Abstract

Radioactive iodine treatment that uses the 2 people isolation room is to cause unnecessary radiation exposure between patients. This research is to be tested safety of 2 people Isolation treatment room and dose-rate through conservative perspective except physiology characteristic and biology information on the assumption that patient have iodine without excretion in 2 people isolation treatment room. This research shows that 364 keV gamma rays emitted by the radioiodine was to determine that the air layer about 30 cm or lead shield 3 mm a half-layer. In addition, In addition, patients in the distance, and lead shielding, length of hospital stay (48 hours) for external radiation exposure that is received from the other patients, two of treatment as appears to be lower than the legal isolation standard dose less than 5 mSv isolation room effective analyzed that manageable.

방사성옥소를 이용한 2인 치료격리병실은 환자간의 불필요한 피폭선량을 유발하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 방사성 옥소를 섭취 후 배설 없이 모두 인체에 분포하였다는 가정 하에 방사성 옥소의 물리적 특성 및 생물역동학적 정보를 제외한 보수적인 관점으로 몬테카를로 모의 모사를 이용한 2인 치료격리병실의 안전성을 평가하고자 한다. 실험 결과 방사성옥소에서 방출되는 364 keV의 감마선은 공기층 약 30 cm 또는 납 차폐체 3 mm가 반가층으로 작용됨을 파악할 수 있었으며, 환자간 거리 및 납 차폐체의 두께를 이용하였을 때, 입원기간(48시간)동안 상대방 환자로부터 받게 되는 외부 피폭선량은 5 mSv 이하로 법적 격리 기준선량 보다 낮게 나타남으로써 2인 치료격리병실의 효율적인 관리가 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.
