The air kerma, which is the amount of energy given off by a radioactive substance, is essential for medical specialists who use radiation to diagnose cancer problems. The amount of energy that a photon has when it hits something can be described as the air kerma (the amount of energy that was deposited in the air when the photon passed through it). Radiation beam intensity is represented by this value. Hospital X-ray equipment has to account for the heel effect, which means that the borders of the picture obtain a lesser radiation dosage than the center, and that air kerma is not symmetrical. The voltage of the X-ray machine can also affect the uniformity of the radiation. This work presents a model-based approach to predict air kerma at various locations inside the radiation field of medical imaging instruments, making use of just a small number of measurements. Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) neural networks are suggested for this purpose. Firstly, a medical X-ray tube was modeled using Monte Carlo N Particle (MCNP) code simulation algorithm. X-ray tubes and detectors make up medical X-ray CT imaging systems. An X-ray tube’s electron filament, thin wire, and metal target produce a picture of the electrons’ target. A small rectangular electron source modeled electron filaments. An electron source target was a thin, 19,290 kg/m3 tungsten cube in a tubular hoover chamber. The electron source–object axis of the simulation object is 20° from the vertical. For most medical X-ray imaging applications, the kerma of the air was calculated at a variety of discrete locations within the conical X-ray beam, providing an accurate data set for network training. Various locations were taken into account in the aforementioned voltages inside the radiation field as the input of the GMDH network. For diagnostic radiology applications, the trained GMDH model could determine the air kerma at any location in the X-ray field of view and for a wide range of X-ray tube voltages with a Mean Relative Error (MRE) of less than 0.25%. This study yielded the following results: (1) The heel effect is included when calculating air kerma. (2) Computing the air kerma using an artificial neural network trained with minimal data. (3) An artificial neural network quickly and reliably calculated air kerma. (4) Figuring out the air kerma for the operating voltage of medical tubes. The high accuracy of the trained neural network in determining air kerma guarantees the usability of the presented method in operational conditions.

Objective:To detect the expression and methylation of TIA1 in breast cancer and to study its correlation with multi-slice spiral CT signs.Methods:50 patients with breast cancer were collected from Feb.2019 to Mar. 2020. The expression levels of TIA1 in breast cancer tissues and in peritumoral tissues were estimated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Bioinformatics software MethPrimer was used for predicting TIA1 promotor and confirmed the existence of cPG island. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) was performed to detect TIA1 DNA promoter methylation. All patients were examined by multi-slice CT. CT images were analyzed through observing the tumor size, shape, calcification area, lymph node metastasis and margin. The correlation between CT signs and TIA1 methylation status was further analyzed.Results:The expression levels of TIA1 in breast cancer tissues were lower than in peritumoral tissues (0.50±0.12, 0.95±0.10, P=0.00) , while TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate was higher than in peritumoral tissues (64%, 42%, χ2=4.86, P<0.05) .There were no significant differences in TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate among patients with different tumor shape and micro calcifications. TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate in patients with mass diameter≥2 cm were significantly higher than those in patients with mass diameter<2 cm (78.57%, 45.45%, P<0.05) , and TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate in patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than those without lymph node metastasis (79.17%, 50%, P<0.05) . TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate in patients with burr at edge of mass was higher than those without burr at edge of mass (80.77%, 45.83%, P<0.05) . Conclusion:There is a correlation between CT imaging signs and TIA1 DNA promoter methylation rate in patients with breast cancer, which can provide more reference for the judgment of malignant degree and prognosis of patients with breast cancer.
