Abstract

Digital Mammography is very important for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. but excessive radiation dose to the patient may increase the probability of occurrence of breast cancer. absorbed dose rate and signal, noise, and contrast in accordance with the change of the filter, and analyzed the signal-to-noise ratio. absorbed dose rate GE Equipment is higher than that of Siemens and Hologic. using the material of Mo / Mo was lower than the other target-filter combination. SNR of Siemens equipment is high and measured high when Mo / Mo selected, the other two devices was measured high when Mo / Rh selected. when you choose a target-filter combination our results will be a good indicator.

디지털유방촬영술은 유방암의 조기진단에 매우 중요하다. 그러나 방사선량을 과다하게 피폭하는 경우에는 환자에게 유방암의 발생확률을 증가 시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 제조사별 관전압과 타깃-필터의 변화에 따른 흡수선량률과 화질을 분석하고 최적의 타깃-필터조합을 찾아 환자의 피폭선량 변화를 확인하고자 하였다. 각 제조사별 흡수선량률에서는 Mo/Mo를 사용할 때 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 대조도는 Mo/Rh를 사용할 때 우수하게 나타났다. SNR은 Mo/Mo(Siemens), Mo/Rh(Hologic), Mo/Rh(GE) 에서 우수하게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 최대의 환자선량감소, 고대조도 영상획득, 높은 SNR 영상획득등 사용목적에 따라 타깃-필터 선택 시 좋은 참고지표가 될 것이다.
