Both angiography and interventional procedures accompanied by angiography provide many diagnostic and therapeutic benefits to patients and are rapidly increasing. However, unlike general radiography or computed tomography using the same X-ray, the amount of radiation is quite high, but the dose range can vary considerably for each patient and operator. The high sensitivity of the lens to radiation during cerebral angiography and neurointervention is already well known, and although there are many related studies, it is insufficient to easily reduce radiation in diagnosis and treatment. In this situation, in particular, by adding three-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) to the existing two-dimensional (2D) angiography, it is now possible to make an accurate diagnosis. However, since this 3D-RA acquires images through projection of more radiation than before, the exposure dose of the lens may be higher. Therefore, we tried to analyze whether the radiation dose of the lens can be reduced by moving the lens out of the field range by adjusting the table height and magnification ratio during the examination using 3D-RA. The surface dose was measured using a rando phantom and a radiophotoluminescent glass dosimeter (PLD) and the radiation dose was compared by adjusting the table height and magnification ratio based on the central point. As a result, it was found that the radiation dose of the lens decreased as the table height increased from the central point, that is, as the lens was out of the field of view. In conclusion, in 3D-RA, moving the table position of about 2 cm in height will make a significant contribution to the dose reduction of the lens, and it was confirmed that adjusting the magnification ratio can also reduce the surface dose of the lens.

투시검사실내 공간산란선 분포에 대한 정확한 정보와 환자, 검사 자 등에 대한 피폭을 줄이고자 투시용방사선 발생장치를 이용한 실험결과는 다음과 같았다. 테이블과 동일한 높이의 경우 산란선은 50 cm지점과 250 cm 지점에서 0.78 mGy/min ~ 0.04 mGy/min (95 %), 테이블 하 방향 50 cm의 경우 0.17 mGy/min ~ 0.02 mGy/min (86 %), 테이블 상 방향 50 cm 의 경우 1.37 mGy/min ~ 0.05 mGy/min (96 %) 로 감소하였고 상 방향 50 cm 보다 수평지점에서 50 ~ 60% 선량 감소를 나타냈고 하 방향 50 cm 지점에서는 90 ~ 95%정도의 감소율을 나타냈다. 조사야 조절장치의 경우 25%로 줄였을 때 50 cm 지점에서 0.78 mGy/min 에서 0.16 mGy/min 으로, 250 cm 지점에서 0.04 mGy/min 에서 0.01 mGy/min으로 평균 80% 정도 감소하였다. 피사체의 유무의 경우 피사체가 없는 경우 모든 측정지점에서 평균 96.7% 공간 산란선량이 감소하였다.
