Abstract

In this study, $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$ was used as the component of the intensifying screen, and this study aims at analysis of fluorescent feature depending on the increase of tube voltage using spectrometer. When the released fluorescence was measured according to the increase of tube voltage, blue, green and red was observed, among which, $^5D_4-^7F_5$ which is applicable to green, was strongest. In addition, when the fluorescent of 50 kVp and 120 kVp were compared, 50 kVp was proved to release only 9.56% fluorescence of 120 kVp. In case when tube voltage which is higher than 100 kVp is used for the X-ray using $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$ intensifying screen, the amount and strength of the fluorescence reaching the film increase drastically, so attention is demanded to get images of proper concentration.

본 연구에서 사용한 증감지 구성 물질은 $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$이고 Spectrometer를 이용하여 관전압 증가에 따른 형광특성을 분석하였다. 관전압에 증가에 따른 방출 형광을 측정한 결과 청색, 녹색, 적색에 해당하는 형광을 확인하였고, 그 중에서 녹색 형광에 해당하는 $^5D_4-^7F_5$의 형광이 가장 강하게 나타났다. 또한 50 kVp와 120 kVp의 형광량을 비교한 결과 50 kVp의 형광량은 120 kVp의 9.56%에 해당하는 형광만 방출하는 것으로 나타났다. $Gd_2O_2S:Tb^{3+}$ 증감지를 이용한 X-선 촬영에서 100 kVp 이상의 높은 관전압을 사용 할 경우 필름에 도달하는 형광량과 강도가 급격히 증가하므로 적정농도의 영상을 획득하기위한 주의가 요구되어진다.
