Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the absorbed dose and to calculate the effective dose for one periapical radiography using the portable and wall type dental X-ray machines. Materials and methods: Thermoluminescent chips were placed at 25 sites throughout the layers of the head and neck of a tissue-equivalent human skull phantom. The man phantom was exposed with the portable and wall type dental X-ray machines. For one periapical radiography taken by portable dental X-ray machine, the exposure setting was 60 kVp, 2 mA and 0.2 seconds, while for one periapical radiography taken by wall type dental X-ray machine, exposure setting was 70 kVp, 8 mA and 0.074 seconds. Absorbed dose measurements were performed and equivalent doses to individual organs were summed using ICRP 103 to calculate effective dose. Results: In the upper anterior periapical radiography using portable dental X-ray machine and in the lower posterior periapical radiography using both machines, the highest absorbed dose was recorded at the mandible body. The effective dose in upper anterior periapical radiography using portable and wall type dental X-ray machines was $4{\mu}Sv$, $2{\mu}Sv$, respectively. In the lower posterior periapical radiography, the effective dose for each portable and wall type dental X-ray machines was $6{\mu}Sv$, $2{\mu}Sv$. Conclusion: It was recommended that the operator use prudently potable dental X-ray machine because that the effective dose in the periapical radiography using wall type dental X-ray machine was lower than that in the periapical radiography using portable dental X-ray machine.

연구 목적: 이 연구는 상악 전치부와 하악 구치부 치근단 방사선촬영시 이동형 구내방사선촬영기와 벽걸이 구내방사선촬영기로 촬영한 경우에서 환자의 방사선량을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 방사선량 측정은 선량 측정용 두경부 마네킨의 23부위에 열형광선량계 소자를 위치시키고 해당 치근단 방사선촬영을 하였다. 열형광선량계 판독기로 흡수선량을 구하였고 방사선 조사된 조직의 비율을 곱하여 방사선 가중선량을 구하였다. 국제방사선방호위원회에서 2007년에 공지한 조직 가중계수를 이용하여 각 방사선촬영의 유효선량을 구하였다. 결과: 환자의 흡수선량은 이동형 구내방사선촬영기로 촬영한 상악 전치부와 이동형 및 벽걸이 구내방사선촬영기로 촬영한 하악 구치부 치근단방사선촬영의 경우 하악체에서 가장 높았다. 유효선량은 상악 전치부 치근단 방사선촬영에서는 이동형 촬영기로 촬영한 경우 $4{\mu}Sv$, 벽걸이 촬영기로 촬영한 경우 $2{\mu}Sv$였고 우측 하악 구치부 치근단 방사선촬영에서는 각각 $6{\mu}Sv$, $2{\mu}Sv$였다. 결론: 벽걸이 구내방사선촬영기보다 이동형 구내방사선촬영기로 촬영한 치근단 방사선촬영에서의 유효선량이 더 많기 때문에 술자는 구내방사선촬영기에 따른 방사선 노출 정도를 충분히 인지하고 이를 사용하여야 한다.
