    Objective By analyzing the protective effects of lead screens with different lead equivalents on different types of medical diagnostic X-ray machines, guidance is provided for medical personnel and accompanying personnel to choose appropriate lead screens. Methods The Monte Carlo method was used to simulate the X-ray energy spectrum at a tube voltage of 50-140kV, a total filtration thickness of 0.5-5mm (Al), and an anode angle of 12°. Using this as the source term, simulate the normalized dose rate and attenuation multiple of lead screens after X-ray shielding, and evaluate the actual protective effect of different lead equivalent lead screens on different X-ray machines through experimental measurements. Results The attenuation factor of lead screens increases with the increase of lead equivalent, and significantly increases when it exceeds 1.5mmPb. A 1mm Pb lead screen can effectively shield the X-rays generated by a 60kV X-ray machine with a tube voltage; When the tube voltage is 100kV, the machine head requires 1.6mmPb, 2mm Pb, and 0.5mmPb in the 00, 900, and -900 directions respectively, which can reduce the dose rate at 1 meter to below 1µSv/h; If the distance between the machine head and the lead screen is more than 3 meters, a 1mm Pb lead screen can reduce the dose rate of the machine head to below 1µSv/h at a distance of 1 meter in any direction. Conclusion The tube voltage, filter thickness, lead equivalent of the lead screen, and protection distance of the X-ray machine are important factors affecting the protective effect of the lead screen. 1mmPb lead screen could effectively shields X-ray machines with tube voltage settings below 60KV, such as dental X-ray machines. For X-ray machines, such as DSA, oral CT and mobile C-arm with tube voltage settings below 100KV, a 2.2mmPb lead screen can be selected at a distance of 0.5m from the machine head, and a 2mmPb lead screen can be selected at a distance of 1m to avoid the primary radiation. X-ray machines with DR, CT and other tube voltages set above 140KV should focus on distance protection.

    Objective To study the impact of input data selection accuracy of queuing theory M/M/C model on the accuracy of predicting the reasonable configuration quantity of monitors under centralized management mode. MethodsEleven wards were selected as research subjects, and the duration of medical orders was extracted as the actual usage time of the monitor. According to the three methods of "merging 11 wards for calculation", "merging internal and external departments separately for calculation", and "independent calculation for each ward", establish a queuing theory M/M/C prediction model. Based on nursing requirements and the waiting time curve of the queuing system, infer the prediction interval of the number of monitors configured, and compare the difference between the predicted interval and the actual number of configurations under the three conditions. Results The predicted interval for the number of configurations in the "11 wards merged calculation" deviated the most from the actual number of configurations (Group 1,maximum difference of 7.84 units, minimum difference of 2.45). There was a small deviation between the predicted interval for the number of configurations and the actual number of configurations in the case of internal and external departments merged calculation (Group 2, maximum difference of 7.73 units, minimum difference of 2.27), Under the independent calculation of each ward, the deviation between the predicted interval of configuration quantity and the actual configuration quantity is minimal (Group 3,only 4 wards have differences, with a difference of 1 or 2 units), the difference is statistically significant (H=22.104, P<0.05). The deviation values of Group 1 were statistically significant compared to those of Group 2 and Group 3 (P<0.001), while there was no statistically significant difference between the deviation values of Group 2 and Group 3 (P=0.465). Conclusion The accuracy factor of input data selection has a certain impact on the prediction accuracy of the queuing system model. When using the queuing theory model to calculate the number of configurations, medical institutions should try to improve the accuracy of data selection, select input data according to the smallest ward unit, and combine the predicted results with the actual clinical situation to adjust the actual number of configurations and improve the rationality of configuration quantity.

    Objective The intelligent infrared thermometer is a fully autonomous temperature measuring instrument with advantages such as non-contact, fast detection speed, and no harmful radiation. It has always been one of the research hotspots at home and abroad. However, the measurement results of the intelligent infrared thermometer are easily affected by multiple factors such as ambient temperature, humidity, and angle, which affects the accuracy of temperature measurement. Methods This article utilizes the principle of infrared temperature measurement and adopts a walk-in environmental test chamber to simulate the temperature measurement of the intelligent infrared thermometer under different temperature and humidity conditions. The data is analyzed through SPSS22.0 statistical software, fully considering the influence of multiple factors such as distance, angle, temperature, and humidity on the intelligent infrared thermometer. Results When only considering the height, the measurement results of 190cm volunteers using glass thermometer and intelligent infrared thermometer showed statistical difference; However, there was no significant statistical difference in the measurement results of volunteers with a height of 160cm. The measurement result is less affected by the angle change, which will affect the measurement data (the measurement value is low), especially when the measurement distance increases; When only considering the single factor of ambient temperature and humidity, there will be significant statistical differences in the measurement data between room temperatures of 25℃ and 35℃, 25℃ and 10℃, as well as between sunny summer days (35℃, 30%RH) and rainy days (35℃, 80%RH). With the interference of multiple factors, the accuracy of the measured data will decline (the measured value is low). When considering the simultaneous interference of multiple factors such as distance, height, and humidity, the maximum relative error is 2.7%, and the maximum error is 1℃. Conclusion In the actual use process, it is necessary to fully consider the effective measurement distance of the intelligent infrared thermometer and the influence of ambient temperature and humidity on the temperature measurement results. Combined with the current standards, it is believed that such equipment has certain risks, hoping to provide a reference for establishing evaluation methods for such equipment.

