Technegas를 사용한 검사는 단순 확산 누적을 통해 폐 영상을 이미지화하기 때문에 검사를 마친 후에 검사실이 오염될 수 있다. 따라서 방사선 작업 종사자와 검사를 기다리는 환자는 technegas 흡입으로 인한 내부 피폭의 영향을 받게 된다. 이에 중력환기 전후의 시간경과에 따른 공간선량율 분포를 비교, 분석함에 따라 방사선사, 의료진, 대기 환자의 피폭선량 저감화 방법을 모색하고자 한다. 중력환기 전후 환자의 호흡기 위치에서 거리별, 각도별로 공간선량율을 10분 동안 측정하고 평균값, 표준 편차 및 감소율을 계산하였다. 실험 결과, 중력 환기 전후 감소율은 최고 95.31%였고 가장 높은 감소율은 1 ~ 3분 사이에서 나타났다. 중력환기를 통해서 방사선 작업종사자, 대기환자, 환자 보호자 및 간호사의 피폭선량을 감소시킬 수 있다. 결론적으로 중력환기를 통한 피폭선량 감소 결과는 방호 최적화를 이루는 역할을 할 것이며 ICRP 103에서 권고한 의료 피폭 저감화에 부합된다.

To determine the factors affecting the external radiation dose rates of patients undergoing PET-MRI examinations and to assess the trends of these differences, we measured the changes in the dose rates of $^{18}F$-FDG during a set period of time for each body region. Consistent with theoretical predictions, the dose rate decreased over time in patients undergoing PET-MRI examinations. Furthermore, immediately after the $^{18}F$-FDG injection, the dose rate in the chest region was the highest, followed by the abdominal region, the head region, and the foot region. The dose rate decreased drastically as time passed, by 2.47-fold, from $339.23{\pm}74.70mSv\;h^{-1}$ ($6.73{\pm}5.79$ min) at the time point immediately after the $^{18}F$-FDG injection to $102.71{\pm}26.17mSv\;h^{-1}$ ($136.11{\pm}25.64$ min) after the examination. In the foot region, there were no significant changes over time, from $32.05{\pm}20.23mSv\;h^{-1}$ ($6.73{\pm}5.79$ min) at the time point immediately after the $^{18}F$-FDG injection, to $23.89{\pm}9.14mSv\;h^{-1}$ ($136.11{\pm}25.64$ min) after the examination. The dose rate is dependent on the individual characteristics of the patient, and differed depending on the body region and time point. However, the dose rates were higher in patients who had a lower body weight, shorter stature, fewer urinations, lower fluid intake, and history of diabetes mellitus. To decrease radiation exposure, it is difficult or impossible to change factors inherent to the patient, such as sex, age, height, body weight, obesity, and history of diabetes mellitus. However, factors which can be changed, such as the $^{18}F$-FDG dose, fasting time, fluid intake, number of urinations, and contrast agent dose can be controlled to minimize the external radiation exposure of the patient.

The average glandular dose (AGD) is determined by the breast entrance skin exposure, x-ray tube target material, beam quality (half-value layer), breast thickness, and breast composition. Almost breast cancer always arises in glandular breast tissue. As a result, the average radiation absorbed dose to glandular tissue is the preferred measure of the radiation risk associated with mammography. If the normalized average glandular dose is known, the average glandular dose can be computed from the product of the normalized average glandular dose and breast entrance skin exposure. In this study, AGD was calculated by the breast thickness and various x-ray energy (HVL) in 50% glandular 50% adipose breast by Mo.-Rh. assembly. AGD is 84 mrad in compressed 5 cm breast. These results show that as increasing the breast thickness, dose also increases. But as increasing the x-ray tube voltage, dose decreases because of high penetrating ratio through the object. But high tube voltage is reducing the subject contrast. From this result, we have to consider the trade-off between subject contrast of image and dose to the patient and choose proper x-ray energy range.

