Evaluation of MRI-based Polymer Gel Dosimetry for Measurement of CT Dose Index (CTDI) on 64 slices CT Scanners
Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) has numerous applications in clinical procedures but its main problem is its high radiation dose to the patients compared to other imaging modalities using x-ray. CT delivers approximately high doses to the nearby tissues due to the scattering effect, fan beam (beam divergence) and limited collimator efficiency. The radiation dose from multi-slice scanners...
متن کاملSize specific dose estimate (SSDE) for estimating patient dose from CT used in myocardial perfusion SPECT/CT
Objective(s): Size specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new parameter that includes patient size factor in its calculation. Recent studies have produced mixed results on the utility of SSDE, especially when automatic exposure control (AEC) was used. The objective of the study was to find out if there is a relationship between patient size and each of the parameters, SSDE...
متن کاملFuzzy Traversability Index: Navigation a New Concept for Terrain-based
Fuzzy Traversability Index is introduced in this paper as a new and simple measure for quantifying the ease of traversal of natural terrains by field mobile robots. This index provides a simple means for incorporating the terrain quality data into the robot navigation strategy, and is used for terrain-based navigation of field mobile robots. The Traversability Index is expressed b y fuzzy sets ...
متن کاملTraversability Index: A New Concept for Planetary Rovers
Daversability Index is introduced in this paper as a new and simple measure for traversabilaty of planetary surfaces by mobile robots. This index is developed using the framework of fuzzy logic, and is expressed by linguistic fuzzy sets that quantify the suitability of the terrain for traverse based on its physical properties, such as slope and roughness. The Ilt.aversability Index is used for ...
متن کاملRadiation Dose and Procedure Time for 994 CT-guided Spine Pain Control Procedures.
BACKGROUND Image guidance for spine pain control procedures, including epidural steroid injection, nerve root block, and facet block, can be performed with either computed tomography (CT) or conventional fluoroscopy. CT has the advantage of improved anatomic localization and use of air for contrast; however, there are concerns that CT leads to higher radiation dose and longer procedure time. ...
