Abstract

Background : Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non invasive imaging examinations, which are used to evaluate the tractus billiaris, pancreatic ducts and gall bladder. In the last decade, one way to lower the scan time is with the method of parallel imaging. Parallel imaging has a basic function is the reduction of the time of the scan, as well as maintain the contrast of the image without the need for a system of higher performance gradients. Reduction of scan time in parallel imaging has some benefits. First, it is very useful for sequences that depends on the scanning time is short as a single breath hold. Second, the overall inspection time can be reduced, especially in patients with complaints of pain are great at certain positions such as pain when lying down, in patients of children or in cases of civil defence emergency. Breath hold itself has the purpose to avoid the image of the blur of movement organs. When breathing there is movement of the thoracic and abdominal organs in the cavum. However, the characteristics of each person has different breath hold. When the patient's breath hold insufficient at the time scanning takes place then the resulting image results become less than optimal and may cause artifacts in the picture. The scanning time on the MRCP examination sequences long enough to cause patients to press the emergency buzzer, this caused the patient to feel less comfortable at the time of the examination to take place, and the resulting examination in repeated from the beginning. Therefore researchers wanted to apply the technique of parallel imaging in examination of MRCP on T2 Coronal because of parallel imaging has benefits that are very useful for sequences that depends on the scanning time is short like a breath hold.Methods : This type of research is research experiments. This research was conducted on MRI 1.5 Tesla in Hospitals Tarakan from Jakarta and carried out in 8 volunteers. The results of the performed image ROI value to get SNR, ROI was performed on the area of the right hepatic duct, left hepatic duct, gall bladder, common bile duct and cystic duct so the obtained average value for signal compared to the ROI on background (standard deviation noise). Data analysis was done by using different test with a test of T-test to tell the difference between the use of SENSE against SNR.Results : The results of the calculation of the value of the average SNR of image sequence, MRCP Sequences TSE T2 Coronal without the SENSE on the anatomy of the right hepatic ductus 54.49; left hepatic ductus 55.54; gall bladder 91.07; the common bile duct 68.94 and cystic duct 60.46. While the value of SNR in image sequence, MRCP Sequences TSE T2 Coronal TSE that use the SENSE on the anatomy of the right hepatic duct 45.77; left duct heatic 46.88; gall bladder 77.87; the common bile duct 60.72 and cystic duct 50.58Scan time difference that is the average value of the scan time on Coronal T2 TSE piece sequences without SENSE for 1 minute 32 seconds while in the Coronal T2 TSE piece sequences using SENSE during 49 seconds or reduced by 46.7% compared with sequences TSE standards without SENSE on examination MRCP T2 Coronal.Conclusion : Based on the results of the study explains that there is a difference between the use of SENSE against SNR in the T2 Coronal TSE sequence in MRCP examination with the highest level of the overall significance of the p-value 0.05. On the use of SENSE decline SNR but scan time becomes shorter 46,7% compared with no use of SENSE

Abstract

Background: Radiotherapy masks patients are a fixation tool in radiotherapy radiation services. The function of the radiotherapy mask is to fix the irradiation area in the patient’s body part for serial radiation therapy, for approximately 1 month. A printed radiotherapy mask is used by the patient from the first session until the final session of radiation is complete. The inner surface of the mask is always in contact with the patient's skin. Practically, the masks are never been cleaned so it is possible to develop infectious Fungi or microorganisms. The research objective was to determine the difference in the number of microorganisms (Staphylococcus and Fungi) before and after cleaning using a 70% alcohol disinfectant Methodology: This is experimental research. The number of microorganisms (Staphylococcus and Fungi) in 16 radiotherapy masks were identified with the Swap method before and after cleaning using 70% alcohol disinfectant. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to determine the differences in the number of microorganisms before and after cleaning and to identify the reduction percentages. Result: the number of Fungi and Staphylococcus before cleaning were 9,528 and 0.490, while after cleaning were 8228 and 0,194, respectively The amount of percentage reductions before and after cleaning were 43.275% (Staphylococcus ) and 38.529% (Fungi). Based on the Wilcoxon test on Staphylococcus , meaning that. There was a difference in Staphylococcus (ρ value= 0.003) on the radiotherapy patient's mask before and after cleaning using 70% alcohol. There was no difference in Fungi (ρ value= 0.220) before and after being cleaned using 70% alcohol. The research results are very important as material for the revision of standard operational procedures for radiotherapy services.
