초록
전산화 단층촬영은 폐질환의 정밀진단 방법으로 사용이 증가되고 있다. 통상적으로 시행되는 CT촬영은 조기 진단을 위한 선별검사로써는 높은 방사선 노출과 고비용, 조영제 사용으로 인한 부작용 등으로 적당하지 않다. 영상의학분야에서 방사선을 이용한 CT촬영은 진단 능력이 우수한 반면 피폭선량 또한 매우 높아 선량 감축을 위한 노력이 절실하다. 그동안 많은 연구들에서 무증상기의 폐암 및 폐질환을 조기 발견하기 위한 선별검사로써 저선량 CT의 유용성에 대해 이루어져 왔고, 의미있는 결과를 보고하였다. 선량 감소에 많은 인자가 관여하고 있지만 조사선량(mAs)의 감소가 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 이미 보고 된 많은 연구에서 저선량 CT는 폐질환을 조기 발견하기 위한 선별검사로써 임상에서 사용하기에 유용하지만, 일부 연구에서 조기 폐암을 예측할 수 있는 작은 결절을 발견하는데 낮은 민감도와 특이도를 보였고, 실제 생존율 증가에는 기여하지 못한 보고도 있었다. 따라서, 지금까지의 저선량 CT에 대한 연구결과를 토대로 다양한 위험에 노출된 집단을 대상으로 선량을 감소시키기 위한 연구가 계속적으로 이루어진다면, 향후 저선량 CT촬영은 폐암을 비롯한 폐질환의 조기진단 방법으로써 통상적으로 사용되고 있는 표준 CT촬영을 충분히 대체할 수 있을 것으로 전망한다.
Abstract
As CT has been increasingly used as an accurate screening tool for lung disease, radiation dose becomes an important issue for both radiographers and patients. Many researches have been done for a low-dose CT as a screening tool for early detection of asymptomatic lung diseases. From those studies, it has been reported that chest dose rate from the low-dose CT is considerably lower than from standard CT. The patient dose is determined by scanning parameters such as kVp, mAs, pitch, scan time and the radiation risk of lung in screening examination may not be negligible. Herein, we suggest that Low-dose CT is useful as a screening tool in routine clinical practice on the basis of published articles, but further study is necessary because Low-dose CT has poor sensitivity and specificity for screening early stage of lung cancer according to the results of the studies. This article is to provide a brief overview of the screening examinations by Low-dose CT.
