Abstract

양전자방출단층촬영에서 표준섭취계수는 종양의 진단에 사용이 되는 지표이다. 표준섭취계수는 여러 인자에 의해 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 Philips사의 GEMINI TF PET/CT를 이용하여 물질에 따른 영상의 왜곡 및 표준섭취계수의 변화에 대하여 실험하였다. 물질별 표준섭취계수의 변화는 스테인레스보정물은 1.8, 스텐트는 1.4, 요오드성조영제는 2.4, 황산바륨은 2.6, 석고는 1.6, 파라핀은 1.4 이였다. 황산바륨 일수록 농도가 높을수록 영상의 왜곡은 크게 나타났다. 실험의 결과 원자번호가 낮은 금속성 물질이나 농도가 낮은 조영제의 경우 큰 영향은 없었다. 그러나 검사전 반드시 금속성 물질을 제거하거나 조영제의 유무를 확인하여 영상의 왜곡 및 표준섭취계수의 변화를 최소화 해야할 것이다. In Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography, Standardized Uptake Value(SUV)is most generally used to discern tumors. However, SUV may be influenced other factors. In this study, experiment was conducted distrotion in image and change in SUV according to substance with GEMINI TF PET/CT of Philips.. SUV for materials resulted in 1.8 for stainless, 1.4 for stent, 2.4 for iodine contrast medium, 2.6 for Barium Sulfate, 1.6 for Gypsum, and 1.4 for paraffin respectively. The distortion of image was remarkable for the iodine contrast medium and Barium Sulfate. For the barium sulfate, the higher the density, the larger the distrotion of the images. As a result of test, it appeared that the metallic substance whose atomic number is low and contrast medium whose concentration is low didn't affect the distortion in image and the change in SUV. However, it tis necessary to minimize distortion in image and change in SUV, by removing the metallic substance and checking if there are contrast mdeium or before examination.
