20(by diluting a contrast agent and normal saline) 12.2(26%) 6.2(17%). CNR was increased at all depths of the phantom, respectively 1:10 and 1:20(by diluting a contrast agent and normal saline) 11.5(32%), 6.3(26%). Research work on the CT scan is necessary in a variety of studies on the low contrast concentration and low tube voltage techniques for dose reduction and reducing of side effects the contrast agent
