균형 조절 능력 저하를 진단하고 치료하기 위해서는 자세 조절 능력을 객관적으로 평가하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 임상에서 사용하는 자세검사기는 고감도 압력센서를 사용하기 때문에 종래의 임상적 검사보다 객관적이고 정량적으로 자세 불안정성을 평가할 수 있다. 하지만 일반적으로 사용하는 자세검사기는 차지하는 공간이 크고 비싼 가격 때문에 소규모 병원이나 개인이 사용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 키넥트와 위 밸런스 보드에서 획득한 정보를 이용하여 자세 불안정성을 평가하는 저비용 자세검사 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 자세검사 시스템을 실제 임상 환경에 적용한다면 간편하고 정량적으로 자세 조절 능력을 평가할 수 있는 환경을 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The acute lumbar pain patients who were unavoidable to take MRI examination were made to take altered lateral recumbent position. they were also not able to control their painfulness and to be in supine position. In this study, it is supposed to increase success rate of the MRI examination through taking the altered lateral recumbent position in using spine and body matrix coil. This altered position made relaxing lumber pain and fatigue for the patients who suffered from sever lumber pain. In these reasons, it decreases the motion artifacts through correcting uncomfortable posture. As a result, qualitative analysis for the image quality was estimated to have average points of supine position A group(lateral recumbent position) of normal candidates and B group(lateral recumbent position) of the abnormal candidates who have sever pain at 4.64, 3.44, and 3.40, respectively. In conclusion, while qualitative analysis in the examination with supine position of the normal patients had significantly high points, the qualitative analysis in the examination with lateral recumbent position of the normal patients and abnormal patients who had sever lumbar pain was almost same. In addition, it was judged that radiologists' imagery interpretation had no other problems in the image evaluation of B group who had acute lumbar pain of abnormal patients. Hereupon, if this technique becomes generalized for the patients who suffer from supine position in the examination, it is supposed to be useful in medical field.

Pulmonary function test (PFT) is a test method to determine respiratory disease. In order to obtain accurate PFT results, it is absolutely necessary to induce the inspector and cooperate with the patient. This study was to observe the importance of understanding and posture of the patient in spirometry. In 2016, 110 healthy experimenter performed spirometry; 1) only heard the explanation, 2) watching video and inspector,s demonstration, 3) twisting legs and bending shoulder. FVC, $FEV_1$, $FEV_1/FVC$, $FEF_{25-75%}$, PEF were measured by spirometry. FVC, $FEV_1$, $FEV_1/FVC$, $FEF_{25-75%}$, PEF were significantly increased before and after the understanding the test method. There was a significant difference in FVC, $FEV_1$, and PEF in the false posture. Reproducibility was significantly different in the experimenter' comprehension and false posture. This study provides accurate understanding of the patient and correct posture should be maintained during the examination to obtain correct and reproducible results of PFT.

In this study, radiation doses of major organs in various postures in lower extremity teleography were measured and compared to investigate the utility of the test methods. Ten adult males who underwent lower extremity teleography at a tube voltage of 73 kVp, tube current of 32 mAs, and SID of 180 cm. Using rando phantom, glass dosimeter was attached to the eye lens, thyroid gland, and genital gland to measure the radiation dose in each area 5 times in each anteroposterior posture and posteroanterior posture. The results were compared and analyzed through Paired T-test. The images from the anteroposterior posture and posteroanterior posture were evaluated through the blind test on a scale of 5. As a result, the posteroanterior method could reduce the dose than the anteroposterior posture method: less dose for the eye lens by 6%, thyroid gland by 6%, and genital gland by 26%. Since there was no significant difference in image evaluation, the posteroanterior posture is considered better than the anteroposterior posture in lower extremity teleography.

Whole spine scanography (WSS) is a radiological examination that exposes the whole body of the individual being examined to x-ray radiation. WSS is often repeated during the treatment period, which results in a much greater radiation exposure than that in routine x-ray examinations. The aims of the current study were to evaluate the patient dose of WSS using computer simulation, image magnification and angulation of phantom image using different patient position. We evaluated the effective dose(ED) of 23 consecutive patients (M : F = 13:10) who underwent WSS, based on the automatic image pasting method for multiple exposure digital radiography. The Anterior-Posterior position(AP) and Posterior-Anterior position( PA) projection EDs were evaluated based on the PC based Monte Carlo simulation. We measured spine transverse process distance and angulation using DICOM measurement. For all patient, the average ED was 0.069 mSv for AP position and 0.0361 mSv for PA position. AP position calculated double exposure then PA position. For male patient, the average ED was 0.089 mSv(AP) and 0.050 mSv(PA). For female patient, the average ED was 0.0431 mSv(AP) and 0.026 mSv(PA). The transverse process of PA spine image measured 5% higher than AP but angulation of transverse process was no significant differences. In clinical practice, just by change the patient position was conformed to reduce the ED of patient. Therefor we need to redefine of protocol for digital radiography such as WSS. whole spine scanography, effective dose, patient exposure dose, exposure direction. protocol optimization.
