최성관(Seong-Kwan Choi) 한국콘텐츠학회 2013 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.13 No.3

본 연구에서는 손, 머리, 복부 등에 대한 X선 촬영 시행 시 조사야 크기를 최적화할 경우와 최대화할 경우 검사목적부위로부터 30cm 거리에서의 X선 산란선량이 각각 어느 정도인지를 알아보았다. 그 결과 손, 머리, 복부 등에 대한 X선 산란선량은 첫째, 소인촬영의 경우 조사야 크기를 최적화하였을 때 각각 0.08 μSv, 4.39 μSv, 5.56 μSv로 나타났고, 조사야 크기를 최대화하였을 때 각각 0.58 μSv, 33.47 μSv, 35.93 μSv로 나타났으며, 둘째, 성인촬영의 경우 조사야 크기를 최적화하였을 때 각각 0.40 μSv, 14.51 μSv, 18.86 μSv로 나타났고, 조사야 크기를 최대화하였을 때 각각 2.78 μSv, 107.40 μSv, 117.52 μSv로 나타났다(P<0.001). 결론적으로, X선 촬영 시 조사야 크기를 필요한 만큼만으로 최대한 줄여주어 최적화시켰을 때에 최대화시켰을 때보다 피사체 주변의 X선 산란선 발생량은 약 6∼7배 정도 감소하였다. The purpose of this study is to investigate the scattered dose of X-ray at a distance of 30cm from the area to be examined when X-ray field is the most optimized and maximized when X-ray is performed on hand, skull and abdomen. As a result of scattered dose of X-ray on hand, skull and abdomen, first, when X-ray field was the most optimized upon adult X-ray examination, it was 0.08 μSv, 4.39 μSv and 5.56 μSv, respectively. When x-ray field was maximized, it was 0.58 μSv, 33.47 μSv and 35.93 μSv, respectively. Second, when X-ray field was the most optimized upon pediatric X-ray examination, it was 0.40 μSv, 14.51 μSv and 18.86 μSv, respectively. When x-ray field was maximized, it was 2.78 μSv, 107.40 μSv and 117.52 μSv, respectively(P<0.001). As a result, when the size of X-ray field was decreased down to be necessary and optimal upon X-ray examination, emission of scattered X-ray around specimen is reduced approximately 6?7 times as much as that when it was maximized.

There are several reasons to take X-ray in case of inpatients. Some of them who cannot ambulate or have any risk if move are taken portable X-ray at their wards. Usually, in this case, many other people-patients unneeded X-ray test, family, hospital workers etc-are indirectly exposed to X-ray by scatter ray. For that reason I try to be aware of free space scatter dose accurately and make the point at issue of portable X-ray better in this study. kVp dose meter is used for efficiency management of portable X-ray equipment. Mobile X-ray equipment, ionization chamber, electrometer, solid water phantom are used for measuring of free space scatter dose. First of all the same surroundings condition is made as taken real portable X-ray, inquired amount of X-ray both chest AP and abdomen AP most frequently examined and measured scatter ray distribution of two tests individually changing distance. In the result of measuring horizontal distribution with condition of chest AP it is found that the mAs is decreased as law of distance reverse square but no showed mAs change according to direction. Vertical distribution showed the mAs slightly higher than horizontal distribution but it isnt found out statistical characteristic. In abdomen AP, compare with chest AP, free space scatter dose is as higher as five-hundred times and horizontal, vertical distribution are quite similar to chest AP in result. In portable X-ray test, in order to reduce the secondary exposure by free space scatter dose first, cut down unnecessary portable order the second, set up the specific area at individual ward for the test the third, when moving to a ward for the X-ray test prepare a portable shielding screen. The last, expose about 2m apart from patients if unable to do above three ways.

