Abstract

The quality control items of mammography devices in South Korea do not include the linearity, which is required by international standards. The linearity is a requirement for the adjustment of radiation dose and radiation quality. This study tested the linearity, which was suitable for the IEC 60601-2-45 standard, of the 5 mammography devices. All showed adequate results. Consistent measurement management is required for more developed quality control in the future.

현재 우리나라 유방촬영장치의 정도관리 항목에는 국제규격에서 원하는 직선성이 빠져있다. 직선성은 방사선량 및 방사선질의 조정을 위한 요구사항이다. 본 연구에서는 유방촬영장치 5대를 대상으로 IEC 60601-2-45 규격에 맞는 직선성을 시험한 결과 모두 적합한 결과를 보였으며 앞으로 좀 더 발전된 정도관리를 위해서는 지속적인 측정관리가 필요하다.
