Abstract

chest Indirect radiography were taken at 44 medical facilities in Seoul area. The results were as follows: 1. The average tube voltage was 98.2 kVp in case of 100 mm film and 91.3 kVp in case of 70 mm film. 2. The average tube current was 18.1 mAs in case of 100 mm film and 42.5 mAs in case of 70 mm film. 3. In the physical evaluation of chest Indirect radiographs, the density in case of 100 mm film was similar to that in case of 70 mm film. 4. In the visual evaluation of chest Indirect radiographs, the score of identification in case of 100 mm film was higher than that in case of 70 mm film. 5. The average dose of radiation into the skin was 1.38 mGy in case of 100mm film and 4.59 mGy in case of 70 mm film. In conclusion, the image quality of chests was excellent and the dose of radiation into the skin decreased in case of 100 mm film.

수도권에 소재하는 의료기관 44개 곳에서 시행하는 흉부X선 간접촬영에서 사용한 간접촬영 필름의 크기에 따라 촬영조건, 화상의 물리적 평가 및 시각적 평가, 조사선량 등을 조사한 결과 아직도 대부분 저관전압 촬영을 하고 있어 적절한 촬영조건 개선이 필요하며, 화상평가 비교에서 물리적 평가에서는 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 시각적 평가에서는 100mm 필름을 사용한 경우가 70mm 필름을 사용한 경우보다 대체적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 흉부표면에 조사되는 선량은 70mm 필름을 사용한 경우가 100mm 필름을 사용한 경우보다 3배 이상의 피폭이 더 되고 있어 환자의 피폭선량 경감과 화질개선에 있어서 필름 선택의 중요성을 재삼 인식시켜 주었다.
