X-선영상의 품질과 환자의 피폭 관리를 위하여 X-선장치에서 출력되는 선량(공기 흡수선량(mGy)은 측정으로부터 자료화 하는 것이 필요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 X-선장치의 출력선량과 출력인자(Of)의 측정으로부터 출력선량을 계산할 수 있는 식을 구하는데 있다. X-선장치로부터 조사되는 X-빔의 출력선량과 출력인자는 XR멀티검출기를 사용하여 측정하였다. 결과로서, 관전류-조사시간 곱(mAs)으로 나누어진 측정된 출력선량과 설정관전압을 Allometric1 fit하여 출력선량 계산식을 얻었다. 이 식에 출력인자를 곱하여 최종 출력선량 계산식을 구하였다. 구하여진 최종 출력선량 계산식은 모든 관전압, 관전류, 조사시간, 조사야 그리고 거리에 적용하는데 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

This study examined the following: accuracy of the exposure conditions in the inverter device and three-phase device; output waveform over the exposure conditions; and average and standard deviation of the output waveform. After assessing whether the dose corresponding to the theoretical dose was presented, the following conclusions were obtained: 1. The accuracy of the tube voltage(kVp) and tube current(mA) exposure time(sec) was within the tolerable level prescribed in Korea's Safety Management Standards. In the error, Inverter device was large the tube voltage and exposure time, the three-phase device was large the tube current. 2. In terms of the output waveform of the exposure conditions and the average and standard deviation of the output waveform, the higher tube voltage and larger tube current resulted in greater standard deviation in pulsation. Moreover, the standard deviation of pulsation was shown to be greater in the inverter device than the three-phase device; there was also greater standard deviation in the inverter device considering the exposure time. 3. Regarding the exposure conditions over the output dose, all linearity showed the coefficient of variation which had an allowable limit of error within 0.05. Although the output dose ratio for the inverter device was 1.00~1.10 times no difference that of the three-phase device, there was almost no difference in dose ratio between the tube currents.

X-ray high-voltage generator is the most important part that can decide the radiation exposure dose affecting a patient or operator according to the characteristic. If decrease of X-ray radiation exposure dose and output characteristic of high-voltage generator is unstable, a patient or operator must be exposed to more radiation. This study measures and analyzes the exposure dose reproducibility and output characteristic according to a change of tube current on the various rectification methods of diagnostic X-ray equipment. It can find that quality bastardize and output is increased if voltage of X-ray tube is increased. Exposure dose reproducibility according to output of X-ray equipment is extremely excellent in inverter type, and is stable in order of following three-phase, a single-phase and condenser method. This study can find that the reply incidence of high-voltage generator is generated due to difference in rectification method, noise occurs in X-ray due to that, quality of an image is decreased due to that, and medical diagnosis can be failed due to that.

방사선의 출력선량계수는 모든 선량계획과 치료선량결정에 영향을 주게 되므로, 정확한 선량평가가 강조되고 있다. 저자들은 물흡수선량을 결정하는 선량프로토콜을 종전의 TG-21에서 TG-51로 전환하여 2007년부터 새로운 버전과 새로운 공동전리함으로 선량을 평가하기 위해 SSDL의 $N_k$를 $N_{dw}{^{Co-60}}$로 변환하여 적용하였다, 평가된 물흡수선량계수는 치료선량결정과 RPC의 선량모니터링을 통해 비교되었으며, 선량평가는 2% 이내를 보였지만 불안정성을 확인하게 되었으며, 선량평가과정을 후향적으로 모니터하였다. 점검결과 새 전리함의 교정계수가 -2.8% 낮은 것을 확인하고 PSDL의 물흡수선량교정계수를 구하여 출력선량계수를 구하였으며, 선량평가 결과 2010년부터 안정되었고 지속적으로 1% 이내의 오차를 나타내었다.

Experimental measurements of dose characteristics with pentagonal applicator at nominal energy of 4, 6, 9, 12 and 15 MeV electron beam were performed for intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in ML-15MDX linear accelerator. This paper presents the percent depth dose, surface dose, beam flatness and output factors of using the IORT applicator in different electron beam energy. The output factor showed as a 24 percent higher in IORT applicator than that of reference $10{\times}10cm^2$ applicator. The surface dose of using the IORT applicator showed 7.7 and 2.7 percent higher than that of reference field in 4 and 15 MeV electron beam, respectively. In our experiments, the variation of percent depth dose was very small but the output factor and flatnees at 0.5 cm depth have showed a large value in IORT applicator.

