Computed Tomography

4.5K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Summary

Adding filters like brass or copper to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging during radiotherapy significantly reduces patient radiation dose. These filters lower imaging dose without compromising essential image quality for treatment verification.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy Technology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Image-guided radiotherapy utilizes LINACs with kV source-imager systems.
  • Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) during treatment increases patient radiation dose.
  • Optimizing CBCT imaging doses is crucial without sacrificing image quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To optimize cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging doses in radiotherapy.
  • To evaluate the impact of additional filters on patient radiation dose during CBCT.
  • To assess if dose reduction affects diagnostic image quality for treatment verification.

Main Methods:

  • Dose estimation using CTDI phantoms.
  • Evaluation of additional filters (0.1 mm copper, brass, aluminum).
  • Image quality assessment using CATPHAN-504 phantom and the introduced Image Assessment Score (IAS).

Main Results:

  • Pelvis protocol: dose reduction of 2.5-7.1% with filters.
  • Head protocol (high-quality): dose reduction of 3.1-25.4% with filters.
  • Standard-dose head protocol: dose reduction of 2.1-7.5% with filters; acceptable image quality maintained.

Conclusions:

  • Additional filters effectively reduce CBCT imaging doses.
  • Reduced doses do not significantly impair image quality for treatment position verification.
  • Filters offer a viable method for lowering radiation exposure in image-guided radiotherapy.
