The effects of nearby residents and the public by the residual contamination from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities should comply with the dose criteria, and whether additional remediation action is necessary from the ALARA perspective must be determined. Therefore, we analyzed the requirements of ALARA action levels and performed preliminary ALARA evaluation. The ratio of residual contamination concentration to DCGL was calculated for the basement fill and the building occupancy mode. The results showed that the additional remediation actions below DCGL are not justified. In addition, we analyzed the effect of remediation area. It was noted that the increase of the remediation area showed a positive correlation with the Conc/DCGL value in the basement fill mode. On the other hand, in the building occupancy mode, since the floor area of the building is the target of remediation and has the effect of increasing the same as the evaluation area of the building occupants, but due to the difference in the amount of increase, the Conc/DCGL showed a negative correlation. We expect the approach and method of ALARA evaluation can be utilized for concrete cost-benefit calculation during the decommissioning or at the time of remediation.

This study aimed to determine the antibacterial activity and toxicity of methanol and hexane extracts of Halymenia durvillei red seaweed which were found abundantly in Kayangan island, South Sulawesi. The antibacterial activity of the crude extract was tested against five gram-negative bacteria, namely Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Vibrio harveyi at a dose of 200 g/disk. Extract toxicity was tested on Artemia salina larvae at concentrations of 1,000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, and 31.25 ㎍/mL. The results showed that the methanol and hexane extracts of H. durvillei had the highest activity against S. thypi and A. hydrophila, respectively, with inhibition zones of 26.2 mm and 21.0 mm. On the other hand, the two extracts did not show activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa, respectively. The toxicity of the methanol extract of H. durvillei was twice as high as that of the hexane extract with half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 98.24 and 184.21 ㎍/mL, respectively. Thus, the methanol and hexane extracts of red seaweed H. durvillei have the potential as new antibacterial agents respectively against the pathogenic bacteria S. typhi and A. hydrophila, but also have the opportunity to be developed into antitumor herbal compounds.

Malus melliana (Hand.-Mazz.) Rehder (M. melliana)는 장미과에 속하는 중국 자생 식물 중 하나로 현재까지 보고된 생리활성은 전무하다. 본 연구에서는 M. melliana 에탄올 추출물(MMEE)의 항산화 및 항염증 생리활성을 DPPH 라디칼 소거능, ROS 소거능, NO 생성 저해능 및 Western blot hybridization을 통한 연관 단백질 발현분석을 통해 평가하였다. MMEE의 항산화능을 DPPH 라디칼 소거능을 통해 분석한 결과 양성 대조군으로 사용한 대표적인 항산화제인 아스코르빈산과 유사한 정도의 높은 소거활성을 보여 MMEE가 매우 강한 항산화능을 보유함을 확인하였다. 또한 RAW 264.7 세포주에서 $H_2O_2$에 의해 유도된 ROS에 대한 MMEE의 소거능을 분석한 결과, 농도의존적인 강한 ROS 소거능을 보였다. 뿐만 아니라 대표적인 항산화 효소인 HO-1 및 그 전사 인자인 Nrf2의 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 MMEE에 의해 HO-1 및 Nrf2의 발현이 증가됨을 보였다. 한편 MMEE가 LPS에 의해 유도된 NO 생성에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과 농도의존적인 NO 생성 저해능을 보였으며 이는 NO 생성 단백질인 iNOS의 발현 저해에서 기인함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해 MMEE의 높은 항산화능과 항염증 활성을 확인하였으며 향후 잠재적인 기능성 소재로서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 계속적인 연구를 통해 활성 물질의 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 진단분야에서 PET/CT는 종양학 분야뿐만 아니라 심장 신경 등 여러 가지 분야에서 널리 활용되고 있다. PET/CT의 중요성이 높아지면서 영상의 질과 관련된 재구성 방법에 대한 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이 중 Siemens사의 TrueX 재구성 방법을 phantom 실험을 통해 Iterative 2D 재구성 방법과 비교 평가하여 임상적 유용성을 높이고자 하였다. 선량에 따른 영상을 비교 평가하기 위해 contrast ratio와 FWHM을 측정하였고 Biograph 40 True Point PET/CT (Siemens, Germany)를 사용하여 실험을 실시하였다. Contrast ratio를 구하기 위해 NEMA IEC PET body phantom (Data Spectrum Corp.)을 이용하였고, FWHM을 측정하기 위해 capillary tube를 사용하였다. 모든 영상은 10분씩 획득하였고, 영상 재구성은 현재 사용하고 있는 TrueX와 기존에 사용하던 Itertive 2D 알고리즘을 사용하였다. Iterative 2D는 임상에 적합한 parameter 조건을 적용하고 TrueX는 Siemens에서 권고하는 parameter를 적용하여 실험하였다. Capillary tube를 사용하여 FWHM을 측정한 결과, TrueX가 Iterative 2D 방식보다 낮게 나왔다. 저선량일수록 FWHM의 차이가 점점 커졌다. NEMA IEC PET body phantom을 사용하여 contrast ratio를 구한 결과, TrueX가 Itertive 2D보다 좋은 양상을 보였다. 그러나 선량에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 영상 분석을 통해 TrueX가 Itertive 2D보다 contrast ratio와 spatial resolution이 높게 나타났다. 또한 TrueX를 통한 재구성 결과 저선량일수록 기존의 Iterative 2D보다 resolution은 좋은 양상을 보였고 contrast ratio는 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 즉 PET/CT에서 TrueX 재구성 기법이 환자의 피폭도 절감하고 질적으로 우수한 영상을 구현할 수 있어 임상적 이용가치가 높다고 생각된다.