의료기관 핵의학과에서는 진단과 치료를 목적으로 방사성동위원소를 사용하므로 누구나 방사선피폭에 노출 될 위험이 있다. 일반적으로 방사선 작업종사자에 대한 피폭관리는 비교적 철저히 이루어지고 있으나 환자보호자 및 일반인에 대한 피폭관리는 소홀한 경향이 있다. 특히 방사성의약품을 투여한 환자들은 잠재적 선원이 되어 작업종사자외에 환자보호자 및 일반인에 대해 방사선피폭을 초래하므로 이로 인한 방사선피폭을 최소한으로 감소시킬 수 있도록 관리되어야 한다. 따라서 핵의학과 방사선피폭에 대한 관리실태를 파악하기 위하여 전국에 있는 대학병원 중 7개소에 대해 조사한 결과 환자이송요원, 환경미화원 등 수시출입자에 대해서 2 개소의 의료기관에서는 피폭선량평가 및 관리와 안전교육이 없었다. 또한 환자와 동행하는 보호자에 대한 통제와 관리는 7 개소 모두 허술하였는데 대기실에서 검사직전 환자로부터 흡수될 수 있는 평균 방사선량률은 25.60 ${\mu}$Sv/h로서 일반인에 대해 연간 선량한도를 초과하지 아니하는 범위 내에서 허용되는 20 ${\mu}$Sv/h를 초과하였다. 따라서 비록 아주 적은 피폭선량이 예상된다고 하더라도 수시출입자에 대한 철저한 피폭선량의 관리와 교육이 요구되며, 환자보호자 등을 보호하기 위해 환자와 가까이 하는 것을 통제하거나 환자를 격리할 필요가 있었다.

유방촬영 시 디지털 유방촬영 후 디지털 유방단층촬영을 한 60명 환자에 대한 촬영 조건을 분석하였다. 그 결과 디지털 유방단층촬영을 한 환자에 대한 피폭선량이 많음을 알았고 그 대책법으로 ACR 팬텀으로 촬영조건을 자동노출조건이 아닌 수동노출조건으로 변경하여 영상의 식별능과 환자피폭선량을 실험하였다. 그 결과 CC(Cranio-Caudal)촬영인 경우 촬영조건 중 kVp는 디지털 유방단층촬영 시 디지털 유방촬영보다 2kVp 높게 설정되어 있었다. 또 mAs는 디지털 유방단층촬영이 55.2% 감소되어 약 60mAs를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 이때 환자의 평균유선선량(AGD)은 디지털 유방촬영에서는 1.65mGy, 디지털 유방단층촬영에서는 1.87mGy로 디지털 유방단층촬영에서 0.22mGy 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다. 팬텀을 이용한 실험에서 kVp는 자동노출조건인 29kVp로 고정하고, mAs을 수동조건으로 감소시키면서 실험한 결과 mAs를 80% 줄여도 영상의 식별능 평가 기준인 10점 이상으로 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이때 평균유선선량(AGD)도 0.66mGy로 줄일 수 있었다. 디지털 유방촬영시행 후 디지털 유방단층촬영 시 자동노출조건을 그대로 적용하기 보다는 수동노출조건으로 mAs조건을 감소 시켰을 때 영상의 진단적 가치를 유지하면서 환자의 피폭선량경감에 효과가 있었다. 최근 디지털 유방단층촬영의 유용성이 높아지고 있는 만큼 본 연구에서 수동촬영조건의 가이드라인을 제시함으로서 진단적 가치를 높임과 동시에 환자피폭선량을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study aims to provide basic data for elderly health insurance policy and medical radiation safety management by analyzing the general radiography usage and exposure dose of the elderly in Korea. The effective dose for each general radiography was calculated using the ALARA-GR program for 260 general radiography codes selected from 'National Health Insurance Care Benefit Cost'. The usage of general radiography was analyzed in the 2016 elderly patient data of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service, and the effective dose for each general radiography was applied. The general radiography usage and exposure dose per person aged 65 years and over was 6.47 cases and 0.56 mSv. Females showed higher value than males as 7.15 cases and 0.66 mSv(p<.001). By age, those between 75 and 79 showed the highest number as 6.97 cases and 0.62 mSv(p<.001). Those who were supported by Medical Aid showed higher value than those who were insured by National Health Insurance as 8.82 cases and 0.76 mSv(p<.001). In addition, the ratio by radiography was in the order of Chest 20.85%, Knee Joint 15.58%, and L-spine 14.67%, and the exposure dose was L-spine 29.40%, Chest 15.82%, Abdomen 7.97%, and Entire Spine 7.20%. General radiography, which is widely used due to the high frequency of diseases in the elderly population should be taken into consideration when establishing health insurance policies. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the general radiography with high exposure dose is performed as a routine examination without considering medical necessity.
