Coincidence summing correction effects are known to be greater as the efficiency of the detector increases and as the distance between the source and the detector increases. A point source($^{60}Co$) was used to vary the distance in the direction of the detector's center axis and in the radial direction to obtain the P/T ratio for Coincidence summing correction calibration. In this study, values for coincidence summing corrected calibration of the values in the central and radial directions were applied to the mixed volume source(450 ml CRM source) to compare the overall peak efficiency change according to P/T with Geant4. In addition, the efficiency obtained from the mapping method is applied to the seaweed, a marine sample, and the compatibility of the P/T ratio with the detector and sample very dose together. The efficiency corrected to 1,836 keV was applied to the energy zone affected by the efficiency of 500 keV and the relative error of the measured and corrected values was well matcched by the 3.2 % peak efficiency correction. As with 450 mL CRM source, the larger the volume, the lower the P/T ratio was by ${\pm}5%$. This is due to the increased scattering of gamma-rays emitted as the source becomes farther away from the detector, and this change in P/T has been confirmed to affect the Coincidence summing corrected peak efficiency.

The use of high dose rate remote afterloading system for the treatment of intraluminal lesions necessitates the need for a more accurate of dose distributions around the high intensity brachytherapy sources, doses are often prescribed to a distance of few centimeters from the linear source, and in this range the dose distribution is very difficult to assess. Accurated and optimized dose calculation with stable numerical algorithms by PC level computer was required to treatment intraluminal lesions by high dose rate brachytherapy system. The exposure rate from sources was calculated with Sievert integral and dose rate in tissue was calculated with Meisberger equation, An algorithm for generating a treatment plan with optimized dose distribution was developed for high dose rate intraluminal radiotherapy. The treatment volume becomes the locus of the constrained target surface points that is the specified radial distance from the source dwelling positions. The treatment target volume may be alternately outlined on an x-ray film of the implant dummy sources. The routine used a linear programming formulism to compute which dwell time at each position to irradiate the constrained dose rate at the target surface points while minimizing the total volume integrated dose to the patient. The exposure rate and the dose distribution to be confirmed the result of calculation with algorithm were measured with film dosimetry, TLD and small size ion chambers.

For Deleuze, the frame is a closed system with numerous subsets of information. the frame can be defined by mathematics and physics. it is a geometric system of equilibrium and harmony with variables or coordinates. like paintings, Linear perspective represents a three-dimensional depth in a two-dimensional plane through vanishing points, horizontal lines in the frame. Linear perspective makes it possible to assume the infinity towards the vanishing point and the infinity towards the outside of the frame, the opposite of the vanishing point. Not only figures and lines in the drawing paper, but also the space between the figures and lines in the drawing paper was recognized. that is space, the 3rd dimension. with the centripetal force and centrifugal force of the frame, frame follow the physical rules of power and movement. de framing is against the dominant linear perspective and central tendency of the frame. The film contains four-dimensional time while reproducing three-dimensional space in two dimensions. It may be that the outside of the frame, or outside the field of view, contains thought, the fifth dimension.

Computational and experimental dosimetry of Henschke applicator with respect to high dose rate brachytherapy using the MIRD phantom and a remote control afterloader were performed. A comparison of computational dosimetry was made between the simulated Monte Carlo dosimetry and GAMMADOT brachytherapy Planning system's dosimetry. Dose measurements was performed using ion chamber in a water phantom. Dose rates are calculated using Monte Carlo code MCNP4B and the GAMMADOT. Thecomputational models include the detailed geometry of Ir-192 source, tandem tube, and shielded ovoids for accurate estimation. And transit dose delivered during source extension to and retraction from a given dwell position was estimated by Monte Carlo simulations. Point doses at ICRU bladder/rectal pointswhich have been recommened by ICRU 38 was assessed. Calculated and measured dose distribution data agreed within 4% each other. The shielding effect of ovoids leads to 19% and 20% dose reduction at bladder surface and rectal points.

