Abstract

본 연구는 ATOM Phantom을 이용하여 선량, 화질을 비교 분석 하여 Volume mode의 유용성 밝혀 소아 CT 검사에 적극적으로 사용하기 위함이다. Helical mode Noise와 Volume mode의 Noise, HU, SNR은 p>0.05 이므로 통계적으로 유이한 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 각 부위별 선량값은 모두 p>0.05 이므로 통계적 유이한 차이가 없었으나 DLP값이 Helical mode보다 Volume mode가 더 낮게 측정되었다. 유효선량 역시 Volume mode가 Helical mode 보다 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 정성적 분석에서는 Mode에 따른 조건 별로 각각 Helical: 2.6, 3.3, 4.36 Volume: 2.8, 3.64, 4.44, Mode별 Follow up 영상평가 결과로는 Helical mode가 3.8 Volume mode가 3.83점으로 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 5세 이하의 소아 CT검사에 있어서 640-MDCT Volume scan이 Helical mode와 비교해 낮은 선량으로 영상의 질이 큰 차이가 없기에 소아 CT 검사에는 유용 하다고 생각된다. The purpose of this study is to analyze dose comparison and image quality evaluation according to Volume and Helical mode using ATOM Phantom. It is to actively use the Volume mode in pediatric CT examinations. There was no significant difference with Helical and Volume in the value of Noise, HU, SNR(p>0.05). All dose values was no statistical difference(p>0.05). In the value of DLP and effective dose by part, Volume mode was measured lower than Helical mode. For qualitative analysis, by scan parameter helical mode showed respectively 2.6, 3.3, 4.36 and Volume mode indicated 2.8, 3.64, 4.44 point. Image evaluation for the follow-up, Helical mode and Volume mode were respectively 3.8 and 3.83. In fact, There was no significant difference. In CT scans in children under 5 years, because 640-MDCT Volume scan dose compared with Helical mode is lower and there is no significant difference with two modes in the image quality, 640-MDCT Volume scan is thought to be useful for pediatric CT scans.
