This study attempts to propose an appropriate method of using digital medical imaging equipments, by studying the effects of automatic exposure control(AEC), grid ratio and the change of radiography distance on the patient dose and detertor acquisition dose during the procedure of acquiring image through a digital medical imaging detector. The change of dose following the change of grid ratio's exposure and radiography distance was measured, by using an abdominal phantom organized with tissue equivalent materials in an amorphous silicon thin film transistor detecter installed with AWC. The case to use grid ratio 12 : 1, focal distance 180cm to radiography distance 110cm in AEC, the patient dose increased rather when we used grid ration 10 : 1, focal distance 110cm. When AEC was not used,the dose necessary for image acquisition decreased as the grid ratio became higher and the distance became further. but detector acquisition dose was not reduced when in applied AEC. When purchasing digiral medical imaging equipments, optional items such as AEC and grid shall be accurately selected to satisfy the use of the equipments. Radiography error made by radiation technologist and unnenessary patient dose can be reduced by selecting equipments with a radiography distance marker equipment when it did not apply AEC. These equipments can also be helpful in maintaining high imaging quality, one of the merits of digital detectors.

This paper presents the method for analyzing surface temperature of Electric incoming Apparatus. For the experiment, the surface temperature of electric power apparatus was measured and analyzed by using a infrared thermal imaging system. Surface Discharges(SD) have very complex characteristics of discharge patterns, therefore it requires the development of precise analysis methods. recently, studies on infrared thermal imaging system are carried out to analyze temperature distribution of power equipments through condition diagnosis and to diagnose the degradation of power equipments. The changes in suface temperature was measured by using the infrared thermal imaging system under hot line condition. The system was set up based on the diagnostic method of the electric incoming apparatus.

We examined the accuracy and efficiency of phantom by applying the designed phantom in order to check daily quality assurance easily by objective criteria and to confirm daily quality assurance of linear accelerator, simulator, and CT-simulator. The results of 10 weeks of linear accelerator output dose using American Association of Physicists in Medicine(AAPM) daily quality assurance guide were measured within ${\pm}1%$ of error. Mechanical check of laser alignment, optical distance indicator(ODI), CT scanner laser and alignment of gantry lasers with the center of imaging plane were measured within ${\pm}1mm$. Daily average working time for daily quality assurance of radiation therapy equipments was 38 minutes. The designed phantom was easy to install and daily quality assurance was possible with only one installation. The aspects reproducibility and efficiency as well as accuracy of quality assurance were excellent.

The purpose of this study is to compare the measurement result of radiation dose by using standard thoracic phantom and ionization chamber to advice proposal in the shooting condition of chest PA projection at hospitals recently. And to understand the change between radiation dose and resolution in different conditions. The period this study was from August 2010 to September 2010 and the subjects of the study was 3 general hospitals, 4 personal hospitals and 1 laboratory at the college. Finally we study with 6 DR, 1 CR, and 4 F/S equipments. Most hospitals met advice proposal, but some of the hospitals exceed advice dose from the result of our study. We can lower radiation dose about 25% when kVp is lowered about 20% in DR equipment. And we can lower radiation dose about 50% when mAs is lowered about 35%. The image quality was similar to the original in the study. Most hospitals which exceed advice dose were personal hospitals. The reason why it happened is that radiation dose for chest PA projection at personal hospitals is higher than general hospitals and the personal hospitals' equipments are older than general hospitals' equipments. We guess that patients' radiation dose of chest PA projection can be lowered from the result.

