In a digital radiation system using a Flat Panel Detector, we attempted to the quality control of digital radiography system using the Exposure Index and Deviation Index. Calibration was performed with the radiation quality suggested by the International Electrotechnical Commission, and through an experiment using a phantom, appropriate inspection radiation conditions applicable to medical institutions were selected. The study was conducted using the selected radiation conditions. Through those chest posterior anterior image, information such as examination conditions and exposure index was obtained. The deviation index was derived by analyzing the exposure index based on the target exposure index calculated by the phantom study. As for the analyzed exposure index, 97.1% was distributed within the range of ± 2.0 based on the deviation index. Quality control of medical images should be performed through management of inspection conditions through exposure index and deviation index and management of medical images.

담도선섬유종은 매우 드문 담도상피성 종양으로서 양성 종양으로 분류된다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 담도선섬유종으로부터 악성 종양이 발생했다는 몇 개의 증례가 보고되어 왔다. 하지만 담도선섬유종과 그로부터 발생한 악성 신생물에 대한 영상의학적 소견은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 우리는 담도선섬유종에서 발생한 담관암의 증례를 초음파, 컴퓨터단층촬영, 자기공명영상 사진과 함께 설명하고, 이와 감별할 질환들의 영상의학적 소견을 고찰하고자 한다.

This study purpose to establish an appropriate target exposure index(EIT) using dose area product(DAP) and exposure index(EI) based on chest radiography. First, the system response experiment was conducted with radiation quality of RQA5 to compare the dosimetry and dose area product of equipment. Next, EI and DAP were acquired and analyzed while varying the dose in the diagnostic at 70kVp using a human body model phantom. The signal to noise ratio(SNR) of the obtained results was analyzed in the diagnostic with in the diagnostic reference level(DRL) application range. The DRL at percentage 25% had a dose of 0.17 mGy and EI was 83, and at percentage 75% the dose was 0.68 mGy and EI was 344. As the dose increased, the SNR in the subdiaphragm increased. To set the EIT, calibration must first be performed using a dosimeter and set within the DRL range to reflect the needs of the medical institution.

본 연구는 뇌 자기공명영상에서 질환관심영역(ROI)을 설정하여 신호대잡음비(SNR)를 펄스 시퀀스 별로 분석하여 MRI CAD 개발에 필요한 기초자료를 활용하고자 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구대상은 2005년 1월부터 2015년 12월까지 서울소재 대학병원에서 뇌 조영자기공명영상(Brain MRI Contrast Enhancement)을 검사한 환자 117명이다. 측정이 용이한 질환 2종류 수막종(Meningioma), 낭종(Cyst)을 측정대상으로 하였고, 측정방법은 Image J 프로그램을 사용하였다. 뇌질환의 SNR값을 측정하여 SPSS Statistics21 통계프로그램으로 ANOVA 분석을 하였으며 p < 0.05에서 유의한 것으로 판단하였다. 표본의 인구사회학적 특성, 시퀀스별 SNR의 평균값, 95% 신뢰 구간 값, SNR 평균차이 값 등을 분석하였다. 각 질환의 시퀀스별 분석결과는 Meningioma: T1CE > T2 > T1, FLAIR (p<0.05); Cyst: T2 > T1, T1CE > FLAIR (p < 0.05)였다. SNR 수치로 시퀀스들의 특징을 조합하여 질환의 특성을 파악할 수 있어 향후 자기공명영상검사의 정확성과 편의성을 제공하고, 판독보조진단 프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the shapes and colors of emergency exit symbols, magnetic field warning symbols, and radiation zone symbols used in hospitals for staff and patient safety and their effects on cognitive memory. The hippocampal region's signal intensity(SI) was analyzed using fMRI. The Symbol 2 (1.75±0.54) with a green background had the highest signal intensity (SI) for emergency exits, according to the findings. The black symbol 2 (1.60±0.51) with a yellow background had the highest signal intensity (SI) for the magnetic field warning symbol, followed by the black symbol 1 (1.59±0.65) with an orange background. The black symbol 2 (1.59±0.59) with a yellow background and the black symbol 3 (1.58±0.52) with an orange background had the low signal intensity with slight differences as for the radiation zone symbols. In conclusion, it was determined that the signal intensity of the black symbol with a yellow background was the highest in the magnetic field area and radiation area. This implies that symbols with a high signal intensity (SI) must be utilized intensively. To ensure that the correct meaning of the symbols is communicated in the future, they must also be utilized regularly and continually in disaster safety education.

Computed Radiography (CR) 시스템에서 영상의 신뢰성과 재현성을 높이기 위해서는 영상 획득 과정의 마지막 단계에서 이루어지는 나트륨램프의 소거에 의한 Image Plate (IP)의 완전한 초기화가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 CR (Agfa CR 25; Agfa, BELGIUM)을 이용하여 잠상의 소거 후 지연시간에 따른 노이즈의 평가, 소거량에 따른 잠상의 소거 후 노이즈의 평가, 그리고 American Association of Physicist in Medicine (AAPM) Report 93 (2006)의 CR acceptance test 중 erasure thoroughness 평가를 시행하였다. 임상에서 주로 쓰이는 Chest postero-anterior (PA), Hand PA, L-spine lateral을 촬영 후 스캔하였다. Chest PA와 L-spine lateral은 Chest phantom (3D-torso; CIRS, USA)을 이용하여 촬영했고 Hand PA는 피검자를 통해 촬영되었다. 실험 결과 Hand PA를 제외한 나머지 unexposed image에서 지연시간이 길어질수록 전반적으로 ghost image를 비롯한 noise가 증가하였으며, overexposure된 부분을 따라 ghost image가 나타났다. 지연시간에 의해 야기된 noise에 의한 영향은 육안으로 확인되지 않았다. 픽셀 값의 standard deviation (SD)은 overexposure 된 부분이 상대적으로 높게 측정되었다. 잠상의 소거 정도에 따른 영상의 noise평가 결과 Hand PA, Chest PA는 소거 정도 값이 높아져도 noise는 증가하지 않았다. 그러나 상대적으로 조사선량이 큰 L-spine lateral은 기준 소거 정도보다 낮을 경우 noise가 발생하였다. Erasure thoroughness 평가 결과 학과 내 CR 장비의 잠상소거능력은 기준치에 부합함을 확인하였다. 본 연구가 IP 초기화에 기초적인 자료를 제공함으로써 신뢰성 있는 영상을 획득하는데 기여할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구에서는 맘모그래피 장비에 대한 유지 보수에 대한 진단을 하는데 있어서 필수적인 정확성을 높이기 위해서 edge방법을 이용한, 유방영상의 물리적 특성에 대해서 알아보고자 한다. International electronical commission standard IEC: 61267의 RQA-M2 방법에 의해서 변조전달함수(modulation transfer function: MTF), 잡음전력스펙트럼(noise power spectrum: NPS), 양자검출효율(detective quantum efficiency: DQE)등을 측정하였다. 결과는 selenia demensions의 tomo장비와 lorad selenia는 맘모 전형장비의 MTF는 $10mm^{-1}$에서의 공간분해능을 유지하고 있었으며, NPS와 DQE는 낮은 nyquist frequency 포함하여 $6.0mm^{-1}$까지 나왔다. 따라서 정확한 진단을 위하여 주기적인 맘모시스템의 유지보수가 필요하며, 본 연구는 DDR 맘모시스템의 QA 및 수행성능 평가에 기초가 될 것으로 생각된다.
