The characteristics of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen (LM-6, Grenex-8) as compared with $CaWO_4$ intensifying screen had been studied utilizing several common x-ray films, and found the following results. 1. Compared with the conventional CaWO4 intensifying screen, the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen was found to be more sensitive over to 1.26-3.47 times. So the radiation exposure could be reduced to 1/1.26 -1/3.47. 2. Sharpness as well as the film speed were both increased. So the motion blurring and geometrical unsharpness could be decreased. 3. In spite of that the film speed was increased, photographic contrast was kept up. Therefore, the more ideal film of greater latitude could be obtained. 4. The effects of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen would be much increased as using with orthochromatic x-ray films.

Author made a experiment on the exposure dose with various intensifying screens in taking chest roentgenogram and obtained the results as follows; 1. Special speed type was the most sensitive intensifying screen, the r(gamma) value of this screen was distributed from 2.6 to 2.9. 2. The resolution activity of intensifying screen was inversely proportional to its sensitivity. If, the sensitivity and detail of the fine detail speed type intensifying screen at 100 KV were 100, those of the special speed type were 549 and 54.44 respectively. 3. If the exposure dose of the fine detail type intensifying screen was 1.0 at 60 KV, that of the special speed type intensifying screen was 0.1 at 80KV, and the skin dose of patient was as follows; it was 64.8 mRad at 60KV in mid speed type, 8.1 mRad at 80KV in super high speed type, and 7.2 mRad at 80KV in special speed type intensifying screen respectively.

In chest x-ray radiography, intensifying screen is used to the exposed dose of patients. Recently, newer materials-rere earth elements-are used in intensifying screen. Authors studied the aspects of chest x-ray radiogram and obtained the results that rare earth element intensifying screen did not harm in detail and could reduce the exposed dose of patient by 1/24 and below.

This report is study about difference of H-D curve in regular film and ortho type film, and obtained results as follows : 1. In the blue-color emission intensifying screen, ortho type films and in the green-color emission intensifying screens, regular type are decreased in their gradient. 2. When joint use of regular type film and ortho type film, the gradient difference not seen in blue color screen. 3. The gradient difference seen clearly in G4, KM screens(green color emission intensifying). Especially, in part of high film density, the gradient difference are great. So we have to right use of screen and film because not matched used of theare the sensitivity and gradient are decrease.

본 연구에서는 엑스선 증감지와 광센서, 마이크로컨트롤러(MCU)를 이용하여 휴대와 이동이 용이한 교육용 방사선검출기를 제안하였다. 광센서와 증감지로 이루어진 검출부와 마이크로컨트롤부로 간단하게 구성되어 제작이 쉽고 소형화 및 휴대형으로 적합하게 제작되었다. 검출기의 성능 확인을 위해 전압을 50에서 100 kVp까지 변경하며 검출시스템과 흡수선량계를 이용하여 방사선을 측정하였다. 관전류량은 100 mAs, SDD는 100 cm로 고정하였고 각 관전압에서 10회 반복 측정하였다. 측정값을 이용하여 검출기의 응답과 선형성을 확인하였다. 검출기와 흡수선량계의 측정결과 비교에서 높은 상관성(r:0.998, p<.001)을 보임을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 본 연구에서 제안된 증감지와 마이크로컨트롤러 기반의 검출기의 사용가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 휴대형 방사선검출시스템이 소형, 저가형, 휴대형 시스템으로 교육용으로 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Doppler broadening spectrometer for positron annihilation experiment(DBPAS) has been used to characterize nano size defect structures in materials. DBPAS measures the concentration, spatial distribution, and size of open volume defects in the rare-earth intensifying screen materials. The screens were exposed by X-ray varying the exposed doses from 3, 6, 9, and 12 Gy with 6 W and 15 MV respectively and also irradiated by 37 MeV proton beams ranging from 0 to $10^{12}ptls$. The S parameter values increased as the exposed time and the energies increased, which indicated the defects were generated more. The S parameters of the samples with X-rays varied from 0.5098 to 0.5108, on the other hand, as proton beams varied from 0.4804 to 0.4821.

본 연구에서 사용한 증감지 구성 물질은 $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$이고 Spectrometer를 이용하여 관전압 증가에 따른 형광특성을 분석하였다. 관전압에 증가에 따른 방출 형광을 측정한 결과 청색, 녹색, 적색에 해당하는 형광을 확인하였고, 그 중에서 녹색 형광에 해당하는 $^5D_4-^7F_5$의 형광이 가장 강하게 나타났다. 또한 50 kVp와 120 kVp의 형광량을 비교한 결과 50 kVp의 형광량은 120 kVp의 9.56%에 해당하는 형광만 방출하는 것으로 나타났다. $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$ 증감지를 이용한 X-선 촬영에서 100 kVp 이상의 높은 관전압을 사용 할 경우 필름에 도달하는 형광량과 강도가 급격히 증가하므로 적정농도의 영상을 획득하기위한 주의가 요구되어진다.

In order to obtain effective utilization of intensifying screens[$CaWO_4(W),\;Gd_2O_2S:Tb(Gd)$, BaFCl : Eu(Ba)] over the diagnostic radiology range, we calculated absorption coefficient (${\mu}$), absorption efficiency (${\eta}_{\alpha}$) and absorbed energy ratio(R) and analyzed effects of these properties on X-ray image, finally concluded as below. Regardless of presence of contrast media, absorption coefficient of Gd the highest and decreased with increase of thickness and kVp. Absorption efficiency related with absorbance of fluorescent materials showed the highest value for the Gd, and discontinuous points exhibited at around $80{\sim}90\;kVp$ and $90{\sim}100kVp$ for the Ba and the Gd, respectively. Furthermore, the absorbed energy ratio(R) correspond to contrast of reflection showed the largest value for the W in the absence of contrast media, and for the Gd in the case of the existence of it, and the ratio was decreased with increasing of incident energy. Owing to these properties, we assumed that it was more preferable to use rare earth type intensifying screen for the radiography using in the C.M.(I, Ba), while in the general radiography, $CaWO_4$ intensifying screen was applicable.

Author has studied for finding the method of decreasing the radiation dose and increasing diagnostic range in chest X-ray radiography. The study for the added filter thickness from half value layer to 1/8 value layer by decreasing curve and research for the exposure factors, decreasing ratio of radiation dose, ratio of scatter ray and image quality in chest X-ray radiography. The results were as follows: 1. By using the rare earth intensifying screen system at 120 Kvp, the sensitivity is increased by times and the exposure ratio is decreased 0.22 by comparison with the $CaWO_{4}$ intensifying screen system at 80 Kvp. 2. By using Al added filter of 1/8 value layer, the scatter ray is increased more than no filter, But the scatter ray is decreased more in $G_{4}/RxOG$ intensifying system than in LT-II/Rx intensifying system. 3. At 120 Kvp, the image quality value of $G_{4}/RxOG$ system is increased more than LT-II/Rx system compared with slight decreasing image quality value at 80 Kvp. Concluded that by using the added filter could decrease the radiation dose by 1/3 and obtain effective image quality with the added filter at high voltage hard exposure.

In clinical fields, single screen-film system will be generalized according to high speed and high image qualify of intensifying screen film system in future. In single screen-film system, for imaging the best image, we must choice good film according to speed and gredient. Double screen-film system will be replaced single screen film system in general radiography. Author has thought that single screen film system will be developed new diagnosis area according to X-Ray films.