감시정찰용 영상장비는 표적의 형상을 실시간으로 관측하거나, 표적의 위치를 정밀하게 측정하여 신뢰성 있는 위치정보를 제공하는 장비로서 정보 지식 기반의 현대 무기체계에서 필수적인 장비로 발전하고 있다. 운용 방식도 고정형, 차량형, 복합형 등으로 운용되고 있고, 또한 운용 개념에 따라 다양한 센서들이 여러 형태의 기구 구조로 제작되어 장/탈착이 용이한 분리형 일체형 기구 구조로 형상화된 통합형 형태로 제작되고 있다. 통합형 구조에 사용되는 다양한 센서들의 핵심부품 들은 자성을 띠고 있기 때문에 위치 측정에 사용되는 디지털 나침반에 영향을 준다. 따라서 정확한 기준점 산출에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 물리적 자성의 영향을 줄이기 위해 차폐제 사용이 제안되었지만, 선호도가 높은 통합형 구조에서는 장비의 무게, 휴대성 때문에 차폐제의 활용이 제약을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 통합형 구조에서 디지털 나침반을 사용할 경우의 정확한 위치측정 알고리즘에 관하여 연구하였다. 구체적으로, 부품의 장착 위치에 따른 선행 모델링을 통해 차폐제를 사용하지 않은 경우의 사례에 대해 연구하였다. 또한 시스템이 PAN & Tilt와 같이 이용된다는 점에도 착안하여, 수동으로 수행하는 기존의 정치 방식을 자동으로 수행할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 결과적으로 기존의 방위각 중심의 6지점 정치를 방위각과 고각에 따라 12지점을 측정함으로써 측정 범위는 넓히고, 측정시간은 줄이고, 운용자가 측정 중 발생 할 수 있는 영향성을 최소화 할 수 있는 기법임을 확인하였다.

As developing the medical treatment image portion with the change of these times, PACS, which is able to digitalize image portion data, has a lot of data-based image data. Applying this PACS, we would like to settle down RNSXI(real-name shooting X -ray of inspector) system. We interviewed with P ACS's operators of university hospitals which is using PACS in Seoul about the present conditions whether using of RNSXI or not. And we inquired the RNSXI equipments, applying PACS database, and Interface conditions undertook to do in our hospital. All university hospitals in Seoul are set up the P ACS system. But no hospital use the RNSXI. In our hospital, we can check inspector' name or initials who exposure x-ray with the PACS Viewer by looking over equipments(CR, DR, US, MG, MR, CT) and Interface of the DICOM Header data. However, some equipments like RF and Angio can not check inspector' name or initials. Under the Film/System environment, RNSXI system has been used frequently like that inspector's signature or initial added to a patient data. Though the digital medical treatment was developed, RNSXI system was declined. It is necessary to using RNSXI system in order to improving radiologists' rights, even if it is not under the application of the medical treatment image laws. If RNSXI system use, radiologists should specialize in their major and the Repeat rate should be reduced. In environment of PACS, RNSXI system can be used by linking both the equipments and the Interface with a production enterprise of P ACS. Therefore RNSXI system applying the P ACS datebase should settle down in our medical system for being provided lots of data.

Radiation therapy is an important part of cancer treatment in which cancer patients are treated using high-energy radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, electrons, protons, and neutrons. Currently, about half of all cancer patients receive radiation treatment during their whole cancer care process. The goal of radiation therapy is to deliver the necessary radiation dose to cancer cells while minimizing dose to surrounding normal tissues. Success of radiation therapy highly relies on how accurately 1) identifies the target and 2) aim radiation beam to the target. Both tasks are strongly dependent of imaging technology and many imaging modalities have been applied for radiation therapy such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonant Image), and PET (Positron Emission Tomogaphy). Recently, many researchers have given significant amount of effort to develop and improve imaging techniques for radiation therapy to enhance the overall quality of patient care. For example, advances in medical imaging technology have initiated the development of the state of the art radiation therapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), gated radiation therapy, tomotherapy, and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Capability of determining the local tumor volume and location of the tumor has been significantly improved by applying single or multi-modality imaging fur static or dynamic target. The use of multi-modality imaging provides a more reliable tumor volume, eventually leading to a better definitive local control. Image registration technique is essential to fuse two different image modalities and has been In significant improvement. Imaging equipments and their common applications that are in active use and/or under development in radiation therapy are reviewed.
