Purpose 3D 프린팅 기술은 3D 스캔이나 모델링을 통하여 적측가공 방식으로 제작하는 기공기술로서 금형 없이 직접 생산이 가능하고 빠른 시간 내에 제작이 가능하여 최근 다양한 산업분야에서 본격적으로 적용되고 있다. 3D 프린팅 기술은 의료분야에 있어, 영상의학 및 방사선 치료분야에서 다양하게 활용되고 있지만 핵의학 분야에서는 관련 연구가 미비한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구는 기존에 적용되고 있는 핵의학분야 팬텀과 3D 프린팅 기술로 제작된 텀의 특성을 비교하고 적용 가능성을 평가하는데 목적을 두었다. Materials and Methods 방사선 투과도 변화측정 국제기준 팬텀인 알루미늄(Aluminum) 계단 쐐기(step wedge)를 기준($140mm{\times}62mm{\times}35mm$)으로 PMMA(Poly Methyl Meta Acrylate)와 ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)재질로 각각 동일한 크기의 팬텀을 제작하였다. PMMA 팬텀은 핵의학 분야에서 주로 적용되는 팬텀의 성분과 동일한 소재로 제작하였고, ABS 팬텀 제작은 3D 프린팅 기술의 액체 기반형의 SLA(Stereo Lithography Apparatus)기법을 사용하여 제작하였다. 본 연구는 SPECT/CT장비 BrightView XCT(Philips Health Care, Cleveland, USA)를 이용하였다. 영상 획득은 Rectangular Flood phantom(Biodex, New York, USA) $^{99m}TcO_4$ 3, 6 mCi와 $^{57}Co$ lood phantom(adqual, New Hampshire, USA) $^{57}Co$ 20 mCi를 이용하여 Aluminum, PMMA, ABS 팬텀에 대해 60 min 리스트모드(List mode)로 획득하였다. 획득한 영상의 분석을 위해 관심영역(ROI)을 설정하여 각 팬텀의 단계별로 평가하였다. Results 방사선원의 종류 및 방사선량에 따라 ABS 팬텀의 계수치는 PMMA 팬텀의 계수치와 유사한 값을 나타내며, 두께의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 감소하였다. Aluminum, PMMA, ABS 팬텀의 선감약계수를 비교했을 때, Aluminum 팬텀의 선감약계수는 나머지 두 팬텀보다 수치가 높았고, PMMA, ABS 팬텀에서는 근사치의 선감약계수가 나타났다. Conclusion 3D 프린팅 기술로 제작된 ABS 팬텀을 기준으로 PMMA 팬텀은 두께가 증가함에 따른 계수치의 변화가 유사하게 선형적으로 감소하였고, 선감약계수도 근사치로 나타내었다. ABS 팬텀의 핵의학적 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 추후 연구를 통해 세부적인 교정치(correction value)를 적용한다면 활발한 적용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

최근 임플란트를 원하고, 필요로 하는 환자가 증가하면서 술전의 정확한 진단이 보다 중요해졌고 다양한 진단방법이 소개되고 이용되어져 왔다. 그 중 보편적으로 가장 널리 사용되어지는 방법이 방사선 촬영법이고 그 중에서도 파노라마방사선사진이다. 하지만 파노라마방사선사진의 용이함과 간편성에도 불구하고 그 방법 자체가 가지고 있는 한계점 때문에 CT/MPR(Computer Tomography/Multiplanar Reformatting)이 일부 환자에서는 반드시 필요하다는 주장이 대다수이다. 본 연구의 목적은 하악 구치부에 임플란트 시술을 받은 환자를 대상으로 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율을 알아보고 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR에서 치조정-하악관간 거리가 실제 어느 정도 차이를 보이는지, 그리고 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 환자의 하악골의 경사도와 하악관의 해부학적 위치가 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 알아보는 것이다. 본 연구는 서울대학 치과병원 치주과를 내원하여 하악구치부에 Dental Implant 시술을 받은 15명의 환자, 32개 부위를 대상으로, 임플란트 시술을 위한 술전 파노라마방사선사진과 CT/MPR, 술후의 파노라마방사선사진, CT/MPR상을 자료로, 임플란트가 식립될 위치에서 치조정에서 하악관의 길이, 하악골의 협설폭경, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관의 수평길이, 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리를 계측하였고 이 해부학적 계측치들이 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 어떤 상관관계에 있는지 Pearson's correlation coefficient test를 이용해 살펴보았다. 1. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골 단면의 협설폭경(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.604), 임플란트 매식체의 설측에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.515), 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리(r=-0.640)와 뚜렷한 음적 선형관계가 있었다. 2. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 장축의 각도와는 뚜렷한 양적 선형관계(Pearson test에서의 상관관계 분석시, 상관계수 r=-0.446)가 있었다. 3. 여러 요소중 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율과 가장 유의성있는 연관성을 보이는 것은 CT/MPR상에서 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리였다(r=-0.640) 4. CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율은 일반적으로 생각되어지는 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율 125%보다 큰, 약 135%로 나왔다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때, 하악골의 설측면에서 하악관까지의 수평거리가 CT/MPR에 대한 파노라마방사선사진의 확대율에 가장 영향을 미치는 요소로 추정되며 확대율은 125%보다 높은 것으로 나타났다.