This study is designed to conduct a questionnaire research into the safety control and the actual condition of radiography by working with dentistry belonging to university hospitals, dental hospitals and dental clinics for three months ranging from August, 2003 to October, 2003. The researcher came to the following conclusions. 1. The research on the current condition of possessed radiational equipment shows that 61.2 percent of the subjects had one intraoral radiation medicine and that 70.1 percent of the subjects had more than one extraoral radiation medicine and that 37.3 percent of the subjects had more than one digital radiation medicine. 2. Most of intraoral radiography (82.1%) was conducted by dental hygienists, and 7.5 percent of intraoral radiography was conducted by nurse aids. On the other hand, most of extraoral radiography (76.6%) was conducted by dental hygienists and digital radiography was conducted by dental hygienists(60.6%), dentists(32.0%) and radiographer(80.0%). 3. The less-than 1-meter-long distance between cone and the radiographer accounted for 44.8 percent. And the more-than 1.6-meter-long distance accounted for no more than 13.4 percent. The exposure time per standard film which was adjusted to each part accounted for 71.6 percent. Fixing the film on the part of healthy patients accounted for 76.1 percent. Fixing the film of elderly patients and children patients by the radiographer accounted for 43.3 percent. 4. The average daily photographing frequency of standard films stood at six to ten pieces(31.3%), and the average weekly photographing frequency of bitewing films stood at less than one piece(47.8%), and the dentistries where bitewing films were not employed accounted for 25.4%. The subjects whose average weekly photographing freqeuncy of occlusal films stood at less than a piece accounted for 59.7 percent. The dentistries whose average weekly photographing frequency of pediatric films stood at one to five pieces accounted for 41.8 percent. In case of panorama & cephalo, one to five pieces on a weekly average accounted for 36.2 percent. The dentistries whose average daily photographing frequency of digital radiation medicine stood at less than 1 piece accounted for 40.0 percent. 5. The research on the use of protective clothes shows that pregnant ·women only accounted for 31.3 percent. In regard to the use of protective clothes in case of the radiographers fixing films, the cases where no protective clothes were employed accounted for 88.1 percent. The reason was said to he attributable to the trouble related to wearing the clothes(54.2%). 6. The survey on the measurement of exposure dose shows that the cases where no measurement was made accounted for 76.1 percent. As far as the measurement methods of exposure dose was concerned, the employment of film badge accounted for 68.8 percent. The subjects turned out to conduct measurement of exposure dose every third month, which accounted for 43.8 percent. The barriers to the measurement of measurement of exposure dose were attributable to the recognition that a little amount of exposure dose need not be measured(29.9%). 7. The survey on the distinction of radiation rooms and clinic rooms reveals that the cases where radiation rooms exclusively existed accounted for 67.2 percent. 43.3 percent of the subjects turned out to have only one protective garment, and 49.3 percent of the subjects proved to conduct a periodical checkup of radiational equipment. The survey on the examination certificates of radiational generators and protective facilities indicates that 80.6 percent of the subjects had the certificates. The research also shows that the subjects with the marks indicating the radiational areas accounted for 70.1 percent. And trustees turned out to handle developing solutions and fixing solutions.

