Accoring to the astonlshing progress of medical science, the medical roles of the radiologic technologist are increasing gradually and specializing highly. However, there are the wide disagreements the actual roles of the radiologic technologists at clinics and the relating rules of the medical law. Therefore, it is required that the medical law should be corresponded with the actual state. To solve these problems. this study has proceeded to make the survey of the present medical law and has tried to offer the most suitable theories to the actual state. This study includes the survey of relevant professional literatures. The major contents of this study are as follows. First, medical technician is written "技士" (in Chinese character) at the present medical technician law, and that word is written wrong. So, it should be replaced with "技師". Therefore, radiologic technologist should be written "放射線師". Second, the relations between the doctor and the radiologic tecnologist should be written the "request or other words" instead of "direction". Third, in spite of the rules of the present medical law, the medical act of radiologic technologist at clinics should be belonging to the boundary of medical practice. Forth, to present the appropriate medical service to the patients, legal status of radiologic technologist as a member of medical team should be established.

본 연구의 목적은 토모테라피(Hi-ArtII, TomoTherapy, USA) 치료 시 Bodyfix system (Medical Intelligence, Ele-kta, Schwabmuchen, Germany)에서 진공압박(Vacuum compression)에 따라 환자 위치잡이오차(Patient's setup-errors)를 평가하고자 하였다. Bodyfix system와 진공압박을 적용한 토모테라피를 이용하여 치료를 시행한 흉복부 환자 21명을 선정하였으며, 모든 환자는 치료 전 촬영된 총 477개의 메가볼테이지 전산화단층촬영(Mega-voltage computed tomography, MVCT)영상을 얻었다. 이를 통하여 확인된 좌우방향(Medial-Lateral direction, ML), 앞뒤방향(Anterior-Posterior direction, AP), 상하방향(Superior-Inferior direction, SI)과 SI중심축 회전각(Rotational angle of SI axis direction, Roll)에 대한 오차를 기록하고, 분석하였다. 세 방향 및 Roll에 대한 상관관계와 진공압박 정도가 다르게 적용된 다섯 그룹에 대하여 setup-errors를 분석하기 위해 각각 Pearson's product-moment coefficient와 One-way ANOVA를 이용하여 통계적으로 분석하였다(p<0.05). 분석결과 Systematic errors의 평균은 AP에서 6.00 mm, 표준편차는 SI에서 5.95 mm로 큰 오차를 보였다. Random errors의 평균은 SI방향에서 4.72 mm로 큰 오차가 발생하였다. 관계분석에서는 상관계수가 ML-Roll과 AP-Vector는 0.485, 0.244이고, SI-Vector에서 관계가 제일 높았다(0.637). 또한, 진공압박 정도가 다르게 적용된 다섯 그룹(Pressure range: 30~70 mbar) 사이의 setup errors를 분석한 결과 ML, SI방향과 Roll에서 모두 p=0.00 (p<0.05)로써 유의한 차이를 보였으며, SI방향에서 진공압박에 따른 오차 평균은 40 mbar과 70 mbar그룹에서 4.78 mm, -0.74 mm였다. 본 연구에서는 진공압박과 setup-errors의 평가를 통계적으로 분석하였으며, 압박 정도에 따라 SI방향에서 setup-errors의 차이를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 setup-errors와 내부장기의 움직임을 고려하자면 Bodyfix system을 이용한 진공압박을 적용시 최소 50 mbar 이상을 사용해야 할 것이다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 진공압박의 정확성과 내부장기 및 종양의 움직임을 정량적으로 분석할 필요가 있다고 판단된다.
