초록

CT 검사에서 수정체 차폐용 비스무트(bismuth)를 사용하여 수정체 선량의 감소효과를 유리선량계로 측정하여 비스무트 차폐효과 및 영상을 평가하였다. 안구 및 두부 CT 검사에서 차폐용 비스무트를 사용하여 수정체 선량의 감소와 차폐 효과를 평가하기 위해 인체모형 팬텀으로 유리선량계를 이용하여 수정체 선량을 평가하였다. 유리선량계를 이용하여 비스무트를 사용하기 전의 평균 선량은 21.54mGy이었고, 사용 후의 선량은 10.46mGy로 51.3%의 선량 감소효과가 있다. 차폐용 비스무트를 사용한 안구 64 MDCT 촬영에서 선량감소 효과가 있어 수정체를 포함한 안구 CT 스캔에서는 비스무트를 사용하여 검사하도록 권고한다.

영어초록

The purpose of our study was to determine the eyeradiation dose when performing routine multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). We also evaluated dose reduction and the effect on image quality of using a bismuth eye shield when performing head MDCT. Examinations were performed with a 64MDCT scanner. To compare the shielded/unshielded lens dose, the examination was performed with and without bismuth shielding in anthropomorphic phantom. To determine the average lens radiation dose, we imaged an anthropomorphic phantom into which calibrated photoluminescence glass dosimeter (PLD) were placed to measure the dose to lens. The phantom was imaged using the same protocol. Radiation doses to the lens with and without the lensshielding were measured and compared using the Student t test. In the qualitative evaluation of the MDCT scans, all were considered to be of diagnostic quality. We did not see any differences in quality between the shielded and unshielded brain. The mean radiation doses to the eyewith the shield and to those without the shield were 21.54 versus 10.46mGy, respectively. The lens shield enabled a 51.3% decrease in radiation dose to the lens. Bismuth in-plane shielding for routine eye and head MDCT decreased radiation dose to the lenswithout qualitative changes in image quality. The other radiosensitive superficial organs specifically must be protected with shielding.
