Objective To explore the effects on image quality and dose reduction to the lens when using bismuth shielding in head and neck MSCT.Methods The standard phantom and the cadaveric head with none,1,2 and 3 layers of bismuth shielding were scanned with protocols of brain,temporal bone and paranasal sinuses using a 16-MDCT scanner.The organ dose to the lens in each scanning was measured with thermoluminescence dosimeters(TLD).The above scanning with sinus protocol was repeated with a sponge with thickness of 5,10,15 and 20 mm placed between the shielding and phantom/head.The CT attenuation of phantom with the distance of 2,4,6 and 8 cm to shielding were measured.The image quality was subjectively evaluated by 2 physicians.Results The organ doses of the lens with protocols of brain,temporal bone and sinuses were 24.31,27.60 and 20.01 mGy,respectively.The doses were decreased significantly when using bismuth shielding.With the increase of the shield gap,the degree of dose reduction was reduced,but the increasing degree of CT attenuation significantly reduced.Using 2-layer and 3-layer bismuth shield in brain and temporal bone CT scan,the radiation doses were reduced by 47.1% and 59.1%,respectively while maintaining the diagnostic image quality.Using 1-layer shield without gap and 2-layer shield with 1.5 cm gap in sinus CT,the radiation doses were reduced by 31.5% and 34.5%,respectively.Conclusions Reasonable usage of bismuth shielding can effectively reduce the radiation dose to the lens of eye in head and neck MSCT.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of impulse oscillometry(IOS)in airway responsiveness measurement and to find out the positive threshold of IOS for asthma diagnosis. Methods Seventy-nine children aged 6-14 years who had suspicious asthma,were recruited into the study. The positive criteria of the methacholine bron-chial provocation test was a 20% reduction in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1 )compared to base-line. Simultaneously measured changes in various parameters of IOS,including resonant frequency(Fres),impedance at 5 Hz(Zrs),resistances at 5 and 20 Hz(R5,R20),reactance at 5 Hz(X5),and area of reactance(AX). The results of the challenge test were divided into positive and negative groups according to the pulmonary ventilation function me-thod. The differences between the 2 groups of IOS parameters before and after the challenge test,and the correlation be-tween the change rate of FEV1 and the change rate of IOS parameters were compared,and the positive judgment criteria of IOS parameters in the determination of respiratory responsiveness were determined. Results The positive group of bronchial provocation test had 37 patients and negative group had 42 patients. There was no significant difference in the basic values of parameters between the positive group and the negative group (all P > 0. 05). Changes in Zrs,R5,X5 of IOS were correlated with changes in FEV1 (r = 0. 374,0. 310,0. 449,all P < 0. 05). By single factor analysis,the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)carve (AUC)showed:basic value of Zrs increased by 45. 85%,R5 increased by 45. 72%,X5 increased by 80. 74% respectively compared to the baseline showed the optimal combination of sensitivity and specificity. In multivariate Logistic regression models,when Zrs and R5 were combined to measure the airway responsiveness,the sensitivity and specificity were 73. 0% and 81. 0%,respectively. Conclusions IOS and spirometry can be used to determine airway responsiveness in children during methacholine bronchial challenge. Zrs≥45. 85%,or R5≥45. 72%,or X5≥80. 74%,or Zrs and R5 of multiple regression formula can be used as the positive criteria for young children with airway heperresponsiveness,the combination of Zrs and R5 has higher sensitivity and specificity.

Objective:To investigate the effect of different additional filters on the image quality and radiation dose in abdominaldigital radiography (DR).Methods:Retrospective analysis was performed on 10 cases of abdominal DR from December 2020 to January 2021 in Fuxing Hospital, and the average mAs was calculated. Using automatic exposure control (AEC) technology, a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) slab of the corresponding thickness (18 cm) at the same output of above mAs was confirmed and used as the attenuator to simulate the abdomen. The phantom of CDRAD 2.0 and 17 slices of 10 mm thick PMMA plates (total thickness 18 cm) were placed on the bed. The additional filters were selected as no additional filter, 2 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 2 mmAl respectively. The AEC levels were selected at -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 respectively. The images were collected and analyzed by using CDRAD 2.0 software to obtain the image quality factor (IQF inv). The incident air kinetic energy on the surface of the PPMA was measured for each exposure, and PCXMC software was used to estimate the organ dose and effective dose, and a comparative analysis was made. Results:The skin incident doses at no additional filter, 2 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl, 0.1 mmCu+ 2 mm Al were (0.546 1±0.200 8), (0.376 2±0.133 8 ), (0.285 3±0.100 1) and (0.289 9±0.099 2) mGy, respectively. The estimated effective doses were (79.63±29.24)×10 -3, (71.05±25.56)×10 -3, (63.58±22.18)×10 -3 and (67.64±23.11)×10 -3 mSv, respectively. The gonadal doses were (0.058 1±0.020 8), (0.050 0±0.018 0), (0.044 8±0.015 6) and (0.047 7±0.016 3) mGy.The IQF inv values were 4.70±0.61, 4.80±0.84, 4.60±0.55, 4.60±0.60, respectively. There were linear correlations between the effective dose and the skin incident dose under different additional filtration, and the effective doses increased with the increase of the incident doses. The dose was lowest at the addition filtration of 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl. There was no significant difference in the IQF inv between groups( P>0.05). Conclusions:The optimal additional filtration for abdominal DR was 0.1 mmCu+ 1 mmAl with the image quality meeting the requirements of clinical diagnosis, the radiation dose reduced reasonably, and the objective of the optimization of radiographic parameters achieved.
