Title in Portuguese
Reconstrução espectral de tubos de radiação odontológicos usando a transformada inversa de Laplace da curva de atenuação
Keywords in Portuguese
Espectrometria Indireta
Qualidade da imagem
Raio X Odontológico
Transformadas de Laplace
Abstract in Portuguese
No estudo de imagens radiográcas, os parâmetros relacionados ao contraste objeto, SC, razão sinal ruído, SNR, e dose, estão vinculados à forma do espectro de raios X utilizado e seu conhecimento permite predizer e otimizar a qualidade da imagem. Neste trabalho foi desenvolvida uma metodologia que permite obter o espectro de tubos de raios X odontológicos de uso clínico de forma indireta. Esta metodologia é baseada na aplicação de um modelo matemático que utiliza a transformada inversa de Laplace da curva de transmissão do feixe para gerar dados sobre a distribuição espectral do mesmo. Com o auxílio de uma câmara de ionização e ltros alumínio de alta pureza, foram levantadas as curvas de transmissão de 8 tubos de raios X disponíveis comercialmente. Para a validação do método foi realizada a espectrometria direta com detector de telureto de cádmio (CdTe), cuja resposta foi determinada por simulação Monte Carlo (MC). A partir reconstrução espectral obtida, foram realizados estudos sobre os parâmetros de qualidade de imagem SNR, contraste objeto, SC, KERMA na entrada da pele. O desempenho dos tubos foi avaliado com base na relação entre SNR e KERMA na entrada da pele. Os resultados mostram que é possível determinar a distribuição espectral de tubos de raios X odontológicos com base no método proposto. A relação proposta entre SNR e KERMA na entrada da pele sugere que tubos com fótons de baixa energia possuem baixo rendimento.

Abstract in English
In the study of radiographic images, the parameters related to the subject contrast, SC, signal to noise ratio, SNR, and dose, are linked to the shape of the X-ray spectrum used and their knowledge allows to predict and optimize the image quality. In this work we developed a methodology to obtain the spectrum of dental X-ray tubes of clinical usage in an indirety way. This methodology is based on application of a mathematical model that uses the inverse Laplace transform of the attenuation curve to generate data on the spectral distribution of the beam. With the aid of an ionization chamber and high purity aluminum lters, were raised the transmission curves of 8 X-ray tubes that are available commercially. The method validation was performed with direct spectrometry detector cadmium telluride (CdTe), whose response was determined by Monte Carlo simulation (MC). From reconstruction obtained spectral studies were carried out on the parameters of SNR image quality, contrast object, SC, KERMA entrance skin. The performance of the tubes was evaluated based on the relationship between SNR and KERMA entrance skin. The results show that it is possible to determine the spectral distribution of dental X-ray tubes based on the proposed method. The proposed relationship between SNR and KERMA entrance skin suggests that tubes with low energy photons have a low performance.
