이 연구의 목적은 CT 모의치료장치에서 발생된 X-선 빔의 유효에너지 계산식을 유도하는데 있다. 90, 120, 140 kVp X-선 빔 하에서, AAPM CT 성능 팬텀의 CT수 교정 삽입부는 CT 모의치료장치로 5번 스캔하였다. 폴리에틸렌, 폴리스틸렌, 물, 나일론, 폴리카보네이트, 그리고 아크릴의 CT수는 각각의 CT 슬라이스 영상에 대하여 측정하였다. 단일 관전압 하에서 측정된 CT수 평균값과 미국표준기술연구소의 자료로부터 계산된 각각의 광자에너지에 대응하는 선감쇠계수들을 선형정합하였다. 얻어진 상관계수들 중 최대값을 갖는 광자에너지를 유효에너지를 결정하였다. 이와 같은 방법으로, 각각의 관전압에서 생성된 X-선 빔의 유효에너지를 결정하였다. 결정된 유효에너지(y)들와 관전압(x)들을 선형정합하여 유효에너지 계산식으로서 y=0.33026x+30.80263을 유도하였다.

In the radiation protection application, the metal-polymer composites have been developed for their radiation shielding properties. In this research, the elastomer composites doped by 10 ㎛ and 100nm size of lead, bismuth and tungsten particles as filler with 30 and 60 wt percentages were prepared. To survey the shielding properties of the polymer composites using gamma-ray emitted from 152Eu and 137Cs sources, the gamma flux was measured by using NaI(Tl) detector, then the linear attenuation coefficient was calculated. Also, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCs) method was used. The results showed a direct relationship between the linear attenuation coefficients of the absorbent and filler ratio. Also, the decrease in the particle size of the shielding material in each weight percentage improved the radiation shielding features. When the dimension of the particles was in the order of nano-size, more attenuation was achieved. At low energies used for medical diagnostic X-ray applications due to the predominance of the photoelectric effect, bismuth and lead were suitable selection as filler.

초음파를 이용한 추진기관의 비파괴검사는 X-ray 검사에 비하여 경제성이 우수하고, X-ray 검사시 취약한 dis-bond, damage 등의 결함 검출이 우수한 편이다. 그리고 전용시설의 필요없이 현장에서 실시간으로 검사가 가능하며 방사선 작업에 비하여 안전한 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 고체 추진제에 대한 초음파 특성을 분석하고, 추진제/라이너 미접착에 대한 내측과 외측 검사 방법 및 추진제 damage에 의한 미세 크랙검출에 대하여 실험 및 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 추진제에서의 초음파 감쇠는 $6\sim8db/cm$로 비교적 큰 감쇠를 보였으며 추진제/라이너 미접착에 대한 내 외측 검사에 있어서도 제한된 조건이지만 검출 가능성을 보였다. 그리고 damage에 의한 추진제 미세 크랙도 초음파의 감쇠특성을 이용하여 검출 가능함을 보였다.

The current study investigated Saudi Arabian oil fly ash impacts on Egyptian clay bricks' structural and radiation shielding properties. To produce the required bricks, crushed clay minerals from the Hafafit area were mixed with 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 % wt.% Saudi Arabian oil fly ash and pressed at a pressure rate of 68.55 MPa. Identification of the minerals in the chosen clay was achieved via X-ray diffraction. Additionally, the material's morphology and chemical composition were determined through scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray. The fabricated bricks' density was reduced by 36.3 % through increasing the concentration of fly ash from 0 to 40 wt%. Then, the fly ash addition's influence on the fabricated clay bricks' γ-ray shielding properties was investigated by Monte Carlo simulation, which found a reduction in the fabricated bricks' linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) by 41.2, 36.0, 33.8, and 33.8 % at the 0.059, 0.103, 0.662, and 1.252 MeV γ-ray energies, respectively. The LAC reduction caused an increase in the fabricated bricks' half-value thickness, transmission factor, and the equivalent thickness of the lead. Moreover, the thicker fabricated sample thicknesses were found to have high γ-ray shielding capacity and can thus be used in radiation shielding applications.

