Abstract

In this study, I proposed of an engineering analysis methods due to interference effect within the cyst by ultrasound in the renal ultrasonography. Experimental results, the human can not be found to distinguish interference caused by the ultrasonic echoes within the cyst. The proposed method is used, then in the cyst appears insignificant signal can distinguish the difference. Thus, the misdiagnosis can be prevented in advance.

본 연구에서는 콩팥 초음파 검사에서 발견된 콩팥 낭종 증례에서 낭종 내 초음파 간섭에 의한 허상이 진단에 미치는 영향 정도를 공학적 방법으로 해석하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법으로 실험한 결과 육안적 방법으로 판단한 방법은 초음파 간섭의 효과로 발생하는 낭종 내의 에코를 구별하지 못하고 간과할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 종괴 내의 미미한 신호의 차이를 본 연구에서 수행한 결과를 이용한다면 오진을 사전에 예방할 수 있을 것이다.
