저병기 폐암은 정위적 체부 방사선치료 방식이 높은 효과를 나타내지만, 호흡에 의한 움직임으로 인해 정확한 선량의 조사가 쉽지 않다. 이에 본 연구는 움직이는 표적을 대상으로 영상획득 방식에 따른 체적을 분석하고, 체적 설정방식 및 호흡주기에 따른 선량을 유리선량계를 이용하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 체적 획득의 경우 4D CT가 $10.4cm^3$로 실제 체적인 $12.3cm^3$에 가장 근접한 결과를 나타냈다. 선량평가에서는 ITV가 처방선량 10, 15, 20 Gy에서 각각 10.82, 16.88, 21.90 Gy로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며, RGRT가 좀 더 높은 값을 나타내었으나 호흡주기에 따른 결과는 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 따라서 움직이는 종양의 치료 시 4D CT를 이용하여 영상을 획득 후 ITV를 설정하여 RGRT방식으로 치료하는 것이 유리할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, due to the increased use of medical radiation, the radiation exposure of radiation workers should be considered as well as medical exposure of patients. And it is recommended to close the door during radiography. however, In this study, when the door was inevitably opened for radiography, the proposed method was to install the shield as a method of reducing the exposure dose. And its efficiency was analyzed. In simple chest radiography, the measurement point was changed according to the measurement location. Dose rate were measured 10 times for each condition using a dosimeter. And the average value was derived. Using this, the change of dose according to the opening and closing of the door and the installation of the shield was analyzed. Using this, we compared and analyzed the dose change according to the door opening and closing and the installation of the shield, and significance was verified through the SPSS ver. 24. Depending on whether the door was opened or closed, 11,215.35%, 159.0%, 101.9% increased in front of the door in the consol room, behind the wall and behind the lead glass. Depending on the installing of the shield, the 49.2%, 29.6%, 19.9%, 30.6% decrease in front of the door in the examination and consol room, behind the wall and lead glass. In addition, statistical analysis was showed that there were significant differences in both the results according to whether the door was opened or closed and shielding(p<.05). Close the door during radiography. However, when the door should be opened, it was confirmed that the dose rate were reduced by installing the shield. Therefore, to optimize radiation protection, it is recommended to install shields when opening the door.

In this study the contralateral breast skin dose was decreased. It was to apply the results to the clinical study after analysis of different radiation dose amounts to contralateral breast with nonmagnetic bolus and without nonmagnetic bolus. A Rando phantom was computed tomography (CT) simulated, five treatment plans were generated: open tangents, open field in field, wedge 15, wedge 30, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan with 50.4 Gy to cover sufficient breast tissue. Contralateral breast skin dose was measured at 8 points using a glass dosimeter. The average contralateral breast dose using nonmagnetic bolus showed better excellence in decreasing the absorbed dose in the order of $168{\pm}11.1$ cGy, $131{\pm}10.2$ cGy (29%), $112{\pm}9.7$ cGy (49%), and $102{\pm}9.5$ cGy (64%) than changing the treatment plan. This study focused on decreasing the effect of scattered dose by use of a nonmagnetic bolus on the contralateral breast during radiotherapy in breast cancer patients and an intriguingly significant decrease was observed parallel to the opposed beam.

The purpose of our study was to determine the entrance surface dose and absorbed dose in ovary when using the metal speculum and plastic speculum in hysterosalpingography respectively. The examinations was performed in anthropomorphic phantom into which calibrated photoluminescence glass dosimeter were placed on symphysis pubis level surface and ovary area. We checked average fluoroscopy time and spot expose times during the hysterosalpingography. It was average fluoroscopy time 58 sec, spot expose 5 times. We divided the subjects into two different groups to used metal and plastic speculum. We measured 10 times of absorbed dose in the same condition of the anthropomorphic phantom. We compared two groups adsorbed dose on ovary with speculum material-related. The entrance surface dose on of plastic Speculum using group was average 17.23 mGy, absorbed dose on ovary was average 3.51 mGy. The entrance surface dose on ovary of metal Speculum using group was average 19.95 mGy, absorbed dose on ovary was average 4.14 mGy. Plastic speculum using group shows a decrease absorbed dose(17.9%) as compared with metal speculum using group. The method of plastic speculum using in hysterosalpingography. might provide us with lower radiation dose, especially in patients with childbearing stage.

