건강증진센터를 방문한 환자를 대상으로 CT 지방측정 위치에 따른 내장지방 면적과 Inbody로 측정한 내장지방 면적의 차이를 비교하여 보았다. CT 지방측정에서 L4-5와 CT Umbilicus 위치에서 측정한 내장지방 면적은 남 여 성별에 다른 차이는 없었다. 또한, CT 지방측정 위치에 따른 내장지방 면적과 Inbody로 측정한 내장지방 면적과의 상관관계에서 CT 내장지방 면적과 Inbody로 측정한 내장지방 면적 간의 차이가 없었다. CT 내장지방 측정 위치는 남자 L4-5, L5-S1 위치, 여자 L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1, Umbilicus 위치에서 높은 상관관계를 보였다. Inbody 내장지방 면적과 CT 내장지방 면적 관계 간의 연구를 할 때 CT L4-5 위치의 내장지방 면적과 비교하는 것을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a compensating algorithm for the secondary current of the measurement current transformer (CT) that removes the effects of the hysteresis characteristics of the iron-core. The exciting current resulting from the hysteresis characteristics of the core causes an error between the primary current and the secondary current of the measurement CT. The exciting current can be decomposed into the magnetizing current and the core loss current. The core loss current is obtained from the measured secondary current and the core loss resistance. The core flux linkage is calculated by integrating the measured secondary current, and then inserted into the flux-magnetizing current curve to obtain the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and then added to the measured current to obtain the correct current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly, and thus reduce the size and the cost of the measurement CT.

본 연구는 CT와 USG 스캔 데이터를 이용하여 팬텀 실험과 환자 스캔 데이터를 활용하는 임상실험으로 체적 측정의 정확도 및 유용성을 알아보았다. 그 결과 CT와 USG 스캔 데이터 모두 다양한 체적의 실제 원형 팬텀의 체적과 유의한 차이가 없었으며(p>0.05), 동일 환자의 방광 체적 측정 결과 CT 데이터는 236.9±2.1, USG 영상은 236.9±1로 측정되어 통계분석 결과 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 분석되었다(p>0.05). 본 결과의 임상 적용은 추가 임상실험이 필요하지만, 환자 피폭, 검사자의 스캔 기술, 그리고 CT 재구성 경험 등을 고려하여 CT 또는 초음파 장치를 선택 적용한다면 의료영상을 활용한 체적 측정의 유용성 측면에서 기초자료로 적용 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Computed tomography (CT) scan room in the department of radiology is very necessary to maintain pleasant and proper illuminance to relieve fatigue and inconvenience because it affects the work environment to the radiologist. Accordingly, this paper describes the method for measurement of illuminance that exposed to an environmental elements in a CT scan room of the hospital. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to propose an optimal environment of CT scan room based on the measurement of illuminance. In addition, the 5 point method by KS C7612 was applied to measure the illuminance with illuminometer (Unfors xi light probe) in the CT scan room. In result of this paper, minimum value and maximum value of illuminance in the CT scan room was measured 212.7 lux and 354.8 lux, respectively. The illuminance of CT scan room was lower than KS A 3011. Finally, the work environment in CT scan room should provide higher illuminance for the comfortable environment of radiologists and patients.

