医用诊断X射线能谱模拟的对比分析

    Comparative Analysis of Energy Spectrum Simulation for Medical Diagnostic X-Rays

    • 摘要: 为了进一步了解医用诊断X射线的辐射特性和验证计算机能谱模拟方法的可行性,分别使用EGSnrc和MCNP5两种蒙特卡洛模拟程序,构建辐照装置的简易模型,模拟计算得到不同管电压、不同附加过滤厚度条件下的X射线能谱分布,并建立了RQR系列辐射质的能谱数据库。研究结果表明,管电压、过滤材料等都会影响X射线的能谱分布。日常实践中,在X射线设备的阳极靶角已确定的情况下,精确设定管电压,定期监测辐射质量变化情况,并对附加过滤进行必要的调整,是确保医用诊断设备测量结果一致性的必要手段。对比分析两种软件的模拟计算结果,平均能量差异小于2%。EGSnrc在模拟计算的过程中具有易使用、模拟效率高、数据处理方便等优势。

       

      Abstract: To further understand the radiation characteristics of medical diagnostic X-rays and verify the feasibility of computer-based energy spectrum simulation methods, two Monte Carlo simulation programs, EGSnrc and MCNP5, were used to construct simplified models of irradiation devices. These models simulated X-ray energy spectrum distributions under various tube voltages and additional filter thicknesses, establishing an energy spectrum database for the RQR series radiation qualities. Results demonstrate that tube voltage and filter materials significantly influence X-ray energy spectrum distribution. In clinical practice, when the anode target angle of X-ray equipment is predetermined, accurately setting the tube voltage, regularly monitoring radiation quality changes, and making necessary adjustments to additional filtration are essential measures to ensure consistency in medical diagnostic equipment measurements. Comparative analysis of simulation results from both software packages shows that the difference in average energy is less than 2%. EGSnrc demonstrates advantages in ease of use, high simulation efficiency, and convenient data processing during simulation calculations.
