Abstract

방사선피폭에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 X선 검사시에 환자에게 조사되는 피폭선량을 정확히 알고 있다는 것은 환자의 불안을 해소하고 또 방사선사나 의사가 피폭선량 경감의식을 향상시키는 데 중요하지만, 임상에서 측정기를 보유하고 있는 시설은 극소수에 불과하다. 본 연구에서는 bit system 및 NDD-M법의 특징을 살려서 우리나라에 사용되고 있는 진단용 X선장치의 출력선량을 직접 측정하여 도표화 하고, X선 출력선량을 아는 경우 또는 모르는 경우 모두에서 적절히 적용할 수 있게 두 가지 방법을 제시하여 실측선량과 비교 실험을 하였다. 그 결과 bit system 및 NDD-M법보다 정확도가 우수한 결과를 나타내어 임상에서 환자가 받는 선량을 더욱 쉽게 알 수 있게 됨으로 방사선관련 종사자들의 의료피폭에 대한 관심이 더욱 높아지고 의료선량감소에 한층 더 노력하는 계기가 될 것으로 사료된다. This interest in radiation exposure makes increasing doctor's awareness and knowledge of radiation dose in patients during X-ray test important in reducing patient's uneasiness. However, very few facilities are equipped with measurement instruments. Therefore, an intensive study to find out patient dose using computational method has been initiated. This study used special features of the bit system and NDD-M and directly measured the output dose of diagnostic X-ray instruments used in Korea to create tables. Two different methods were found to be adequate when applied to cases when X-ray outputs were both known and unknown, and comparative experiments with real measurement doses were carried out. Presented methods were found to provide more accurate results compared to the bit system and NDD-M. Therefore, patient dose during clinical trials were found to be more easily acceptable to medical personnel in the radiation field in terms of radiation exposure and reduction of medical X ray dose.
