초록

두부 모의피폭체를 활용하여 MV X, ${\gamma}$선에서의 선량증가 효과와 금 나노입자의 크기, 물질의 농도에 대한 의존성을 평가하였다. MCNPX code를 이용하여 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 기법을 적용하였으며, 입사 에너지는 4, 6, 10, 15 MV X선, Co60 ${\gamma}$선을 사용하였다. 두부 모의피폭체 내에 종양을 묘사하고 내부에 25, 75, 125 nm 직경의 금 나노입자를 삽입하였다. 나노입자의 농도는 5, 15, 25 mg/g을 적용하였으며, 선량 증가 물질이 없을 때를 기준으로 하여 선량증가비를 산출하였다. 입사 에너지가 낮을수록, 선량증가 물질의 농도가 높을수록 높은 선량증가비를 나타내었다. 나노입자의 크기는 입사 에너지가 낮고, 물질의 농도가 높을수록 상대적으로 높은 의존성을 보였다. 금 나노입자를 이용한 선량증가 효과를 나타내는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The effect of dose enhancement was evaluated using Snyder head phantom, dependence on size of gold nanoparticle and material concentration in megavoltage X, ${\gamma}$-ray. Monte Carlo simulation using MCNPX was used for 4, 6, 10, 15 MV and Co-60 ${\gamma}$-ray. Described the tumor in Snyder head phantom, gold nanoparticle of 25, 75, 125nm diameter was inserted inside tumor. Concentration of dose enhancement material was used for 5, 15, 25 mg/g and dose enhancement factor was calculated on the basis of the no dose enhancement material. The lower incident energy and the higher concentration of material were that high dose enhancement factor is indicated. The size of gold nanoparticle had relatively high dependence on lower incident energy and higher concentration of material. It will increase dose inside the tumor, and be additional effect of use of gold nanoparticles in radiation therapy.
