  • 총 5대를 대상으로 한 진단용X선발생장치(DR)는 IEC 60601-2-54 표준규격에서 제시한 방사선출력의 재현성 시험에서 4대가 적합으로 나타났으며, 다만 1대의 X선 장치에서 C Group의 시험 설정인 진단용X선장치의 최고 관전압의 50%와 관전류 시간 곱(mAs)이 $1{\mu}Gy$에서 $5{\mu}Gy$ 사이의 인가출력량의 조합으로 측정한 항목에서 부적합으로 나타났다. 이에 따라 방사선량을 정량화하기 위한 표준으로 IEC 60601-2-54 표준규격에서 제시한 방사선출력의 재현성이 진단용 X선 영상장치 성능관리에 중요한 평가 요소임을 인식해야 한다.

  • The diagnostic multi-leaf collimator preventing unnecessary dose from entering into patients during the diagnostic examination was made in this study. The movement of the entire 50 leaves was embodied with the group of 25 ones thereof configured in a pair facing each other on the left and right of the median line. Dimensions of the length, width, and height of each shielding leaf were $5{\times}0.5{\times}0.5cm^3$ resulting in the maximum boost field of $10{\times}10cm^2$. The material of multi-leaf collimator had the excellence on the machinability with the use of the SKD-11 alloy tool steel having the high wear resistance against frequent movement, and it was devised to control both-side's shielding leaves by moving 2 motors unlike existing remedial multi-leaf collimator that use as many motors as the number of 50 shielding leaves. Thereafter, the transmission dose of leaves, cross-leaf leakage dose, and inter-leaf leakage dose were measured by the developed multi-leaf collimator attached to X-ray equipment. An ionization chamber was used to detect doses there from, and the comparative analysis was carried out by means of the radiographic film that was easy to detect the dose leakage in between each leaf. Results obtained from the test conducted in comparative analysis yielded approximately 98%, 96%, and 94% of shielding efficiency realized at each level of energy of 80kV, 100kV, and 120kV it was confirmed there was no dose leakage resulted from the varied level of irradiation energy. Thus the multi-leaf collimator to be developed based on this study is thought that it could fully reduce the unnecessary dose to patients in the diagnostic test and the shielding efficiency thereof is expected to be increasing if it is made in a miniaturized form with a way of increasing the thickness of each leaf later for an extended application to general diagnostic purposes.

  • 전산화단층촬영장치(computed tomography, CT)을 이용한 검사의 경우 방사선량의 분포가 일반 X선 장치와 차이가 있고 검사로 인한 방사선 피폭이 많은 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 검사 결과의 정확성에 대한 신뢰도가 높아 그 이용도는 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 상황을 고려하여 기존에 발표된 자료를 바탕으로 CT장치, CT검사에서 방사선량, 진단참고준위 그리고 검사 시 방사선량 감소 방안에 대해 알아보았다.

  • 진단용방사선발생장치를 사용함에 있어서 선량데이터를 기록하는 이유는 의료진 및 환자의 피폭선량을 기록하고 관리하기 위함이다. 진단용방사선발생장치를 사용함에 있어서 방사선량의 차이를 검증하고 위험성과 차폐체 착용의 유무의 상황에서 피폭선량에 대한 측정과 분석을 통해 사용자의 피폭선량 경감에 대한 인식을 알리고자 하였다. 에스레이튜브와 II튜브에 따라 구분하여 장비를 한국 C-arm 2대, 독일 C-arm 2대장비를 대상으로 각 장비별 선량분석결과 한국 FPD type C-arm 이 가장 높은 선량값이 측정되었고, 독일 I.I type C-arm, 독일 FPD type C-arm, 한국, I.I type C-arm 순서로 피폭선량값이 측정되었다. 차폐체 유무에 따른 피폭선량 분석결과 일반적인 대기상태에 인체팬텀을 놓고 측정결과 산란선에 의해 피폭선량이 약 2배 증가하였으나 차폐체(0.5mm/납앞치마)를 착용하니 약 5배의 피폭선량 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 피폭선량과 차폐체를 통해 피폭선량의 관리가 중요한 역할을 하며 방사선 피폭을 줄이는 방법을 유추할 수 있다. 또한, 장비마다 출력되는 피폭선량이 다른 특성을 갖고 있음으로 차폐체를 유무를 선별하는데 선량정보로 제공을 할 것으로 기대 한다.

  • High voltage transformer of Diagnostic X-ray system has been contributed to wiping out disease to get a good quality images from patients. High voltage transformer of diagnostic X-ray system has been usefully used for diagnostic purpose but if high voltage transformer performances are deteriorated, low quality image will be archived. In this case, operator has to exposure to get a more good quality images. In this case, unexpected radiation could be exposed to patient and it is very harmful to the patient. And I would like to design and make equipment to checkable high voltage transformer performance after that I wish to test and study what it is most influences in radiation output quality.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual conditions of radiation safety supervision in animal clinics using quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) of diagnostic X-ray units. The surveys for QA/QC, equipment condition, and safety supervision were carried out in 18 animal clinics randomly. The QA/QC included reproducibility of dose exposure, kVp, mAs, collimator accuracy test, collimator luminance test, X-ray view box luminance test, grounding system equipment test and external leakage current test. As a result, 44.44% of reproducibility of dose exposure was proper, 81. 25% of kVp test was good, and 100% of mAs test was appropriate. Also, 66.66% of collimator accuracy test was proper, 61.11% of collimator luminance test was good, 53.13% of X-ray view box luminance test was suitable. In addition, only 5.55% of grounding system equipment and ground resistance was proper, 63.64% of external leakage current test was appropriate in grounding system equipment test.

  • 본 연구에서는 IPEM(The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine) Report 78의 진단용 엑스선 발생장치에서 방출되는 엑스선 스펙트럼 데이터를 이용하여 의료 환경에서 사용되는 주요 엑스선 방호장비의 차폐율을 계산하고, 방사선 방호분야 적용가능성을 알아보았다. 진단용 엑스선 방호에 이용되는 납 앞치마(0.3 mmPb), 갑상샘 차폐체(0.5 mmPb), 납 고글(0.5 mmPb), 납 유리(1.8, 2.7, 3.3 mmPb)를 대상으로 에어커마와 엑스선 총강도의 감소율을 통해 방사선 차폐율을 계산하였다. 그 결과 에어커마 감소율로 계산한 차폐율은 80 kV에서 96.31~100 %범위였고, 120 kV에서는 90.35~100%범위로 나타났다. 또한 본 계산의 결과가 실제 차폐율 측정한 선행연구결과와 잘 일치하여 IPEM Report 78의 엑스선 스펙트럼 데이터가 방사선 방호에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Diagnostic X-ray system is general and basic medical equipment to be used in mostly medical organizations, but being bombed of radioactivity is a big weak point when irradiates a X-ray to the human body so that ICRP restricted the radiation exposure tolerance of the human body. In order to reduce being bombed, the many research and development is now advanced. A lots of diagnostic X-ray machines have currently used due to the increase of occurrence efficiency of X-ray and precisely the output control by using the inverter which is a high speed switching semiconductors. For getting the confidence of the X-ray machine, the same radiation occurrence, same evaluation, and same irradiation condition are necessary when evaluates X-ray irradiation. It is the most important part for the accuracy of the test result and the patient safety. This paper has produced the high voltage occurrence system of full-wave rectification method by using the LC resonance inverter, and evaluated the irradiation reproducibility in order to use it in diagnosis of the patient.
