Misinterpreting radiographic findings can lead to unnecessary interventions and potential patient harm. The urgency required when responding to the compromised health of trauma patients can increase the likelihood of misinterpreting chest x-rays in critical situations. We present the case report of a trauma patient whose skin fold artifacts were mistaken for pneumothorax on a follow-up chest x-ray, resulting in unnecessary chest tube insertion. We hope to help others differentiate between skin folds and pneumothorax on the chest x-rays of trauma patients by considering factors such as location, shape, sharpness, and vascular markings.

흉부 X-선 촬영 시 피사체의 유무, 촬영실내 X선관과 수광계 (image receptor), 환자 보기창 앞, 환자대기실 출입문 외측, 출입문 개폐여부, 방사선 관계 종사자 출입문 외측, 방사선 관계 종사자 출입문 개폐여부 등으로 구분하여 공간산란선발생을 알아보기 위한 연구로 공간산란선발생에 대한 연구 결과 피사체가 있을 때 수광계 (image receptor) 위치; Chest PA: $663{\pm}3.4$ mR/h, Chest Lateral: $2,067{\pm}3.7$ mR/h, X선관 위치; Chest PA: $293{\pm}2.1$ mR/h, Chest Lateral: $927{\pm}1.9$ mR/h, 환자대기실 출입문 외측 열고; Chest PA: $17{\pm}1.6$ mR/h, Chest Lateral: $88{\pm}2.6$ mR/h, 방사선 관계 종사자 촐입문 외측 열고; Chest PA: $3{\pm}1.6$ mR/h, Chest Lateral: $19{\pm}1.6$ mR/h), 피사체의 두께가 두꺼울수록 각 각의 측정지점에서 산란선 발생이 많았고, 출입문을 닫고 측정한 경우 산란선이 더 적었다. 그러므로 방사선 관계종사자는 촬영실내 산란선 분포에 대한 정확한 정보를 인지하여 불필요한 방사선 피폭을 줄일 수 있도록 노력해야 한다.

The pandemic of Covid-19 (Coronavirus Disease 19) has devastated the world, affected millions of people, and disrupted the world economy. The cause of the Covid19 epidemic has been identified as a new variant known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV2). It motives irritation of a small air sac referred to as the alveoli. The alveoli make up most of the tissue in the lungs and fill the sac with mucus. Most human beings with Covid19 usually do no longer improve pneumonia. However, chest x-rays of seriously unwell sufferers can be a useful device for medical doctors in diagnosing Covid19-both CT and X-ray exhibit usual patterns of frosted glass (GGO) and consolidation. The introduction of deep getting to know and brand new imaging helps radiologists and medical practitioners discover these unnatural patterns and pick out Covid19-infected chest x-rays. This venture makes use of a new deep studying structure proposed to diagnose Covid19 by the use of chest X-rays. The suggested model in this work aims to predict and forecast the patients at risk and identify the primary COVID-19 risk variables

Objective: This study was designed to analyze the utility of routine chest X-ray on Korean medicine hospital admission. Methods: The chest X-ray reports and medical records of 618 patients who were admitted to Daejeon Korean Medicine Hospital from May 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Of the 618 patients newly hospitalized from May 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021, 560 patients (excluding readmission) were analyzed. The mean age of 560 patients was 53.26±17.20 years. There were 52 patients with abnormal findings, and their mean age was 69.62±15.59 years. Many of these patients had chest symptoms and a history of chest disease. There was no case that showed a significant diagnostic result by chest X-ray examination. Conclusion: The diagnostic usefulness of routine chest X-rays in Korean medicine hospital admission is low. But this does not mean that there is no need to perform routine chest X-rays upon admission.

