This study concerning the surface dose of eye and thyroid from panoramagraphy used thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and photoluminescent dosimeter (PLD) to take measurements at ten hospitals in the Gwangju metropolitan area. The recommendations from ICRP 60 and ICRP 73 on the allowance standard for eye are 15 mSv and for thyroid is 1 mSv. The left eye TLD and PLD values are 0.19 mSv and 0.24 mSv respectively. The right eye TLD and PLD values are 0.23 mSv and 0.25 mSv respectively. Thyroid TLD and PLD values are 0.08 mSv and 0.25 mSv respectively and did not exceed the allowance standards(p<0.001). Also comparisons are made between TLD and PLD for each organ and PLD has higher dose measurements than TLD. There are statistically significant differences in left eye measurements and thyroid measurements (p<0.01). There is no significant difference in measurements for the right eye (p>0.05). The TLD and PLD measured dose from panoramagraphy instruments on eyes and thyroid from each hospital did not exceed the recommended dose from ICRP 60 for surface dose measurements. However, due to the probability of influence, consideration should be made for all levels of dose.

Panoramagraphy was the second most used intraoral radiography utilized in Korea, resulting in 17.8% in university dental hospitals, 24.8% in dental hospitals, and 31.4% in dental clinics. Depending on increased demand like orthodontics and implant, panoromagraphy tends to consistently increase. This study were used lead glasses and lead shielding to reduce unnecessary radiation to the eyeballs and thyroid. ESD was 41.4% when radiation was shielded with the lead glasses while reducing 47.3% of ESD by shielding the X-ray tube area with shielding lead. There was no statistically significant difference. The lead glasses is appropriated to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to the eyeballs.

Ten hospitals from the Gwangju area were used to examine shallow dose to eyes and thyroid from panoramagraphy. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) and Photoluminescent dosimeter (PLD) were used as measurement devices at each hospital. ICRP 60 and ICRP 73 set standards for acceptability for eyes at 15mSv and thyroid at 1mSv per year. Left eye measures with TLD and PLD resulted in 0.19mSv and 0.24mSv respectively. Right eye measures with TLD and PLD resulted in 0.23mSv and 0.25mSv respectively. Thyroid measures with TLD and PLD resulted in 0.08mSv and 0.25mSv respectively with both measures not exceeding standards for acceptance. There was a significant difference in comparing the left eye and thyroid for TLD and PLD (p<0.01). There was no significant difference with the right eye (p>0.05). The absorbed dose measurements for eyes and thyroid using TLD and PLD in regards to panorama devices at each hospital were within the ICRP 60 recommendations; however, with the possibility of stochastic effect, all dose levels were taken into consideration.

치과 진료시 파로라마 장치를 이용한 검사에서 유리선량계를 사용하여 피검자의 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 수정체의 피폭선량 영향을 평가하기 위하여 안경의 재질에 따라 수정체의 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 치아위치별 피폭선량 측정결과 82.4-2,340${\mu}Sv$ 선량분포로 나타나 최대 300% 이상의 피폭선량 차이를 보였다. 따라서 효과적이고 정확한 진단과 피폭선량 관리를 위해서는 장치제조시 예열시간 단축 과차폐등의 조치가 필요할 것으로 생각된다. 안경을 착용하였을 때 착용하지 않았을 때 비하여 수정체의 피폭선량이 안경의 재질에 따라서 1회 검사 시 20-75${\mu}Sv$ 증가되는 것으로 측정되었다. 그러므로 피폭 선량을 최소화하고 효율적인 검사를 위해 치과 파노라마 검사시 안경을 벗고 검사할 것을 권고 한다.

치과 진료시 파노라마 장치를 이용한 검사에서 유리선량계를 사용하여 피검자의 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 특히 방사선에 민감한 수정체의 피폭선량을 줄이기 위하여 자체 제작한 Pb 밴딩의 크기에 따라 수정체 피폭선량을 측정한 결과 Pb밴딩의 크기에 따라서 수정체의 피폭선량이 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Pb밴딩의 크기가 3*20*0.2cm에서는 정상치보다 피폭선량이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 5*20*0.2cm 이상의 크기에서는 피폭선량이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 또한 획득되어진 영상 7*20*0.2cm 크기에서 진단에 부적합한 영상으로 판정 되었다. 그러므로 피폭선량을 최소화하고 효과적인 파노라마 검사를 수행하기 위해서는 Pb 밴딩 5*20*0.2cm이상 6*20*0.2cm이하 크기를 사용하여 검사에 활용하면 피폭선량이 감소될 것으로 기대한다.

Exposed dose of a patient was measured by Radiophotoluminescent Glass Rod Detector with a use of a panorama graphic device in dental examination. The effect of exposed dose in optic lens was measured by comparing the different materials of the glasses. Depending on the dental location, the exposed dose distribution was 82.4~2,340uSv. It showed that the maximum difference in dose distribution was over 300%. Thus, when manufacturing the devices, it seemed to require shortening the pre-heat time and additional shielding in order to control the diagnosis and exposed dose. The measurement data of the exposed dose in optic lens was increased 20~75uSv per each test when compared putting on glasses with not wearing. As a result, taking off the glasses is recommended to improve efficiency of the test and minimize the exposed dose during dental panorama graphic examinations.

Exposure dose to the examinee was measured using glass dosimeter in the test using panorama device at the time of dental treatment. As a result of measuring expose dose to lens according to the different sizes of Pb banding of own manufacturing to reduce exposure dose to lens especially sensitive to radiation, it was verified that exposure dose to lens varied depending on the size of the Pb banding. With the size of Pb banding of $3{\times}20{\times}0.2cm$, exposure dose tended to increase higher than normal value, and with the size of or more than $5{\times}20{\times}0.2cm$, it decreased. And also, the obtained image with the size of $7{\times}20{\times}0.2cm$ was not suitable for diagnosis. Therefore, it is expected that exposure dose would be reduced by using Pb banding of the size of not less than $5{\times}20{\times}0.2cm$ and not more than $6{\times}20{\times}0.2cm$ in the test, to minimize exposure dose and conduct panorama test efficiently.
