  이번 에세이에서 알 수 있는 인사이트  

· 유럽과 일본 그리고 국내 환자 방사선량 관리 현황
· 체계적인 방사선량 관리가 필요한 이유
· 방사선량 관리 솔루션 INFINITT DoseM의 세 가지 역할

 

환자 안전에 대한 새로운 접근 필요

의료 패러다임이 환자 중심으로 전환되면서 환자 안전에 대한 새로운 접근이 강조되고 있습니다. 영상의학 분야에서는 ‘방사선량 관리’가 화두인데요. 환자가 받는 의료 방사선량이 꾸준히 증가하고 있기 때문이죠. 또한, 인터벤션(Interventional radiology)·핵의학(Nuclear medicine)·방사선 치료(Radiation therapy)와 같이 일반적인 진단검사에 비해 상대적으로 피폭량이 많은 검사와 치료의 빈도 역시 높아지고 있습니다.

 

유럽과 일본을 중심으로 진행 중인
환자 방사선량 관리 법제화

방사선 방호 국제기구인 국제방사선방호위원회(ICRP·International Commission on Radiological Protection)는 의료 방사선 사용 시 정당화(Justification)*와 최적화(Optimization)**를 고려할 것을 명시하고 있습니다. 전 세계 각국은 국제방사선방호위원회의 권고사항을 토대로 법령과 기준을 수립하는데요. 특히 유럽과 일본은 방사선량 관리를 법제화하고 관리 범위를 점점 넓혀 나가고 있죠. 

지금부터는 유럽과 일본이 방사선량 관리를 법제화하게 된 여러 배경과 세부 시행사항을 알아보겠습니다.

*방사선 사용 시 이로움이 해로움보다 커야 함
**ALARA(As Low As Reasonably Achievable) 원리에 따라 방사선량을 합리적으로 달성할 수 있는 범위에서 낮게 유지해야 함

 

① 유럽 

유럽은 1986년에 발생한 체르노빌 원전 사고로 인해 방사선 방호에 대한 제도화가 비교적 빠르게 시작되었는데요. 유럽연합은 2014년 방사선 방호에 대한 안전 표준지침(European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM)을 제정하고, 발효를 거쳐 2018년 2월을 기준으로 회원국에 해당 지침을 의무화했습니다. 이에 따라 유럽연합의 각 국가들은 해당 법안을 토대로 환자 방사선 방호를 위한 법적 제도와 지침 등을 시행하고 있습니다. 

세부사항 살펴보기*

· 유럽의 모든 의료기관은 의료 방사선 사용 시 정당화(방사선 사용 시 이로움이 해로움보다 커야 함)와 최적화(피폭방사선량은 합리적으로 달성할 수 있는 범위에서 낮게 유지되어야 함)를 고려해야 합니다.

· 방사선 진단 검사 시 유럽 진단참고수준(DRLs·Diagnostic Reference Levels)을 정기적으로 검토하고 사용해야 합니다.

· 가능한 환자 또는 환자 대리인에게 의료 피폭과 관련된 이로움과 해로움에 대한 적절한 정보를 제공해야 합니다.

· 과도한 피폭 또는 사고로부터 환자를 보호하기 위해, 모든 의료기관은 피폭과 관련된 데이터의 수집, 보관, 분석을 위한 적절한 시스템을 구축해야 합니다.

· 방사선 장비 도입 시 의학물리사(Medical Physics Expert)를 선임해야 하며, 의학물리사는 의료진이 의료 방사선을 적정하게 사용할 수 있도록 전문적인 조언을 제공합니다. 

*<COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 2013/59/EURATOM> Official Journal of the European Union, 2014

 

② 일본

일본은 2006년 전 세계에서 처음으로 초고령화 사회로 진입했습니다. 이에 따라 예방의학에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 건강검진 촬영 역시 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있습니다. 또한 2011년 발생한 후쿠시마 원전 사고로 방사선 피폭에 대한 사회적 관심이 매우 높은 편이기도 하죠. 이러한 요인들로 인해 일본에서는 방사선량 관리에 대한 논의가 활발하게 진행되고 있습니다.

세부사항 살펴보기*

· 2018년 4월부터 영상진단관리가산 구분3 보험수가제도가 신설되어, 조건**에 해당하는 병원은 모든 CT 검사의 방사선량 정보를 기록하고 방사선량을 최적화할 경우 건당 추가 보험 수가 300점(3,000엔)을 받을 수 있습니다.

· 2020년 4월부터 일본의 모든 의료기관은 환자 피폭방사선량을 의무적으로 관리하고 최적화해야 합니다.

*<医療法施行規則の一部を改正する省令の施行等について>, 후생노동성 의정국, 2019
**휴일을 포함하여 주·야간 판독이 가능한 6인 이상의 판독의가 상주하는 400병상 이상의 병원

 

유럽과 일본 모두 방사선량 관리 법제화를 통해 환자 방사선량을 능동적으로 최적화하고 있습니다. 국내는 아직까지 환자 방사선량 관리에 대한 법적 규정이 없는 상황인데요. 환자 피폭방사선량이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 정부와 의료계를 중심으로 보다 체계적인 방사선량 관리에 대한 필요성이 제기되고 있습니다.