The present experiments were designed in order to clarify the differences between the long and short styled plants and the transgressive gradition in the degree of dimorphism among the three heterostylous species of the Polygonus, P. japonica, F. esculentum, and P. senticosa, based on investigations regarding the floral structure, ecological and physiological traits, the results of which are summarized as follows: (1) P. japonica, although it exhibits typical dimorphism, has undergone so high a differentiation between long and short styled that its long styled individuals behave as if they were female; and short styled individuals as if male. In long-styled individuals, filament, anther, and pollen grains show signs of degeneration, most of the pollen being abortive. On the other hand, in short styled individuals, the filament, anther, and pollen grains have attained remarkable development; the pollen grians are large and fertile. In short-plant the fertilized flowers readily drop off in every stage of their embryo development. This species has completely lost the self-fertile property, which is characteristic of the non-dimorphic Polygonum genus. Although this specsei typically exhibits the physiological characteristics of the non-dimorphic Polygonum genus. Although this specisei typically exhibits the physiological characteristics of dimorphism in controlled pollination, the short-styled individuals bear no seed in nature, thus misleading taxonomists to idenfity the short-styled plant as male. 2) The morphological feature of the flower organ of P. senticosa obviously indicates definite dimorphism. Physiologically, however, no differentiation towards dimorphism was observed, the species still retaining, both in long and short-individuals, the self-fertile property common to the Polygonum genus. Elaborate examinations revealed that regardless of the modes of pollination, both fertiization and seed setting flourish, no differentiation betwen legitimate and illegitimate unions being recognizable. This sort of physiological property has not been observed in the investigations of other heterostylous plants. It is assumed that this species is differentiated structurally into dimorphism, but not yet physiologically. In nature, however, this plant would have more opportunities to be cross-pollinated, i.e., legitimately combined, than self-pollinated because of the development of two forms of flowers. 3) In terms of heterostylism, the F. esculentum just occupies the intermediate position between P. japonica and P. senticosa structurally, ecologically, and physiologically. Doescription of some of the physiological behavior of the plant will suffice to demonstrate the above facts. While P. japonica has completely lost its self-fertile property, P. senticosa still retains it wolly. In F. esculentum 2-6% of self-fertility is the result in illegitimate combination. There occur occasionally hereditary self fertile individuals among some of the F. or 20 min. irradiation plot, when they reach any stage of the same bacterial population. In addition to this increase of total population in the plots with the more dose of UV light irradiation, it seems that the more dose of UV light irradiation is the more shortened the generation time of Azotobacter. Therefore, it is clear that variation of reproductive rate must be, mere or less, due to the genetic effects induced by UV light irradiation. On the other hand, the lag phase or logarithmic growth phase in nonirradiated culture is shortened prominently, and this must be due to the difference in bacterial number of the original inoculm. The generation time of Azotobacter is shortened by exogeneous treatment of nuclei acid derivatives, and the degree is greater in case of DNA derivatives than RNA dervatives. W.H. Price reported that the rate of ribose nucleic acid to protein in Staphylococcus muscae is proportional to the generation time: that is the faster the cell can form ribose nucleic acid, the more rapid its growth. This explains the shortening of generation time by exogeneous RNA derivatives in this work reasonably. On the other hand, it is well known that the desoxyribose nuclic acid content per cell is constant and independent of the generation time. A.D. Laren and W.N. Takahashi reported that the infectious RNA from TMV is 6 times as sensitive to inactivation by UV as it is in the form of intact virus, and that inactivation of infectious TMV involves onlu a local change on RNA chain. But, the effect of exogeneous DNA in this work suggests that irradiated living cell which cotain DNA bring about some change on DNA moleculs as well as RNA molecules. And if the mutagenic effects of UV take into consideration, it is very reasonable. Therefore, it is clear that the variation of the generation time by UV irradiation is, more or less, due to the genetic effects. Therefore, it seems that the shortness of the average lifewpan of Azotobacter by UV irradiation is resulted not only from the influence of the environmental conditions, but also from the variation of genetic factor of the individual.

