구조물의 안전성 평가와 수명예측은 구조물 내 결함에 관한 정확한 정보 즉, 결함의 종류, 크기, 위치, 형상으로 평가하고 있다 이들 결함의 분석과 해석 방법으로 실시간 평가가 가능하고, 구조물에 손상을 주지 않는 비파괴 결함 평가 방법이 널리 활용되고 있다. 특히 방사선투과시험에 의한 결함 해석과 평가는 투과사진 상에 나타나는 결함의 상으로부터 결함 형상과 결함 길이는 직접 확인할 수 있으며, 결함 깊이와 결함 높이의 해석에는 입체방사선투과검사법(Stereo-radiography)과 parallax법 등으로 현재 결함 깊이와 높이를 해석하고 있으나, 이러한 방법은 결함 검출을 위하여 조사방향을 여러방향으로 하여 방사선 투과사진을 다수 촬영하여야 하고, 촬영된 결함의 분석과 해석에도 숙련된 평가 기법이 요구되는 등 많은 문제점을 내포하고 있다.(중략)

This thesis provides the design of system software for the management of radiation dose that is generated using computer tomography(CT). Because radiation exposure is different depending on the difference in sensitivity to each part for each of the patient's body, if we will be able to manage an appropriate amount of radiation, it is possible to estimate the radiation exposure of the patient as a result. Recently, radiation leakage incident of Japanese nuclear power plant was in the news internationally and there is a growing interest not only a nuclear power plant, to medical radiation exposure. In spite of the fact that currently safety management of radiation is under control only the workers of the radiation involved, exposure management of patients until now have been required. Surgery and inspection using the radiation in Korea will increase, due to this medical exposure has increased, but it is a reality that medical institution don't know the level of radiation exposure applied to the patient. Therefore a system for managing the radiation exposure of the patient from the medical institution is required. This paper proposes a design of a software program to manage the radiation exposure of CT is an typical imaging tool to use the radiation in the medical institution. By check the amount of radiation dose and set the limit of dose, we would help to optimize the medical exposure of the patient.

Purpose :To investigate whether changes in plasma concentrations of transforming growth factor-$\beta$1(TGF-$\beta$1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) could be used to identify the development of radiation-induced pneumonitis in the lung cancer patients. Methods and Materials :Seventeen patients with lung cancer (11 NSCLC, 6 SCLC) were enrolled in a prospective study designed to evaluate clinical and molecular biologic correlation of radiation-induced pneumonitis. The study began in May 1998 and completed in July 1999. All patients were treated with radiotherapy with curative intent : 1.8 Gy per day, 5 fractions per week. Serial measurements of plasma TGF-$\beta$1, TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 were obtained in all patients before, weekly during radiotherapy and at each follow-up visits after completion of treatment. These measurements were quantified using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All patients were evaluated for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis at each follow-up visit after completion of radiotherapy. High resolution CT (HRCT) scans were obtained when signs and symptoms of pneumonitis were developed after completion of radiotherapy. Results : Thirteen patients eventually developed signs and symptoms of clinical pneumonitis 씬file four patients did not. TGF-$\beta$ 1 levels were elevated in all 13 patients with pneumonitis, which showed characteristic pattern of elevation (38.45 ng/ml at pretreatment, 13.66 ng/ml during radiotherapy, then 60.63 ng/ml at 2-4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy). The levels of TNF- $\alpha$ and IL-6 were also elevated In the group of patients who developed pneumonitis but the pattern was not characteristic. Conclusions : Changes in plasma TGF$\beta$-1 levels before, during and after radiotherapy appears to be a useful means by which to identify patients at risk for the development of symptomatic pneumonitis. Other cytokines like TNF- $\alpha$ and IL-6 shows no meaningful changes in association with radiation pneumonitis.

Current medical institutions with the development of medical technology to the increased demand for health use of radiation equipment is increasing rapidly. Direct radiation from the patient receives the aim of reducing exposure as much as possible is important and the spatial dose of scattered radiation with in the space to engage in reducing healthcare physician, radiation workers and carers need to reduce indirect exposure. X-ray radiation workers and caregivers in the X-ray room to wearing of protective clothing is advised. However Radiation worker sand caregivers of patients with secondary is done, by wearing protective clothing to wear protective clothing because of the weight and discomfort have been neglected. In this study, based on the presence or absence of clothing scattered radiation from space to measure distances, depending on the horizontal and height by measuring the angle of the importance of wearing protective clothing were investigated.

In this study, microbes were collected before and after disinfection using ANIOS(ANIOSURF Premium NPC) and compared the areas where the radiological technologist and the patient frequently contacted the chest X-ray. From September 1st to September 7th, 2020. in P Hospital in Deagu, 4 region were collected in a 10×10 size using a sterile cotton swab of the transport medium, and before and after disinfection results were obtained through the colorimetric method. As a result, n the X-ray tube handle Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus spp., Candida spp., and in the Chin region Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcu faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, NTM, and in the Chest region Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcu faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and in the Palm region NTM, Candida spp. were detected, and 103 CFU(Colony Forming Unit) or more were measured. After disinfection, only X-ray tube handle was detect Bacillus spp. and more than 102 CFU was measured. Microorganisms found prior to disinfection can cause opportunistic infections, Experimental results showed that Aniosulf(0.25%) is more economical and disinfectant than ethanol(70-90%) and isopropyl alcohol(70-90%). However, further research is needed on the detection of Bacillus spp. resultingly this research is useful basic data of infection control in Radiography room and prevention secondary infections.

X-ray Chest P-A is very important and basic diagnosis examination for pregnant women. For a pregnancy period pregnant women should be treated very carefully not to be exposed to any radiation which might cause harmful damage to women and babies as well. Lead apron is one of the effective methods to protect pregnant women from the X-ray radiation. However, it is difficult to obtain the accurate position of pregnant women during X-ray Chest P-A since conventional lead apron method forces pregnant women to hold the apron by themselves only to make pregnant women very uncomfortable and hard to maintain accurate position during radiation. As a consequence, it is common to get low quality images of X-ray Chest P-A due to the overlap of apex of lung and scapular. In order to fix this problem, we made new design lead apron that allowed pregnant women to be more comfortable to maintain accurate position during X-ray Chest P-A position. Finally, with this new design lead apron, it was possible to get the best optimized images of X-ray Chest P-A of pregnant women by minimizing overlapping apex of lung and scapular.
