초록

Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 MV X, ${\gamma}$선에서의 선량증가 효과를 평가하였다. MCNPX code를 이용하여 ICRU 평판형(Slab) 모의피폭체를 전산모사하였으며, 입사 광자의 에너지, 선량증가 물질의 종류 및 농도에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 선량증가 물질은 금(aurum), 가돌리늄(gadolinium), 요오드(iodine), 산화철(iron oxide)에 대해 비교 평가하였으며, 입사에너지는 선형가속기에서 발생된 4, 6, 10, 15 MV X선의 스펙트럼과 Co 60의 ${\gamma}$선원을 사용하였다. 모의피폭체 내에 7, 18, 30 mg/g 농도의 물질을 삽입하였으며, 선량증가 효과의 정량적 평가를 위해 선량증가비를 산출하였다. X선의 입사에너지가 낮을수록, 선량증가 물질의 농도가 높을수록 높은 선량증가비를 나타내었으며, 최대 선량증가비는 금 1.079, 가돌리늄 1.062, 요오드 1.049, 산화철 1.035를 보여 금, 가돌리늄, 요오드, 산화철 입자 순으로 높은 선량증가 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 In-vivo, vitro 연구의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Dose enhancement effects at megavoltage (MV) X and ${\gamma}-ray$ energies, and the effects of different energy levels on incident energy, dose enhancement agents, and concentrations were analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. Gold, gadolinium, Iodine, and iron oxide ($Fe_2O_3$) were compared as dose enhancement agents. For incident energy, 4, 6, 10 and 15 MV X-ray spectra produced by a linear accelerator and a Co-60 ${\gamma}-ray$ were used. The dose enhancement factor (DEF) was calculated using an ICRU Slab phantom for concentrations of 7, 18, and 30 mg/g. The DEF was higher at higher concentrations of dose enhancement agents and at lower incident energies. The calculated DEF ranged from 1.035 to 1.079, and dose enhancement effects were highest for iron oxide, followed by iodine, gadolinium, and gold. Thus, this study contributes to improving the therapeutic ratio by delivering larger doses of radiation to tumor volume, and provides data to support further in vivo and in vitro studies.
