- W4387340019 abstract "Undertaking medical imaging examinations on obese patients can present practical challenges. Choosing optimal imaging protocols can be difficult, especially when promoting the ALARA principle. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of increasing body part thickness on image quality (IQ) and effective dose (ED) during upper abdominal radiography. A secondary aim was to determine the optimum exposure settings for larger sized patients.Underweight, standard, overweight and obese abdomen sizes were simulated using an anthropomorphic upper abdomen phantom, without and with additional fat layers (6, 10 and 16 cm). Phantoms were imaged using a variety of tube potentials (70-110 kVp), automatic exposure control (AEC) and a source-to-image distance of 120 cm. IQ was assessed visually using a relative visual grading analysis (VGA) method. Radiation dose was evaluated by calculating the ED using the Monte Carlo PCXMC 2.0 computer program.IQ values showed a statistical reduction (p = 0.006) with increasing phantom size across all examined tube potentials. The highest IQ scores (3.3, 2.8, 2.5 and 2.2, respectively) were obtained at 70/75 kVp for all phantom thicknesses. As tube potential increased the IQ was also shown to decrease. ED showed a statistically significant increase (p < 0.001) with increasing phantom thicknesses.Higher EDs were evident when applying lower tube potentials. Using an AEC with high tube potentials (105/110 kVp) can lead to a considerable decrease in ED with acceptable IQ when undertaking upper abdomen radiography on patients with large body part thicknesses.Applying higher values of tube potentials for patients who have a thicker abdomen can lead to decreased ED." @default.