There are two beamlines (BLs), 4C1 and 4C2, at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory that are dedicated to small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The 4C1 BL was constructed in early 2000 and is open to public users, including both domestic and foreign researchers. In 2003, construction of the second SAXS BL, 4C2, was complete and commissioning and user support were started. The 4C2 BL uses the same bending magnet as its light source as the 4C1 BL. The 4C1 BL uses a synthetic double multilayer monochromator, whereas the 4C2 BL uses a Si(111) double crystal monochromator for both small angle and wide angle X-ray scattering. In the 4C2 BL, the collimating mirror is positioned behind the monochromator in order to enhance the beam flux and energy resolution. A toroidal focusing mirror is positioned in front of the monochromator to increase the beam flux and eliminate higher harmonics. The 4C2 BL also contains a digital cooled charge coupled detector, which has a wide dynamic range and good sensitivity to weak scattering, thereby making it suitable for a range of SAXS and wide angle X-ray scattering experiments. The general performance of the 4C2 BL was initially tested using standard samples and further confirmed by the experience of users during three years of operation. In addition, several grazing incidence X-ray scattering measurements were carried out at the 4C2 BL.

Calibration-free real-time organic film thickness monitoring technique by reflected X-Ray fluorescence and compton scattering measurement

Park, Junghwan,Choi, Yong Suk,Kim, Junhyuck,Lee, Jeongmook,Kim, Tae Jun,Youn, Young-Sang,Lim, Sang Ho,Kim, Jong-Yun Korean Nuclear Society 2021 Nuclear Engineering and Technology Vol.53 No.4

Most thickness measurement techniques using X-ray radiation are unsuitable in field processes involving fast-moving organic films. Herein, we propose a Compton scattering X-ray radiation method, which probes the light elements in organic materials, and a new simple, non-destructive, and non-contact calibration-free real-time film thickness measurement technique by setting up a bench-top X-ray thickness measurement system simulating a field process dealing with thin flexible organic films. The use of X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering X-ray radiation reflectance signals from films in close contact with a roller produced accurate thickness measurements. In a high-thickness range, the contribution of X-ray fluorescence is negligible, whereas that of Compton scattering is negligible in a low-thickness range. X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering show good correlations with the organic film thickness (R² = 0.997 and 0.999 for X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering, respectively, in the thickness range 0-0.5 mm). Although the sensitivity of X-ray fluorescence is approximately 4.6 times higher than that of Compton scattering, Compton scattering signals are useful for thick films (e.g., thicker than ca. 1-5 mm under our present experiment conditions). Thus, successful calibration-free thickness monitoring is possible for fast-moving films, as demonstrated in our experiments.

의료용 X선 방호는 끊임없이 논쟁이 되고 불필요한 피폭을 막으려는 노력은 많은 연구자들의 관심사였다. X선은 환자를 투과하고 영상을 얻기 까지 피사체와 광전효과, 컴프턴산란 등의 상호작용을 하여 산란선을 만든다. 이 때문에 의료방사선 종사자뿐만 아니라 검사를 받는 환자도 환부 외 영역에 불필요한 산란선 피폭을 받게 된다. 이에 본 연구는 본 연구에서는 여성의 인체를 가정하여, 요추정면 검사 조건으로 X선을 팬텀에 조사한 후 유방근처의 산란선과 갑상샘 근처의 산란선을 측정하였다. 이후 jelly type의 차폐체를 제작하여 산란선 차폐 및 방사선감수성이 높은 부위에서 차폐효과를 확인하는 것이 목표이다, 실험결과 차폐체를 적용하였을 때의 갑상선 측정시 평균 0.16 mR, 왼쪽, 오른쪽 유방 측정 시 평균 0.6 mR, 왼쪽 겨드랑이 0.64 mR, 오른쪽 겨드랑이 0.54 mR 의 산란선 평균을 나타내었으며 약 82%의 산란선 차폐효과를 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 기존 방호도구와 비교하여 Jelly type의 차폐 체와의 요추 검사에서 발생하는 피폭의 차폐율을 비교하여 기존 방호도구를 대체할 방안으로 제시 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. There have been continuous controversies on medical X-ray protection and numerous researchers have been trying to prevent unnecessary exposure to radiation. As X-ray passes through the patient and obtains an image, it creates scattered ray due to interactions such as photoelectric effect and Compton scattering with the subject. As a result, both medical radiation staff and patient are exposed to unnecessary radiation on areas other than the target area. In response, this study will be assuming a body of a female, radiating X-ray on the phantom under the conditions of lumbar spine AP test, and measuring scattered ray around breasts and thyroid glands. Then, The experiment results were as follows. After application of non-shielding material, the average of scattered ray was 0.88 mR in thyroid measurement, 3.34 mR, Lt Axillary 3.54 mR, and Rt Axillary 3.03 mR in mamonary measurement but, After application of shielding material, the average of scattered ray was 0.16 mR in thyroid measurement, 0.60 mR, Lt Axillary 0.64 mR, and Rt Axillary 0.54 mR in mamonary measurement showing average scattered ray protection effect of about 82%. This study suggested the manufacturing method of a Jelly-type shielding material, identified the possibilities of researches on mixing various substances with radiology field, and verified the usability of the Jelly-type shielding material as a substitute for existing protection tools.

