  • 목적: Philips GEMINI PET/CT 스캐너는 GSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 전신용 PET/CT 스캐너이다. 이 연구에서는 NEMA에서 새롭게 제안한 NEMA NU2-2001에 따라 GEMINI PET/CT 스캐너의 공간분해능, 민감도, 산란분획, NECR 등을 평가하고 그 결과를 BGO, LSO등의 섬광결정의 특성과 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: GEMINI는 Philips ALLEGRO PET과 MX8000 D multi-slice CT 스캐너를 결합한 PET/CT 스캐너로서 검출기는 GSO 섬광결정 ($4{\times}6{\times}20mm^3$)을 사용하였고 축방향 시야는 18 cm이다. 공간분해능. 민감도, 산란분획, NECR 등을 평가하기 위하여 PET 데이터를 획득하였다(동시계수창: 8 ns, 에너지창: $409{\sim}664$ keV). 공간분해능 측정을 위하여 축횡단면의 중심에서 1 cm, 10 cm 떨어진 지점의 각 3지점((a) x=0, y=1, (b)x=10, y=0, (c)x=0, y=10)에서 영상을 획득한 다음 여과후역투사방법(램프필터 사용)과 3D RAMLA를 이용하여 영상재구성을 하고 FWHM을 구하였다. 민감도 측정을 위하여 선선원(F-18)을 축횡단면의 중심과 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 5개의 알루미늄관을 차례로 씌워 매질감쇠에 따라 달라지는 참계수를 구하고 이 값을 회귀분석하여 감쇠매질이 없는 이상적인 상황에서의 민감도를 측정하였다(랜덤계수가 참계수의 1%이내). 산란분획과 NECR을 측정하기 위하여 F-18 선선원(1110 MBq)을 산란팬텀에 주입하여 7반감기동안 계수를 획득하였다. SSRB을 사용하여 3D 데이터를 재구성한 다음 랜덤계수율이 참계수율이 1% 미만인 영역에서 산란분획을 구하고 각 횡단면의 값을 평균하여 전체 산란분획을 얻었다. 이 값을 기초로 각 프레임, 각 횡단면에 대한 랜덤계수율, 산란계수율, NECR을 구하였다. 결과: 스캐너의 중심에서 1 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.3, 6.5 mm (FBP), (2) 5.1, 5.9 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축반경방향, 횡축접선방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.7, 5.7, 7.0 mm (FBP), (2) 5.4, 5.4, 6.4 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 감쇠매질이 없는 이상적인 상황에서의 민감도는 횡단면의 중심에서 3,620 counts/sec/MBq, 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 4,324 counts/sec/MBq이었다. 산란분획은 40.6%, 최대 참계수율과 최대 NECR은 각각 88.9 kcps @ 12.9 kBq/mL, 34.3 kcps @ 8.84 kBq/mL이었다. 결론: 이 실험에서 NEMA NU2-2001을 이용해 GSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET/CT에 대한 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 이는 BGO, LSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET 스캐너의 특성과 비교할 수 있는 자료를 제공하며 PET 영상 획득 시 객관적 평가와 분석에 유용하였다.

  • Purpose: Time of operation has been reduced and accuracy of operation has been improved since C-arm, which offer real-time image of patient, was introduced in operation room. However, because of the contamination of patient, C-arm could not be used more appropriately. Therefore, this study is to know factors of controlling exposure dose, image quality and the exposed dose of health professional in operation room. Materials and methods: Height of Wilson frame (bed for operation) was fixed at 130 cm. Then, Model 76-2 Phantom, which was set by assembling manual of Fluke Company, was set on the bed. Head/Spine Fluoroscopy AEC mode was set for exposure condition. According to detector size of C-arm, the absorbed dose per min was measured in the 7 steps OFD (cm) from 10 cm to 40 cm (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 cm). In each step of OFD, the absorbed dose per min of same diameter of collimation was measured. Moreover, using Nero MAX Model 8000, exposure dose per min was measured according to 3 step of distance from detector (20 cm, 60 cm, 100 cm). Finally, resolution was measured by CDRH Disc Phantom and magnification of each OFD was measured by aluminum stick bar. Result: According to detector size of C-arm, difference of absorbed dose shows that the dose of 20 cm OFD is 1.750 times higher than the dose of 40 cm OFD. It means that the C-arm, which has smaller size of detector, shows the bigger difference of absorbed dose per min (p<0.05). In the difference of absorbed dose in the same step of OFD (from 20 cm to 40 cm), the absorbed dose of 9 inch detect or C-arm was 1.370 times higher than 12 inch' s (p<0.05). When OFD was set to 20 cm OFD, the absorbed dose of non-collimation case was approximately 0.816 times lower than the absorbed dose of collimation cases (p<0.05). When the distance was 20 cm from detector, exposed does includes first-ray and scatter-ray. When the distance was 60 cm and 100 cm from detector, exposed does includes just scatter-ray. So, there was the 2.200 times difference of absorbed does. Finally, when OFD was increased, spatial resolution was 4 to 5 step was increased. However, low contrast resolution was not relative. Moreover, there was 1.363 times difference of magnification (p<0.05). Conclusion: When C-Arm is used, avoiding contamination of patient is more important factor than reducing exposed dose of health professional in operation room. Just controlling exposure time is just way to reduce the exposed does of workers. However, in the case, non-probability influence could be occurred. Therefore, this study proved that the exposed dose will be reduced if the factors such as using small detector size of C-arm, setting OFD from 20 cm to 25 cm and non-collimating. Moreover, dose management of C-arm in the non-interesting area will be considered additionally.
