초록

본 논문에서는 전산화 단층검사 시 방사선 투과 물질로 방사선량을 흡수하여 피폭 선량을 감소시키는 물질로 알려진 차폐용 Bismuth(비스무스)와 CARE kV(Automated Dose-Optimized Selection of X-ray Tube Voltage)을 사용하여 유용성을 평가하였다. 방사선 감수성이 높은 기관인 수정체(안와), 갑상선, 가슴(유방), 생식기의 선량 감소 효과와 각 기관의 심부선량 차폐 효과를 평가하기 위해 Rando Phantom과 유리 선량계를 이용하여 Bismuth 사용 전 후와, CARE kV의 적용에 따른 선량 감소 효과를 비교해 보았다. 그 결과, 뇌혈관 검사 시 CARE kV을 단독 설정한 검사 방법의 선량이 가장 적었으며, CARE kV 사용여부에 따라 63%의 선량 감소 효과가 있었다. 경동맥 검사 시 CARE kV+Bismuth의 설정 방법에서 선량이 13% 증가하였다. 심혈관 검사 시 CARE kV+Bismuth의 설정 방법이 31% 선량 감소 효과가 있었다. 하지 혈관 검사 시 Bismuth 전체의 설정 방법이 가장 선량이 적게 측정되었지만, 영상 평가 기준에 부적합 하였다. CARE kV을 설정한 검사 방법과는 약 9%의 선량 감소 효과가 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to compare the reduction of the dose radioactivity by CARE kV with that of the Bismuth shielding. First, CT was performed with transparent materials, including a Bismuth shielder which is a well-known material for decreasing the dose of radiation. Moreover, we have estimated and compared the affects of the reduction of dose on eye lens, thyroid, breast and genitals. These steps aim to compare reactions with and without the application of the Rando phantom with PLD as well as with CARE kV or not. As a result, during the Brain angio scan, the dose of CARE kV set inspection test methods showed the least dose. Depending on whether we use CARE kV, which showed the effect of dose reduction by 63%. During the Carotid angio scan, the dose was increased by 13% by how to set CARE kV+Bismuth. During the Cardiac angio scan, which showed the effect of dose reduction by 31% by how to set CARE kV+Bismuth. During the Lower extremity angio scan, the dose was measured least by how to set up the whole Bismuth. Compared with CARE kV set of test methods, which showed the effect of dose reduction by 9%.
