Massive chylous leakage is a rare postoperative complication that can prolong hospital stay and cause secondary morbidities. Conservative management strategies are the treatment of choice; however, radiation therapy (RT) can be used as an alternative for cases that are refractory to conservative treatment. Herein, we report a 69-year-old female patient who suffered from massive chylous leakage after subtotal gastrectomy. Due to persistent massive chylous leakage, she was scheduled to undergo low-dose RT. Radiation was delivered with a daily dose of 1 Gy, using an anterior-posterior and posterior-anterior beam arrangement. The clinical target volume encompassed the entire lymph node area of the D2 dissection. RT was completed at the total dose of 8 Gy because the amount of chylous leakage declined rapidly. Percutaneous drainage tube was removed after 3 days of RT. The patient did not complain of any symptoms related to massive chylous leakage 2 years after the completion of RT.

이 연구는 CT(computed tomography)검사 중 발생하는 방사선 누설선량(radiation leakage)으로부터 종사자 및 일반인의 피폭을 최소화하기 위한 것이다. 부산, 경남에 위치한 대학병원 7곳과 종합전문요양병원 4곳의 CT실을 대상으로 하였다. 누설선량 측정 장소로는 1) 조정실 내 감시창 벽면의 지면으로부터 3m 높이 2) 조정실 내 특정 지점 3) 조정실 내 종사자 출입문 4) 환자 출입문을 선정하였다. 그 결과 M병원의 종사자 출입문에서 가장 높은 누설선량이 나타났다. 각각의 측정값은 고전적 방법에 의한 주당 최대 누설선량으로 환산하였다. 그 결과 1) $5.97{\pm}0.23$, 2) $0.50{\pm}0.02$, 3) $10.00{\pm}0.11$, 4) $2.37{\pm}0.47$ mR/week로 주당 최대 누설선량 허용치(<100 mR/week)이하였다. 하지만 측정 최대 누설선량을 기록한 M병원의 조정실 내 종사자 출입문을 실험적 방법으로 계산한 결과 $118.31{\pm}17.72$ mR/week(>100 mR/week)로 나타났다. 조정실 지면으로부터 3 m 이상의 높이에서의 누설선량은 조정실내부에 영향을 끼쳤다(p<0.05). 따라서, 누설선량의 피해를 줄이기 위해, 주당 최대 누설선량 산출 방법에 대한 개선과, 조정실 차폐벽의 차폐체를 3 m 이상으로 할 것을 제안 한다.

Background: We investigated the current characteristics of a thin-film Ag electrode on a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) diamond. The CVD diamond is widely recognized as a radiation detection material because of its high tolerance against high radiation, stable response to various dose rates, and good sensitivity. Additionally, thin-film Ag has been widely used as an electrode with high electrical conductivity. Materials and Methods: Considering these properties, the thin-film Ag electrode was deposited onto CVD diamonds with varied deposition thicknesses (${\fallingdotseq}50/98/152/257nm$); subsequently, the surface thickness, surface roughness, leakage current, and photo-current were characterized. Results and Discussion: The leakage current was found to be very low, and the photo-current output signal was observed as stable for a deposited film thickness of 98 nm; at this thickness, a uniform and constant surface roughness of the deposited thin-film Ag electrode were obtained. Conclusion: We found that a CVD diamond radiation detector with a thin-film Ag electrode deposition thickness close to 100 nm exhibited minimal leakage current and yielded a highly stable output signal.

Purpose: To compare the leakage and scattered radiation from hand-held dental X-ray unit with radiation from fixed dental X-ray unit. Materials and Methods: For evaluation we used one hand-held dental X-ray unit and Oramatic 558 (Trophy Radiologie, France), a fixed dental X-ray unit. Doses were measured with Unfors Multi-O-Meter 512L at the right and left hand levels of X-ray tube head part for the scattered and leakage radiation when human skull DXTTR III was exposed to both dental X-ray units. And for the leakage radiation only, doses were measured at the immediately right, left, superior and posterior side of the tube head part when air was exposed. Exposure parameters of handheld dental X-ray unit were 70 kVp, 3 mA, 0.1 second, and of fixed X-ray unit 70 kVp, 8 mA, 0.45 second. Results: The mean dose at the hand level when human skull DXTTR III was exposed with portable X-ray unit $6.39{\mu}Gy$, and the mean dose with fixed X-ray unit $3.03{\mu}Gy$ (p<0.001). The mean dose at the immediate side of the tube head part when air was exposed with portable X-ray unit was $2.97{\mu}Gy$ and with fixed X-ray unit the mean dose was $0.68{\mu}Gy$ (p<0.01). Conclusions: The leakage and scattered radiation from hand-held dental radiography was greater than from fixed dental radiography.

