Automated Computed Tomography Dose-Saving Algorithm to Protect Radiosensitive Tissues

Abstract: The XCare technique protects radiosensitive organs like the female breast and the thyroid gland without affecting image quality. Therefore, this dose-saving algorithm may be used in thoracic CT examinations in male and female patients.

“…There is evidence that these strategies can result in moderate dose reduction (up to 50%) 10 without compromising image quality. 11,12 MR imaging offers an imaging solution that uses nonionizing radiation, eliminating radiation dose concerns associated with medical imaging. While most acute neurologic encounters in the ED can be assessed with CT, MR imaging offers a more detailed assessment, given its superior soft-tissue contrast, without using ionizing radiation.…”

“…Ketelsen et al har gjort en fantomstudie hvor de vurderte stråledose og bildekvalitet ved bruk av X-CARE ved en standard CT thorax protokoll (10) . Her ble det konkludert med at dosen til mamma reduseres med 35,2 % og dosen til glandula thyroidea reduseres med 20,1 % ved bruk av X-CARE.…”

“…De metodene vi brukte i vår studie førte til en reduksjon av huddosen til mammae. Resultatene i denne studien samsvarer med tidligere studier (2,(10)(11) om at det vil bli en reduksjon av huddosen når man benytter seg av enten vismut beskyttelse eller X-CARE, sammen med en lavdose protokoll.…”