비정질 고체에 대한 X선의 다중 산란 강도

박성수,장윤식,류봉기,박희찬 한국세라믹학회 1997 한국세라믹학회지 Vol.34 No.1

흡수계수가 매우 낮은 비정질 재료의 구조 해석을 하기 위하여 표준 X선 회절 기법을 이용했을 때, 시료의 측정된 X선 회절 강도에는 다중 산란에 의해 발생하는 X선 강도가 상당히 포함된다. 비정질 SiO2와 B2O3에서 사용되는 빔의 종류에 따라 발생하는 다중 산란 빔의 강도를 산출해 주는 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하였다. 여러 종류의 X선 빔과 시료 SiO2와 B2O3의 조합을 작성된 컴퓨터 프로그램을 도입하였을 때, 2$\theta$=0~180$^{\circ}$의 범위에서 시료 SiO2의 단일 산란 빔에 대한 다중 산란 빔의 강도 비는 CuK$\alpha$빔; 0.10~0.16%, MoK$\alpha$빔; 0.98~5.87%, AgK$\alpha$빔; 1.88~17.86%로 계산되어졌고, 시료 B2O3에 대한 단일 산란 빔에 대한 다중 산란 빔의 강도 비는 CuK$\alpha$빔; 0.27~0.54%, MoK$\alpha$빔; 2.30~19.69%, AgK$\alpha$빔; 3.96~53.83%로 계산되어졌다. 따라서, X선 회절 기법을 이용하여 비정질 SiO2와 B2O3의 구조 해석에 있어서는, MoK$\alpha$빔 및 AgK$\alpha$빔에서 측정된 X선 회절 강도는 다중 산란 효과에 대해서 반드시 교정하여야 한다. When the intensity of X-rays scattered from amorphous materials (very weakly absorbing materials) is measured using standard diffractometric technique, the intensity caused by multiple scattering is obtained in the measured X-ray intensity. Computer programs have been developed to estimate the intensity of the mul-tiple scattering obtained in vitreous SiO2 and B2O3 with various X-rays. Using the above computer program, the intensity ratios of multiple scattering to single scattering in vitreous SiO2 were 0.10~0.16% at CuK$\alpha$, 0.98~5.87% at MoK$\alpha$, and 1.88~17.86% at AgK$\alpha$ in the range of 2$\theta$=0~180$^{\circ}$. Therefore, pri-or to the structural analysis of vitreous SiO2 and B2O3 performed experimentally using X-ray diffractometric technique, the intensity data measured in MoK$\alpha$ and AgK$\alpha$ radiations must be corrected for multiple scattering effect.

X선 촬영실 내 공간선량의 분포와 거리 역자승 법칙과의 관련성

최성관(Seong-Kwan Choi) 한국콘텐츠학회 2013 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.13 No.8