목 적: 본원에서 방사선치료를 받는 두경부암 환자들에게 적용하기 위하여 도입한 구강용 고정장치 BinkieRT^TM의 구강 내 재현성을 평가하고 기존 고정장치와의 재질과 선량 비교를 통해 그 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: BinkieRT^TM를 사용하여 치료한 두경부암 환자 24명을 대상으로 혀 재현성 평가를 위해 치료계획용 CT와 치료 중 3일 간격으로 촬영된 CBCT영상에 혀를 그린 후 DSC와 중심축 이동값을 분석하였다. 또한 BinkieRT^TM를 사용하는 경우와 다른 종류의 구강 고정장치(mouth piece, paraffin wax)를 사용했을 때 선량 분포측면에서 혀에 조사되는 선량을 비교하였다. 이를 위해 상악에 위치한 종양 치료를 받는 환자들과 편측 두 경부암 환자들을 각 10명씩 선정하고 전산화 치료 계획 시 혀에 조사되는 선량을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 재질 평가 측면에서는 임상에서 혀를 치료부위 반대 방향으로 보내 고정하는 목적으로 많이 사용하는 Paraffin Wax나 Putty와의 비교를 통하여 BinkieRT^TM의 단순 물질 특성을 알아보기 위해 전산화 치료 장비로 Mass density 및 상대전자밀도 등을 확인하고, 팬텀과 이온챔버를 이용하여 Transmission Factor를 측정하였다. 결 과: BinkieRT^TM를 사용 시 DCS (n=144) 의 평균은 0.8 ± 0.07, 95% 신뢰구간은 0.79~0.82 로 나타났고, 빈도분포 분석 결과는 왜도 -0.8, 첨도 0.61 로 나타났다. 치료 기간 중 혀 중심축 이동에 대한 편차를 분석하기 위해 LR, SI, AP 방향 이동에 대한 95% 신뢰구간과 편차의 이상값인 0에 대한 일표본 t검정을 실시하였다.(n=144) t검정 결과 LR, SI 방향의 평균은 각각 0.01 ± 0.14 cm(p>.05), 0.03 ± 0.25 cm(p>.05), AP 방향은 -0.08 ± 0.25 cm(p<.05) 로 나타났다. 혀를 치료부위의 반대 방향으로 고정한 경우인 편측 귀밑샘 종양 환자들의 경우 BinkieRTTM를 사용한 환자들의 혀 평균선량은 처방선량 대비 평균 16.92% ± 3.58%, Paraffin Wax 환자 23.99% ± 10.86% 로 BinkieRT^TM 사용 시 혀 선량이 비교적 더 낮은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 반면, 혀를 아래로 누르는 목적으로 BinkieRT^TM를 사용한 환자들 중 비강암 환자의 혀 평균선량은 평균 4.4% ± 5.6%, mouth piece를 사용한 환자들은 5.9% ± 6.8% 로 나타났으나, 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p>.05). Paraffin Wax와 BinkieRT^TM, Putty의 상대전자밀도 측정 결과 각각 0.94, 0.99, 1.26, Transmission Factor는 각각 0.99, 0.98, 0.96로 나타났다. 결 론: BinkieRT^TM의 치료기간에 걸쳐 나타난 혀 DSC분석 결과는 약 0.8, 고정력은 LR, SI 방향으로의 편차가 0에 가까울 정도로 매우 우수하였으며, AP방향의 고정력 또한 평균 0.08 cm 로 우수한 편이었다. 또한 혀를 옆으로 밀어 치료부위 반대 방향으로 고정하는 편측 두경부암 환자의 경우 Paraffin wax나 Putty를 사용하는 것보다 BinkieRT^TM를 사용하는 것이 혀에 조사되는 불필요한 선량을 줄일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 실험 결과와 BinkieRT^TM의 특성을 적절히 고려하여 두경부암 치료에 적용한다면 혀의 재현성 유지 및 선량 감소에 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

Bonica defined, that reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) may develop pain, vasomotor abnoramalities, delayed functional recovery, and dystrophic changes on an affected area without major neurologic injury following trauma, surgery or one of several diseased states. This 45 year old male patient had been crushed on his left shoulder by a heavily laden rear car, during his job street cleaning about 10 years ago (1978). At first the pain was localizea only to the site of injury, but with time, it spreaded from the shoulder to the elbow and hand, with swelling. X-ray studies in the local clinic, showed no bone abnormalities of the affected site. During about 10 years following the injury, the had recieved several types of treatments such as nonsteroidal analgesics, steroid injections into the glenoidal cavity (10 times), physical therapy, some oriental herb medicines, and acupuncture over a period of 1~3 months annually. His shoulder pain and it's joint dysfunction persisted with recurrent paroxysmal aggrevation because of being mismanaged or neglected for a