  • 전자빔원으로 탄소나노튜브에 기초를 두고 있는 고휘도 마이크로빔 X선원용 타첫이 설계되었다. X-선원은 다음과 같은 제원을 따른다. $1\times10^{11} phs/s.mm^2.mrad^2$. 고휘도, 5 mm의 빔의 크기, $20\~40keV$ 평균 X-선 에너지. 제원을 만족시키기 위해서 구성, 물질, 타겟의 두께와 필요한 빔전류와 같은 타켓의 설계 변수들은 MCNPX code를 통해서 최적화되었다. 설계 변수들은 투과형 타겟 구조를 위해 X-선원의 스펙트럼과 세기의 분포의 계산으로부터 결정되었다 진공압력과 국소화된 열의 누적을 견디기 위한 투과형 타겟 구조를 위해서 구조적인 안정성과 온도 분포도 또한 고려되었다. 타겟 물질은 몰리보덴으로 선택되었고 최적화된 두께는 2mm로서 150mm 두께의 베릴륨이 붙여져 있다 부가적으로 투과형 타겟의 최대 온도가 안정적인 작동의 한계 내에서 유지될 수 있다는 것을 계산을 통하여 알게 되었다.

  • Intense quasi-monochromatic x-ray irradiation from the linear plasma target is described. The plasma x-ray generator employs a high-voltage power supply, a low-impedance coaxial transmission line, a high-voltage condenser with a capacity of about 200 nF, a turbo-molecular pump, a thyristor pulse generator as a trigger device, and a flash x-ray tube. The high-voltage main condenser is charged up to 55 kV by the power supply, and the electric charges in the condenser are discharged to the tube after triggering the cathode electrode. The x-ray tube is of a demountable triode that is connected to the turbo molecular pump with a pressure of approximately 1 mPa. As electron flows from the cathode electrode are roughly converged to the molybdenum target by the electric field in the tube, the weakly ionized plasma, which consists of metal ions and electrons, forms by the target evaporating. In the present work, the peak tube voltage was almost equal to the initial charging voltage of the main condenser, and the peak current was about 20 kA with a charging voltage of 55 kV. When the charging voltage was increased, the linear plasma x-ray source grew, and the characteristic x-ray intensities of K-series lines increased. The quite sharp lines such as hard x-ray lasers were clearly observed. The quasi-monochromatic radiography was performed by a new film-less computed radiography system.

  • 엑스선형광분석은 비파괴적으로 시료에 포함된 원소와 농도를 분석할 수 있는 기법으로 과학 및 산업 분야에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 다양한 물질을 포함한 혼합물 또는 화합물 분석의 정밀도 향상을 위해 10 keV 근방의 저에너지와 20 keV 근방의 에너지 영역에 높은 강도 분포를 갖는 엑스선관이 요구된다. 두 에너지 영역에서 높은 강도 분포를 갖는 스펙트럼을 얻기 위하여 9.65 keV의 특성엑스선을 가지는 텅스텐과 17.48 keV의 몰리브덴 두 물질을 적층한 구조의 표적을 가지는 투과형 엑스선관을 몬테카를로 전산모사를 통해 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. W-Mo 구조의 표적을 통해 10 keV와 20 keV 근방의 강한 강도를 갖는 특성엑스선을 얻었다. 또한 4 ㎛ 두께의 Mo-W multilayers 구조의 표적을 통해 최적의 강도 분포를 갖는 스펙트럼을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 다양한 표적 물질을 선택 조합하고 두께 최적화를 통해 원하는 에너지 대역에서 높은 강도 분포를 갖는 스펙트럼을 얻는 것이 가능하다.

