Abstract

For the purpose of quality assurance (QA) of the blood irradiator, QA programs for daily, monthly, and yearly were developed. For daily tests, simple items for basically operating the machine are recommended. For monthly and yearly tests, the measurement of dose to assure the dose delivery system are performed by a dosimetry devices (Glass dosimeter jig) developed in this study. The QA program is practical for clinical environment.

혈액조사기의 정기적 정도관리를 위하여 일일, 월간 및 년간점검 항목을 개발하였다. 일일점검은 육안으로 기본적 작동을 점검하고, 월간과 년간점검은 자체 제작한 기구(유리선량계 지그)를 사용하여 조사 콘테이너에 대한 선량평가를 수행하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 도출한 항목들은 임상적 차원에서 실용적이라고 평가한다.