sufficiently long period these fore permiting progression of the sympathetic imbalance. On July 14 1988 when he visited our clinic. He complained of burning, aching and had a hyperpathic response or hyperesthesia in touch from the shoulder girdle to the elbow and the hand. Also the skin of the affected area was pale, cold, and there was much sweating of the axilla and palm, but no edema. The shoulder girdle was unable to move due to joint pain with marked weakness. We confirmed skin temperatures $5^{\circ}C$ lower than those of the unaffected axilla, elbow and palm of his hand, and his nails were slightly ridged with lateral arching and some were brittle. On X-ray findings of both the shoulder AP & lateral view, the left humerus and joint area showed diffuse post-traumatic osteoporosis and fibrous ankylozing with an osteoarthritis-like appearance. For evaluating the RSD and it's relief of pain, the left cervical sympathetic ganglion was blocked by injecting 0.5% bupivacaine 5 ml with normal saline 5 ml (=SGB). After 15 minutes following the SGB, the clinical efficacy of the block by the patients subjective score of pain intensity (=PSSPI), showed a 50% reduction of his shoulder and arm pain, which was burning in quality, and a hyperpathic response against palpation by the examiner. The skin temperatures of the axilla and palm rose to $4{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ more than those before the SGB. He felt that his left face and upper extremity became warmer than before the SGB, and that he had reduced sweating on his axilla and his palm. Horner's sign was also observed on his face and eyes. But his deep shoulder joint pain was not improved. For the control of the remaining shoulder joint pain, after 45 minutes following the SGB, a somatic sensory block was performed by injecting 0.5% bupivacaine 6 ml mixed with salmon calcitonin, $Tridol^{(R)}$, $Polydyn^{(R)}$ and triamcinolone into the fossa of the acromioclavicular joint region. The clinical effect of the somatic block showed an 80% releif of the deep joint pain by the PSSPI of the joint motion. Both blocks, as the above mentioned, were repeated a total of 28 times respectively, during 6 months, except the steroid was used just 3 times from the start. For maintaining the relieved pain level whilst using both blocks, we prescribed a low dose of clonazepam, prazocin, $Etravil^{(R)}$, codeine, etodolac micronized and antacids over 6 months. The result of the treatments were as follows; 1) The burning, aching and hyperpathic condition which accompanied with vaosmotor and pseudomotor dysfunction, disappeared gradually to almost nothing, within 3 weeks from the starting of the blocks every other day. 2) The joint disability of the affected area was improved little by little within 6 months. 3) The post-traumatic osteoporosis, fibrous ankylosis and marginal sclerosis with a narrowed joint, showed not much improvement on the X-ray findings (on April 25, 1989) 10 months later in the follow-up. 4) Now he has returned to his job as a street cleaner.

