Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate foetal doses at different stages of pregnancy in sinus and cervical spine imaging protocols using a novel supine cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) device.

Method

Foetal doses were measured at three different stages of the pregnancy in sinus and spine imaging protocols using an anthropomorphic phantom and a solid-state dosimeter.

Results

The foetal doses varied between 0.4 and 3.9 µGy and 2.2 and 32.6 µGy, in sinus and cervical spine examinations, respectively, being highest in the third trimester of pregnancy. A conversion factor for calculating the estimate of the foetus dose from kerma area product (KAP) varies between 0.0002–0.007 μGy/mGy cm2.

Conclusions

Foetal doses for sinus and cervical spine examinations in a supine CBCT device are low and do not produce a concern about radiation detriment to the foetus.
新型全身锥束计算机体层摄影装置中的胎儿剂量
目的利用一种新型仰卧锥束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)装置,评价不同妊娠阶段胎儿窦、颈椎成像方案的剂量。方法采用拟人型假体和固态剂量计在妊娠的三个不同阶段测量胎儿剂量。结果胎儿鼻窦和颈椎的辐射剂量分别在0.4 ~ 3.9µGy和2.2 ~ 32.6µGy之间,在妊娠晚期最高。可玛面积积(KAP)计算胎儿剂量估计值的转换因子在0.0002-0.007 μGy/mGy cm2之间变化。结论仰卧位CBCT检查胎儿鼻窦和颈椎的剂量较低,不存在对胎儿辐射危害的担忧。
