Abstract

Breast shooting performance management and quality control of the generator is applied to the amount of current IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 60601-2-45 tube voltage and tube current are based on standards that were proposed in the analysis of the test results were as follows. Tube voltage according to the value of the standard deviation by year of manufacture from 2001 to 2010 as a 42-3.15 showed the most significant, according to the year of manufacture by tube amperage value of the standard deviation to 6.38 in the pre-2000 showed the most significant, manufactured after 2011 the standard deviation of the devices, the PAE(Percent Average Error) was relatively low. This latest generation device was manufactured in the breast of the tube voltage and tube diagnosed shooting the correct amount of current to maintain the performance that can be seen. The results of this study as the basis for radiography diagnosed breast caused by using the device's performance and maintain quality control, so the current Food and Drug Administration "about the safety of diagnostic radiation generator rule" specified in the test cycle during three years of self-inspection radiation on a radiation generating device ensure safety and performance of the device using a coherent X-ray(constancy) by two ultimately able to keep the radiation dose to the public to reduce the expected effect is expected.

유방촬영용 방사선발생장치의 성능 관리 및 품질관리에 적용되는 관전압과 관전류량을 IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission; 국제 전기 기술위원회) 60601-2-45에서 제시한 표준을 근거로 시험하고 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 관전압에 따른 제조년도별 표준편차 값은 2001~2010 사이에서 3.15로 가장 크게 나타났고, 관전류량에 따른 제조년도별 표준편차 값은 2000년 이전에서 6.38로 가장 크게 나타났으며, 2011년 이후에 제조된 장치에서는 PAE(Percent Average Error; 백분률표준오차)의 표준편차가 비교적 적게 나타났다. 이는 최근에 제조된 유방촬영용 방사선발생장치의 관전압과 관전류량이 정확한 성능을 유지하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본 연구결과를 기초자료로 활용하여 유방촬영용 방사선발생장치의 성능 및 품질 관리를 유지하므로 현재 식품의약품안전청의 "진단용 방사선발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙"에서 규정하고 있는 3년 검사주기 동안에 자가 점검으로 방사선발생장치의 방사선에 대한 안전성 확보와 사용하는 X선 장치의 성능을 일관성(constancy) 있게 유지하도록 함으로서 궁극적으로 방사선에 대한 국민피폭선량을 줄일 수 있는 기대효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.