    Objective To investigate the effects of different scout scanning parameters on the image quality and radiation dose of phantom chest CT using axial and spiral scanning under automatic tube current modulation technology (ATCM). Methods The tube current of scout scan was fixed at 10 mA. Different combinations of tube voltage, projection position of tube, and scanning speed were used to scan the chest scout of the phantom. The chest of the phantom was scanned using diagnostic computed tomography (DCT) with an 80 kV tube voltage and ATCM technology for axial and spiral scans. For each combination of the scanning parameters, 144 sets of original data were obtained for comparative study. On the same level and position in each DCT image, a consistent region of interest (ROI) was delineated, and the automatically displayed CT value and standard deviation (SD) were recorded. The contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and figure of merit (FOM) values were calculated, and the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and mA were recorded. The CNR, FOM, and CTDIvol of the DCT were compared for different combinations of the scout scanning parameters. Results ① The CNR of all DCT spiral scans was superior to that of axial scans, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); With the same scanning speed of scout scan in spiral scan mode, the CNR differences of DCT images among the three tube voltages of scout scan was statistically significant (P<0.05); When the tube voltage of scout scan was 80kV, there is a statistically significant difference in CNR of DCT images between the scanning speeds of 100mm/s and 200mm/s in both spiral scan and axial scan modes (P<0.05). ② The FOM of all axial scans of all DCT images was superior to that of spiral scans, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); the FOM of DCT images was different statistically (P<0.05) among the three types of scout tube voltage in the spiral scanning mode with scanning speed of 200mm/s; When the tube voltage of scout scan was 80kV, there is a statistically significant difference in FOM of DCT images between the scanning speeds of 100mm/s and 200mm/s in both spiral scan and axial scan modes (P<0.05). ③ The CTDIvol of all DCT spiral scans was higher than that of axial scans, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); With the same scanning speed of scout scan in spiral scan mode, the CTDIvol of DCT was different statistically (P<0.05) among the three types of scout tube voltage; When the tube voltage of scout scan was 80kV and in the axial scan mode, the CTDIvol values at a scanning speed of 100mm/s is significantly higher than that at a scanning speed of 200mm/s (P<0.05). ④ In single-scout scans, the CTDIvol of DCT in the anteroposterior/posteroanterior position is always smaller than that in the lateral position; when using dual- scout scans, the CTDIvol value of DCT is lower in both lateral+anteroposterior/posteroanterior position than in anteroposterior/posteroanterior +lateral position, except for the parts where the tube projection angle is 90 °+180 ° and 180 °+90 °, which are equal; in the last dual- scout scans, when the ball tube is located at 180°, the CTDIvol of the spiral scanning DCT is higher than that of the 0°. Conclusion When phantom chest DCT scan using an 80kV tube voltage and ATCM technology, the scout scanning parameters (tube voltage, scanning speed, and projection position of tube) have a certain effect on image quality and radiation dose, and the radiation dose is related to the projection position of tube and scanning order of the scout scans.

    Objective The aim of this study is to establish a predictive model for the distribution of set-up errors in patients undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Methods Data on set-up errors were collected from 45 SBRT patients treated with the Varian Vital Beam (SN3546) medical linear accelerator at the Department of Oncology and Radiology of Xuzhou Medical University, spanning the period from 2019 to 2022. These data were then used to construct a predictive model for the distribution of set-up errors and to determine the model's parameters. Results Analysis revealed that translation errors primarily occur at three central points (μ1~μ3). The greatest set-up error is observed in the Vrt direction (-3.45mm~4.84mm) and Lng direction (0.22mm~5.67mm), while the Lat direction shows the smallest set-up error (0.14mm~0.79mm). The set-up error is most likely to shift towards the center of μ3 (0.54), with the least likelihood of shifting towards μ1 (0.20). The maximum variance for the translation direction is 1.72. Rotation errors are concentrated around four central points (μ1~μ4), with larger offsets observed in the Pit (-0.50~0.12) and Rol directions (-0.52~0.10) compared to the Rtn (0.03~0.25). The set-up error is most likely to occur in the μ3 direction (0.69), while the other three central points do not differ significantly. The maximum variance for the rotation direction is 1.63. Compared with the translation direction, the variance values of each center in the rotation direction are larger except for the μ2 center point data (0.57), indicating that the translation direction data is more clustered. Conclusion The Bayesian Gaussian hybrid model can quantitatively describe and predict the distribution of set-up errors, providing valuable insights for further exploring the distribution patterns of swing errors in SBRT.
