Monitoring the effects of new exposure parameters after transition to CR digital image processing in the Radiodiagnostic Department at Sušice Hospital, o.p.s.
 KLIMENT, Karel
At the current time, doses of radiation caused by medical exposure make up the largest part of peoples' exposure to artificial sources of ionising radiation (SIR). Every medical exposure must be justified as of benefit to the individual subject to it. Radiation protection at the workplace is subject to the principle of optimisation. One of the paths leading to optimisation of radiation protection is the specification of the Local Diagnostic Reference Level (LDRL). The objective of this thesis was to test and evaluate whether and how transition to indirect digitisation affects image quality. According to model examinations on a water phantom, the lowest possible dose for which image quality would be preserved was to be determined. If the dose could be reduced, it would be possible to specify a new LDRL. The dose can be reduced, amongst other things, by making appropriate adjustment to exposure parameters on the control unit. I tested how changes in the exposure parameters set affected the quality of the resulting image. I used the water phantom for each examination which corresponded to the thickness of the area to be examined for a standard patient. For constant default voltage, first of all changes to the settings were made to reduced blackening and increase electrical charge. Subsequently, voltage was increased and reduced with a constant blackening level. Image quality was evaluated according to the measured values for noise, and high and low contrast resolution. I used the results to determine recommendations for specific examinations in terms of exposure parameters to be set. I worked out the LDRL for the new exposure parameter settings and compared it to the current LDRL values at the workplace and with the NDRL (National Diagnostic Reference Level).
