초록

모든 방사선 검사는 검사를 결정하고 실행하는 과정에서 정당성이 확보되어야하고 피폭선량과 영상의 화질에 대한 최적화가 이루어져야 할 뿐만 아니라 ALARA의 원칙에 따라 최소의 방사선을 사용하여 최적의 임상 정보를 얻을 수 있어야 한다. CT 검사는 방사선 검사 중에서 많은 피폭을 환자에게 조사하는 검사이다. 특히 방사선 민감도가 높은 소아 환자의 CT 검사 있어서는 특별한 주의가 필요하다. 임상에서 CT선량에 대한 정확한 이해와 정보는 환자에게 불필요한 방사선 피폭을 줄이고 안전한 검사를 제공하기 위해 절대적으로 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 여러 선행 연구의 고찰을 통하여 CT의 피폭선량에 대한 개념을 확인하고 CT장치의 선량 저감화를 위한 각 파라미터의 이해와 American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM)report 204에서 소개하고 있는 환자의 사이즈에 따른 피폭선량의 보정방법인 Size-Specific Dose Estimates(SSDE)와 XR 25의 개념을 이해하고자 한다.

Computed tomography(CT) using radiation have potential risks. All medical radiographic examinations should require the justification of medical imaging examinations and optimization of the image quality and radiation exposure. The CT examination was higher radiation dose then general radiography. Especially pediatric CT examinations need to great caution of radiation risk. Because of pediatric patient was more sensitive of radiation exposure. Therefore, physician should consider the knowledge of CT radiation exposure indicator information for reduce a needless radiation exposure. This article was aim to understanding of CT exposure indicator, size-specific dose estimates by American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) report 204, XR 25 and understanding of CT dose reduction technique.
