Radiation exposure is on the rise as the working hours of radiation workers increase. Accordingly, the importance of protection products for decreasing the dose of exposure has risen, and excellent X-ray shielding ability and light weight are required. The purpose of this study is to compare the Pb which use currently and other elements in order to reduce the exposure of workers to the most effective protection products. For experiment, we used the general X-ray equipment and angiography equipment, and obtained the Pb and apron’s shielding rate. When the shielding rate of Pb and apron was compared in general X-ray equipment, the shielding rate was 95.1% for Pb 0.5 mm, 96.1% for apron 0.5 mmPb and 95.6% for Bi+W 0.5 mmPb. When compared the shielding rate of each aprons in angiography equipment, 0.5 mmPb apron was the highest as 96.4% and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron was the lowest as 90.2% at the 50 cm distance. The shielding rate of 0.5 mmPb apron was the highest as 95.7% and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron was the lowest as 85.9% at the 100 cm distance. As a result of evaluating the apron efficiency through this study, 0.5 mmPb apron showed the best shielding rate, but it was the heaviest apron. 0.35 mmPb apron and Bi+W 0.25 mmPb apron weighed light but had low shielding rate. Through the results of this experiment, it is recommended that radiation workers reduce radiation exposure by using more efficient protection products.

조용건(YongJian Zhao),최병호(Byoung-Ho Choi),노재혁(Jaehyok Roh) 대한기계학회 2013 대한기계학회 춘추학술대회 Vol.2013 No.12

It is well known that the radiation exposure is very harmful to the human body, so the proper use of the radiation protection apron during medical imaging is important. However, the risk of the radiation exposure has been increased gradually because various medical imaging tools has been developed as well. Unfortunately, most radiation protection aprons are made of lead (Pb), so they are usuall too heavy to work for a long time. Some lead-free aprons are available but they are too expensive. So, in this study, oxide based lead-free radiation protection apron based on tin, antimony and barium sulfate was developed, and the performance of the apron is compared with commercially available radiation protection aprons.

This study proposes effective quality control and maintenance method by developing a new qualitative evaluation method of apron for medical radiation protection. As an experimental material, one of 0.45 mm lead and 100 of 0.45 mm Pb aprons were used and irradiated under the conditions of a tube voltage of 75 kVp and a tube current of 12.5 mAs to obtain an image. and using the Image J program, PSNR values were compared and analyzed. The results showed that there were 40 aprons (less than 11dB), 55 aprons (less than 11dB, less than 30dB), and 5 aprons (30dB or more). In addition, the dose showed a normal distribution for the apron, and 5 aprons with PSNR less than 11dB and 30dB or more were se-lected and divided into 8 zones, and these groups were statistically significant. 의료방사선 방호용 앞치마의 새로운 정성적인 평가방법을 개발하여 효과적인 정도관리 및 보수 관리법을 제시 하고자 한다. 임상에서 사용되고 있는 0.45 mm Pb 앞치마 100개를 대상으로 관전압 75 kVp, 관전류 12.5 mAs의 방사선 조사조건으로 영상을 획득하였고, 동일한 조건으로 0.45 mm 납판을 대상으로 비교하였다. 획득된 영상은 Image J 프로그램을 이용하여 최대 신호 대 잡음 비(Pick Signal-to-Noise Ratio; PSNR) 값을 비교하였다. PSNR은 납판의 이미지와 상이한 앞치마(11dB 미만)는 40개, 유사한 앞치마(11dB 이상, 30dB 미만)는 55개, 거의 동일한 (30dB 이상) 앞치마는 5개였다. 또한 선량은 앞치마에 대해서 정규분포를 나타냈으며, PSNR이 11dB 미만, 30dB 이상인 앞치마를 각 5개씩 선정한 후 8구역으로 나누어 비교분석한 결과 두 그룹은 통계적으로 유의하였다. 결론 적으로, Image J 프로그램을 통해 획득한 PSNR 값은 앞치마의 정도관리 및 정기적인 성능평가가 가능한 정도관리 및 보수 관리법으로 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

핵의학 종사자는 PET/CT 업무 환경 중 방사성 의약품 취급 시 상당히 높은 피폭선량을 받는다고 알려져 있으며, 이를 최소화하기 위해 적절한 차폐기구의 사용이 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 몬테카를로 기법을 기반으로 한 모의실험과 실측을 통해 18F-FDG 선원 취급 시 Apron 착용에 대한 차폐효과에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 모의실험의 경우 선원의 취급 위치에 따라 인체 장기별 선량 분포가 각각 다른 양상을 나타냈고, Apron 납 두께별 선량 감소율은 선원과 장기와의 위치가 근접할수록, 선원과의 접촉 거리가 멀수록 낮은 경향을 나타냈다. 선량 측정 장비를 통한 실측의 경우, 측정 장비간 특성으로 인해 평균 공간 선량률 분포는 상이한 결과를 보였으나, 거리 별 납 당량의 증가에 따라 지수함수분포로 공간 선량률이 감소되었다. Health professionals in nuclear medicine were known that they get high radiation exposure. To reduce radiation exposure, using shielding materials is needed. In this study, we analyzed the shielding effect about apron during 18F-FDG treatment by using simulation based on Monte Carlo techniques and actual measurement. As a result, absorbed dose distribution of organ varies with handling position of the source. Dose re-duction ratio by lead thickness of apron tended to decease, when handling position of the source come close to organ and away from radiation source for simulation. In the case of actual measurement with the dosimetry device, It showed that mean spatial dose dis-tribution was different due to characteristics of dosimetry device. However, spatial dose rate was ex-ponentially reduced according to distance with increasing lead content.

