Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the dose of the space to the controller located within the mammography room conducted a research on ways to the reduction exposure to the radiation workers. Results, the dose of 6.18 mGy/year was measured when there is no difference in the hilar area of the controller position, the dose of 2.35E-11 mGy/year was measured when installing the Shielding door. In addition, when the direction of the X-ray tube anode be heading this direction controller, low average level measured was 0.30 mGy/year. Based on this study, the mammography should be considered when installing the anode and cathod directions. And, by installing the shielding door, it must be able to completely separate shooting space and control room. This is the best way radiation protection method in radiation workers.

본 연구는 유방촬영실 내에서 제어기가 위치하는 공간에 대한 선량평가를 실시하여 방사선관계종사자에 대한 피폭을 저감화 할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과 제어기가 위치하는 공간에 차폐문이 없을 경우 6.18 mGy/year의 선량이 측정되었으며, 차폐문을 설치할 경우 2.35E-11 mGy/year의 선량이 측정되었다. 또한 X선관의 양극 방향이 제어기를 향하고 있을 경우, 평균 0.30 mGy/year 정도 낮게 측정되었다. 이를 바탕으로 유방촬영 장치 설치 시 양극과 음극 방향을 고려하여야 하며, 촬영공간과 제어공간을 완벽히 분리할 수 있는 차폐문을 설치하는 것이 방사선관계종사자에게 있어서 가장 좋은 방사선 방어 방법으로 판단된다.
