Ultrasound examination using ultrasound equipment is an ultrasound device that images human organs using sound waves and is used in various areas such as diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of diseases. However, if the quality of ultrasound equipment is not guaranteed, the possibility of misdiagnosis increases, and the diagnosis rate decreases. Accordingly, The Korean Society of Radiology and Korea society of Ultrasound in Medicine presented guidelines for quality management of ultrasound equipment using ATS-539 phantom. The DenseNet201 classification algorithm shows 99.25% accuracy and 5.17% loss in the Dead Zone, 97.52% loss in Axial/Lateral Resolution, 96.98% accuracy and 20.64% loss in Sensitivity, 93.44% accuracy and 22.07% loss in the Gray scale and Dynamic Range. As a result, it is the best and is judged to be an algorithm that can be used for quantitative evaluation. Through this study, it can be seen that if quantitative evaluation using artificial intelligence is conducted in the qualitative evaluation item of ultrasonic equipment, the reliability of ultrasonic equipment can be increased with high accuracy.

3상형 박동류는 인체 순환계 혈류의 일반적인 형태이다. 심혈관계의 여러 가지 상황을 모의하려면 이러한 3상형 박동류를 만들어 내는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 3상형 박동류를 모의하기 위해서 전기유압식 좌심실보조기를 유리 팬텀과 고무 튜브와 같이 사용하였으며 혈류 모의 시스템의 제어변수를 선정하고 각 변수들의 변화에 대한 영향을 도플러 초음파를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 본 실험의 결과 협착 후위부 탄성과 지연시간이 3상형 혈류를 생성하는 중요한 요인이었다. 본 실험의 결과들은 다양한 혈류 운동을 모의할 수 있게 해 줌으로써 심혈관계의 여러현상을 설명하는 유용한 도구가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research is to measure real-time temperature distribution inside a tissue-mimicking phantom for the safety and effectiveness evaluations of focused ultrasound (FUS) device capable of linear scanning stimulation. Since the focusing area of the FUS stimulation device is smaller than diameter of conventional thermal probe and keeps moving, it is impossible to monitor temperature distribution inside the phantom. By using the phantom with a thin film temperature sensor array inserted, real-time temperature change caused by the FUS device was measured. The translation of the measured temperature peak was also tracked successfully. The present phantom had been experimentally proven to be applicable to validate the performance and safety of the therapeutic ultrasound devices.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze educational effect of ultrasound examination training with ultrasonic phantom in the department of Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology. Methods: All 4^th grade students in 2021 and 2022 of school of Korean Medicine, Dong-Shin University must be trained in the department of Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology according to ultrasound examination training guideline including Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). After completing ultrasound examination training, we distributed questionnaires to them about a confidence before OSCE and after OSCE, difficulty in using ultrasound, ultrasound reading, difficulty with probe manipulation and computer operation, ultrasound understanding, clinical usefulness. And then, we analyzed the related factors including descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, student's t-test and paired t-test by SPSS 12.0. Results: Confidence in using ultrasound showed differences among students by gender and year, but it was not statistically significant. The difficulty of ultrasound use and ultrasound reading was at a moderate level, and the gender difference was not significant, and the difference between the practical students by year was statistically significant. The difficulty of the operation of the ultrasonic probe was at a normal level, and the difference between the students in practice by gender and year was not statistically significant. Although they answered that they had a very good understanding of the use of ultrasound, there was a gender difference and it was statistically significant, and practical students by year was not statistically significant. They answered that the effect on clinical use was very sufficient, but it was not statistically significant. The appropriateness of the practice time was evaluated at a moderate level. Conclusions: The use and educational effect of ultrasound examination using ultrasonic phantom in the department of Korean Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology clinical practice education was very effective.

호흡운동 조절 방사선치료 시 환자체표면 움직임을 추적하여 실시간 보정하고자 한다. 본 연구에서 사용한 시스템은 치료테이블에 기반을 둔 동 팬텀(CBMP, couch based computer-controlled motion phantom), 초음파 센서 및 제어, 구동, 분석 프로그램 등으로 구성하였다 동물실험 결과 호흡주기는 2.9초이었고, 호흡진폭은 6mm이었다. 실시간 체표면 추적시스템의 유용성 평가에 중요한 항목인 호흡운동 획득-보정간의 지연시간은 $2.34{\times}10^{-4}sec$ 초이어서 호흡운동 조절 방사선치료 시 사용할 수 있는 새로운 실시간 체표면 추적 기술의 임상적용에의 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
