Redução de dose e aumento na vida útil do tubo de raios X em tomografia computadorizada

Abstract: 351so, a dose absorvida por crianças é maior do que em pacientes adultos (4) . Em qualquer aquisição de TC, para um potencial de tubo e espessura de corte constantes, a dose de radiação no paciente varia proporcionalmente com a carga transportável (mAs) selecionada pelo operador. A escolha do mAs também determina a quantidade de ruído na imagem (5,6) e o aquecimento no tubo de raios X (7) . Estudos mostraram que o mAs utilizado pode ser reduzido consideravelmente sem prejudicar o diagnóstico, principalmente pa… Show more

“…The obtained MSADs demonstrate that a dose reduction occurs as the protocol I is adopted instead of protocol II, mainly due to the utilized pitch value (pitch = 0.75). As the protocol III was adopted, the dose value decreases a little further on account of the new pitch value (pitch = 1.00) and mainly on account of the tube loading value, extending the X-ray tube useful life, thus reducing costs for the institution (24) . It is clear that CT scan protocols should utilize reduced values for voltage and tube loading, provided the image quality is maintained to allow a safe medical diagnosis utilizing dose values as low as reasonably achievable (3,25) .…”

“…Some studies establish specific indications for the performance of the equilibrium phase (13,14) , however this phase has often been indiscriminately performed as a routine in most contrast-enhanced abdominal scans (15,16) . The use of such study protocols has implications related not only to the radiation dose, but also to the acquisition time and X-ray tube life span (17) , and would only be justifiable if it actually produced supplementary data to establish an accurate diagnosis.…”

“…Nos de crânio foram observados 40 pacientes entre adultos e crianças. Apesar de toda a preocupação com a proteção radiológica, não houve relação entre o mAs (rendimento do tubo) utilizado com a idade do paciente, embora o esperado era que fossem utilizados valores mais baixos em crianças (73) .…”
