초록

본 연구에서는 구내 촬영시 방사선작업종사자와 X선관 사이 거리의 증가에 따라 방사선작업종사자의 안면부 피폭선량 감소의 변화를 측정하고자 하였다. 우선 인체조직과 유사한 안면부 Phantom을 제작하였다. 구내 촬영 장치를 이용하여 촬영조건을 성인 상악 대구치부 노출조건 (60kVp, 10mA. 50msec)과 소아 상악 대구치부 노출조건 (60kVp, 10mA, 20msec)으로 설정 하고 방사선작업종사의 안면부의 위치에 Chamber를 고정시켰다. X선 관구와 Phantom을 Chamber로 부터 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, 40cm 위치시킨 후 각 검사조건으로 Phantom을 20회 조사한 후 평균 산란선량을 측정 하였다. 연구 결과 성인 조건으로 조사한 후 감소율은 10cm에서 조사한 산란선량을 기준으로 하였을 때 40cm 에서는 감소율이 7.43%로 약 92.6%가 감소가 되었다. 또한 소아 조건으로 조사한 후 감소율은 10 cm에서 조사한 산란선량을 기준으로 하였을 때 40 cm 에서는 감소율이 2.58 %로 약 97.6%가 감소가 되었다. 결론적으로 치과 방사선 검사 시 방사선 피폭에 대한 방호가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The study examined the changes in the decreased facial exposure dose for radiological technologists depending on increased distance between the workers and the X-ray tube head during intraoral radiography. First, the facial phantom similar to the human tissues was manufactured. The shooting examination was configured to the maxillary molars for adults (60kVp, 10mA, 50msec) and for children (60kVp, 10mA, 20msec), and the chamber was fixed where the facial part of the radiation worker would be placed using the intraoral radiography equipment. The distances between the X-ray tube head and the phantom were set to 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40cm. The phantom was radiated 20 times with each examination condition and the average scattered doses were examined. The rate at the distance of 40cm decreased by about 92.6% to 7.43% based on the scattered rays radiated at the distance of 10cm under the adult conditions. The rate at the distance of 40cm decreased by about 97.6% to 2.58% based on the scattered rays radiated at the distance of 10cm under the children conditions. Protection from the radiation exposure was required during the dental radiographic examination.