 

③ 국내

국내 역시 환자의 의료 피폭방사선량이 증가하고 있습니다. 지난 3월, 질병관리청이 발표한 정책연구 용역사업의 연구결과인 <2016년~2019년 진단용 국민의료방사선 건수 및 피폭방사선량 현황 발표*>에 따르면, 2019년 국내 총 의료방사선 촬영 사용량은 약 3.74억 건으로, 2016년 3.12억 건에 비해 약 20% 증가한 수치이며, 연평균 약 6.2%씩 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났습니다. 의료방사선에 의한 전 국민의 집단유효방사선량 역시 2019년 기준 약 125,000 man·Sv로, 2016년 101,000 man·Sv 대비 약 25% 증가했습니다.

*<의료방사선 이용에 따른 국민 방사선량 평가 연구>, 질병관리청, 2020

세부사항 살펴보기

· 질병관리청은 의료영상진단 정당성 가이드라인을 마련하고 의료방사선 검사에 대한 평가 프로그램을 개발하는 등 국민 의료방사선 피폭방사선량을 낮추기 위한 활동들을 전개하고 있습니다.

· 지난해 제21대 국회 입법조사처는 국정감사를 앞두고 ‘의료기관이 환자의 방사선 피폭량 등을 기록·관리하도록 하는 법령상 근거를 마련할 필요가 있다’고 밝혔는데요. ‘의료법 제37조’ 및 ‘진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙’에 관한 개정 검토와, 의약품안심서비스(DUR)에 착안한 방사선 피폭량 실시간 공유 프로그램 개발 검토를 제안**하기도 했습니다.

의료기관의 새로운 경쟁력,
체계적인 환자 방사선량 관리

환자 중심의 의료 패러다임 전환, 환자 안전에 대한 새로운 접근의 요구, 빠르게 증가하는 환자 피폭방사선량, 유럽과 일본 등을 중심으로 전개되고 있는 방사선량 관리 법제화 등 의료 산업의 크고 작은 변화들이 ‘방사선량 관리’라는 물결을 만들고 있습니다. 방사선량 관리는 환자의 신뢰와 의료 서비스의 질을 높이는 새로운 경쟁력으로 자리 잡고 있죠.

국내에서도 방사선량 관리를 통해 환자의 피폭방사선량을 최적화려는 의료기관이 늘고 있습니다. 하지만 많은 양의 방사선 검사와 기기 및 프로토콜별로 발생하는 다양한 변수들로 인해 방사선량 관리에 어려움을 느끼는 경우가 적지 않죠.

 

방사선량 밀착 관리 매니저,
INFINITT DoseM

한발 앞서 준비하는 방사선량 관리, 인피니트헬스케어의 방사선량 관리 솔루션 INFINITT DoseM과 함께 시작할 수 있습니다.

INFINITT DoseM은 다양한 방사선 기기에서 생성되는 방사선량 데이터를 통합하고 계산, 가공해 방사선량 관리에 필요한 인사이트를 손쉽게 도출하고 활용할 수 있도록 지원합니다.

지금부터는 ① 통합 방사선량관리 지원 ② 리스크 매니지먼트 ③ 연구용 데이터 플랫폼 이라는 세 가지 관점에서 INFINITT DoseM이 의료진에게 어떤 도움을 줄 수 있을지 살펴보도록 하겠습니다.

 

① 통합 방사선량관리 지원

INFINITT DoseM은 의료진이 ‘정확한 진단을 위한 영상 획득’과 ‘환자 피폭방사선량 최적화’라는 두 가지 목표를 균형 있게 달성할 수 있도록 통합 방사선량관리에 도움이 되는 인사이트를 제공합니다. 다양한 방사선 기기에서 생성된 방사선량과 프로토콜 정보를 자동으로 수집, 통합하고 유효방사선량, 흡수방사선량 등의 환자 방사선량을 계산해 의료진이 손쉽게 비교하고 분석할 수 있도록 할 수 있도록 지원합니다.

통합 방사선량관리 대시보드

INFINITT DoseM은 의료기관에서 발생한 방사선량 데이터를 한눈에 파악하고 관리할 수 있도록 통합 방사선량관리 대시보드를 제공합니다. 의료진은 직관적인 대시보드를 통해 검사 건수를 파악하고 고방사선량 검사의 원인을 분석하는 등 방사선량관리를 위한 업무 전반을 통합적으로 수행할 수 있습니다.

또한, 대시보드의 Favorite Folder 기능을 통해 특정 장비에서 발생한 방사선량의 추이를 모니터링하거나 기관별, 장비별로 발생한 방사선량을 비교해 프로토콜 개선, 의료진 교육, 장비 관리에 활용할 수 있습니다.


