回転パノラマ撮影装置を用いた顎関節撮影における組織の吸収線量を測定し，さらに，異なる撮影法の相対的線量比較を行うため，予測的な線量評価として実効線量を算出した．オルビトラームス法やシュラー氏法の吸収線量と実効線量を比較し，患者の受ける線量からみたパノラマ顎関節撮影の有用性について検討した．パノラマ顎関節正面撮影はオルビトラームス法と比較して水晶体の吸収線量は1/40 であり，実効線量はオルビトラームス法小照射野と同程度で約10μSvであった．パノラマ顎関節側面撮影はシュラー氏法と比較して脳の吸収線量は低く，唾液腺は高い値を示した．実効線量はシュラー氏法中照射野と同程度で，シュラー氏法の小照射野が最も低い実効線量（5μSv）だった．

The purpose of this study is to calculate accurate radiation exposure doses in patient using voxel phantom and incorporating specific effects of x-ray radiation in x-ray CT examination. In x-ray CT, a special filter called beam-shaping filter is positioned in front of x-ray tube. As the other factor, CT table reduces radiation dose. These factors were measured and incorporated in simulation code of Electron Gamma Shower version 5 (EGS5). Difference of measurement and calculation based on CT Dose Index (CTDI) in an acrylic cylindrical phantom was within 2.8 %. Detailed dose distribution in the voxel anthropomorphic phantom was obtained using the simulation. Measurement and calculation of organ doses denoted the same tendency of the location in the phantom, but near the end of scan area the calculation value was smaller than the measurement value. In the measurement, organ dose was under estimated by partial irradiation of the organ at the border of scan area.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation dose to patients undergoing computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) for prospectively gated axial (PGA) technique and retrospectively gated helical (RGH) technique.

METHODS: Radiation doses were measured for a 320-detector row CT scanner (Toshiba Aquilion ONE) using small sized silicon-photodiode dosimeters, which were implanted at various tissue and organ positions within an anthropomorphic phantom for a standard Japanese adult male. Output signals from photodiode dosimeters were read out on a personal computer, from which organ and effective doses were computed according to guidelines published in the International Commission on Radiological Protection Publication 103.

RESULTS: Organs that received high doses were breast, followed by lung, esophagus, and liver. Breast doses obtained with PGA technique and a phase window width of 16% at a simulated heart rate of 60 beats per minute were 13 mGy compared to 53 mGy with RGH technique using electrocardiographically dependent dose modulation at the same phase window width as that in PGA technique. Effective doses obtained in this case were 4.7 and 20 mSv for the PGA and RGH techniques, respectively. Conversion factors of dose length product to the effective dose in PGA and RGH were 0.022 and 0.025 mSv mGy(-1) cm(-1) with a scan length of 140 mm.

CONCLUSIONS: CTCA performed with PGA technique provided a substantial effective dose reduction, i.e., 70%-76%, compared to RGH technique using the dose modulation at the same phase windows as those in PGA technique. Though radiation doses in CTCA with RGH technique were the same level as, or some higher than, those in conventional coronary angiography (CCA), the use of PGA technique reduced organ and effective doses to levels less than CCA except for breast dose.

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate organ dose and the effective dose to patients undergoing tomosynthesis (TS) and C-arm cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations and to compare the doses to those in multidetector CT (MDCT) scans.

METHODS: Patient doses were measured with small sized silicon-photodiode dosimeters, 48 in number, which were implanted at various tissue and organ positions within an anthropomorphic phantom. Output signals from photodiode dosimeters were read out on a personal computer, from which organ and effective doses were computed. The doses in head, chest, abdomen, and hip-joint TS, and in head and abdomen C-arm CBCT were evaluated for routine protocols on Shimadzu TS and C-arm CBCT systems, and the doses in MDCT with the same scan regions as in TS and CBCT were on Toshiba 64-detector-row CT scanners.

RESULTS: In TS examination of the head, chest, abdomen, and hip-joint, organ doses for organs within scan ranges were 1-4 mGy, and effective doses were 0.07 mSv for the head scan and around 1 mSv for other scans. In C-arm CBCT examinations of the head and abdomen, organ doses within scan range were 2-37 mGy, and effective doses were 1.2 mSv for the head scan and 4-5 mSv for abdominal scans. Effective doses in TS examinations were approximately a factor of 10 lower, while the doses in CBCT examinations were nearly the same level, compared to the doses in the corresponding MDCT examinations.

CONCLUSIONS: TS examinations with low doses and excellent resolutions in coronal images compared to recent MDCT would widely be used in tomographic examinations of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, skeletal-joints, and knee instead of MDCT examinations with significantly high doses. Since patient dose in C-arm CBCT was nearly the same level as that in recent MDCT, the same consideration for high radiation dose would be required for the use of CBCT.

口腔外科領域の被曝線量評価のため，人体ファントム内に線量計を配置し，各部の臓器線量を求めた。これに，放射線荷重係数と組織荷重係数を乗じ積算すると実効線量となる。ICRP1990年Pub.60による組織荷重係数に対し，2007年Pub.103のそれでは，新しく唾液腺などが加わり，この前後の違いを検討した結果，前者に対して後者の実効線量は，口内撮影で1.6～4.5倍，パノラマ法で約2.2倍高くなった。
