Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a phantom device for measuring radiation dose, and more particularly, to a phantom device for measuring radiation dose, and more particularly to a phantom device for measuring radiation dose, The present invention relates to a phantom device for dosimetry of a radiotherapeutic apparatus settled so that the desorption structure of a radiation dose measuring device such as a glass dosimeter is standardized so that the output radiation dose of the radiation therapy apparatus can be conveniently and quickly checked.
For example, radiotherapy for the treatment of diseases such as cancer (cancer) usually requires an inpatient treatment of the patient due to a relatively short treatment time of about 1 hour, and it is advantageous that the patient does not suffer any pain in the course of treatment And it is widely known as one of the three treatment methods of cancer treatment together with surgical operation and chemotherapy.
Particularly, in the medical field, radiation treatment is performed to quantitatively dose the radiation dose by precise control so that the same amount of radiation as the treatment plan is irradiated to each organs and cancer cells of the patient, Do.
Therefore, before using the radiation therapy apparatus, it is essential that quality control (quality control) is performed in advance to confirm the abnormality and the operation precision of the normal radiation dose and the output state.
Actually, at the medical institutions operating the radiation treatment apparatus, based on the provisions of Article 5 (Quality Control) of <Technical Standard for Radiation Safety Management in the Medical Field> of the "Nuclear Safety Commission Notice No. 2015-005" The quality control of the treatment device or the radiotherapy device is performed on its own periodically or irregularly.
According to Article 7 (7) of the Notification, medical institutions should be subject to independent quality audits by external organizations. (For reference, detailed quality control items at this time are described in detail in the annexed table of the notification).
Therefore, the relevant inspection or authorized organization can visit the medical institution with the equipment and equipment necessary for the inspection and carry out the quality audit. At this time, the present invention is directly related to the inspection of X-ray and electron beam output agreement among the items listed in the annexes of the notification. For reference, in the specification of the present invention, X-ray and electron beam are defined as radiation in a usual term.
Generally, the radiation dose inspection of a radiation treatment apparatus is carried out by an inspection institution having a measurement technique, and a radiation dose measuring instrument called a phantom, which is made to be capable of measuring radiation in place of a human body, It is known as the most reliable way to measure the dose.
However, there is a disadvantage in that the inspection agency has to determine and secure the measurement time by avoiding the patient's treatment time in advance at the visit inspection of each medical institution, and it is troublesome that the concerned medical institution needs active cooperation.
Considering that approximately 160 radiotherapy facilities are currently used at 80 medical institutions nationwide (mostly university hospital), the method of inspecting all the medical facilities scattered throughout the country and examining the radiation dose is as follows: There is a problem that efficiency and practicality are very poor in terms of inspection time.
In addition, if the medical institution does not actively consider the visit measurement, it is very difficult to check all the institutions within a predetermined period.
Therefore, the radiation dose testing method that is currently being performed is to send a simple kit in the form of a kit to each of the medical institutions by the inspection agency, and the testee of each medical institution constructs a phantom to directly measure the radiation dose Postal dosimetry is often carried out, in which the inspection tool is returned to the inspection body by post and the results are verified.
As a representative example of postal measurement as described above, TLD (Thermo luminance dosimeter) jig method and IROC (Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core) method are known.
That is, the TLD jig method is a radiation dose testing method using a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) device, which was implemented by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA / KFDA) since 2004. This test method uses only a TLD device and a jig (Phantom), which is a medium for measuring radiation dose, must be prepared by the examinee (each medical institution). Accordingly, since a uniform sized water tank (phantom) is not provided during the measurement process, it is difficult to maintain the consistency and coherence among the examinees, which causes a lot of error factors, resulting in poor measurement accuracy and reliability.
In TLD jig method, the use frequency is gradually reduced due to inconvenience of use such as heat treatment for about 2 hours for reading and reuse of TLD device, while the use of optically stimulated luminosity dosimeter (OSLD: Optically Stimulated Luminance Dosimeter) or glass A dosimeter (GD: Glass Dosimeter) is being replaced.
The Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core (IROC) method measures the radiation dose using an acrylic phantom having a built-in optical stimulus dosimeter (OSLD). The IROC is an Imaging and Radiation Oncology Core ) Is conducted by radiation dose management and external quality control services.
Therefore, when the IROC is inspected, the acrylic phantom with the OSLD dosimeter can be received by international mail. The inspector (the examinee) mounts the acrylic phantom received from the IROC under the radiotherapy apparatus, irradiates a certain amount of radiation, The IROC inspection method is sent to the IROC by international mail and the read result can be received by e-mail. The IROC inspection method has a disadvantage in that the inspection precision and reliability are relatively inferior because acrylic phantom is used instead of water.
