Embodiment 1
[0037] see figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a method for optimizing chest low-dose CT scanning parameters, including the following steps,
[0038] Step (1), use standard CT scanning equipment to scan the simulated human body model, obtain n CT images under different scanning parameters by setting n groups of scanning parameters, and measure the corresponding effective radiation absorbed dose; wherein, each group of scanning parameters includes tube Current and tube voltage, in the simulated human body model, the number of simulated pulmonary nodules is m, and the volume is V s ; where n,m∈N * .
[0039] According to the recommendations of the US National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, in CT scanning parameters, the size of the tube voltage is usually in the range of 100-120KV, and the tube current can be less than or equal to 60mAs. Therefore, in this embodiment, the The tube voltage ranges from 100 to 120KV, the tube current is less than or equal...
Embodiment 2
[0057] In this embodiment 2, according to the optimization method of a low-dose chest CT scan parameter provided in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, a scan parameter optimization was carried out for a certain type of CT scanning equipment under test. The specific process is as follows:
[0058] The first step is to use the Chinese chest simulation human model, and implant 5 pieces of each of the two types of simulated pulmonary nodules, that is, m = 10, including solid nodules (CT value = 50Hu) and non-solid nodules (CT value = 50Hu). =-600Hu), each simulated pulmonary nodule has a standard volume V s =100mm 3 .
[0059] Using standard CT scanning equipment, set the tube voltage to 100KV, 110KV and 120KV respectively, and set the tube current between 10mAs and 60mAs with a gradient of 1mAs to obtain 153 sets of scanning parameters; use these 153 sets of scanning parameters to scan the simulated human body Model, acquire 153 CT images under different scanning parameters, and...