콘크리트를 통한 핵종의 확산계수는 처분장으로 부터의 핵종 유출을 평가하는데 중요한입력 인자이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트에서의 핵종확산 연구 현황 및 핵종화산에 미치는 주요 인자들의 영향 등이 조사되었고, 주요 핵종의 확산계수가 직접 측정되었다. 내부확산법으로 측정된 확산계수값은 시료의 물과 시멘트 비 (W/C)가 증가할수록 증가하였으나 거의 같은 승수내에 있었으며, 공극확산이 핵종이동을 지배하였다. Cs 과 I 의 겉보기 확산계수는 순수 시멘트에서 각각 $1.0{\times}10^{-12}~1.0{\times}10^{-11}m^2/s$ 및 $3.0{\times}10^{-14}~1.0{\times}10^{-13}m^2/s$, 몰타르에서는 각각 $3.0{\times}10^{-12}~9.0{\times}10^{-11}m^2/s$ 및 $3.0{\times}10^{-11}m^2/s$의 범위에 있었다. 이와 병행하여 시멘트, 몰타르 및 콘크리트에서의 주요 방사성핵종의 확산계수 값을 문헌으로부터 수집, 정리하였다. 대상 핵종은 Cs, I, Sr, C, Co, H, Am, PU, Ni, Mn, Fe, Nb 및 Tc로서 수집된 핵종확산계수 값은 시료의 조건 (공극률 밀도, W/C 비, 온도 등) 에 따라 큰 편차를 보여주고 있다.

SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis) method has been applied to predict the sound radiation power from vibrating machinery. In this study, sound radiation power was predicted from coupled structures by transmission of vibration, which composed of two plates welded into an L shape. The predicted sound radiation power is in agreement within 2 or 3 dB on octave band comparing with values obtained from direct measurements. Also, in order to prove the validity of this method in changes of sound radiation power associated with modifications to structures, rubber pad was stuck on a plate. The results agree approximately within 3 or 5 dB. And SEA method is valuable for the optimal design to reduce the noise. Additionally, this paper suggests that the logarithmic decrement method is valid as the one for finding the loss factor.

Japanese larch specimens with dimension of 2.5 (radial direction) ${\times}$ 2.5 (tangential direction) ${\times}$ 2.5 cm (longitudinal direction) were prepared to determine 3 different directional internal moisture movement coefficients and surface emission coefficients along the radial-, the tangential-, and the tangential-direction. 4 sides of each cubic specimen were wrapped with paraffin tape and rubber tape, leaving open the 2 opposite surfaces of interest, to provide one dimensional moisture movement during drying. The coefficients were determined at three different temperatures, 70, 50 and $30^{\circ}C$ and at two different relative humidities, 30 and 60%. Internal moisture movement coefficients inclusive of flow of free water and diffusion of bound water and water vapor were increased in the high temperature condition. The internal moisture movement coefficient in the longitudinal direction was about six times of those in transverse directions with radial value being 20% greater than the tangential. Surface emission coefficients were increased with temperature and decreased with surface moisture content. Using this results, moisture content (MC) profile and quantities of moisture evaporating in Japanese larch lumber could be predicted in dynamic drying situations.

An experiment measuring the concentration ratios of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{85}Sr$ in fish as an index aquatic animal was performed. The species was Chinese minnow (Rhynchocypris Oxycephalus), a Korean native freshwater species. Chinese minnows were reared in acryl aquarium which was 45 cm wide, 85 cm long and 50 cm high. Water in the aquarium was successively purified using filtering devices attached on the floor and the wall. Fish powder in a particulate form was supplied twice a day for feeding. After a radioactive solution was added to make the initial water concentrations approximately $0.02\;{\mu}Ci/l$ and $0.1\;{\mu}Ci/l$ for $^{137}Cs$ and $^{85}Sr$, respectively, the fish and water were sampled 10 times for a month. The concentration ratios were measured to be $0.348lkg^{-1}\sim13.906lkg^{-1}$ for $^{137}Cs$ and $0.474lkg^{-1}\sim13.089lkg^{-1}$ for $^{85}Sr$.

