This study has aimed to measure the patient dose in entire spine radiography by EOS system in comparison with the digital radiography.
EOS stereo-radiography was used for frontal and lateral view spine imaging in 41 patients in a prospective analytical study. A calibrated dose area product (DAP) meter was used for calibration of the DAP in EOS system. The accuracy and precision of the system was confirmed according to the acceptance testing. The same procedure was used for 18 patients referred for lumbar spine digital radiology (overall 36 images).
Although radiation fields in the EOS were almost twice of that in digital radiology, and the average peak tube voltage (kV), current supply to the tube (mA), and the average size and age of the patients referred for EOS imaging were greater than digital radiology, however, the average DAP in EOS was 1/5 of that in digital radiology system. Also, the average dose in the EOS was about 1/20 of that in digital radiology.
The patient dose in EOS imaging system was lower in comparison with digital radiology (1/20).
本研究旨在通过EOS系统测量全脊柱X线摄影中的患者剂量,并与数字X线摄影进行比较。
在一项前瞻性分析研究中,对41例患者使用EOS立体X线摄影进行脊柱正侧位成像。使用校准后的剂量面积乘积(DAP)仪对EOS系统中的DAP进行校准。根据验收测试确认系统的准确性和精密度。对18例接受腰椎数字X线检查的患者采用相同程序(共36幅图像)。
尽管EOS中的辐射野几乎是数字放射学中的两倍,且接受EOS成像的患者的平均峰值管电压(kV)、管电流供应(mA)以及平均体型和年龄均大于数字放射学检查的患者,但EOS中的平均DAP是数字放射学系统中的1/5。此外,EOS中的平均剂量约为数字放射学中的1/20。
与数字放射学相比,EOS成像系统中的患者剂量较低(为1/20)。
