A Retrospective Analysis of Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) Tracking Failure Rates in Radiographic Systems

Authors: Benjamin W. Maloney, Ashley E. Rubinstein, Colin Schaeffer, Justin Yu

Affiliation: Henry Ford Health

Abstract Preview: Purpose: Radiography AEC systems ensure correctly exposed images for varied kVp and patient thicknesses. The specific kVp and PMMA thicknesses selected for testing AEC tracking may affect passing rate...

Development of Hybrid Shielding Collimator to Reduce Radiation Exposure in Fluoroscopy

Authors: Yona Choi, Kyo-tai Kim, Seungwoo Park, Dung Thi Tran

Affiliation: Gemss Health Care Inc,, Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences

Abstract Preview: Purpose: We developed shielding materials and a hybrid concept collimator for fluoroscopy to reduce the dose to normal tissues outside the treatment field, which are capable of quantifying dose rate a...

Fully Automatic Pipelines for Anatomical ROI Detection and Exposure Index Calculation in X-Ray Imaging : Foundation Model-Based Frameworks for Dose Standardization

Authors: Yoonha Eo

Affiliation: Yonsei University

Abstract Preview: Purpose: To develop a fully automatic and unsupervised algorithm for estimating the Exposure Index (EI) of various Regions of Interest in X-ray imaging using advanced foundation models. Traditional EI...

Investigating Factors Impacting the Consistency of Signal-to-Noise Ratio in Mammographic Automatic Exposure Control

Authors: James Ward, Anzi Zhao

Affiliation: Northwestern Medicine

Abstract Preview: Purpose: This study investigates the impact of tissue-equivalent attenuator materials, the region of interest (ROI) size, and the orientation of the attenuator positioning on the measured signal-to-no...
