Abstract

The proportion and testing of portable radiation tests, which are limited at the request of the doctor, are gradually increasing only for patients in emergency situations and difficulties in moving. However, as there are many limiting factors compared to fixed devices, this study intends to measure and analyze the distortion of images according to the angle of the detector and the change in dose according to the position of the subject. For distortion experiments using a mobile radiation generator used in Hospital A, the SID was tilted by 110 cm, 14"×17" wireless FPD detector to 0°, -5°, -10°, -15°, -20°, and -35° to measure the change in area. The dose according to the location of the detector was analyzed on average by measuring the central dose at 110 cm of the SID and measuring the dose of 9 locations three times each. The analysis result of distortion by location according to the angle of the detector showed a statistically significant difference (f=58.74, p<0.000). Therefore, it can be seen that the angle of the detector and the tube is closely related to the distortion of the image. The difference in dose by location of the detector increased with respect to the center - pole, and decreased with the + pole. Tests using mobile radiation generators will require careful efforts by clinicians to position patients in the center of the detector for accurate diagnosis, and efforts will be made to level the angle between the mobile radiation generators and the detector.