본 연구는 손, 머리, 복부 등의 X선 촬영 시에 발생되는 공간선량이 어느 정도인지를 알아보고, 산란선에 의한 공간선량의 강도가 “거리 역자승 법칙”에 의해 감쇠하는지를 파악했다. 첫째, 손처럼 X선 산란선 발생량이 적은 촬영의 공간선량은 대부분 “거리 역자승 법칙”에 근접한 감쇠가 이루어지면서, 2m 거리에서는 전혀 측정되지 않았다. 둘째, 머리나 복부처럼 X선 산란선 발생량이 많은 촬영의 공간선량은 조사야 중심을 기준으로 30cm에서 1m 거리까지는 “거리 역자승 법칙”보다 더 높은 비율의 감쇠가 이루어지고, 1m에서 2m 거리까지는 “거리 역자승 법칙”에 의한 감쇠가 이루어졌다. 따라서 X선 촬영실 내에서는 손 촬영의 경우 조사야 중심으로부터 적어도 2m 이상 떨어져 있어야 하고, 머리나 복부 촬영의 경우 촬영실 내 모든 공간에서 보호용구를 이용한 X선 피폭 방어조치가 요구된다. In the present study, space doses generated during X-ray radiography of hand, head, and abdomen, etc. were examined and whether the intensity of space doses of scattering rays is attenuated by the “inverse square law of distance” was figured out. First, the space doses of X-ray with small amounts of generated scattering rays such as hand radiography were mostly attenuated by the “inverse square law of distance” and were not detected at all at a distance of 2m. Second, the space doses of X-ray with large amounts of generated scattering rays such as head or abdomen radiography attenuated in higher rates than the rates under the “inverse square law of distance” at distances ranging from 30cm to 1m from the center of the irradiation field and were attenuated by the “inverse square law of distance” at distances ranging from 1m to 2m. Therefore, in X-ray rooms, the subject should be at least 2m away from the center of the irradiation field in the case of hand radiography and X-ray exposure prevention actions using protective devices are required in the entire spaces of the X-ray rooms in the case of head or abdomen radiography.

김노유(Nohyu Kim) 한국비파괴검사학회 2010 한국비파괴검사학회지 Vol.30 No.1

항공기용 복합재료 내부 여러 층에서 발생하는 박리를 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 X-ray 후방산란 검사장치를 개발하였다. 복합재료 두께방향으로의 역산란 밀도변화로부터 층간 박리를 검사하는 슬릿 방식의 카메라와 컴퓨터로 제어되는 X-ray 선원, 그리고 센서로 구성되는 X-ray 후방산란장치를 제작하여 그 성능을 충격하중에 의해 만들어진 인공결함시편을 이용해 검증하였다. 결함평가를 위해 복합재료내 산란장의 크기를 이론적으로 계산하는 수학적 해석 모델을 볼츠만 방정식을 이용하여 제안하였으며 적응필터 알고리즘을 사용하여 산란 노이즈를 최소화 하였다. 다중 박리 결함을 X-ray 후방산란장치를 통해 효과적으로 검출하였으며, 박리 위치와 박리 상태를 모두 정확하게 검사할 수 있음을 실험을 통해 확인하였다. A Compton X-ray backscatter technique has been developed to quantitatively assess impact damage in quasi-isotropic laminated composites made by a drop-weight tester. X-ray backscatter imaging system with a slit-type camera is constructed to obtain a cross-sectional profile of impact-damaged laminated composites from the electron-density variation of the cross section. A nonlinear scattering model based on Boltsman equation is introduced to compute Compton X-ray backscattering field for the defect assessment. An adaptive filter is also used to reduce noises from many sources including quantum noise and irregular distributions of fibers and matrix in composites. Delaminations masked or distorted by the first delamination are detected and characterized effectively by the Compton X-ray backscatter technique, both in width and location, by application of error minimization algorithm.

Thin Film Characterization via Synchrotron X-ray Experiments: XRR-TXRF, GIWAXS, 3D RSM

조인화,김효정 한국진공학회 2022 Applied Science and Convergence Technology Vol.31 No.6

X-ray is an essential probe for observing, from the nano to atomic scale, the physical and chemical properties of thin films, such as film thickness, electron densities, and features related to crystal structures. In particular, bright and collimated synchrotron (SR) X-rays have enabled various in situ experiments combined with multiple measurements of X-rays and other probes. In this report, we provide basic information on SRrelated X-ray experiments, such as X-ray reflectivity-Total reflection X-ray fluorescence, Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering, and 3-dimensional reciprocal space mapping, for thin film research.