Scatter correction for I-131 plays a very important role to improve image quality and quantitation. I-131 has multiple and higher energy gamma-ray emissions. Image quality and quantitative accuracy in I-131 imaging are degraded by object scatter as well as scatter and septal penetration in the collimator. The purpose of this study was to estimate scatter and septal penetration and investigate two scatter correction methods using Monte Carlo simulation. The gamma camera system simulated in this study was a FORTE system (Phillips, Nederland) with high energy, general-purpose, parallel hole collimator. We simulated for two types of high energy collimators. One is composed of lead, and the other is composed of artificially high Z number and high density. We simulated energy spectrum using a point source in air. We estimated both full width at half maximum (FWHM) and full width at tenth maximum (FWTM) using line spread function (LSF) in cylindrical water phantom. We applied two scatter correction methods, triple energy window scatter correction (TEW) and extended triple energy window scatter correction (ETEW). The TEW method is a pixel-by pixel based correction which is easy to implement clinically. The ETEW is a modification of the TEW which corrects for scatter by using abutted scatter rejection window, which can overestimate or the underestimate scatter. The both FWHM and FWTM were estimated as 41.2 mm and 206.5 mm for lead collimator, respectively. The FWHM and FWTM were estimated as 27.3 mm and 45.6 mm for artificially high Z and high density collimator, respectively. ETEW showed that the estimation of scatter components was close to the true scatter components. In conclusion, correction for septal penetration and scatter is important to improve image quality and quantitative accuracy in I-131 imaging. The ETEW method in scatter correction appeared to be useful in I-131 imaging.

The clinical application of the three-dimensional radiographic technique had been limited to standard Broadbent-Bolton cephalometer with biplanar stereoradiography. We developed a new method for compensating the error of head position in ordinary non-biplanar cephalostat. It became to possible to use the three dimensional cephalogram commonly in clinical bases. 1. The method of methemetical compensation of head positioning error in non-biplanar condition was evaluated with dry skull. The error of the method of first and the second trial was $0.46{\pm}1.21$, $0.33{\pm}0.90mm$, which means the error of the head positioning correction in conventional cephalogram was within clinical acceptance. 2. The reproducibility of this system for clinical application was 0.54 mm ($-2.99{\sim}2.26mm$) which defines the absolute mean difference of the first and second trial. Compare to the The landmark identification error $1.2{\pm}1.6mm$, the error of the measurement was within the range of landmark identification error. The result indicates the adequate clinical accuracy of the computation of three-dimensional coordinates by compensation of the error of the head position in ordinary non-biplanar cephalostat.

IMO는 해양사고의 80% 이상이 인적과실에 기인하고 있음에 관심을 갖고 ISM Code를 채택 시행하고 있으며, 이로 인해 해양사고의 발생률은 줄었으나, 여전히 인적과실이 해양사고의 주요 요인이 되고 있으며, 특히 선원의 피로가 기여하는 바가 크다는 점에 주목하였다. 이에 IMO STW전문위원회에서는 1999년 11월에 개최된 제21차 회의에서 채택된 안전승무기준에 관한 결의서 A.890(21)의 개정이 필요하며, 현행 SOLAS협약 상 각 체약국 정부가 자체적으로 정하여 시행하고 있는 최소안전승무기준을 통일시켜 국제적으로 일관된 기준에 따라 적절히 시행될 수 있도록 노력하고 있다. 이 논문은 IMO STW전문위원회 논의결과 마련된 최소 안전승무기준의 주요내용과 향후 전망에 대해 알아보도록 한다.

붕소 중성자 포획 요법(BNCT, Boron Neutron Capture Therapy)용 열외중성자빔의 개발을 위하여 방사성 동위원소인 Cf-252를 중성자 선원으로 사용하였으며 상대적으로 낮은 중성자속을 높이기 위하여 미임계 증배 집합체를 이용하였다. 이전에 계시된 미임계 증배 집합체는 높은 핵연료 농축도를 필요로 하는 단점이 있어 본 연구에서는 이를 감소시키기 위한 몇 가지 설계안을 제시하였다. 중성자빔 설계를 위하여 몬테칼로 방법을 이용한 전산코드인 MCNP를 이용, 타원형두뇌 팬텀 내에서 AD, AR ADDR및 각각의 선량성분 등을 계산함으로써 설계된 중성자빔의 특성분석을 수행하였다. 새롭게 개선되어 제시된 중성자빔의 설계는 상대적으로 낮은 핵연료 농측도를 보이면서 기존의 결과와 유사한 결과를 보여주고 있으며 특히 두뇌 팬텀 내에서의 선량률은 기존에 비해 매우 높은 값을 보임으로써 짧은 시간에 효과적으로 뇌종양을 치료할 수 있는 이 점이 있다.
