Purpose: The number of patients receiving radiotherapy has increased every year and will keep increasing in the future. Therefore, the technique of radiotherapy is developing from day to day, as a result of it, the quantities of image and data used for radiotherapy are also considerably increasing. Therefore, there have been many difficulties in storing, keeping and managing them. Then, we developed and applied this system for improving complicated work process as well as solving these problems with the collaboration Medical Information Team. Materials and Methods: We exported its image at R & V (Record and Verify: Varis vision, Varian, USA) system and planning system after giving some code to be able to access from management system(RO) for department of radiation oncology to PACS. And, we programmed their information by using necessary information among many information included in DICOM head. Results: All images and data generated by our working environment (Simulation CT, L-gram image and internal body structure, DRR, does distribution )were realized at PACS and it became to be possible for clear image to be printed from any computer in department of radiation oncology. Conclusion: It was inevitable to use film during radiotherapy for patients in the past, however, due to the development of this system, film-less system became to be possible. Therefore, the darkroom space and its management cost in relation to the development process disappeared and it became to be unnecessary for spending tangible and intangible financial expense including human resources, time needed for finding film storing space and film and purchasing separate storing equipment for storing images. Finally, we think this system would be very helpful to handle ail complicated processes for radiotherapy and increasing efficiency of overall working conditions.

Digital Mammography makes it possible to reproduce the entire breast image. And it is used to detect microcalcification and mass which are the most important point of view of nonpalpable early breast cancer, so it has been used as the primary screening test of breast disease. It is reported that microcalcification of breast lesion is important in diagnosis of early breast cancer. In this study, six types of texture features algorithms are used to detect microcalcification on breast US images and the study has analyzed recognition rate of lesion between normal US images and other US images which microcalification is seen. As a result of the experiment, Computer aided diagnosis recognition rate that distinguishes mammography and breast US disease was considerably high 70~98%. The average contrast and entropy parameters were low in ROC analysis, but sensitivity and specificity of four types parameters were over 90%. Therefore it is possible to detect microcalcification on US images. If not only six types of texture features algorithms but also the research of additional parameter algorithm is being continually proceeded and basis of practical use on CAD is being prepared, it can be a important meaning as pre-reading. Also, it is considered very useful things for early diagnosis of breast cancer.

방사선을 센싱하는 센서들에는 어려 종류가 있으며, 그 센서에 따라서 감도나 센싱방식이 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 해상도가 높은 범용 CCD 센서를 이용하여 방사선을 검출하는데, 감도를 높이기 위해서 신실레이터라는 물질을 CCD CHIP 앞에 부착하였고, 들어오는 영상에서 방사선에 반응하여 생기는 백색량을 처리하여 방사선량을 측정할 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 또한 Panning을 하며 공간상에서 방사선이 가장 많이 나오는 포인터를 제시할 수 있다. 추후 스테레오 카메라 방식을 구현하여 방사선원까지의 거리 산출과 영상을 합성하여 입체화 시키는 연구도 진행할 예정이다. 논 연구의 결과물로 예기치 않은 방사선 사고의 경우 효과적인 사고처리에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

차폐시설내에서 고방사성 물질이 이송되는 경우에 수송대상 핵물질의 이송경로를 감시하는 분석방법을 개발하였다. 이방법은 디지탈화하여 화상처리된 카메라 영상정보와 NDA 장비 및 NCC 프로그램에 의해 모니터링된 방사선 신호를 실시간으로 통합 분석하는 신경회로망 기법에 기초하고 있다. 핵물질의 경로와 핵물질의 종류 및 용기의 종류를 파악할 수 있는 이 방법은 정상적인 움직임과 비정상적인 움직임을 판단하여 차폐시설의 보장조치 체계를 구축할 수 있으며, DUPIC 핵연료 제조 시설 같은 새로운 시설의 보장조치 시스템의 일부로 활용될 수 있다.

By applying the various energy spectrum imaging functions of DECT, To quantitatively distinguish between contrast agent and calcification, changes in image quality are analyzed by comparing CNR and SNR. We investigated the level of dose reduction during two scans and one VNC scan. As a result, contrast agent and calcification were best distinguished in the 70 keV area, CNR and SNR were excellent, and scan dose was reduced by about 26.5%. Therefore, by applying DECT, meaningful results were obtained that could visually and quantitatively distinguish between the intravascular contrast agent and the shade of calcification. If clinical research is conducted in the future considering the patient's age, gender, and body type, quantitative analysis of calcification will be possible even with intravascular contrast agent flowing in, which will have a significant effect in reducing the patient's scan dose and the burden of multiple scans.

Purpose : The goal of this study was to survey the quality control of mammographic phantom images in some area. Methods : Between May and June, 2005, I have got a total of 47 mammographic phantom images collected from 49 hospitals and were analized about phantom score of fibrous, speck, tumor with enlargement scope. By critic level of experimental mammographic phantom case images, classified through the pass case that fibrous score 4, speck score 3, tumor score 3 over. Result : It passed 33case (70.3%), failed 14 case (29.7%) about 47 case. Passing case images showed tube voltage $23{\sim}30\;kVp$, tube current $20{\sim}60\;mAs$, photographic density $0.48{\sim}1.77$ Conclusion : It passed case about 70.3% of mammographic phantom image in some area. Optimum range of tube voltage, tube current, photographic density have to use to get fine quality of mammographic images.

This review was described to investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound as an image tool for interventions of lumbar spine. This article will first provide an overview of lumbosacral spine surface anatomy and sonoanatomy. A detailed understanding of anatomy is critical for interpretation of ultrasound and procedural performance at spine. Fluoroscopy is most commonly used in interventional spine procedures, but radiation exposure is the major concern when obtaining fluoroscopic images. Ultrasound is radiation-free, is easy to use, and can provide real-time images with high accuracy. Also this device can be used in virtually any clinical setting. Ultrasound guidance offers a reliable alternative to fluoroscopy or computed tomography for lumbar interventions and can be safely performed without radiation exposure.