Geostationary Orbit satellite, unlike other sun-synchronous polar-orbit satellites, will be able to take a picture of a large region several times a day (almost with everyone hour interval). For geostationary satellite, the target region is fixed though the location of sun is changed always. However, Sun-synchronous polar-orbit satellites able to take a picture of target region same time a everyday. Thus Ocean signal is almost same. Accordingly, the ocean signal of a given target point is largely dependent on time. In other words, the ocean signal detected by geostationary satellite sensor must translate to the signal of target when both sun and satellite are located in nadir, using another correction model. This correction is performed with a standardization of signal throughout relative geometric relationship among satellite-sun-target points. This relative ratio called bidirectional factor. To find relationship between time and $[L_w]_N$/Bidirectional Factor differences, we are calculate solar position, geometry parameters. And reflectance, total radiance at the top of atmosphere(). And water leaving radiance, normalized water leaving radiance. And calculate bidirectional factor, that is the ratio of $[L_w]_N$ between target region and aiming the point. Then, we can make the bidirectional factor lookup table for one year imaging. So, we suggested for necessary to simulation experiment bidirectional factor in more various condition(wavelength and ocean/air condition).

Purpose: Recently, there is an increase of the number of hospitals using auto dispenser to reduce occupational radiation exposure when drawing up of the $^{18}F-FDG$ dose (5.18 MBq/kg) in a syringe from the dramatic high activity of $^{18}F-FDG$ multidose vial. The aim of this study is to confirm that using auto dispenser actually reduces the radiation exposure for technologists. Also we analyzed the reproducibility of auto dispenser to find optimized dispensing method for the device. Materials and Methods: We conducted three experiments. Comparison of radiation exposure on chest and hands: The chest and hands exposure dose received by technologists during the injection were measured by electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) and ring TLD respectively. Reproducibility of dispensed volume: We draw up the normal saline into 5 and 2 mL syringe using auto dispenser by changing the volume from 1 to 15 mm for 5 times in the same setting of the volume. The weight of 5 normal saline dispensed from the device at same volume was measured using micro balance and calculated standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Reproducibility of dispensed radioactivity: We dispensed 362.6 $MBq{\pm}10%$ of $^{18}F-FDG$ in 5 and 2 mL syringes from the multidose vial of different specific activity. In the same setting of volume, we repeated dispensing for 4 times and compared standard deviation and coefficient of variation of radioactivity between 5 syringes. Results: There was significant difference in the average of chest exposure dose according to the dispensing methods (P<0.05). Also, when dispensing $^{18}F-FDG$ in manual method, exposure dose was 11.5 times higher in right hand and 4.8 times higher in left hand than in auto method. In the result of reproducibility of dispensed volume, standard deviation and coefficient of variation shows decline as the dispensing volume increases. As a result of reproducibility of dispensed radioactivity, standard deviation and coefficient of variation increases as the specific activity increases. Conclusion: We approved that the occupational radiation exposure dose of technologists were reduced when dispensing $^{18}F-FDG$ using auto dose dispenser. Secondly, using small syringes helps to increase reproducibility of auto dose dispense. And also, if you lower the specific activity of $^{18}F-FDG$ in multidose vial below 915-1,020 MBq/mL, you can use auto dispenser more effectively keeping the coefficient of variation lower than 10%.

The amount and kinds of radionuclide contained in waste volume should be known to prepare for occupational exposure management, perform safety assessment and finally to license a repository. Although the volume of filters and resins are small, activities of them comprise most of the radioactivity that made during power generation. This study aims at developing a method of estimating the radionuclide accumulation at the filters and resins of coolant systems. In this study, accumulated amount of radionuclides is estimated by a computer program which makes use of instantaneous decontamination factor, DF, instead of average DF. A FORTRAN program was developed for the estimation. Data from in-plant source-term measurements at Rancho-Seco nuclear power plant in the United States are employed for verification of the estimating method. And experimental data are employed, too. The instantaneous-DF-method showed smaller error than the average-DF-method. Accumulated amount of radionuclides can be calculated with only the DF and the radionuclide concentration, which are measured periodically according to the operating guide. However, especially, when the operating condition of nuclear power plant changes rapidly, the measuring term of DF and radionuclide should be shortened to ensure the accurate estimation.

In this paper, we suggested the tolerance limits of FAR(Fully Anechoic Room) using correlation factor between OATS(Open area Test Site) to measure EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) and FAR to measure EMS(Electromagnetic Susceptibility). FAR Project(SMT4-CT96-2133), CISPR/A/665/DTR, and CISPR A/665/DTR documents are analyzed and theoretical correlation factor based on the documents and theoretical equations is drawn. To obtain the experimental correlation factor, EUT(Equipment Under Test) is fabricated as well as measured at the 10 m distance OATS and in the 3 m distance FAR. Also, to suggest the tolerance limits of EUT with multi sources, radiation theory for electric and magnetic dipoles is programmed. We drew the correlation factor for EUT with multi sources through the programs. As the tolerance limits of FAR is newly defined, It can be used alternative test site for OATS to measure EMI, efficiently.