This paper aimed to analyse dose sensitivity to the controllable parameters of in-door radon $(^{222}Rn)$ and its decay products(Rn-D) by applying the input-output linear system theory. Physical behaviors of $^{222}Rn$ & Rn-D were analyzed in terms of $^{222}Rn$ gas generation, -migation and - infiltration to indoor environments, and the performance output-function(i.e. mean dose equivalent to Tracho-Bronchial(TB) lung region was assessed to the following ranges of the controllable parameters; a) the ventilation rate constant $({\lambda}_v)$ : $0{\sun}500[h^{-1}]$. b) the attachment rate constant$({\lambda}_a)$ : 0-500 $[h^{-1}]$. c) deposition rate constant $({\lambda}{_{d}^{u}})$: 0-50$[h^{-1}]$. A linear input-output model was reconstructed from the original models in literatures, as follows, which was modified into the matrices consisting of 111 nodal equations. a) indoor ${222}Rn$ & Rn-D Behaviour: jacobi- Porstendorfer- Bruno model. b) lung dosimerty : Jacobi-Eisfeld model. Some of the major findings, which identify the effectiveness of this model, were as follows. a) ${\lambda}_v$ is most effective, dominant controllable parameters in dose reduction, if mechanical ventilation is applied. b) ${\lambda}_v$, depending on the air particle-concentration, reduces the dose somewhat within ${\lambda}_v$<1 $h^{-1}R range. However, the dose increases conversely, ${\lambda}_v$>1 $h^{-1}R range range. c) ${\lambda}{_{d}^{4}}$ reduces the dose linearly as ${\lambda}_v$ dose. Such dose(z-axis) sentivities are shown with three-dimensional plots whoes x,y-axes are combined 2out the 3 parameter${\lambda}_v{\lambda}_s,\;{\lambda}_d^s$.

There are 4 types of equipment in diagnostic radiography. These are single phase, three phase, inverter type and condenser type X-ray generators. It is very confusing to make an adequate exposure factor and to know the usage of different type of X-ray generators. In this experiment, I explored a comparative study of outputs in 4 different type of X-ray units. I expect that this experiment could be helpful for manufacturer to make both the X-ray equipment better, In terms of Ideal exposure factors, thereby reducing the patient dose. Experimental results are as follow : 1) X-ray output The ratio of X-ray output of single, three phase and inverter type of X-ray generator was 1 : 1.6 : 2 without absorber and 1 : 2 : 2.6 with 20 mm aluminium absorber. 2) Beam quality The X-ray beam quality of single phase generator was proved to be softer than three phase and inverter type of generators by 0.4 mmAL and 0.55 mmAl HVL respectively. 3) Reproducibility Linearity of X-ray output Retroducibility of X-ray output met the regulation below CV 0.05 and linearity also met the regulation below 0.1 in 4 types of diagnostic X-ray generators. 4) The comparison of incident dose Three phase X-ray generator was 20% higher than two other X-ray generators in radiation dose to make same film density.

수술중방사선치료는 개복후 가능한 광범위하게 병소를 절제한 후 방사선에 예민한 장기는 조사면적 밖으로 밀어내고 국소재발이 높은 부위에만 전자선을 사용하여 한번만에 다량의 방사선을 조사하므로서 정상조직의 손상을 최소화하면서 국소재발을 최대로 저하시키는 방법이다. 수술중방사선치료를 실시하는 병원마다 사용하는 cone의 모양, 시행방법, 조사선량등이 모두 달라 수술중방사선치료시 사용된 cone의 선량분포도 및 치료면적의 범위, 누설선량등은 치료효과의 중요한 지표가 된다. 대장직장암의 수술중 방사선치료를 위하여 본 교실에서 제작한 IORT cone의 선량분포 특성을 비교 검토하였다.

본 연구에서는 선형가속기 출력 검출용으로 상용화된 PTW-LinaCheck의 선량 특성을 조사하고 임상적 응용에 관하여 논의하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 6, 15MV광자선 및 4, 6, 9, 12, 16 MeV전자선에 대하여 측정값의 재현성, 선형성, 선량률 의존성을 조사하였다. 또한 측정값의 오차범위를 조사하기 위하여 일일 점검 시 검출기의 셋업의 기하학적 오차에 의한 측정값의 변화를 조사하였다. 본 측정의 결과로서 일일 측정 시 셋업 오차에 의한 측정값의 변화는 재현성을 포함하여 ${\pm}0.6%$ 이내로 평가되었다. 이 때 선형성과 선량률 의존성에 의한 오차는 무시할 정도였다. 이를 통하여 LinaCheck는 선량 특성과 편리한 셋업의 관점에서 양호한 것으로 결론을 내렸다. 아울러 본 논문에서는 본 검출기를 사용한 60여 일간의 임상적 적용 사례도 제시하였다.
