Abstract

In order to reduce unnecessary exposure doses generated when mammography is performed using a mammography device, a shielding ratio analysis was performed when a self-made shielding body made of bismuth was applied to the breast opposite to the imaging site. In order to determine the scattering dose of uncompressed breasts during CC and MLO tests when the right and left are compressed, the experiment is divided into when bismuth is not shielded (Not used: NU group) and when shielded (Used: U group). Proceeded. The average dose of the NU group was 9.568μSv, and the average dose of the U group was 1.038μSv. The average measured dose before and after the use of the bismuth shield was reduced by 89.15%. The use of a bismuth shield for mammography can shield scattered radiation and keep exposure to radiation to a minimum.

유방 X선 촬영 장치를 이용한 유방 촬영을 실시할 때 발생되는 불필요한 피폭 선량을 경감시키기 위해 비스무스로 제작한 차폐체를 촬영 부위의 반대 측 유방에 적용했을 때 차폐율 분석을 실시하였다. 오른쪽, 왼쪽을 압박하였을 때 CC와 MLO 검사 시 압박되지 않는 유방의 산란 선량을 알아보기 위하여 비스무스를 차폐하지 않았을 때(Not used : NU그룹)와 차폐했을 때(Used : U그룹)로 구분하여 실험을 진행하였다. NU 그룹의 평균선량은 9.568μSv이었고, U그룹의 평균 선량은 1.038μSv이었다. 비스무스 차폐체 사용 전후의 평균 측정 선량은 89.15% 감소되었다. 유방 촬영용 비스무스 차폐체를 사용하면 산란 방사선을 차폐하여 방사선에 의한 노출을 최소한으로 유지할 수 있다.
