Purpose: This study aimed to develop a breath control training system for breath-hold technique and respiratory-gated radiation therapy wherein the patients can learn breath-hold techniques in their convenient environment. Methods: The breath control training system comprises a sensor device and software. The sensor device uses a loadcell sensor and an adjustable strap around the chest to acquire respiratory signals. The device connects via Bluetooth to a computer where the software is installed. The software visualizes the respiratory signal in near real-time with a graph. The developed system can signal patients through visual (software), auditory (buzzer), and tactile (vibrator) stimulation when breath-holding starts. A motion phantom was used to test the basic functions of the developed breath control training system. The relative standard deviation of the maxima of the emulated free breathing data was calculated. Moreover, a relative standard deviation of a breath-holding region was calculated for the simulated breath-holding data. Results: The average force of the maxima was 487.71 N, and the relative standard deviation was 4.8%, while the average force of the breath hold region was 398.5 N, and the relative standard deviation was 1.8%. The data acquired through the sensor was consistent with the motion created by the motion phantom. Conclusions: We have developed a breath control training system comprising a sensor device and software that allow patients to learn breath-hold techniques in their convenient environment.

The term molecular imaging can be broadly defined as the in vivo characterization and measurement of biologic processes at the cellular and molecular level. Optical imaging that has highly reproducibility and repetition used in molecular imaging research. In the bioluminescence imaging, animals carrying the luciferase gene are imaged with a cooled CCD(Charge-Coupled Device) camera to pick up the small number of photons transmitted through tissues. Molecular imaging analysis will allow us to observe the incipience and progression of the disease. But hardware device for molecular imaging and software for molecular image analysis were dependent on imports. In this paper, we suggest image processing methods and designed software for bioluminescence signal analysis. And we demonstrated high correlation(r=0.99) between our software's photon counts and commercial software's photon counts. ROI function and processing functions were accomplished without error. This study have the importance of the development software for bioluminescence image processing and analysis. And this study built the foundations for creative development of analysis methods. We expected this study lead the development of image technology.

In this paper, we propose a telemedicine system based ECG data using a bio-signal meter and a smart device for treating faraway patients. This system is composed of a patch-shaped portable bio-signal meter, patient's smart device application, and doctor's PC software. Using these components, doctors and patients can do telemedicine. First, a patient measures his own ECG signal with a bio-signal meter and send the data to a doctor using a smart device application. Then, the doctor checks the ECG data, and make and send a diagnosis chart to web server. Likewise, doctors and patients can be offered a medical environment without time and space restraints. Applying this system to real medical system can improve the problem of low accessibility and efficiency and also can reduce medical expenses.

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is the interventional therapy that be employed to eliminate cardiac tissue caused by arrhythmias. During radiofrequency catheter ablation, The thrombus can occur at electrode tip if the temperature of tissue and electrode is excess $100^{\circ}C$. To prevent this phenomenon, we investigated numerical model of electrode for radiofrequency catheter ablation considering saline irrigation and temperature-controlled radiofrequency system. The numerical model is based on coupled electric-thermal-flow problem and solved by COMSOL Multiphysics software. The results of the models show that the dimensions of the thermal lesion are increased if the flow rate of the saline irrigation and the set temperature are increased. The surface width characterized to determine the thermal lesion isn't need to measure in temperature-controlled radiofrequency system due to convective heat transfer by saline irrigation at tissue-electrode interface.

The rises of the life index quality together with the medical technology improvement lead to a longer life expectancy. Then a better health care program, especially for elderly, is needed. The common health problems facing those senior citizens are changed from acute diseases to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension. Then u-Health takes center stage in medical industry. Although u- Health medical device manufacturers have been improving their instruments, these instruments still rely on proprietary technologies without fixed platform. Even if the interface has been provided by the manufacturer, there is no widely-accepted uniform data model to access data of various u-Health devices. IEEE 11073 is a standard attempting to unify the interfaces of all medical devices. In this paper we have proposed a conversion software platform that assures interoperability among medical devices for ubiquitous sensor network. This module uses in order to develop a standard platform of medical system.