방사선관계종사자에 대한 개인피폭선량 측정의 정확성 및 신뢰성을 확보함으로써 방사선관계종사자의 건강을 보호하고 국민보건 수준향상에 기여하기 위한 개인피폭선량 측정기관의 선량측정 품질관리 기준을 국제기준에 적합하도록 개발할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 국내 의료기관에서의 개인선량 관련법은 ANSI N13.11-1993 규정을 참조하고 있으나 미국을 비롯한 해외 여러 나라에서는 시험 범주를 줄이고 기준을 강화한 ANSI N13.11-2001을 이미 반영하여 개인피폭선량을 측정하고 있다. 제안하는 방법은 ANSI N13.11-2001을 참고하여 기준을 단순화하였고 유리선량계와 광자극선량계 같은 현재 법률에서 인정하지 않는 첨단기술을 이용하는 것을 막거나 방해할 수 있는 조치를 취하지 않으려고 하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 측정기관 품질관리기준은 개인피폭선량 성능시험기준은 관련법규개정에 참고할 수 있고, 측정기관 지도 감독에 활용할 수 있다.

In this study, the radiation dose rate was measured by time and distance and evaluated whether radiation dose rate was suitable for domestic and international discharge criteria. In addition, the radiation dose emitted from the patient was measured with a glass dosimeter to evaluate the exposure dose if the caregiver stays in the isolated ward by placing a humanoid phantom instead of the caregiver at a distance of 1 m from the patient, on the second day of treatment. After 23 hours of isolation, the radiation dose rates at a distance of 1 m were 20.54 ± 6.21 µSv/h at 2.96 GBq administration and 27.94 ± 12.33 µSv/h at 3.70 GBq administration. The radiation dose rates at a distance of 1 m were 25.90 ± 2.21 µSv/h when 2.96 GBq was administered and 34.22 ± 10.06 µSv/h when 3.70 GBq was administered after 18 hours of isolation. However, if the isolation period is short may cause unnecessary radiation exposure to the third person. The reading of the attached dosimeter from the morning of the second day of treatment until removal was 0.01 to 0.95 mSv, which is a surface dose determined by the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements. And the depth dose was 0.01 to 0.99 mSv. On the second day of treatment, even if the patient caregivers stayed in the isolation ward, the exposure dose of the patient family did not exceed the effective dose limit of 5 mSv recommended by the ICRP and NCRP.

본 연구는 현재 법령 개인선량계인 PLD와 TLD의 선량 분석을 통해 성능 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 자동판독장치를 이용해 PLD와 TLD의 적산선량을 판독 후 선량 교정 과정을 거친 두 소자의 값은 70kVp, 200mA, 0.012sec와 42kVp, 100mA, 0.012sec의 각각의 촬영조건에서 TLD는 PLD 측정 시와 통계적 차이를 나타냈다(각각 p<0.001, p<0.001). DAP와 두 소자의 측정값 차이는 70kVp, 200mA, 0.012sec 촬영조건에서 TLD는 DAP 평균값보다 $44.2mGy{\cdot}cm^2$이 낮은 값이 나타났고, PLD는 DAP 평균값에 $15.5mGy{\cdot}cm^2$이 낮은 $246.8mGy{\cdot}cm^2$으로 나타났다. 42kVp, 100mA, 0.012sec 촬영조건에서는 TLD는 DAP 평균 값의 $17.9mGy{\cdot}cm^2$이 낮은 값을 보였으며, PLD는 DAP 평균값에 $7.6mGy{\cdot}cm^2$이 낮은 $82.6mGy{\cdot}cm^2$으로 나타나 PLD가 DAP에 더 근접한 값을 보였다. 또한 PLD에 비해 TLD는 10개의 각 소자마다 측정된 선량 값에서 소자 상호간의 편차가 크게 나타났고, 1개의 소자를 반복 측정한 재현성 실험에서 PLD는 ${\pm}1%$ 이내로 TLD ${\pm}2%$ 보다 낮게 나타났다. 따라서 PLD가 TLD에 비해 선량 측정 능력면에서 더 우수한 결과가 나타났고, 진단용 방사선영역에서 방사선작업종사자의 개인피폭 관리에 PLD가 더욱 적합하고 유리함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In operation room, the use of the C-arm unit is increasing. So, the radiation dose of the person who work in operation room was even more increased than before. Thus, this study is shown the measurement of expose dose and the way for decrease of the radiation dose by using the C-arm unit. The experiment was performed with the C-arm unit and used a phantom which is similar to tissue of the human body and fluoro-glass dosimeter for dose measurement. The expose dose were measured by the tube position(over tube, under tube) of the C-arm unit, distance(50, 100$\sim$200cm), direction(I, II, III, IV), runtime(1min, 3min), wearing of the apron. The radiation dose was decreased twice and three times at under tube rather than over tube. The I direction was measured 20$\sim$30% more than the others. The biggest expose dose is 50cm from center on distance. The expose dose is decreased to far from center. In case of Wearing of the apron, the radiation dose was decreased 60$\sim$90% by the distance. But there weren't change of the radiation dose by C-arm tube position. In present, by increasing the usage of the C-arm unit, the radiation dose is inevitable. So, this study recommends us to use the under tube of the C-arm unit. Also, Wearing of the apron is required for minimum of the radiation exposure.
