Computed tomography perfusion (CTP) is an important functional tool for lung cancer. It is expected to deliver high radiation dose, making its accurate estimation important. Size-specific dose estimate (SSDE) is a new dose metric, which includes the scanner output as well as the patient size.
To determine radiation dose [CT dose index (CTDI), dose length product (DLP), effective dose (ED), and SSDE] for CTP in lung cancer and the correlation of CTDI, DLP, and SSDE with effective diameter and SSDE with weight, body mass index (BMI), and the scan length.
Cross-sectional study in the Department of Radio-diagnosis from October 2015 to March 2016.
Due ethical approval and informed consent was taken. Thirty consecutive adult patients of lung cancer undergoing CTP study were included; various radiation dose parameters were determined and presented as mean ± SD.
Paired Student's -test and Pearson correlation using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, Version 16.
Mean radiation dose was CTDI = 270.138 ± 1.627 mGy, DLP = 681 ± 53.496 mGy.cm, ED = 12.501 ± 0.923 mSv, SSDE = 388.90 ± 81.27 mGy. The CTDI and DLP had significant positive correlation ( = 0.556, = 0.000 and = 0.522, = 0.003, respectively) with effective diameter. SSDE had strong negative correlation ( = -0.997, = 0.000) with effective diameter, significant negative correlation with the BMI ( = -0.889; = 0.000) and weight ( = -0.910, = 0.000) of patients. Scan length was not significantly correlated in SSDE ( = -0.012, = 0.951).
Smaller sized patients had greater SSDE.
计算机断层扫描灌注成像(CTP)是用于肺癌的一项重要功能检查手段。预计其辐射剂量较高,因此准确估算辐射剂量很重要。特定尺寸剂量估算(SSDE)是一种新的剂量指标,它既包括扫描仪输出剂量,也考虑了患者体型。
确定肺癌CTP检查的辐射剂量[CT剂量指数(CTDI)、剂量长度乘积(DLP)、有效剂量(ED)和SSDE],以及CTDI、DLP和SSDE与有效直径的相关性,SSDE与体重、体重指数(BMI)及扫描长度的相关性。
2015年10月至2016年3月在放射诊断科进行的横断面研究。
获得伦理批准并取得知情同意。纳入30例连续接受CTP检查的成年肺癌患者;测定各种辐射剂量参数,并以均值±标准差表示。
使用社会科学统计软件包第16版进行配对t检验和Pearson相关性分析。
平均辐射剂量为CTDI = 270.138 ± 1.627 mGy,DLP = 681 ± 53.496 mGy·cm,ED = 12.501 ± 0.923 mSv,SSDE = 388.90 ± 81.27 mGy。CTDI和DLP与有效直径呈显著正相关(分别为r = 0.556,P = 0.000和r = 0.522,P = 0.003)。SSDE与有效直径呈强负相关(r = -0.997,P = 0.000),与患者的BMI(r = -0.889;P = 0.000)和体重(r = -0.910,P = 0.000)呈显著负相关。扫描长度与SSDE无显著相关性(r = -0.012,P = 0.951)。
体型较小的患者SSDE较高。
