Abstract

This study was to estimate the radiation dose associated with 64-slice multidetector CT(MDCT) in clinical practice and quantify the potential cancer risk associated with these examinations. Lifetime attributable risks(LAR) were estimated with models developed in the national Academies' Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation VII report. Mean effective dose were 1.48mSv in Brain axial scan, 7.66mSv in chest routine contrast, 12.17mSv in coronary angiogram, 24.52mSv in Dynamic abdomen scan. LAR estimates for brain routine varied from 1 in 7463 for man to 1 in 4926 for women. In chest routine with contrast, LAR varied from 1 in 1449 for men to 1 in 952. LAR of Abdomen dynamic CT varied from 1 in 453 for men to 1 in 298 for women. So, 64-slice MDCT scan is associated with non-negligible LAR of cancer. Doses can be reduced by careful attention to scanning protocol.

본 연구는 임상에서 시행되고 있는 64 절편 다행검출 CT(MDCT)의 방사선량에 대해 알아보고 이 선량으로 인한 암 발생의 잠재적 위험(LAR)을 정량화하고자 하였다. CT 검사의 선량길이곱과 유효선량을 측정하였고, 이로 인한 암 발생 귀속위험은 미국 전리방사선의 생물학적효과 위원회 7차보고서를 이용하였다. 결과에서 두부 CT의 유효선량은 1.48mSv, 흉부 CT(조영제 포함)의 유효선량은 7.66mSv였으며, 복부 역동적 CT는 24.52mSv였다. 두부 CT의 LAR은 남성 7463명 중 1명, 여성 4926명 중 1명이었고, 흉부 CT(조영제포함)의 LAR은 남성 1449명 중 1명, 여성 952명 중 1명이었으며, 복부 역동적 CT는 남성 453명 중 1명, 여성 298명 중 1명이었다. 따라서 64 절편 MDCT 검사는 암발생위험과 무시할 수 없는 관련성이 있었고, 선량을 줄이기 위해 프로토콜 등을 조정하는 등의 세심한 노력을 기울여야 한다.
