chest Indirect radiography were taken at 44 medical facilities in Seoul area. The results were as follows: 1. The average tube voltage was 98.2 kVp in case of 100 mm film and 91.3 kVp in case of 70 mm film. 2. The average tube current was 18.1 mAs in case of 100 mm film and 42.5 mAs in case of 70 mm film. 3. In the physical evaluation of chest Indirect radiographs, the density in case of 100 mm film was similar to that in case of 70 mm film. 4. In the visual evaluation of chest Indirect radiographs, the score of identification in case of 100 mm film was higher than that in case of 70 mm film. 5. The average dose of radiation into the skin was 1.38 mGy in case of 100mm film and 4.59 mGy in case of 70 mm film. In conclusion, the image quality of chests was excellent and the dose of radiation into the skin decreased in case of 100 mm film.

본 논문에서는 시간 간격을 두고 활영한 흉부의 단순 x선 영상의 차영상을 이용하여 컴퓨터 도움 진단에 활용할 수 있는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 시간 간격을 두고 촬영한 흉부 단순 x선 영상의 차영상은 시간에 따른 변화를 명확히 보여줌으로써 질병의 조기진단 및 질병의 전개과정 등을 알아보는데 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다. 특히, 이 방법은 폐암과 같이 조기진단이 매우 어려운 질병에 대하여 정기검진 등에서 정기적으로 촬영한 단순 x선 영상을 이용하여 조기진단을 할 수 있는 방법으로 활용될 수 있다. 그러나, 촬영시의 여러 가지 조건들, x선의 세기와 조영시간, 환자의 촬영 자세 및 호흡 상태 등에 따라 단순 x선 영상이 크게 달라져 단순한 뺄셈에 의한 차영상은 진단에 도움이 되지 못한다. 진단에 도움을 주기 위해서는 두 영상 사이의 전체적인 밝기와 대조도를 맞추고 늑골, 쇄골 등 해부학적 구조물의 위치와 크기를 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻는 영상처리 방법이 필요하다. 또한, 폐의 크기와 위치도 서로 맞추어 차영상을 얻어야 한다. 그러나, 이러한 방법도 늑골과 폐의 크기와 위치 변화가 서로 일치하지 않는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영상처리를 통하여 차영상을 얻는 방법에 대하여 논하고 방법상의 문제점과 해결 방법을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study is predicted easily the entrance surface dose (ESD) in chest digital radiography. We used two detector type such as flat-panel detector (FP) and IP (Imaging plate detector). ESD was measured at each exposure condition combined tube voltage with tube current using dosimeter, after attaching on human phantom, it was repeated 3 times. Phantom images were evaluated independently by three chest radiologists after blinding image. Dose-area product (DAP) or exposure index (EI) was checked by Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) header on phantom images. Statistical analysis was performed by the linear regression using SPSS ver. 19.0. ESD was significant difference between FP and IP($85.7{\mu}Gy$ vs. $124.6{\mu}Gy$, p=0.017). ESD was positively correlated with image quality in FP as well as IP. In FP, adjusted R square was 0.978 (97.8%) and linear regression model was $ESD=0.407+68.810{\times}DAP$. DAP was 4.781 by calculating the $DAP=0.021+0.014{\times}340{\mu}Gy$. In IP, adjusted R square was 0.645 (64.5%) and linear regression model was $ESD=-63.339+0.188{\times}EI$. EI was 1748.97 by calculating the $EI=565.431+3.481{\times}340{\mu}Gy$. In chest digital radiography, the ESD can be easily predicted by the DICOM header information.
