However, MRI causes serious noises while coils move to generate a strong magnetic field and the noises are giving serious physical and psychological distress to the patients. For this reason, various studies are needed to reduce the noises generated from MRI operation; however, South Korea has had very few relevant studies or data. From this perspective, this study analyzed the effectiveness of the methods of increasing the absorption elements within MRI rooms and wearing hearing protection device in reducing noises generated from MRI operation. As a result of the study, the magnetic field strength of.3t was lowered to 6dB(A) only by increasing absorbing power within MRI rooms or wearing hearing protection device. However, good measures should be taken for 1-3T of a magnetic field 6dB(A), which can significantly affect patients. Applying both methods lowered the noise level so that it had no effect on patients with 38.4-58.4dB(A), with the exception of D Source with 3T for intensity of a magnetic field. Moreover, D Source with 64.1-67.1dB(A) for 3T is expected to have no significant effect on patients if exposure time is not long. It is expected, therefore, that the efforts to increase absorbing power within MRI rooms and wear hearing protection device will provide a stable examination environment to patients getting an MRI scan. This plan for reducing noises is expected to be useful in developing a measure against noises generated from MRI operation.

MRI 실의음향성능개선및방음보호구착용을통한 MRI 소음저감대책 219 요지현대의학에쓰이는 MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 는자기장을발생시켜각조직에서나오는신호의차이를측정하여영상화하는기술로서최근그정확성과방사선에노출되지않아인체에무해하다는장점으로인해많이사용되어지는검사방법이다. 그러나이러한 MRI는강한자기장을발생시키기위해코일이움직이는과정에서매우심각한소음이발생하게되며, 이러한소음으로인해검사를받는환자들에게물리적 심리적고통을주고있다. 따라서 MRI 작동소음저감을위한다양한연구들이필요하나국내의경우아직까지이에대한연구와자료들이매우부족한상황이다. 이러한관점에서본연구에서는 MRI작동소음저감을위해 MRI실내부의흡음요소를증가시키는방법과방음보호구를착용하는방법에따른소음저감효과를분석하였다. 연구결과자기장의세기.3T는내부흡음력증가나방음보호구착용중한가지방법만으로도 6dB(A) 이하로낮아져별다른문제가없었다. 그러나자기장의세기가 1 3T인경우에는대부분 6dB(A) 이상으로나타나환자들에게많은영향을주기때문에적절한대책이필요할것으로판단된다. 따라서 2가지방법을모두사용하면자기장의세기가 3T인 D Source 를제외하고는 38.4 58.4dB(A) 로나타나환자에게영향을주지않는정도로소음레벨이낮아졌다. 뿐만아니라 3T의 D Source 의경우도 64.1 67.1dB(A) 로나타나폭로시간이길지않을경우환자들에게큰영향을미치지는않을것으로판단된다. 따라서 MRI실내부의흡음력을증가시키고방음보호구를착용할경우 MRI 진료를받는환자들에게안정적인진료환경을제공할수있을것으로판단된다. 이러한소음저감대책방안은향후 MRI 작동소음의저감대책을수립하는데유용한자료로활용될수있을것으로사료된다. 핵심용어 : MRI실, MRI 작동소음, 소음저감, 방음보호구 Ⅰ. 서론 현대의학에쓰이는 MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) 는자기장을발생하는자기공명장치에인체를넣고고주파를발생시켜신체와공명하는데이때나오는신호의차이를측정하여컴퓨터로영상화시키는장치로기존의 X선촬영이나 CT와는달리비전리방사선인고주파를이용하는검사로인체에해가없고, 다양한정보를한번에볼수있다는장점이있어많이사용되어지는의료진단기기이다. 그러나 MRI 는자기장을발생하기위해코일이움직이는과정에서지속적인심각한소음이발생하여검사를받는환자들에게심리적인불안감을주며이로인해검사의정확도도떨어질수있다. 이러한관점에서최근 MRI 작동소음특성및저감을위한연구들이발표되었다. 1,2) 따라서본연구에서는이러한연구자료를토대로 MRI 작동소음저감을위해 MRI실내부의흡음요소를증 가시키는방법과방음보호구를착용하는방법에따른소음저감효과를분석하고자하였으며이러한소음이환자에게어느정도영향을미치는지알아보았다.

MRI실흡음력증가에따른소음저감 MRI실에서사용되는 MRI 기기는강한자기장을발생시키고있어소음측정장비를반입할경우오작동및파손으로인해현장실험을통한 음향성능평가가불가능하였다. 따라서본연구에서는음선추적법 (Ray-tracing method) 과허상법 (Image model method) 에의한 3차원컴퓨터시뮬레이션 (Odeon 14.3) 을이용하여음향성능평가지수를분석하였다. 음향시뮬레이션을이용한각 MRI실의음선추적도는 Fig. 2 와같다. 음향시뮬레이션을이용하여개선전 후소음레벨의변화를파악해보면 Table 3과같다. Table 3에서추출된소음레벨개선량은음향시뮬레이션을통한개선전 후음압레벨의변화량이다. 따라서이러한개선량을토대로개선전 MRI 작동시발생하는소음레벨과 MRI실내부흡음력을증가시킨후 MRI Source 별소음레벨의변화를파악해보면 Fig. 3과같다. 또한사용된 MRI Sourec 는 WN(MRI 기계의자력과온도유지를위해사용 ), T 1 ( 해부학적정보가필요할경우사용 ), T 2 ( 병리학적정보가필요할경우사용 ), D ( 뇌졸중의진행단계와치유과정을관측하는데사용 ), G( 출혈을진단하는데사용 ) 등 5가지이며본연구에서는 WN Source 는개선전모두 소음의건강보전한계 인 6dB(A) 이하로나타나분석에서제외하였다. 소음이인체에미치는영향은 Table 4와같고, MRI 작동시발생하는소음을이러한기준과비교해보면 Table 5와같다.

Ⅴ. 결론 본연구는 MRI 작동소음을저감하기위해 MRI실내부의흡음요소를증가시키는방법과방음보호구착용을통한소음저감방안에대해그효과및영향을평가한연구로그결과는다음과같다. 1) MRI 자기장의세기가.3T 인경우 MRI 실내부의흡음력을증가시키는방법이나방음보호구를착용하는방법중한가지만사용할경우 MRI 작동소음이모든 Source 에서 6dB(A) 이하로나타나환자에게영향을주지않고있다. 따라서한가지방법만사용하여도 MRI 작동소음으로인한영향을최소화할수있다. 2) MRI 자기장의세기가 1 3T의경우 MRI 실내부의흡음력을증가시키면 MRI 작동소 음은 65.2 94.dB(A), 귀마개착용은 47.2 69.2 db(a), 귀덮개착용은 52.1 72.2dB(A) 로나타나외이도를직접막을수있는귀마개착용이가장효과적이었다. 그러나 MRI 작동소음이대부분 6dB(A) 이상으로나타나환자에게피해가예상되므로이에대한대책마련이필요하다. 3) MRI 자기장의세기가 1 3T의경우 MRI 작동소음을저감하기위해서 MRI실내부의흡음력증가와방음보호구착용의 2가지방법을동시에사용하면자기장의세기가 3T인 D Source 를제외하고는모두 38.4 58.4dB (A) 로나타났다. 또한 D Source 도 64.1 67.1dB(A) 로나타나소음레벨이높지않고폭로시간도짧아환자들에게큰영향을주지는않을것으로사료된다. 따라서 MRI작동소음저감을위해 2가지방법을동시에사용할경우환자들에게안정적인진료환경을제공할수있을것으로판단된다.