The objective of this study was to conduct a radiation shielding analysis for the facility equipped with radiation generator. The analysis was carried out in two aspects. First, from the aspect of the effect caused by primary and leakage radiation. Second, effect of scattered radiation was evaluated by applying a simple calculation method based on a scattering rate concept since effect of scattered radiation is significantly important at maze entrance of the radiation facility. The calculated results obtained using the simple method were compared to the results calculated using Geant4 code and the measured values. The results calculated by the suggested method indicate that slight error exists in a radiation shielding analysis done at the maze entrance comparing to other two results, while the results evaluated at the outside of the maze entrance door are relatively consistent with other values.

We aim to evaluate safety of radiation by measuring leakage dose and patient(phantom) incident dose of ZEN-PX II dental portable equipment developed by G company. Measurement for leakage dose of equipment is conducted on the top, at the bottom, on the left, on the right and at the back. Dose measurement incident on the subject with the area dosimeter when using the phantom and measurement the leakage dose of equipment when using the phantom are evaluated. Comparing the right with the highest leakage dose as a 0 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm and 100 cm dose measurement at the measurement height of 100 cm, 64.2 uR was reduced to 47.3 uR in the senser mode 0.32sec. Even in film mode it was measured at 414.4 uR and about 27% lower at 162.6 uR. As the result of this study, when the irradiation time is 2 sec the right side dose is 290.5 uR and sensor mode is 0.32 sec the right side dose is 64.2 uR.

이동건강 검진차량에서 검진을 받는 환자나 종사자들에 대한 피폭선량이 증가하고 있으나 차량 외부의 누설방사선량에 대한 조사는 아직도 미비하다 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서 실험을 통한 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 누설선량이 가장 많이 발생하는 곳은 출입문에서는 우측으로 $1.14{\pm}1.75mR/h$, X선 발생기가 근접한 측면에서는 상부로 $0.65{\pm}1.25mR/h$, X선 발생기와 떨어진 측면에서는 하부로 $0.91{\pm}1.25mR/h$, 검출기가 인접한 후면에서는 상부가 $96.98{\pm}158.88mR/h$으로 다양한 위치에서 누설선량이 나타났다. 측정 위치별로는 검출기가 인접한 후면에서 $67.48{\pm}97.03mR/h$으로 누설선량이 가장 높았다. 진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규정에는 주당 최대누설선량이 모두 만족하였지만 후면에서의 누설선량은 시간당으로 표시될 때는 무시 못 할 누설선량이 측정되었다. 따라서 이동건강검진차량에서 외부의 누설선량은 우리가 간과해서 아니 되며 관심을 가지고 방사선 방어시설의 방어벽 누설선량 기준을 다시 평가하는 기회가 필요하며, 이동건강검진차량을 이용한 X선 촬영이 증가함에 따라 시간당 선량으로 적절한 기준을 정하기 위한 방안과 노력이 요구된다고 하겠다.

이 연구의 목적은 방사선 발생 장치에 의한 환자나 작업 종사자들의 피폭과 사용시설에 대한 방어 상태를 조사하는데 있다. 수도권 대학병원의 엑스선 발생장치들을 대상으로 관전압 80 kVp, 관전류 200 mA, 1 sec의 최대 조사조건하에서 제어실출입문, 제어실감시창, 촬영실출입문, 인접주위 등에서 측정하였다. 주당누설선량은 제어실 출입문에서 0.11 mR/week, 제어실 감시창에서 0.15 mR/week, 촬영실 출입문에서 0.12 mR/week, 인접 주위에서 0.06 mR/week로 측정되었다. 그리고 주당평균누설선량은 0.11 mR/week 이었다. 구해진 주당평균누설선량은 기준치 100 mR/week 이하로 나타났으나 누설선량은 주기적인 측정으로 관리가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
