摘要
En 中文
An automated vendor-independent system for dose monitoring in computed tomography (CT) medical examinations involving ionizing radiation is presented in this paper. The system provides precise size-specific dose estimates (SSDE) following the American Association of Physicists in Medicine regulations. Our dose management can operate on incomplete DICOM header metadata by retrieving necessary information from the dose report image by using optical character recognition. For the determination of the patient's effective diameter and water equivalent diameter, a convolutional neural network is employed for the semantic segmentation of the body area in axial CT slices. Validation experiments for the assessment of the SSDE determination and subsequent stages of our methodology involved a total of 335 CT series (60 352 images) from both public databases and our clinical data. We obtained the mean body area segmentation accuracy of 0.9955 and Jaccard index of 0.9752, yielding a slice-wise mean absolute error of effective diameter below 2 mm and water equivalent diameter at 1 mm, both below 1%. Three modes of the SSDE determination approach were investigated and compared to the results provided by the commercial system GE DoseWatch in three different body region categories: head, chest, and abdomen. Statistical analysis was employed to point out some significant remarks, especially in the head category. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