본 연구는 MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductors Fleid Effect Transistors) 선량계의 교정과 특성분석을 위해서, 자체 팬톰을 개발하고 이 팬톰을 적용하여 표준감도와 고감도 두 종류의 MOSFET선량계의 특성을 비교 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 팬톰은 직경 10cm의 반구형 모양인 팬톰과 1cm 두께 $30{\times}30cm^2$의 평판형의 팬톰으로 아크릴로 제작되었다. 평판형 팬톰은 MOSFET 선량계의 교정과 선량재현성, 선량직선성, 선량률 의존성을 측정하는데 사용하였으며 반구형 팬톰은 빔 입사각도 및 선량계 방향에 대한 MOSFET 선량계 특성을 분석하기 위해서 사용하였다. 모든 측정과정은 선형가속기(CL21EX, Varian, USA)의 6 MV 광자선, SSD 100cm, 조사면 $10{\times}10 cm^2$에서 수행하였다 선량계 교정과 선량재현성 평가에 사용된 5개의 표준감도와 고감도 MOSFET 선량계에 각각 200 cGy로 5번 반복 조사하여 $1.09{\pm}0.01{\sim}1.12{\pm}0.02,\;2.81{\pm}0.03{\sim}2.85{\pm}0.04mV/cGy$. 범위의 평균 교정계수가 결정되었고 선론쌔현성은 두 선량계 모두 2%이내로 거의 동일하였다. $5{\sim}600\;cGy$ 범위에서의 선량직선성은 두 MOSFET 선량계 모두 결정계수 $R^2=0.997$, 0.999인 좋은 선량직선성을 나타내었다. 200 cGy로 $100{\sim}600\;MU/min$ 범위의 선량률 의존성도 1%이내로 두 선량계가 동일하게 나타났다. 그러나 빔 입사각도와 선량계 방향의 의존성 평가에서, 표준감도와 고감도 MOSFET선량계는 평균적으로 빔 입사각도에 대해 13%, 10%의 변동폭과 ${\pm}4.4%$와 ${\pm}2.1%$의 표준편차가 있었으며, 선량계 방향에 대해 5%, 2%의 변동폭, ${\pm}2.1%$와 ${\pm}1.5%$의 표준편차로 두 선량계 간 현저한 차이를 나타났다 그러므로 여러 방향의 치료빔을 사용하는 방사선 치료의 선량검증을 위해서는 빔 입사각도와 선량계 방향의 의존성이 적은 고감도 MOSFET 선량계를 사용하는 것이 표준감도 WOSFET 선량계를 사용하는 것보다는 더 정확한 선량검증을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

피부는 방사선에 대한 민감도가 높기 때문에 방사선치료 시에 피부에 조사되는 선량을 정확하게 측정하여 과도한 피폭을 방지할 필요가 있다. 임상에서는 film, OSLD, TLD, glass 선량계등과 같은 선량계를 사용하여 피부선량을 측정하고 있지만, 이러한 선량계들은 피부곡면에서의 정확한 선량측정이 힘든 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 인체 굴곡에 따라서 부착이 가능한 피부선량계를 개발하고 그 반응 특성을 평가하였다. 선량계 제작에는 높은 원자번호(Z_Pb: 82, Z_O: 8)와 밀도(9.53 g/cm³)로 방사선검출 측점에서 우수한 특성을 가지고 있는 Lead oxide(PbO)와 인체 굴곡에 따라 휘어질 수 있는 silicon 바인더를 사용하여 재조하였다. 한편 PbO 물질로 제작된 선량계의 경우 산화로 인한 성능 저하가 존재하기 때문에 parylene 등을 사용하여 성능저하를 방지해오고 있었지만, 기존에 사용된 parylene은 bending에 대한 영향을 받기 때문에 silicon을 이용한 새로운 형태의 passive layer를 제작하여 피부선량계에 적용하였다. 피부선량계의 특성평가는 SEM, 재현성, 선형성을 분석하여 평가하였다. SEM 분석을 통하여 bending에 영향을 받는지 평가하였으며, 6 MeV 에너지에서의 재현성, 선형성을 평가하여 피부선량계로 적용이 가능한지 평가하였다. SEM 분석을 통하여 선량계 표면을 관찰한 결과, parylene으로 passive layer가 올라간 parylene passive layer PbO 선량계는 구부러 졌을때, 표면에 crack이 발생하였다. 그에 반해 silicon passive layer가 올라간 silicon passive layer PbO 선량계에서는 crack 이 관찰되지 않았다. 재현성 측정 결과에서 silicon passive layer PbO 선량계의 RSD는 1.47%로 평가기준 RSD 1.5%를 만족하였으며, 선형성 평가 결과에서는 R²값이 0.9998로 나타나 평가기준 R² 0.9990을 만족하였다. silicon passive layer PbO 선량계는 bending에 따른 crack이 발생하지 않으며, 재현성, 선형성에서 높은 신호안정성과 정밀성, 정확성을 보여주어 피부선량계로의 적용이 가능한 것으로 평가되었다.
