The present study made a phantom for gamma ray of 140 keV radiated from $^{99m}Tc$, examined shielding effect of lead by thickness of the shielding material, and measured surface dose and depth dose by body depth. The OSL Nano Dot dosimeter was inserted at 0, 3, 15, 40, 90, and 180 mm depths of the phantom, and when there was no shield, 0.2 mm lead shield, 0.5 mm lead shield, The depth dose was measured. Experimental results show that the total cumulative dose of dosimeters with depth is highest at 366.24 uSv without shield and lowest at 94.12 uSv with 0.5 mm lead shield. The shielding effect of 0.2 mm lead shielding was about 30.18% and the shielding effect of 0.5 mm lead shielding was 74.30%, when the total sum of the accumulated doses of radiation dosimeter was 100%. The phantom depth and depth dose measurements showed the highest values at 0 mm depth for all three experiments and the dose decreases as the depth increases. This study proved that the thicker a shielding material, the highest its shielding effect is against gamma ray of 140 keV. However, it was known that shielding material can't completely shield a body from gamma ray; it reached deep part of a human body. Aside from the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) recommending depth dose by 10 mm in thickness, a plan is necessary for employees working in department of nuclear medicine where they deal with gamma ray, which is highly penetrable, to measure depth dose by body depth, which can help them manage exposed dose properly.

감마선조사장치는 세포실험, 동물실험, 혈액방사선 조사, 선량측정 실험 및 교육 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 한국원자력의 학원에서 보유하고 있는 Biobeam8000 (STS Steuerungstechnik &. Strahlenschutz GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany, Cs-137, 81.4 TBq) 감마선 조사장치는 7.5 L의 대용량과 넓은 영역에 사용이 가능한 감마선 조사장치이다. 비커 내부에 균일한 방사선조사를 위해 Cs-137 선원이 위아래 24 cm 범위를 일정한 주기로 왕복 이동하며, 기존의 다른 감마선 조사기와 같이 시료를 넣는 비커는 방사선 조사동안 360도 회전한다. 기존의 감마선 조사기와 달리 비교적 균일한 선량이 조사되는 반면에 방사선원이 이동하므로 위치에 따른 구체적인 선량정보도 필요로 하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 유리 선량계를 이용하여 Biobeam8000 감마선 조사장치의 비커 내부 선량을 측정하였고, 측정결과를 바탕으로 선량선형성과 선량재현성에 대한 평가 및 선량분포의 정보를 도출하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 실험 및 방사선 조사 시 효율적인 조사장치 사용을 위한 가이드라인을 제시하고자 한다.

This study is mainly for the reduction of exposure dose by using a heavy elements filter(Gd) in the digital radiology. They contained heavy elements filter of Gd and X-ray beam hardening filters such as Al and Cu. According to the results of experimental evaluation, X-ray property was not changed with variety of kVp in the case of the Gd filter. The surface dose and absorption dose were increased in order of Cu and Al. The contrast of image showed the higher value in order of Cu, Al and Gd. While the use of Gd has increased the numerical value of the CR image, and grayscale has decreased noise value of the DR image.

By analyzing each part of expsure condition and the status of an entrance dose which is exposed to patients, this study reached the following conclusion. Since there is no standard in setting up an exposure condition, the technology practiced in each facility varies tremendously, and the entrance dose increased especially due to the improper selection of screen and grid and the shortage of a total amount of filtration in leaching the standard filtration amount. Entrance dose was, generally, turned out to be $2{\sim}3$ times as much as that of advanced countries, and there was big difference between facilities ; approximately 52 times inlateral of cervical vertebrae, 35 times in A-P of femur, 33 times in chest A-P, and 11 times in lumber A-P. Therefore, to minimize the entrance dose of a patient with thegreatest amount of image information, acquirement of technological know-how necessary for standardization of exposure condition for each part can be an important research task.

A total of 134 patients with stage 1 of non-small cell lung cancer treated by carbon ion beam of HIMAC NIRS were investigated for control rate and delivered dose. The delivered dose of every patient was converted to biological effective dose (BED) of LQ model using fraction number, dose per fraction and alpha beta ratio which shows the maximum correlation between BED and tumor control. The BED of every patient was classified to establish a BED response curve for control. Assuming fraction numbers, dose response curves were introduced from BED response curve. The total doses to realize several control rates were obtained for the treatment of small fraction number.

This paper obtained and compared these dose values by setting and comparing the X-ray imaging conditions (tube voltage 60 kVp, 70 kVp, 80 kVp, tube current 10 mAs, 16 mAs and X-ray field size are 10 × 10 cm, 15 × 15 cm). Each dose value was measure 10 times and represented as an average value. The purpose of this experiment is to serve as a reference for the X-ray exposure of diagnostic areas according to the type of dosimeter and to help with another dose measurement. The results of the experiment showed very little difference between the glass dosimeter(GD) and semiconductor dosimeter values due to changes in tube voltage of 60, 70, 80 kVp, regardless of field sized, but for dose area product(DAP), the difference in dose value was significant according to field size.

IVR procedures are on the rise, and patient doses are on the rise. It is necessary to evaluate fluoroscopy dose in IVR procedure. Evaluate ESD on IVR equipment as a reference to DRL settings, I would like to present the direction of improvement in the ESD rate test criteria for fluoroscopy dose. The experimental method is measured with 6cc ionization chamber under the 20cm PMMA Phantom. Radiation is subject to abdominal procedure. The average dose rate of the incident surface was 21.6 ± 11.4 mGy/min. The highest dose equipment was 58.5 mGy/min, and there was no equipment exceeding the domestic standard of 100 mGy/min. However, there were five units above 50 mGy/min. To reduce fluoroscopy dose, it is recommended to reduce pulse rate, The dose increases as the image receptor ages. It is recommended to modify the domestic inspection criteria to 50 mGy/min.

This study was conducted to reduce the exposure dose to the breast and adjacent organs as the number of Mammography increased. Therefore, it has been designed a shield in lead, bismuth + tungsten, and bismuth that does not require to be equipped by the patient, in which each type of shield was compared and analyzed of radiation exposure dose to breast, thyroid, and eye. Using a mammography machine, optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter(OSLD) was inserted to bilateral breast, thyroid, and eye of a dosimetry phantom to measure dose radiated onto the phantom. Shielding device was made in different thickness of 2mm, 3mm, and 5mm and dose evaluation was performed by measuring the dose while using lead, bismuth, and bismuth + tungsten prosthesis. When each shields combined with shielding device, were compared of dose, all showed similar does reduction in the dose to breast, thyroid, and eye in both cranialcaudal and mediolateraloblique view. Based on the current study, bismuth and bismuth + tungsten can replace conventional lead shield and it is anticipated to safely and conveniently reduce radiation exposure to breast, thyroid, and eye with the shield that does not require to be equipped.