  • We investigated the thermal characteristics of rotating anode X-ray tube to develop it for digital radiography by using computer simulation. The target which is the area of the anode struck by electrons is the most important component to get a long life of X-ray tube. So we analyze the thermal characteristics of the target and rotor assembly according to their emissivity by using ANSYS transient thermal simulation and then compare with the measured data of the target temperature operating in aging process of X-ray tube. Especially, keeping the lead coated layer as the role of metal lubricant on ball bearing enables to prevent the noise in rotating anode. The simulation result showed that its temperature was under the melting point of the lead in X-ray tube for digital radiography with 1.2 mm large focal spot 0.6 mm small focal spot and 150 kV tube voltage. We also investigated the relationship between the diameter of the anode shaft and the temperature of the anode and rotor assembly. It has been confirmed that the smaller anode shaft could be good for the rotor thermal characteristics.

  • 1-GW Iodine photodissociation Laser (λ=1.315${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)is focused to generate the continuum x-ray radiation at titanium(z=22)target. A piced of aluminum(360 )-mylar(8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) film is used to isolate the soft X-ray radiation emitted. Convex-xurved mica crystal spectrometer is used to obtain the soft x-ray spectra from the laser titanium target plasma and the slope of continum X-ray spectra are found to show two different different electron effective temperaturres, 0.11keV and 7.1KeV. We compare the two temperature result with the foil absorption method.

  • Two different commercial brand X-ray films are used for examining possible differences caused by different target distances when the patients are examined with highenergy X-rays. 6MV- and 15MV X-rays are tested at four different target distances. The films on which the radiation amounts are gradually increased using H$_2$O phantoms are developed by an automatic developing machine to be analysed in the image densities. Characteristic curves have similar shapes for different conditions but for the 130cm target distance. ${\gamma}$ values and average image densities per the illuminated radiation are used to analyse the differences.

  • 엑스선의 에너지가 높으면 엑스선이 피사체(object)를 통과하여 영상의 대조도를 떨어뜨리고 엑스선의 에너지가 낮으면 영상의 대조도는 증가시키지만 엑스선이 피사체에 흡수되어 환자의 피폭선량을 증가시킨다. 그러므로 적정한 엑스선 에너지는 영상의 질과 피폭선량에 영향을 미치는 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 양극물질을 사용하는 유방촬영 장치의 도입에 따라 방사선 선질이 다양해진 유방촬영장치의 영상품질관리와 환자선량관리을 위하여 유방촬영장치의 타겟 물질에 따른 에너지스펙트럼을 시뮬레이션하고 팬텀 영상의 화질을 비교하였다.

  • If the same weight is used in parallel opposed 6 and 10 MV x-ray beams, the lowest dose is achieved at SAD. Therefore, dose homogeneity in the target volume is decreased when SAD is taken at center of target volume than center of phantom or patient. With Standard deviation of ${\pm}6\%$ that repuesented the dose homogeneity in tarhet volume, we studied the optimized beam weights at which hot spot dose was least in parallel opposed beams. The optimized beam weights that maximally decrease the hot spot dose, wer 1.29, 1.19, 2.71, 3.50, and 4.70 in 6 MV x-ray and 1.25, 1.53, 1.90, 2.36, 3.01, and 3.7 in 10 MV x-ray, reapectively, when center of target volume was changed to 2,4,6,8,10, and 12cm from center plan of phantom along the centeral axis of beams.

  • A miniature X-ray tube based on a carbon-nanotube electron emitter has been employed for the application to a dental radiography. The miniature X-ray tube has an outer diameter of 7 mm and a length of 47 mm. The miniature X-ray tube is operated in a negative high-voltage mode in which the X-ray target is electrically grounded. In addition, X-rays are generated only to the teeth directions using a collimator while X-rays generated to other directions are shielded. Hence, the X-ray tube can be safely inserted into a human mouth. Using the intra-oral X-ray tube, a dental radiography is demonstrated where the positions of an X-ray source and a sensor are reversed compared with a conventional dental radiography system. X-ray images of five neighboring teeth are obtained and, furthermore, both left and right molar images are achieved by a single X-ray shot of the miniature X-ray tube.
