Assessment of image quality in digital radiology using the CDRAD contrast-detail phantom in pediatrics

ABSTRACT The transition from analog to digital radiology has expanded the capabilities of radiological imaging but has also made it possible to increase the radiation dose received by patients. Image quality in radiology is determined by factors such as radiographic techniques (kVp and mAs), which direct...

ABSTRACT Introduction: To assess the effect of a hands-on ultrasound training session to teach urologic trainees ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle placement. Materials and methods: University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) urology residents completed a time trial, placing a needle into a phant...

Corrección de índice de dosis en tomografía computarizada por parámetro de diámetro efectivo según reporte 204 de la Asociación Americana de Físicos Médicos

Rev. chil. radiol; 22 (2), 2016
Abstract. In order to have a more accurate estimation of the dose delivered for computed tomography (CT) studies, and given that the current dose estimates do not include the size of the patient, a retrospective study was conducted on a sample of 388 patients from the radiology department of a general ho...

Efectos del voltaje de tubo en la dosis de radiación y calidad de imagen en fantoma en tomografía computarizada multicorte pediátrica

Rev. chil. radiol; 22 (1), 2016
Abstract. The use of CT has continued to increase in the last few years, making it the largest contributor to the collective world dose. Children are not exempt from this, with a potentially increasing risk. The effect of tube voltage as a tool for dose reduction has been studied with the aim of investig...

Densidad ósea volumétrica vertebral obtenida sin fantoma en estudios de rutina de tomografía computarizada de abdomen: correlación con los valores medidos por densitometría ósea areal por rayos X
Phantom-less volumetric vertebral density obtained from routine abdominal ct studies: correlation with data obtained by DXA

Actual. osteol; 12 (3), 2016
La densidad mineral ósea (DMO) por tomografía computarizada cuantitativa (QCT) mide con exactitud y precisión de corto plazo la densidad volumétrica (DMOv) de secciones axiales de los cuerpos vertebrales lumbares valiéndose de un fantoma de calibración. Existe evidencia de que la densitometría por...

Phantom para Medição da Faixa Dinâmica de Equipamentos de Ultra-som Biomédicos

Rev. bras. eng. biomed; 19 (3), 2003
O controle de qualidade da imagem em equipamentos ultra-sônicos de diagnósticos é baseado em parâmetros determinados por norma (IEC, 1996). Todos os parâmetros citados nesta norma, com exceção da Largura de Banda, podem ser avaliados utilizando-se de phantoms de tecidos biológicos. Baseado em nor...
