Abstract

본 연구는 복합부가여과에서 높은 원자번호 물질에서 발생된 특성방사선을 제거하기 위해 사용되는 알루미늄 여과판의 효율성을 분석하고자 양자검출효율, 화질평가를 실시하였다. 구리 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm 에 알루미늄 1mm 사용 전, 후를 평가하였다. IEC 규정에 의해 선질, 양자검출효율을 실험하고 화질평가는 PSNR, MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR 정성적 평가로는 국가암검진 흉부 평가표의 해상, 대조도 평가 7문항을 이용하였다. MTF 10, 50%에서 4.6, 2.54 cycle/mm 모두 동일했고 NPS, DQE, PSNR MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR, 정성적 평가는 모두 알루미늄 미사용 시 같거나 약간 우수했다. PSNR은 30 dB이상으로 모두 의미있는 수치였고 정성적 평가에서 T-test 검정은 p>0.05였다. 알루미늄 여과판은 광자검출효율과 화질 평가에서 사용 전, 후 큰 차이가 없으므로 특성 방사선 제거를 통한 피부선량 감소를 위해 사용됨이 효율적이라고 사료된다. This study analysed the effectiveness of aluminium(Al) filter in the added compound filtration for the removal of characteristic radiation from high atomic number material by DQE and image evaluation. 1mm Al was applied to each 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm copper and befere and after use were evaluated. Beam quality and DQE were tested by IEC regulations and image quality was evaluated by PSNR, MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis was performed by 7 items for resolution and contrast from chest x-ray criteria of national cancer checkup. MTF 10 and 50% were the same by 4.6, 2.54 cycle/mm and NPS, DQE, PSNR MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis were all the same or slightly better when Al was not used. PSNR is over 30dB and all significant and at the qualitative analysis, the p-value of t-test was over 0.05. The DQE and image quality evaluation have little difference between before and after use of Al filter and it is effective to use the Al filter for the reduction of skin dose by removal of characteristic radiation.