Attenuated end-diastolic and end-systolic left ventricular counts which obtained from cardiac gated blood pool scan were corrected using experimentally calculated attenuation coefficient $(\mu=0.13/cm)$ and depth of center of left ventricle. This method was confirmed to be correct experimentally using phantom balloon. To compare the accuracy of attenuated and attenuation-corrected left ventricular volume measurement, authors studied 10 patients with ischemic heart disease who underwent both gated blood pool scan and X-ray contrast ventriculography within a week. The attenuated and attenuation-corrected left ventricular volume measured by count method correlated with contrast ventriculographic volumes; however, attenuation corrected measurement was correlated more closely.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully synthesized by solid-solid reaction method. The structural properties of ZnO and MgO NPs were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). XRD results indicated a formation of pure MgO and ZnO NPs. The mean diameter values of the agglomerated particles were around to be 70 and 50 nm for MgO and ZnO NPs, respectively using SEM analysis. Further, a wide-range of nuclear radiation shielding investigation for gamma-ray and fast neutrons have been studied for Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) samples. FLUKA and Microshield codes have been employed for the determination of mass attenuation coefficients (μ_m) and transmission factors (TF) of Magnesium oxide (MgO) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) samples. The calculated values for mass attenuation coefficients (μ_m) were utilized to determine other vital shielding properties against gamma-ray radiation. Moreover, the results showed that Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles with the lowest diameter value as 50 nm had a satisfactory capacity in nuclear radiation shielding.

국내에서 산출되는 각종 광물골재를 사용하여 방사선 차폐용 중차폐 콩크리트를 제조하고 감마선에 대한 차폐 효과를 실험한 결과 최적하다고 판단된 자철광 중차폐 콩크리트를 대상으로 60Co 감마선의 Broad beam을 사용하여 방사선 차폐 효과를 측정하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 실험적으로 차폐체내의 방사선의 감쇄곡선으로부터 차폐 체 두께의 변화에 따르는 방사선 투과율과의 상호관계에 관한 수식을 다음과 같이 유도해냈다. I (x) = I (ο) exp(-$\mu$X) exp(1.03$\times$$10^{-1}$X-3.38$\times$$10^{-3}$X$^2$＋5.29$\times$$10^{-5}$X$^3$) X< 20 cm 때, I (x) =I (ο) exp(-$\mu$X) exp(4.66$\times$$10^{-2}$ X＋2.12$\times$$10^{-1}$) X＞20 cm 때. 이와같이 얻은 결과식에서 오른쪽 첫번째항은 최초 감마선의 감쇄를 표시하고 그 다음항은 차폐체 내에서의 감마선 재생계수를 나타낸다. 이 실험에 첨가하여 차폐체의 실제 설계에 입각한 입방형 자철광 구조체 (두께 8 cm, 내부공간 40$\times$40$\times$40cm)에 대한 차폐효과를 측정한 결과 평판 차폐체를 사용할 때 보다 투과 방사선이 증가됨을 알았다.

A Digital X-ray imaging system using Compton backscattering has been developed to obtain a cross-sectional profile and mass loss of corroded lap-splices of aging aircraft from density variation. A slit-type camera was designed to focus on a small scattering volume inside the material, from which the backscattered photons are collected by a collimated scintillator detector for interpretation of material characteristics. The cross section of the lap-joint is scanned by moving the scattering volume through the thickness direction of the specimen. The mass loss of each layer has been estimated from a Compton backscatter A-scan to obtain the thickness of each layer including the aluminum sheet, the corrosion layer and the sealant. Quantitative information such as location and width of planar corrosion in the lap splices of fuselages is obtained by deconvolution using a nonlinear least-square error minimization method(BFGS method): A simple reconstruction model is also introduced to overcome distortion of the Compton backscatter data due to attenuation effects attributed to beam hardening and quantum noise.

Recently, particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis system was installed at the 2MV ion acceleration system in Korea institute science and technology (KIST). This installation is for complement to low atomic resolution of heavy atoms at Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) system. For quantitative analysis, a mass calibration of the PIXE set-up has been done with thin film standards and. The GUPIX software package has been used to process the PIXE spectra and the results are compared with the values from RBS system. Therefore, the instrumental constant H (solid angle and correction factor) is determined relying completely on the GUPIX data base (cross-sections, fluorescence and Coster-Kronig probabilities, stopping powers and attenuation coefficients) for a large set of elements. These H values can be used in future analysis.
