Quantifying the potential for dose reduction with visual grading regression.
Objectives To propose a method to study the effect of exposure settings on image quality and to estimate the potential for dose reduction when introducing dose-reducing measures. Methods Using the framework of visual grading regression (VGR), a log(mAs) term is included in the ordinal logistic regression equation, so that the effect of reducing the dose can be quantitatively related to the eff...
متن کاملVisual grading regression: analysing data from visual grading experiments with regression models.
For visual grading experiments, which are an easy and increasingly popular way of studying image quality, hitherto used data analysis methods are often inadequate. Visual grading analysis makes assumptions that are not statistically appropriate for ordinal data, and visual grading characteristic curves are difficult to apply in more complex experimental designs. The approach proposed in this pa...
متن کاملRegression models for analyzing radiological visual grading studies – an empirical comparison
BACKGROUND For optimizing and evaluating image quality in medical imaging, one can use visual grading experiments, where observers rate some aspect of image quality on an ordinal scale. To analyze the grading data, several regression methods are available, and this study aimed at empirically comparing such techniques, in particular when including random effects in the models, which is appropria...
متن کاملRadiation Dose Reduction Techniques in the Workplace
The principal objective of radiation protection is to ensure that the dose received by any individual does not exceed the applicable M.P.D. values.We will discuss in this paper the presents recommendations and technical information related to the design and installation of structural shielding with taking into account the concept of Maximum Permissible Dose equivalent (MPDl as expressed and ...
متن کاملPesticide Dose Adjustment in Vineyard Spraying and Potential for Dose Reduction
The adjustment of pesticide dose rates according to canopy size and leaf area density is not encouraged by current label formulations. However, experimental evidence shows that the application of a constant dose per unit ground area consistently results in average foliar deposits that are inversely proportional to the leaf area index (LAI) of the crop. Several methods for dose rate adjustment h...
