The measurements of X-ray and Gamma-ray Dose Rate have been successfully made by measuring the short circuit current of the Silicon P-N Junction Diode being irradiated. The short circuit current flows when a silicon P-N Junction Diode is irradiated by X-ray of Gammaray radiations due to photovoltaic effect. A brief analysis is given in order to verify the proportionality of a short circuit current to the Dose Rate. Using this method, measurements of X-ray Dose Rate were carried out in the range of 0.05-1600 r/m successfully. The calibration was made by comparing with Victoreen condenser r-meter. Some advantages in this Dose Rate meter over a condenser r-meter were found. One can measure a continous variation of X-ray Dose Rate with this rate meter at the control console of X-ray device.

This study was measured the radiation-induced current - X-ray dose, dose rate, X-ray quality, time, temperature, electric field characteristics and the dependence of gap length in insulating oil under of D.C. Voltage before, during and after X-ray irradiation. The obtained results can be summarized as following. 1. The radiation - induced current is more the dependence of X-ray quality (tube voltage) than quantity (tube current), the dependence of quantity is appeared at the high than low X-.ay tube voltage. 2. The dependence of dose rate is appeared at the more dose rate, and ${\triangle}\;=\;0.64{\sim}0.74$. 3. The higher temperature of insulating oil and X-ray tube voltage (X-ray quality) is increased, at the low electric field, the more radiation-induced current. 4. $G_{eq}-G_{o}(={\triangle}G)$ is increased at the low than high temperature, high than low X-ray quality. 5.

배양된 췌장베타세포와 신경세포를 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum), 11.1 mM glucose의 normal 조건과 1% FBS, 30 mM glucose의 hyperglycemia 조건으로 배양하고, 저 LET X-선을 0.5 Gy/hr의 선량률로 총 선량이 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5 Gy가 되도록 저 LET 방사선을 조사한 후 MTT assay로 생존율을 측정하고 비교하였다. 분화된 췌장베타세포에 방사선을 조사하지 않았을 때는 normal 조건에 비해 hyperglycemia 조건의 생존율이 경미한 감소를 보였다. 그러나 X선의 총 선량이 점차 누적됨에 따라 normal 조건에서 생존율이 조금씩 감소하는 것에 비해 hyperglycemia 조건에서는 급격히 감소하여 시너지 효과를 나타냈다. 미분화된 신경세포에서는 방사선을 조사하지 않은 때도 normal 조건에 비해 hyperglycemia 조건의 생존율이 뚜렷하게 감소하였다. X선의 총 선량이 점차 누적됨에 따라 normal 과 hyperglycemia 조건 모두에서 비교적 급격한 세포사멸이 나타났지만 그 생존율의 감소비율이 거의 평행하게 진행되어 시너지 효과를 보이지 않았다.

By using the buildup characteristics of the radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter(RPLGD), it is aimed to help the measurement of the accurate dose by measuring the radiation dose according to the time of the glass element. Five glass elements were arranged on the table and the source to image receptor distance(SID) was set to 100 cm for the build-up radiation dose measurement of the fluorescent glass dosimeter glass element(GD-352M). Radiation doses and saturation rates were measured over time according to irradiation time, with the tube voltage (30, 60, 90 kVp) and tube current (50, 100 mAs) Repeatability test was repeated ten times to measure the coefficient of variation. The radiation dose increased from 0.182 mGy to 12.902 mGy and the saturation rate increased from 58.3% with increasing exposure condition and time. The coefficient of variation of the glass elements of the fluorescent glass dosimeter was ranged from 0.2 to 0.77 according to the X - ray exposure conditions. X - ray exposure showed that the radiation dose and saturation rate were increased with buildup characteristics, and degeneration of glass elements was not observed. The reproducibility of the variation coefficient of the radiation generator was included within the error range and the reproducibility of the radiation dose was excellent.

We have presented with the "A study on overexposure rate according to over-density in chest X-ray radiography(I)" last year. In this report, We could calculate the entrance skin dose from chest X-ray film density the formula $I_0=Ix/e^{-{\mu}x}{\times}mG$, (mG is Bucky factor) was used to deliver the skin dose. At that time, There was two problems that the Bucky factor from maker was not equal to field experience and the field size influenced on the Attenuation Rate. The experiment of Bucky factor was done from film method and retried the Attenuation Rate of Acryle phantom according to Good & Poor geometry. As the results, The Bucky factor from maker higher than in this experiments $30{\sim}40%$. The Attenuation Rate in good geometric condition brings about a little alteration compare with poor geometric condition. In the field experiment, we could get the chest image with very low entrance skin radiation dose $29.3{\mu}Sv$, especially with air gap methode, the entrance skin dose was detected $10{\mu}Sv$.

