Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of multi-slice spiral CT Low-dose scanning technology in thyroid enhanced scan. Methods Eighty patients were randomly divided into four groups including Group A:120 kV,180 mA;Group B:120 kV,100 mA;Group C:100 kV,180 mA and Group D:100 kV,100 mA.The subjective image quality was evaluated and scored.Thyroid CT val-ue,image background noise (N),image signal to noise ratio (SNR),CT dose index (CTDIvol),dose length product (DLP),and the effective radiation dose (ED)were measured and compared.Results The subjective image scores and SNR of these four groups were 3.90±0.31 and 26.34±3.13,3.75±0.44 and 25.08 ±1.87,3.70 ±0.47 and 25.86 ±2.38,3.60 ±0.60 and 24.87 ±2.20 respectively.There were no significantly statistical differences among the subjective image scores and SNR (P > 0.05 )of the 4 Groups.Thyroid CT values,N,CTDIvol,DLP and ED were (1 68.55 ± 13.39)HU,(6.48 ±0.84)HU,(10.95 ±0.00)mGy, (145.67±8.79)mGy·cm,(0.73±0.04)mSv in Group A,(170.70±11.34)HU,(6.83±0.45)HU,(6.08±0.00)mGy,(84.58± 4 .9 4)mGy· cm,(0 .4 2 ±0 .0 3 )mSv in Group B,(1 8 5 .2 0 ±2 2 .3 5 )HU,(7 .1 9 ±0 .8 6 )HU,(6 .5 9 ±0 .0 0 )mGy,(8 9 .8 6 ± 3 .2 6 )mGy· cm,(0 .4 5 ±0 .0 3 )mSv in Group C,(1 9 0 .5 5 ±2 1 .3 8 )HU,(7 .6 6 ± 1 .0 1 )HU,(3 .6 6 ±0 .0 0 )mGy,(5 0 .2 0 ± 1 .8 9 )mGy·cm,(0.25±0.01)mSv in Group D respectively.There were significantly statistical differences among different thyroid CT values,N,CTDIvol,DLP and ED (P <0.05).Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT low-dose scanning technology in thyroid en-hanced scan can guarantee the image quality and effectively reduce thyroid radiation dose.
