Abstract

The reason for recording dose data when using a diagnostic radiation source is to record and manage the dose to healthcare personnel and patients. The purpose of this study was to verify the difference in radiation dose when using diagnostic radiation generating devices and to inform users' awareness of dose reduction through measurement and analysis of dose in situations with and without shielding. The dose analysis of each equipment for two Korean C-arms and two German C-arms showed that the Korean FPD type C-arm had the highest dose value, followed by the German I.I type C-arm, German FPD type C-arm, Korean, and I.I type C-arm. The results of the dose analysis with and without shielding showed that the dose to the human phantom in a normal atmosphere increased by about 2 times due to scattered radiation, but the dose to the human phantom was reduced by about 5 times by wearing a shield (0.5mm/lead apron). More important than the management of radiation dose is the study of how to reduce exposure when using radiation, and since the radiation dose output from different equipment is different, it is necessary to provide dose information with and without shielding.

진단용방사선발생장치를 사용함에 있어서 선량데이터를 기록하는 이유는 의료진 및 환자의 피폭선량을 기록하고 관리하기 위함이다. 진단용방사선발생장치를 사용함에 있어서 방사선량의 차이를 검증하고 위험성과 차폐체 착용의 유무의 상황에서 피폭선량에 대한 측정과 분석을 통해 사용자의 피폭선량 경감에 대한 인식을 알리고자 하였다. 에스레이튜브와 II튜브에 따라 구분하여 장비를 한국 C-arm 2대, 독일 C-arm 2대장비를 대상으로 각 장비별 선량분석결과 한국 FPD type C-arm 이 가장 높은 선량값이 측정되었고, 독일 I.I type C-arm, 독일 FPD type C-arm, 한국, I.I type C-arm 순서로 피폭선량값이 측정되었다. 차폐체 유무에 따른 피폭선량 분석결과 일반적인 대기상태에 인체팬텀을 놓고 측정결과 산란선에 의해 피폭선량이 약 2배 증가하였으나 차폐체(0.5mm/납앞치마)를 착용하니 약 5배의 피폭선량 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 피폭선량과 차폐체를 통해 피폭선량의 관리가 중요한 역할을 하며 방사선 피폭을 줄이는 방법을 유추할 수 있다. 또한, 장비마다 출력되는 피폭선량이 다른 특성을 갖고 있음으로 차폐체를 유무를 선별하는데 선량정보로 제공을 할 것으로 기대 한다.