Electropulsegraphy is a medical device that was invented by an orient medical physician and a few engineers to help the physicians to diagnose patients in more systematic way by analyzing waveforms generated from the device. Data generated form the device has been collected for over several decades, and undergoes functional upgrades today. The device generates 33 waveforms that reflect the states of patients. As one of those upgrading efforts, we strive to develop an intelligent algorithm that makes the diagnostic process automatically, which was previously done manually for a long period of time. The logistic regression algorithm is used for our classification problems, which is one of those well-known algorithms for various classification problems such as character recognition systems. Out of the 33 waveforms, we only use 5 waveform data (Type1 toType5) as training data sets to estimate the parameters of the logistic regression. And the parameters are used to classify waveform inputs chosen at random.

최근 IT 기술의 발전과 함께 클라우드 서비스, IoT 기술 및 모바일 애플리케이션을 통해 통합적인 u-헬스케어 환경기반의 의료정보시스템이 구축되고 있다. 이러한 의료정보시스템에서는 응급 처치나 치료를 목적으로 의료진에게 환자의 의료정보를 접근할 권한이 제공되어야 한다. 따라서 의료정보시스템에서 의료진이 담당하는 환자의 생체정보 및 개인 의료정보에 접근하기 위해서는 신뢰적이고 신속한 인증과정이 필요하다. 그러나 현재 시스템 환경에서는 의료진의 ID/PWD만을 이용하는 단순하고 정적인 사용자 인증기법으로 의료정보시스템을 접근하고 있다. 이러한 이유에서 본 논문에서는 환자가 응급상태조건을 고려한 다양한 인증 요소를 포함한 의료정보접근의 투명성을 제공하는 동적상황인증기법과 이를 지원하는 동적상황인증시스템을 제안하였다. 본 동적상황인증은 사용자 인증과 이동 단말기 인증을 결합한 인증으로, 기존의 사용자 인증 뿐 아니라 의료진이 사용하는 이동 단말기의 인증을 위해 환자의 응급상태, 의료진의 역할, 근무시간, 근무위치 등과 같은 다양한 인증요소 속성들을 사용하였다. 우리는 응급상태판별, 동적상황인증, 인증지원 DB 구축을 포함한 동적상황인증시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. 마지막으로 제안한 동적상황인증시스템의 서비스 수행성 검증을 위해, 의료진으로 하여금 동적상황인증과정과 그 이후 담당환자에 대한 의료정보접근 허가와 함께 의료정보서버로부터 의료진 자신의 이동 단말기에 모바일 애플리케이션을 내려 받아 실행함으로써 의료정보의 인증 및 접근과정을 보였다.

With growing interest in novel digital healthcare devices, such as artificial intelligence (AI) software for medical diagnosis and prediction, and their potential impacts on healthcare, discussions have taken place regarding the regulatory approval, coverage, and clinical implementation of these devices. Despite their potential, 'digital exceptionalism' (i.e., skipping the rigorous clinical validation of such digital tools) is creating significant concerns for patients and healthcare stakeholders. This white paper presents the positions of the Korean Society of Radiology, a leader in medical imaging and digital medicine, on the clinical validation, regulatory approval, coverage decisions, and clinical implementation of novel digital healthcare devices, especially AI software for medical diagnosis and prediction, and explains the scientific principles underlying those positions. Mere regulatory approval by the Food and Drug Administration of Korea, the United States, or other countries should be distinguished from coverage decisions and widespread clinical implementation, as regulatory approval only indicates that a digital tool is allowed for use in patients, not that the device is beneficial or recommended for patient care. Coverage or widespread clinical adoption of AI software tools should require a thorough clinical validation of safety, high accuracy proven by robust external validation, documented benefits for patient outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. The Korean Society of Radiology puts patients first when considering novel digital healthcare tools, and as an impartial professional organization that follows scientific principles and evidence, strives to provide correct information to the public, make reasonable policy suggestions, and build collaborative partnerships with industry and government for the good of our patients.