 

 

② 리스크 매니지먼트

아무리 적은 양의 방사선을 사용하더라도, 리스크를 대비할 수 있어야 합니다. 국내 의료법*에서도 환자 및 방사선 관계 종사자가 방사선으로 인한 위해를 입는 것을 방지하기 위해 의료기관에서 설치·운영하는 진단용 방사선 발생장치를 안전하게 관리하도록 규정하고 있는데요. 의료기관의 안전관리책임자는 진단 영상정보 관련 설비의 안전관리와 관계 종사자 교육 등을 의무적으로 시행해야 합니다.

*진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙

INFINITT DoseM은 방사선 발생 장비의 QA(Quality Assurance)·QC(Quality Control)을 위해 비정상적인 방사선량이 발생한 장비를 감지하고 추적하는 기능을 제공합니다. 의료진은 이를 토대로 과도한 피폭이 발생하는 기기와 프로토콜을 확인하고 조치함으로써 기기 및 프로토콜의 기술적 오류와 결함, 휴먼에러로 인한 잠재적인 안전사고를 선제적으로 방지할 수 있습니다.

Dose Trigger

INFINITT DoseM은 사전에 설정한 방사선량 기준을 초과하는 장비를 감지하고, 방사선량 추이를 기록하는 Dose Trigger 기능을 제공합니다. 의료진은 이 기능을 통해 비정상적인 방사선량이 발생한 장비를 확인하고 원인을 파악해 장비의 프로토콜 개선이나 QA·QC 등의 조치를 취할 수 있습니다. 이후 조치를 취한 장비의 방사선량 변화는 대시보드에서 모니터링할 수 있죠. 

 

③ 연구용 데이터 플랫폼

방사선량 관리에 대한 의료계의 관심이 높아지면서, 관련 연구도 늘고 있는 추세인데요. 국가기관에서 진단참조준위(DRLs) 기준을 수립하기 위해 방사선량 데이터를 수집하여 분석하거나, 의료기관이 장비의 촬영 파라미터와 환자 피폭방사선량의 상관관계를 연구하여 임상에 적용하기도 합니다. INFINITT DoseM을 활용하면 연구 목적에 최적화된 통계 결과를 도출하고 데이터 정제 및 시뮬레이션 과정을 최소화할 수 있습니다.

 

기능 살펴보기  
Dose Distribution & CT Simulation

INFINITT DoseM은 방사선량 데이터의 통계적 수치를 분석해 단순한 방사선량 관리를 넘어 방사선량 최적화를 위한 방향을 제시합니다. 의료진은 단일 또는 다수의 의료기관에서 발생한 방사선량 데이터를 INFINITT DoseM을 통해 획득할 수 있는데요. 획득한 데이터를 바탕으로 DRLs(전체 방사선량의 75%ile 값) 기준을 수립하고 업데이트할 수 있습니다.

또한, CT Simulation 기능을 이용해 촬영 파라미터 변화에 따른 환자 피폭방사선량을 시뮬레이션할 수도 있죠. 이처럼 데이터를 능동적으로 활용하고 연구에 적용하는 과정을 통해 ALARA 원리에 입각한 최적화된 방사선량 수준에 도달할 수 있습니다.

 

INFINITT DoseM을 선택해야 하는
또 다른 이유

기존 워크플로우와의 유연한 통합

INFINITT DoseM은 국제 표준인 DICOM, IHE, HIPAA, HL7을 기반으로 PACS, RIS, EMR 등 다양한 의료정보시스템과 원활하게 연동됩니다. 특히 INFINITT PACS를 사용하는 경우, PACS로 전송된 DICOM 영상에서 방사선량 데이터를 바로 추출할 수 있는데요. 중복 전송으로 인한 네트워크 트래픽을 최소화하고 스토리지 비용을 절감할 수 있습니다.

설치가 필요 없는 웹 기반 솔루션

INFINITT DoseM은 별도의 프로그램 설치가 필요 없는 웹 기반 솔루션으로 모바일에서도 쉽고 편하게 사용할 수 있습니다.

환자용 리포트 제공

INFINITT DoseM이 제공하는 환자용 리포트로 환자에게 본인의 방사선 피폭에 대한 충분한 정보를 전달할 수 있습니다.

조영제·핵의학 정보 관리

CT 검사 시 사용한 조영제 정보와 동위원소, 반감기, 투여량 등의 핵의학 검사 정보를 통합 관리 할 수 있습니다.

 

앞서가는 의료기관의 새로운 경쟁력,
체계적인 방사선량 관리

이미 국내 20여 곳, 해외 300여 곳의 의료기관이 INFINITT DoseM으로 의료방사선량을 관리하고 있습니다. 여러분의 곁에서 풍부한 인사이트를 제공하는 INFINITT DoseM과 함께 체계적인 방사선량 관리를 시작해보세요.
