초록

개인의 피폭선량 측정에 사용되는 유리선량계 (Glass Dosimeter; GD)와 선량측정용 Piranha 반도체 선량계를 이용하여 진단방사선영역에서 사용하는 저에너지 X-선 영역에서 관전류량을 변화시켜 (5mAs, 10mAs, 16mAs, 20mAs, 25mAs, 32mAs의 저에너지 방사선) 측정하여 선량에 따른 선형성과 재현성, 그리고 지연시간에 따른 재현성을 평가하였다. 방사선량 측정은 다기능 QA 측정기 (RTI Electronic, Sweden)인 Piranha 657의 external detector로 측정하였다. 측정 조건은 80 kVp, SSD 100 cm로 조사영역은 $10cm{\times}10cm$으로 하였으며 유리선량계에 방사선을 조사하였다. 24개의 유리선량계들은 6 개의 그룹 (5mAs, 10mAs, 16mAs, 20mAs, 25mAs, 32mAs)로 나누고 측정을 하였다. 본 연구는 저 에너지 영역에서 관전류를 변화시켜 선형성 및 재현성을 측정한 결과이며, 유리선량계의 선량 특성에서 앞선 연구의 관전압 변화에 따른 특성과 같이 저 에너지 영역에서도 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was evaluated the linearity and reproducibility according to dose, and reproducibility according to delay time by changing tube current amount (5 mAs, 10 mAs, 16 mAs, 20 mAs, 25 mAs, 32 mAs respectively, which are low energy radiations) using Glass Dosimeter (GD) and piranha semiconductor dosimeter which are used for measuring exposure dose. Measurements of radiation dose were performed using external detector of piranha 657 which is multi-function QA device (RTI Electronic, Sweden). Conditions of measurement were 80 kVp, SSD 100 cm and exposure region is $10cm{\times}10cm$. Glass dosimeter was exposed to radiation. Twenty-four glass dosimeters were divided into six groups (5 mAs, 10 mAs, 16 mAs, 20 mAs, 25 mAs, 32 mAs respectively), then measured. This study was resulted by measuring the linearity and reproducibility according to change of tube current in low energy field. In dose characteristic of GD, this study could be useful as previous study with regard to dose characteristic according to change of tube voltage in low energy field.