While considering the photon attenuation coefficient (${\mu}$) and its related parameters for photons shielding, it is necessary to account for its transmitted and reflected photons energy spectra and dose contribution. Monte Carlo simulation was used to study the efficiency of clay ($1.99g\;cm^{-3}$) as a shielding material below 150 keV photon. Am-241 gamma source and an X-ray of 150 kVp were calculated. The calculated value of ${\mu}$ for Am-241 is higher within 5.61% compared to theoretical value for a single-energy photon. The calculated half-value layer (HVL) is 0.9335 cm, which is lower than that of ordinary concrete for X-ray of 150 kVp. A thickness of 2 cm clay was adequate to attenuate 90% and 85% of the incident photons from Am-241 and X-ray of 150 kVp, respectively. The same thickness of 2 cm could shield the gamma source dose rate of Am-241 (1 MBq) down to $0.0528{\mu}Sv/hr$. For X-ray of 150 kVp, photons below 60 keV were significantly decreased with 2 cm clay and a dose rate reduction by ~80%. The contribution of reflected photons and dose from the clay is negligible for both sources.

의료방사선의 관리에서 가장 중요한 사항은 진료의 적정성을 확보하면서 방사선위해를 최소화하는 것이다. 국제원자력기구는 진단방사선 분야의 선량 감소 방법에 대한 지침서를 만들어 환자피폭선량을 측정하여 각 국가에 사용하도록 권고하고 있다. 또한 국내에서도 우리나라의 실정에 맞게 각 촬영마다 환자 피폭 선량값을 연구하여 진단참고준위를 제시하였다.환자가 질병 때문에 방사선 진료를 받는 것은 방사선 때문에 일어날 수 있는 위해보다 그것으로 얻어지는 이익이 크기 때문이다. 병실 이동검사와 같이 자신의 질병과 무관하게 방사선에 노출되는 환자 및 보호자들의 피폭을 줄이기 위해서는 환자, 방사선사, 의사 및 의료기관의 노력이 가장 중요하다.이에 본 연구에서는 개선방안의 일환으로 MG로 병실의 이동 검사에 대한 문제점을 제시하고 이 문제점을 근거로 하여 산란선으로 예상되는 공간선량률을 분석하였다. MG에 자체 개발한 방어벽을 설치하여 방어벽 설치 전후의 공간선량률을 측정하여 그 감소율을 분석하였다. 최종적으로 이 자료들을 종합하여 MG에 방어벽을 부착하여 방사선사의 병실이동에 대한 부담감의 최소화, 병실 이동검사로 인한 방사선사, 환자 및 보호자를 방사선 노출로부터 보호하고, 검사로 인한 주위 환자 및 보호자의 불편을 최소화하는데 의의가 있다. 이와 같은 개선안에 대해 보다 효율적인 시행을 위하여 MG에 대한 새로운 법 제도가 마련되면, 향후 예상되는 비용, 인력, 고객만족도 및 더욱 더 안정적인 피폭감소방안이 정착될 것이라 사료된다.

This experimental study is carried out one of the General Hospital in Kyungbok providence. Abdomen Phantom being located Anterior-posterior(AP) position on portable bed, and the portable X-ray generating device was placed the phantom at $-90^{\circ}$ direction. The experiment were set 65 kVp, 10 mAs, $10{\times}10\;cm^2$, 100 cm(FOD) for the measurement. Digital proportional counting tube survey meter was used for measuring the space scatter dose. Measurement points of horizontal distribution was set up at $30^{\circ}$ interval by increasing 50 cm radius of upside, downside, left and right. Vertical distribution of measurement points were set up for the vertical plane with a radius of at $30^{\circ}$ intervals with 50cm increments. It is concluded that longer distance from the soure of X-ray significantly decrease radiation dose to the patient and use of the radiation protection device should be applied in clinical practice to reduce dose to the patient.

The obtained results are summarized as following. 1. The X-ray tube leakage dose rate of the experiment generator at the 1 m from focus was measured maximum 85 mR/hr, minimum 20 mR/hr, therefore, this values was appeared below the KS rules, 2. The free space scatter dose become to larger at the primary X-ray beam around area, and lower at the back ward X-ray tube. The maximum values were 3,812 mR/hr at the front Lt 1 m $45^{\circ}$ point, minimum 117 mR/hr at the back ward 1 m $180^{\circ}C$ point. 3. As the more tube voltage and field size increase, the more free space scatter dose contribution percentage become to increase, as to 90 kV from 70 kV, increase to 12 %, to 110 kV from 90 kV, increase to 18 %, and then, become to 11 % at the $10{\times}10\;cm$ and 87 % at the $35{\times}35\;cm$. 4. The 89 % of the total producted scatter ray occured from acryl phantom, at the X-ray tube housing 6 %, at the front side back wall 5 %. 5. The free space scatter dose contribution percentage at the one point build up 80 % from the phanton direction, 14 % from the X-ray tube and collimator direction, 2.2 % from the front wall, 1.8 % from the side wall, 1.7 % the back wall.
