Abstract

The various types of radiation-generator devices have been used in animal hospitals, and the safety for radiation workers is becoming important in Korea. This study investigated and analyzed the radiation safety management for diagnostic radiation-generator devices and radiation workers of animal hospital. The number of radiation-generator devices and radiation workers of animal hospital increased from 2,138 to 2,972 and from 2,644 and 5,733 for six years. The number of general X-ray, CT, C-arm, portable and dental X-ray in 2019 were 2,204, 58, 67, 770, and 14. The number of veterinarian, veterinary nurse, veterinary assistant, and others in 2019 were 4,236, 1,080, 404, and 13. The average exposure dose of radiation workers in 2018 were 0.21mSv in surface dose, 0.18mSv in depth doses. This study is expected to be the basic data for the safety management of radiation-generating devices and radiation workers in animal hospital.

다양한 종류의 방사선 발생장치가 동물병원에서 사용되면서 방사선 관계종사자들의 안전이 중요해지고 있으나 방사선 발생장치 및 방사선 관계종사자들에 대한 안전관리 정보가 없는 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 방사선 검사기관 및 측정기관, 시·군·구에서 조사되어진 방사선 발생장치 및 관계종사자, 피폭선량 등을 조사, 분석하였다. 최근 6년간 동물병원에서의 방사선 발생장치와 관계종사자 수는 각각 2,138대에서 2,972대, 2,644명에서 5,733명으로 증가하였다. 2019년 방사선 발생장치의 수는 일반 X-ray, CT, C-arm, 이동형 X-ray, 치과용 X-ray는 각각 2,204대, 58대, 67대, 770대, 14대인 것으로 조사되었다. 2019년 방사선 관계종사자 수는 수의사 4,236명, 수의간호사 1,080명, 업무보조원 404명, 기타 13명인 것으로 조사되었다. 2018년 방사선 관계종사자 연간평균피폭선량은 표층선량 0.21mSv, 심부선량 0.18mSv인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 동물병원에서 사용하고 있는 방사선 발생장치 및 방사선 관계종사자의 안전관리에 대한 기초 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
