Abstract

Amaç: Tek kaynaklı tek
enerji (TK TE) ve tek kaynaklı hızlı voltaj değişimli çift enerji (TK HVD-ÇE)
abdomen bilgisayarlı tomografilerine (BT) ait BT doz indekslerini (BTDİ)
karşılaştırmak.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu
prospektif çalışmada, yaş ortalaması 52±15,7 yıl olan 73 hastadan (32 Kadın ve
41 Erkek) elde olunmuş HVD-ÇE abdomen BT’lere ait ortalama BTDİ, TE abdomen
BT’lere ait ortalama BTDİ’ler ile karşılaştırıldı. Tüm hastaların vücut kitle
indeksleri (VKİ) ve BT taramalarına ait BTDİ’leri kaydedildi. İstatistiksel
analiz için örneklem t testi kullanıldı. P değeri <0.05 istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı kabul edildi.

Bulgular: Ortalama VKİ
24.2±7.6 ve HVD-ÇEBT ile TEBT’lere ait ortalama BTDİ değerleri sırasıyla
14.6±2.5 mGy ve 12.5±7.2 mGy idi. Her iki teknik ile elde olunan ortalama
BTDİ’ler arasındaki fark anlamlıydı (p=0.02). HVD-ÇE abdomen BT’ye ait ortalama
CTDİ, TE abdomen BT’ye göre %14.4 daha fazla idi.

Sonuç: HVD-ÇE abdomen BT’ye
ait ortalama CTDİ, TE abdomen BT’ye göre %14.4 daha fazla idi.

Comparison of Computed Tomography Dose İndices for Single Energy and Fast Kilovoltage Switching Dual Energy Abdominal Computed Tomographies

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the computed
tomography dose index (CTDI) of the single source fast kilovoltage-switching dual
energy CT (SS FKS-DECT) of the abdomen compared to conventional single source single
energy (SSSE) CT.

Materials and Methods: In
this prospective study, the mean CTDI of the SS FKS-DECT of the abdomen
obtained from 73 patients (32 women and 41 men) with a mean age of 52±15.7
years, compared to the CTDI of the conventional SSSE CT. Body mass index (BMI)
of all patients and CTDI of all scans were noted. Two-tailed student t test was
used for statistical analysis. P value of <0.05 was considered as statistically
significant.

Results: The mean BMI was
24.2±7.6 and the mean CTDI for the FKS-DECT and SECT were 14.6±2.5 mGy and
12.5±7.2 mGy, respectively. The difference between the CTDI values of both
acquisitions were statistically significant (p=0.02). The mean CTDI of the FKS-DECT
of the abdomen was 14.4% higher than those for the SECT.

Conclusion: The mean CTDI of
the SS FKS-DE abdomen CT was 14.4% higher than those of the SS SE abdomen CT.
