Analysis of Image Quality for Hysterosalpingography Examinations
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The study objective was to assess the image quality during Hysterosalpingography (HSG) according to the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) guidelines in certain hospitals in Sudan and to compare the findings with global standards. The image quality analysis was employed straightforward and easy meth¬od for clinical evaluating radiographic images via some common used exposure parameters in terms of image quality criteria scoring (IQCs). A subjective evaluation of patient images from nine hospitals (Public and Private) in three different provinces in Khartoum capital were considered in the current study has been made by expertise clinicians. A number of 347 HSG Images; 122 Patients exam demonstrated the European Guidelines on quality criteria for diagnostic radiographic images of assessment image quality. The maximum possible score of image criteria yielded 65.6, 67.9.71.1 and 81.7. Also, entrance surface air kerma (ESAK) quantified values of 2.1, 1.7, 2.5 and 2.4 mGy for TH, UH, MH and PH respectively. The overall image quality and ESAK were 71.6 and 2.1 mG, respectively. The analysis of image quality is critical for explanation of the radiographic process in any clinical setting. The above recent results have been shown that image quality is dependent on a wide variety of interactions including training of personnel, protocols, equipment age and type. Keywords: Image quality, Hysterosalpingography, image criteria, European guidelines.
