Abstract
AbstractThe well‐referenced structural shielding design NCRP Report No. 147 uses workload information based on self‐reported film‐screen data from the AAPM Task Group 9 survey. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical workload distributions of modern digital radiography (DR) systems in general hospital and pediatric‐only practices. A retrospective analysis of DR imaging data on four radiographic systems in a hospital practice and two radiographic systems in a pediatric practice, through a custom clinical DICOM header analytics program. A total of 203, 294 exposures from the general hospital practice and 25,415 from the pediatric practice from 2019 and 2021 were included. Values for kVp, mAs, and detector type (wall bucky, table bucky, or free detector) were extracted. For each exam, mAs was accumulated in a kVp histogram with bins 5 kVp wide and further parsed by detector type. Total workload was calculated by summing all exposures, then normalized by the number of patients. The median (25th and 75th percentile) workload in the hospital practice was 0.43 (0.22, 1.13) mA‐min per patient, while the average was 1.36 ± 3.08. Pediatric data yielded a median (25th and 75th percentile) of 0.10 (0.05, 0.23) and an average of 0.29 ± 0.69 mA‐min per patient. Mean number of patients per week was 230 adult and 57 pediatric. Hospital workload data is approximately 44% less than the NCRP Report No. 147 value.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
