Abstract

Pediatrics are more sensibility to radiation than adults and because they are organs that are not completely grown, they have a life expectancy that can be adversely affected by exposure. Therefore, the management of exposure dose is more important than the case of adult. The purpose of this study was to determine the suitability of the 10 year old phantom for the 5 year old pediatric's recommendation and the incident surface dose, and to measure the organ absorbed dose. This study is compared the organ absorbed dose and the entrance surface dose in the clinical conditions at 5 and 10 years old pediatric. Clinical 5 year old condition was slightly higher than recommendation condition and 10 year old condition was very high. In addition, recommendation condition ESD was found to be 43% higher than the ESD of the 5 year old group and the ESD of the 10 year old group was 126% higher than that of the 5 year old group. The recommended ESD at 5 years old and the ESD according to clinical imaging conditions were 31.6%. There was no significant difference between the 5 year old recommended exposure conditions and the organ absorbed dose due to clinical exposure conditions, but there was a large difference between the Chest and Pelvic. However, it was found that there was a remarkable difference when comparing the organ absorbed dose by 10 year clinical exposure conditions. Therefore, more detailed standard exposure dose for the recommended dose of pediatric should be studied.

소아는 성인보다 장기의 방사선에 대한 감수성이 크고 성장 중이기 때문에 더 민감하다. 피폭으로 인한 부작용을 겪는 기대수명이 길기 때문에 피폭선량의 관리가 어른의 경우보다 중요하게 다뤄진다. 본 연구는 10세 팬텀을 사용하여 현재 우리나라에 권고되어 있는 5세 소아의 촬영기준과 입사표면선량의 적합성을 확인하고 추가적으로 제시된 촬영기준으로 장기흡수선량을 측정해보았다. 임상에서 사용 중인 5세와 10세의 촬영조건과 장기흡수선량, 입사표면선량을 비교하였다. 임상 5세 촬영조건이 권고촬영조건보다 약간 높으며 임상 10세 촬영조건은 많이 높게 나타났다. 또한 권고 촬영조건으로 ESD를 측정한 결과 임상 촬영조건의 ESD가 43% 높게 나타났으며 10세의 ESD는 5세의 권고 촬영조건의 ESD 보다 126% 증가를 나타냈다. 5세의 권고된 ESD와 임상 촬영조건에 의한 ESD를 비교한 결과 31.6%의 차이를 나타냈다. 5세의 권고 촬영조건과 임상 촬영조건에 의한 장기흡수선량은 큰 차이는 없으나 흉부와 골반검사에서는 차이가 컸다. 그러나 10세의 임상 촬영조건에 의한 장기흡수선량을 비교하면 월등한 차이가 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 소아의 권고 선량에 대한 더욱 세분화된 기준안이 연구되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
