Abstract

During the lateral x-ray testing of lumbar, in order to obtain the optimal image for diagnosis and to minimize the exposure dose, a glass dosimeter and spatial dose measuring meter was used to measure and evaluate the exposure dose and spatial dose distribution of each organs. The exposure dose of the organs have increased as they were closer to the X-ray tube and when the radiation field was completely opened, the exposure dose was increased. In addition, scattered rays have increased as the distance got closer to the subject and with the distance of more than 200cm, 95% of scattered rays was reduced. Such results can anticipate the exposure dose of patients during the lumbar x-ray test in the future and it can be proposed as a data for determining the testing methods and expected to be widely used as an important basic data for reducing the medical exposure dose.

요추 측면 X선 검사 시 피폭선량을 최소화 하고 진단에 최적의 영상을 얻기 위하여 유리선량계와 공간선량 측정계를 이용하여 장기별 피폭선량과 공간선량분포를 측정 평가 하였다. X선관과 가까울수록 장기의 피폭선량이 증가하였으며 조사야를 완전히 열었을 때 피폭선량이 증가되었다. 또한 피사체와 거리가 가까울수록 산란선이 증가하였으며 200 cm 이상 거리를 두면 95% 이상의 산란선이 감소되었다. 이 결과는 향후 요추 X선 검사 시 환자의 피폭선량을 예측하고 검사 방법을 결정하는데 자료로 제시되어 의료피폭선량을 감소 하는데 중요한 기초자료로 많은 활용이 있을 것으로 기대된다.
