본 연구에서는 현재 건강검진에서 시행되고 있는 다중 CT 검사 시 개인선량계를 이용하여 갑상선, 유방, 생식선의 피폭선량에 대한 선량평가를 시행하였다. 선량평가는 CT 항목 중 Brain, Brain + C-S, Brain + Low lung, Brain + L-S CT 검사 시 갑상선, 유방, 생식선의 위치에 TLD와 EPD를 부착하여 측정하였다. 기기발생선량인 CTDIvol, DLP를 측정하였다. 연구결과 유효 선량은 일반인 연간 선량한도 1mSv보다 Brain + C-S CT 검사 시 갑상선 TLD 41.7%, EPD 156%, Brain + Low lung CT 검사 시 유방 EPD 10%, Brain + L-S CT 검사 시 생식선 TLD 124.4%, EPD 339.8% 높게 평가되었다. 전체 평균값에 대한 CTDIvol, DLP 분석결과 진단참조수준 보다 C-S CTDIvol 값은 0.6%, Low lung CTDIvol 값은 5.7%, DLP 값은 11.8%, L-S CTDIvol 값은 1.2%로 높게 평가되었다. 환자의 피폭선량 감소를 위해 무분별한 검사를 줄이고, 건강검진에서의 선량한도 설정이 필요하다.
In this study, a dose assessment was conducted on the exposure dose of thyroid, breast and sexual gland using a personal dosimeter in multiple CT examinations currently being conducted in health examinations. The dose assessment was measured by attaching TLD and EPD to the locations of the thyroid, breast and sexual gland during CT examinations of Brain, Brain + C-S, Brain + Low lung, Brain + L-S among CT items. The generated dose of equipment, CTDIvol and DLP, was measured. The study found that effective doses were rated 41.7% higher for thyroid TLD in Brain + C-S CT examinations than for the general public, 156% higher for EPD, 10% for breast EPD in Brain + Low Lung CT examinations, 124.4% higher for reproductive TLD and 339.8% higher for Brain + L-S CT examinations. The CTDIvol and DLP analysis results showed that C-S CTDIvol values were higher than the diagnostic reference levels at 0.6%, Low Lung CTDIvol values at 5.7%, DLP values at 11.8% and L-S CTDIvol values at 1.2%. In order to reduce the exposure dose of patients, indiscriminate examination is reduced and dose limit setting is needed in health examination.