We have experienced 30 patients of tuberculous chest wall abscess which was surgically treated at Kyung Hee University hospital during 6 years from Jan, 1978 to Dec, 1983. We analyze 30 cases of clinical findings and surgically treated, and 20 cases of chest X-rays are available. The results of this sturdy are as follows: 1.Sex ratio ; Male: Female = 1:1.72. 2.Chief complaints are fluctuated mass with or without tenderness or pain and pus from wound. 3.Out of 20 cases of chest x-rays revealed 8 cases of osteolytic lesion, 11 cases of soft tissue swelling, 5 cases of pleural changes and 4 cases of negative findings. 4.We resected partially 43 ribs of 30 patients [average: 1.43 resected] in tuberculous chest wall abscess. 5.Operative methods of tuberculous chest wall abscess were partial resection of destructed or denuded periosteum of ribs and curettage of its surrounding tissues in operative field.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose for emergency medical service providers working in the emergency department (ED). Methods: A prospective study was conducted from February 15, 2013 to May 15, 2013 in the ED in an urban hospital. Six residents, seven emergency medical technicians (EMT), and 24 nurses were enrolled. They wore a personal radiation dosimeter on their upper chest while working in the ED, and they stayed away from the portable X-ray unit at a distance of at least 1.8 m when the X-ray beam was generated. Results: The total number of portable x-rays was 2089. The average total radiation exposure dose of emergency medical service providers was $0.504{\pm}0.037$ mSv, and it was highest in the EMT group, 0.85(0.58-1.08) mSv. The average of the total number of portable X-rays was highest in the doctor group, 728.5(657.25-809). The relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose was not statistically significant(-0.186, p=0.269). Conclusion: Under the condition of staying away from the portable X-ray unit at a distance of least 1.8 m, the relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose was not statistically significant.

흉부 X-ray 영상은 폐와 심장을 검사하는 방사선 검사이며 특히, 폐 질환을 진단하는 데 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 흉부 X-ray의 품질은 의사의 진단에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 품질을 평가하는 과정이 필수적으로 거쳐야 하는데, 이 과정은 영상의학과 전문의의 주관이 개입될 수 있고, 수작업으로 이루어지기 때문에 많은 시간과 비용이 소모된다. 또한, 이러한 품질평가는 X-ray 영상의 특징과 사용 목적에 따라 일반적인 품질평가와는 다른 평가 요소가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 X-ray 영상에서 검출되는 장기의 해상도, ,해부학적인 구조, 균형 등을 고려하여 임상 현장에서 사용되는 흉부 X-ray 영상 화질 평가 가이드라인을 적용하여 품질요소를 5가지(인공음영, 포함범위, 환자자세, 흡기정도, 그리고 투과상태)로 나누고 이를 자동화하는 도구를 제안한다. 제안하는 도구는 수작업으로 품질평가를 진행하는 본래의 방식 대비 소요 시간과 비용을 줄여주고, 더 나아가 흉부 X-ray를 이용한 학습 모델 개발에 높은 품질의 학습데이터를 선별하는 과정에도 사용될 수 있다.

This paper presents a new algorithm that extracts lung region in X-Rays and enhance.j the region. Comparing to prior algorithms that enhance whole X-Ray image, this algorithm leads more effective results. For this algorithm extracts lung region first, and enhances the lung region excluding parameters of other region. For choosing optimal threshold, we compare OTSU's mothod with the proposed method. We obtain lung boundary using contour following algorithm and Rray level searching method in gray level rescaled image. We Process histogram equalization in lung region and obtain enhanced lung image. By using the proposed algorithm, we obtain lung region effectively in chest X-Ray that need in medical image diagnostic system.

When performing Chest x-ray examination to pregnant woman, normally we shield back side of abdomen. In this situation, scattered rays made by equipment and surrounding structure can enter front side of abdomen. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate suitability of abdomen shield especially to pregnant woman. In case of One shielding material placed back of abdomen, the measured value is $0.676{\pm}0.19uSv/hr$. Two shielding material is $0.764{\pm}0.04uSv/hr$. Three is $0.685{\pm}0.16uSv/hr$. The exposure dose inferred in this study does not excess annual effective dose limit. But It is not mean absolute safety. So we have to minimize occurrence of stochastic effect of radiosensitivity by shielding front side of abdomen of pregnant woman in clinic.
