Abstract

In this study, we conducted a survey on the limited examinations of the DR system to the 30 radiologic technologists engaging in the clinical sites and university hospitals in Daejeon metropolitan city from Oct. 15, 2012 to Nov. 15, 2012. Based on the survey results, we propose the conceptual design of a supplementary table for the conventional DR system to extend the examination capability and overcome the limitation of DR system. And, we evaluated the convenience and usefulness of the proposed table by applying it to five subjects. Ten experts were involved to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the obtained images. In this study, the experimental results show the feasibility to overcome the limited examination of the conventional DR system, and the proposed supplementary table may be beneficial to patients and hospitals.

본 연구는 단순움직임형검출기 DR 시스템에서 발생되는 한계 검사 극복을 위해 2012년 10월 15일부터 2012년 11월 15일까지 총 31일간 대전광역시 소재 종합병원 및 대학병원에 일반촬영 업무를 담당하고 있는 방사선사 30명을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 설문을 통하여 임상요구도를 조사하고 이를 바탕으로 보조테이블을 개념 설계하여 요구도에 부합하는 검사법 적용실험과 이를 통해 얻어진 영상의 유용성 평가를 단계적으로 시행하였다. 본 연구에서는 9가지 검사에 대한 검사법 적용실험을 수행하였으며, 실험 결과의 유용성을 평가한 결과 임상적으로 매우 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 연구 결과에서 제안한 한계 검사 극복을 위한 보조테이블을 임상 실무에 적용한다면, 기존 단순움직임형검출기 DR 시스템의 한계 검사를 극복하여 시스템의 임상 활용도를 극대화시킬 수 있다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
