Abstract

Upper gastrointestinal series is a diagnostic test that X-ray passes through the stomach after administering contrast media such as barium or gastrografin. Upper gastrointestinal series with an advantage of no side effect except temporary constipation or abdominal pain has been widely used to diagnose diseases of the gastrointestinal system. However, image degradation and diagnostic accuracy frequently occurred when improper movement and breath control were carried out by lack of understanding the overall inspection process for the upper gastrointestinal series. The movie of the upper gastrointestinal series was made for improving inspection accuracy and image quality. The examinees encouraged to see the movie for waiting time before doing upper gastrointestinal series. In this study, image quality and diagnostic accuracy was examined for the effect of the movie about upper gastrointestinal series. 60 patients composed of each 10 people from 30s to 80s were selected randomly among both 2,940 examinees in 2014 and 3,076 examinees in 2015. Image quality was evaluated by the full width at half maximum of profile for each image using the Image J. The measurement of the full width at half maximum showed 0.208 mm and 0.133 mm for after and before seeing the movie. Thus it was verified that the movie education could improve the image quality and diagnostic accuracy for upper gastrointestinal series.

위장조영검사는 위장에 바륨 또는 가스트로그라핀과 같은 조영제를 투여한 후 X선을 투과하여 진단하는 검사로서 일시적인 변비나 복통 외 특별한 부작용이 없는 것이 장점으로 위장계통의 질환 진단에 많이 이용되고 있다. 하지만 수검자의 검사에 대한 전반적인 이해부족으로 인한 검사 중 부적절한 움직임과 호흡조절로 화질과 검사의 정확성이 저하되는 경우가 빈번히 발생한다. 검사의 정확성 향상과 화질 개선의 방법으로 위장조영검사의 검사 과정과 주의할 점을 동영상으로 제작하여 검사 전 대기시간을 이용하여 시청하게 함으로써, 동영상을 이용한 교육이 화질 개선과 검사의 정확성 향상에 어느 정도 효과가 있는지 조사하였다. 2014년 위장조영검사 수검자 2,940명, 2015년 위장조영검사 수검자 3,076명 중 각각 30대부터 80대까지 10명씩 무작위 선출한 60명을 대상으로 교육 전, 후의 영상을 평가하였다. Image J 프로그램을 이용하여 각 영상의 프로파일에 대한 반치 폭을 측정함으로써 영상을 평가하였다. 반치 폭은 교육 전 0.208 mm, 교육 후 0.133 mm로 나타났다. 따라서 검사 전 동영상교육이 화질 개선에 효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
