This study was conducted to find ways to improve people's perceptions to prevent and detect breast cancer. Health belief model(HBM) was used to examine the relationship between. risk perception of breast cancer, and benefit perception, and information seeking. In addition, the role of autonomous motives was included in the model. The results shows that the more people perceived cancer as dangerous, or perceived cancer screeing as beneficial, the more likely they seek relavant health information. Also, high autonomous motives showed positive effects on info seeking. Information seeking behaviors also had a positive impact on health screening intentions.

CT scan is reported to have a high risk of cancer due to a relatively high dose among medical radiological examinations. In particular, exposure to radiation to the breast, which is sensitive to radiation, is inevitable during a chest CT scan for female patient. In this study, the dose reduction effect of wearing a compression band during chest CT scans in women was evaluated, and the lifetime attributable risk due to the effective dose exposed during the CT scan was estimated. As a result, when the compression band was used, the effective tube current decreased as the outer perimeter of the chest became smaller, and it was analyzed that the CT dose index and effective dose were also reduced. In addition, the lifetime attributable risk by chest CT scan was found to reduce the cancer risk by 3.2 per 100,000 for all cancers, 0.2 per 100,000 for solid cancer, and 0.8 per 100,000 for breast cancer, based on women in their 30s when using a compression band. It is judged that the risk of cancer can be reduced through the use of appropriate scan parameters and dose optimization measures such as compression bands for future CT examinations.
