Abstract
The study examined the relationship between the compressed breast thickness and Average Glandular Dose (AGD) among 1,969 outpatients who went through breast X-ray in a university hospital for 10 months from July 1st, 2007 to April 30th, 2008. Then it analyzed the result acquired from 3,900 cases of Cranio-Caudal (CC) view, especially, when the breasts were compressed (13-15daN). The following is the conclusion driven from the relationship analysis. 1. The subjects aged in 40s and 50s were 2,679 out of 3,900 cases and this figure was 68.69% in all. 2. In terms of distribution depending on focus/filter, 41.0% was Mo/Mo, 34.8% was Mo/Rh, and 24.2% was Rh/Rh. 3. In terms of compressed breast thickness depending on focus/filter, the average thickness was 26.91 mm at Mo/Mo, 38.84 mm at Mo/Rh, and 48.80 mm at Rh/Rh. The average thickness of the entire cases was shown to be 36.27 mm. 4. AGD depending on focus/filter was 1.27 mGy at Mo/Mo, 1.55 mGy at Mo/Rh, and 1.42 mGy at Rh/Rh. The average glandular dose of the entire cases was shown to be 1.43 mGy. 5. The relationship of AGD depending on compressed breast thickness at Mo/Mo was y=0.0318x + 0.470 while it was y=0.0206x + 0.709 at Mo/Rh and y=0.0248x + 0.335 at Mo/Rh. It was highly influenced by the compressed breast thickness, however, more variation was detected at Mo/Mo depending on breast thickness.
2007년 7월 1일부터 2008년 4월 30일까지 10개월간 대학병원에 내원한 1,969명의 CC촬영건수 3,900건에 대한 유방 압박($13{\sim}15\;daN$)시 두께와 평균 유선 선량(AGD)의 관계를 분석 해본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 전체 3,900건에 대해 연령 40대와 50대가 전체의 68.69%로 2.679건이었다. 2. 초점/필터 물질별 분포를 보면 41.0%가 Mo/Mo이었고, 34.8%는 Mo/Rh, 24.2%는 Rh/Rh이었다. 3. 초점/필터 물질 별 유방 압박 두께는 Mo/Mo 시 평균 두께 26.9 mm이며, Mo/Rh 시 38.84 mm, Rh/Rh시 48.80 mm로 전체 건수에 대한 평균 두께는 36.27 mm로 나타났다. 4. 초점/필터 물질에 따른 평균 유선 선량(AGD)은 Mo/Mo 시 평균 1.27 mGy, Mo/Rh 시 1.55 mGy, Rh/Rh 시 1.42 mGy로 전체 건수에 대한 평균 유선 선량의 평균은 1.43 mGy로 나타났다. 5. Mo/Mo 시 유방 압박 두께에 따른 평균 유선 선량의 관계는 y = 0.0318x + 0.470이며, Mo/Rh에서는 y = 0.0206x + 0.709, Rh/Rh에서는 y = 0.0248x + 0.335로 유방 압박 두께에 따라서 영향을 많이 받지만, 특히 Mo/Mo 시 유방 두께에 따라서 변화가 컸다.