본 연구는 CT를 이용한 지방측정(Fat measurement)에 반복 재구성법(IR)이 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 기존의 필터보정 역투영법(FBP)과 비교하여 고급 모델링 반복 재구성법(ADMIRE)은 어떠한 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 한다. CT Fat measurement에 ADMIRE가 미치는 영향에 대해 알아본 결과 기존의 Filtered back projection과 비교하여 Visceral fat area, Subcutaneous fat area, V/S Ratio, Visceral fat area의 HU 그리고 Subcutaneous fat area의 HU는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 하지만 ADMIRE Strength가 커질수록 Visceral fat area의 Noise는 최대 12%, Subcutaneous fat area의 Noise는 최대 19% 감소하였다. 그리고 CT를 이용한 Fat measurement에서 내장지방과 피하지방 측정에 ADMIRE 알고리즘은 아무런 영향을 주지 않았다.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the agreement of cardiac computed tomography (CT) with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) in the assessment of right ventricle (RV) volume and functional parameters. Materials and Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library were systematically searched for studies that compared CT with CMRI as the reference standard for measurement of the following RV parameters: end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), stroke volume (SV), or ejection fraction (EF). Meta-analytic methods were utilized to determine the pooled weighted bias, limits of agreement (LOA), and correlation coefficient (r) between CT and CMRI. Heterogeneity was also assessed. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the probable factors affecting measurement of RV volume: CT contrast protocol, number of CT slices, CT reconstruction interval, CT volumetry, and segmentation methods. Results: A total of 766 patients from 20 studies were included. Pooled bias and LOA were 3.1 mL (-5.7 to 11.8 mL), 3.6 mL (-4.0 to 11.2 mL), -0.4 mL (5.7 to 5.0 mL), and -1.8% (-5.7 to 2.2%) for EDV, ESV, SV, and EF, respectively. Pooled correlation coefficients were very strong for the RV parameters (r = 0.87-0.93). Heterogeneity was observed in the studies (I² > 50%, p < 0.1). In the subgroup analysis, an RV-dedicated contrast protocol, ≥ 64 CT slices, CT volumetry with the Simpson's method, and inclusion of the papillary muscle and trabeculation had a lower pooled bias and narrower LOA. Conclusion: Cardiac CT accurately measures RV volume and function, with an acceptable range of bias and LOA and strong correlation with CMRI findings. The RV-dedicated CT contrast protocol, ≥ 64 CT slices, and use of the same CT volumetry method as CMRI can improve agreement with CMRI.

This paper introduces a gamma-ray measurement system for a transportable tomography which is applicable for an industrial process diagnosis. The gamma-ray measurement system consists of pulse mode operating 72 channel CsI detectors, main AMP-pulse shaper, single channel analyzer, counter and control PC. The CsI crystal is coupled with a PIN diode which is connected to an amplifier and pulse shaper. For a compact design, the amplifier and pulse shaping circuit are included in a single package. 36 sets of CsI detectors are connected to a multi-channel counter through single channel analyzers. A computer controls and collects data from two multi-channel counters. This configuration results in 72 channel counting system in total. The CT rotator and radiation measurement system are controlled by a PC with LabVIEW program. Tomographic data were measured for a phantom by the measurement system and transportable gamma-ray CT. From the experimental data image reconstructions were performed by ML-EM algorithm. The result showed that the CsI detector system can be a suitable component for transportable gamma-ray CT system.

An automatic excitation characteristics measurement system for the protective relaying current transformer(CT) with accuracy of about 1 % has been developed. The system can be used up to 2 kV and 10 A at power frequency. The developed system can calculate the voltage and current at knee points of $30^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ tangents in accordance with IEEE standard by the interpolation in log scale. The excitation curve of the CT is plotted in auto-scale simultaneously with measuring rms voltage and current at the secondary of the CT.

In this paper, as a new measurement method to estimate the change of material condition, the simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information of three directions, that is, $90^{\circ}$, $+45^{\circ}C$and $-45^{\circ}C$ about inspection plane is proposed. Use of simplified CT system has two merits: Firstly, the measurement time is very short compared with general CT. Secondly, it can detect sensitively small defect in vertical or slant direction about inspection plane because the obtained image is CT image calculated from three directions. From these merits, this method can be considered as an effective method to evaluate material conditions. The basic performance of the proposed method was confirmed through several specimens with several simple defects. In order to confirm the applicability of actual NDT, several kinds of welded specimens are investigated. The result showed that the CT image obtained had good agreement with actual defect of specimens.

The core flux linkage is calculated and then inserted into the flux-current curve to estimate the magnetizing current. The exciting current at every sampling interval is obtained by summing the core-loss and magnetizing currents and then added to the measured current to compensate the secondary current. The performance of the proposed algorithm is validated under various conditions using EMTP generated data. The test results of the real CT were also included. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can improve the accuracy of the measurement CT significantly, and thus reduce the size and the cost of the CT.