최성관(Seong-Kwan Choi) 대한방사선과학회(구 대한방사선기술학회) 2016 방사선기술과학 Vol.39 No.4

본 연구는 손, 머리, 허리측방향 등에 대한 X선 촬영조건(kVp, mAs)으로 SID 50cm, 1m, 2m에서 발생되는 1차 X선이 보호앞치마를 어느 정도 투과하는지를 알아보았고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 손 X선 촬영조건의 1차X선은 0.3mmPb 보호앞치마로 차폐할 경우 선량을 약 270배 줄일 수 있으나 SID 50cm, 1m, 2m에서 보호앞치마를 각각 0.120, 0.043, 0.012mR 수준으로 투과한다. 둘째, 머리 X선 촬영조건의 1차X선은 0.3mmPb 보호앞치마로 차폐할 경우 선량을 약 22배 줄일 수 있으나 SID 50cm, 1m, 2m에서 보호앞치마를 각각 13.191, 4.821, 1.388mR 수준으로 투과한다. 셋째, 허리측방향 X선 촬영조건의 1차X선은 0.3mmPb 보호앞치마로 차폐할 경우 선량을 약 13배 줄일 수 있으 나 SID 50cm, 1m, 2m에서 보호앞치마를 각각 77.844, 27.406, 8.606mR 수준으로 투과한다. 따라서 X선 검사 시 촬영실 내에 있는 관계자들은 1차X선이 도달하는 모든 공간에서 보호앞치마만을 착용한 채 머물러 있어서는 안 되며, 부득이하게 촬영실 안에 머물러 있어야 할 경우 보호앞치마 착용과 함께 두꺼운 납 이 내장된 차폐칸막이 뒤에 안전하게 피해야 한다. This study is to figure out the amount of primary X-ray generated in SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m penetrating protective aprons in X-ray radiography for hands, skull, and lumbar spine. Results are as follows: Firstly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is low such as that of hand X-ray may be reduced by 270 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still slightly penetrates 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Secondly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is moderate such as that of skull X-ray may be reduced by 22 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still fairly penetrates 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Thirdly, the exposure dose of primary X-ray which is very high such as that of lumbar spine X-ray may be reduced by 13 times if protective aprons are worn, but it still penetrates a lot 0.3mm thick Pb protective aprons at SID 50cm, 1m, and 2m. Therefore, people in X-ray room should not only wear protective aprons at any spaces that the primary X-ray can reach, but a

Protective clothing developed for rose flower farmers has been evaluated to improve the working conditions. The requirements of rose farmers were first identified to design protective clothing for farmers working with thorny plants. A fit test was conducted to assess the thermal comfort and protective function against thorn pricking to compare and evaluate the usability of developed experimental clothing with existing working clothes. Based on the survey results of rose farmers`` requirements, protective clothing was designed in the form of an apron (which was the most preferred after gloves) with a pattern designed for the production of experimental clothing. For the developed protective clothing, the strap and buckle closure method was selected to open the back of the body as much as possible; in addition, sleeves were made in the attachable form of a half-sleeve to protect the arms from the thorns. The fit test of the developed protective clothing and existing working clothes revealed the temperature and humidity inside the developed protective clothing to be significantly different in the back compared to existing work clothes. In addition to thermal sensations, the subjective humidity sensations were statistically significant different in the developed protective clothing compared to existing work clothes. The subjective protective function for thorn pricking was also found to be satisfactory.

This study examined the effectiveness degree of a protective apron that is taken not to be exposed to the first ray or scattered rays, for X-ray of thick subject like lateral lumbar, and the results are as follows; First, spatial dose by scattered rays is shielded by 3 mmPb protective apron, 86.8% at a distance of 50 cm, 92.7% at 100 cm, and 95.6% at 200 cm, when minimizing the field size, while 89% at a distance of 50 cm, 92.3% at 100 cm, and 95.2% at 200 cm, when maximizing the field size. Second, 1st exposure dose is shielded by 3 mmPb protective apron, 93.7% at a distance of 50 cm, 94.4% at 100 cm, and 93.6% at 200 cm, when minimizing the field size, while 93.7% at a distance of 50 cm, 93.6% at 100 cm, and 94.2% at 200 cm, when maximizing the field size.

A New Radiation-Shielding Device for Restraining Veterinary Patients

In veterinary medicine, most radiographic images are obtained by restraining patients, inevitably exposing the restrainer to secondary scattered radiation. Radiation exposure can result in stochastic reactions such as cancer and genetic effects, as well as deterministic reactions such as skin burns, cataracts, and bone marrow suppression. Radiation-shielding equipment, including aprons, thyroid shields, eyewear, and gloves, can reduce radiation exposure. However, the risk of radiation exposure to the upper arms, face, and back remains, and lead aprons and thyroid shields are heavy, restricting movement. We designed a new radiation-shielding system and compared its shielding ability with those of conventional radiation-shielding systems. We hypothesized that the new shielding system would have a wider radiation-shielding range and similar shielding ability. The radiation exposure dose differed significantly between the conventional and new shielding systems in the forehead, chin, and bilateral upper arm areas (p < 0.001). When both systems were used together, the radiation-shielding ability was better than when only one system was used at all anatomical locations (p < 0.01). This study suggests that the new radiation-shielding system is essential and convenient for veterinary radiation workers because it is a step closer to radiation safety in veterinary radiography.
