단일 선원 장치와 이중 선원 장치 비교를 이용한 전산화단층촬영 금속인공물 감소에 대한 연구 : 동물팬텀 제작을 이용한 실측적인 비교 = A Study of the CT MAR using Single-Source and Dual-Source Devices: Practical Comparison using Animal Phantom Fabrication

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 듀얼 에너지 CT를 사용하여 금속인공물을 감소시키는 기법을 적용함에 있어 단일 선원과 이중 선원간의 영상 차이를 비교 평가하고자 한다. 단일 선원 장치로는 Discovery CT 256(GE, USA), 이중 선원 장치로는 Somatom Definition Flash(Siemens Health Care, Forchheim, Germany)를 이용하였다. 자체 제작한 팬텀(의료용 Titanium Screw를 삽입한 돼지다리)을 이중에너지 CT를 이용하여 동일 조건하에 선량을 변화시키며 영상을 얻은 후 정량적, 정성적 평가 하였다. 평가 방법으로는 뼈 주변, 조직 주변으로 나누고 금속 삽입물로 인해 발생한 금속인공물(선속경화, 산란, 줄무늬)에 대하여 SNR을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다. 단일 선원 장치와 이중 선원 장치 간 금속 인공물 감소기법에는 영상의 차이가 있었다. 단일 선원 장치에서는 금속삽입물에 의한 선속경화 인공물이 이중 선원 장치에서 얻은 영상보다 많은 감소를 보이며 인공물의 방해 없이 주변 조직부가 잘 관찰 되었다. 이중 선원 장치에서는 금속삽입물에 의한 산란과 줄무늬 인공물이 단일 선원 장치에서 보다 많은 감소를 보이며 금속삽입물을 둘러싼 인접 조직들의 신호가 감소 없이 잘 관찰 되었다. 환자를 검사 시 보고자 하는 부위가 금속삽입물에 인접한 주변 조직이냐, 금속삽입물을 감싸는 전체적 조직이냐에 따라 단일 선원 장치와 이중 선원 장치를 구분하여 검사가 행해진다면 진단적으로 도움이 되는 영상을 획득할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study aims to compare and evaluate the image differences between single and dual sources in applying a technique to reduce metal artifacts using dual energy CT. Discovery CT 256 (GE, USA) as a single source device and Somatom Definition Flash (Siemens Health Care, Forchheim, Germany) as a dual source device. The self-made phantom (pigs with medical titanium screws inserted) was quantitative and qualitatively evaluated under the same conditions by varying the dose under the same conditions using a dual energy CT. The evaluation method was compared by measuring SNR for metal artifacts (scattering, stripe) generated by metal inserts, divided around bones and around tissues. There was a difference in images in the method of reducing metal artifacts between single-source and dual-source devices. In a single source device, the linearized prosthesis by metal implantation showed a greater decrease than the image obtained from a double source device, and the surrounding tissue was well observed without interference from the artifact. In dual-source devices, scattering and stripe artifacts caused by metal inserts decreased more than on a single source device, and signals from adjacent tissues surrounding the metal implant were well observed without diminishing. If the examination is conducted separately between single source and dual source devices depending on whether the area to which the patient is intended to be viewed during the examination is adjacent to the metal insert or the total tissue surrounding the metal insert, it is believed that diagnostic helpful images can be obtained.
