Abstract
To evaluate the effect of dose and image quality for Chest Digital Tomosynthesis(CDT) using sensitivity and tube voltage(kV). CDT images of the phantom were acquired varying sensitivity 200, 320, 400 according to set tube voltage of 125 kV and 135 kV. The dose and Dose Area Product(DAP) according to change of sensitivity and kV were evaluated and Image quality was evaluated by PSNR, CNR, SNR using Image J. Dose were lowered 14~23% less than sensitivity 200, 125 kV and DAP were lowered 13~26% less than sensitivity 200, 125 kV. PSNR were over 27 dB, which were significant value and CNR, SNR were better as sensitivity value was lower. But there were different statistical significant to each item. CNR and SNR were not statistically significant at sensitivity 320, 135 kV(P>0.05). CDT can improve image quality with lower radiation dose using better than quality and correction power at digital radiography system.
