  • IAEA에서 제공한 선량기준은 서양 사람을 기준으로 개발된 것이어서 우리 한국 사람에게는 맞지 않고, 상대적으로 우리나라의 환자선량은 적으리라 예상된다. 따라서 선량기준을 따로 개발해야할 필요가 있다. 그래서 본 연구팀은 병원협회에 등록되어 있는 종합병원 278개를 대상으로 환자 피폭에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문회수율은 57.9%였으며 각 병원에서의 촬영조건을 기초로 NDD법을 이용하여 환자 피폭선량을 계산하였고 설문지를 분석한 결과를 보고한다.

  • ROC에 의한 의료영상을 평가하는 방법으로 지금까지는 5단계로 평가하는 평정확신도법이 일반적으로 사용되었다. 이 평정확신도법에서는 TPF나 FPF의 산출을 쉽게 구하는 것이 가능하나, 실험에 있어서 부드럽게 ROC곡선의 추정을 하기 위해서 관찰자에 대해 적당한 카테고리 배분이 요구되거나 또 짜여진 카테고리 배분을 위해 그 데이터가 무효해지는 경우가 많다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 또는 관찰실험 이외의 데이터에도 ROC해석의 응용이 가능해지도록 카테고리 분류가 되어 있지 않은 연속적으로 분포된 실험결과를 이용 ROC 해석을 행하는 방법인 연속확신도법이 보고 되었다. 하지만 국내에서는 의료영상의 평가에 연속확신도법을 적용한 예가 거의 없어서 흉부 디지털영상의 평가에 적용해 보았다. 그 결과 상용화된 프로그램에 의하여 부드러운 ROC곡선을 그릴 수 있었으며, 특성값을 쉽게 측정할 수 있어 디지털 의료영상의 평가에 적절히 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

  • A 13-year-old, castrated male, Shih Tzu dog with a history of acute ataxia was referred to veterinary medical teaching hospital and anesthetized for diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging of cervical intervertebral disk disease. After preanesthetic evaluation including physical examination, blood chemistry, radiography and ultrasound, the patient was premedicated with intravenous butorphanol (0.2 mg/kg). Anesthesia was induced by intravenous propofol (6 mg/kg) and maintained with isoflurane at 1.2 minimal alveolar concentrations. Because the mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased from 70 to 58 mmHg at 70 minutes after induction, dobutamine was administered by constant rate infusion ($5{\mu}g/kg/min$) to treat hypotension. However MAP did not increase, and heart rate rapidly decreased from 100 to 55 beats per minute (bpm). To treat bradycardia, intravenous glycopyrrolate ($5{\mu}g/kg$) was administered, and heart rate increased to 165 bpm. After extubation of endotracheal tube, the patient showed normal recovery without any problems related to cardiovascular system. Unexpected dobutamine-induced bradycardia was considered as Bezold-Jarisch reflex. It is recommended that clinicians know and prepare the possibility of bradycardia during dobutamine therapy under general anesthesia.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to detect the anterior loop of the mental nerve and the mandibular incisive canal in panoramic radiographs (PAN) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images, as well as to determine the anterior/mesial extension of these structures in panoramic and cross-sectional reconstructions using PAN and CBCT images. Materials and Methods: Images (both PAN and CBCT) from 90 patients were evaluated by 2 independent observers. Detection of the anterior loop and the incisive canal were compared between PAN and CBCT. The anterior/mesial extension of these structures was compared between PAN and both cross-sectional and panoramic CBCT reconstructions. Results: In CBCT, the anterior loop and the incisive canal were observed in 7.7% and 24.4% of the hemimandibles, respectively. In PAN, the anterior loop and the incisive canal were detected in 15% and 5.5% of cases, respectively. PAN presented more difficulties in the visualization of structures. The anterior/mesial extensions ranged from 0.0 mm to 19.0 mm on CBCT. PAN underestimated the measurements by approximately 2.0 mm. Conclusion: CBCT appears to be a more reliable imaging modality than PAN for preoperative workups of the anterior mandible. Individual variations in the anterior/mesial extensions of the anterior loop of the mental nerve and the mandibular incisive canal mean that is not prudent to rely on a general safe zone for implant placement or bone surgery in the interforaminal region.

  • Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy is considered a standard technique in mandibular orthognathic surgeries to reduce unexpected bilateral stress in the temporomandibular joints. Unilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (USSO) was recently introduced to correct facial asymmetry caused by asymmetric mandibular prognathism and has shown favorable outcomes. If unilateral surgery could guarantee long-term postoperative stability as well as favorable results, operation time and the incidence of postoperative complications could be reduced compared to those in bilateral surgery. This report highlights three consecutive cases with long-term follow-up in which USSO was used to correct asymmetric mandibular prognathism. Long-term postoperative changes in the condylar contour and ramus and condylar head length were analyzed using routine radiography and computed tomography. In addition, prior USSO studies were reviewed to outline clear criteria for applying this technique. In conclusion, patients showing functional-type asymmetry with predicted unilateral mandibular movement of less than 7 mm can be considered suitable candidates for USSO-based correction of asymmetric mandibular prognathism with or without maxillary arch surgeries.

  • Purpose : This study aimed to examine factors affecting radiation protective behaviors among emergency room nurses by assessing knowledge, attitude, and environment for radiation protection. Methods : The study employed a cross-sectional design. Subjects were a convenience sample of 129 nurses working in emergency rooms of three general hospitals. Data were collected using self-report questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results : The more the nurses received radiation safety education (t=2.26, p=.026), used protective gear (t=4.40, p<.001), and took health screenings (t=2.65, p=.009), the higher their levels of radiation protection behavior. There were significant relations between radiation protective behaviors and attitude (r=.27, p=.002), and radiation protective behaviors and environment for radiation protection (r=.55, p<.001). The factors affecting radiation protective behaviors were protective environment (β=.53, p<.001), protective attitude (β=.32, p<.001), and the use of protective gear (β=.24, p=.002). Conclusions : The government, hospital administrators, and radiation protection-related organization should adopt the following measures to protect emergency room nurses from radiation: research and development of shield instrument, medical examination for emergency room nurses, protocol development of radiation protection behaviors, extension of education chances of radiation protection, and encouraging the use of protective equipment.

  • 4, 8, 12, 20 주령의 미성숙 미니돼지에서 방사선과 초음파를 이용하여 복부 주요 장기의 형태학적 특징을 살펴보았다. 방사선 검사는 전반적인 장기의 형태를 확인하는 데 이용되는 가장 기본적이고 단순한 방법이다. 기본 복부방사선 사진에서 이용되는 평가해야 할 항목들은 우선 전반적인 복부세부음영의 정도, 간, 위, 비장, 신장, 방광, 장들의 위치, 크기, 형태, 변연, 후복강 평가이다. 초음파 검사는 이러한 주요 장기들의 내부 실질을 평가하는 데 주로 사용된다. 미니돼지는 개와 고양이와 비교했을 때 유사한 소견을 가진 것을 확인하였다.

  • A study was performed to investigate the size of pharynegeal cavity and sexual differences between Korean adult male and female by introducing linear analysis of the lateral cephalogram. The radiograms were composed of 46 adult males aged 24.64 and 52 adult females aged 22.74 respectively. In order to study and measure the pharyngeal area the following skeletal landmarks were selected: S, N, A, Ptm, B, H, H', M, S' N, FH and CV, and the angle CV-FH was measured to provide a factor for correction of error resulting from improper head positioning of subjects, especially in the relative positions of A and H, while radiography. All points to be measured were projected at right angles to the Frankfort plane. For the purpose of measuring the anteroposterior dimensions of pharyngeal cavity the distances were measured in A-Ptm, A-S, S-Ptm and CV-H, and vertical measurements were made in SN-A, SN-PNS, SN-H' and M-H'. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The pharyngeal cavity is broader in the vertical than in the anteroposterior diameter in both sex and the maxium sexual differences were showed in the distances between SN and H', and minimal sexual differences in the distances between S and Ptm. 2. In general, the measurements of male were larger than those of female in the anteroposterior dimensions of pharyngeal cavity, but the distances bet-ween A and S, between CV and H showed significant sexual differences when evaluated statistically. 3. All of the measurements were larger in male than in female in vertical dimensions of pharyngeal cavity, and there were statistical significances of sexual differences in all variables.
