Abstract

Mammography improves image quality that is on the increase day by day and get a picture with the pressure it is essential to reduce the dose. However, because due to the thickness of the cuff itself may increase the dose scattering lines is necessary study on the cuff material. Material that is currently being used in clinical Polycarbonate is a plastic and family. If you try to reduce the exposure of patients than itgie need to consider for the better material in this study to compare against a radiolucent line for amorphous plastic material of the plastic. results radiolucent and half layer, transmitting dose Pixel values HIPS, GPPS, ABS, Tritan, PC, PMMA showed high results in the net.

유방촬영은 날로 증가추세에 있으며 압박을 통해 영상을 얻는 것이 화질을 향상시키고 피폭선량을 줄이는데 필수적이다. 그러나 압박대 자체의 두께로 인해 산란선과 피폭선량을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 압박대 재질에 대한 고찰이 필요하다. 현재 임상에서 쓰이고 있는 재질은 폴리카보네이트이며 플라스틱 계열이다. 환자의 피폭선량을 줄이기 위해 노력한다면 이보다 더 좋은 재질에 대해 고려해볼 필요가 있기에 본 연구에서는 플라스틱 계열 물질 중 비결정성 플라스틱에 대한 방사선투과성에 대해 비교해 보았다. 결과 방사선투과성 및 반가층, 투과 선량의 Pixel값이 HIPS, GPPS, ABS, Tritan, PC, PMMA 순으로 높은 결과를 보였다.
