수도권에 소재하는 의료기관 44개 곳에서 시행하는 흉부X선 간접촬영에서 사용한 간접촬영 필름의 크기에 따라 촬영조건, 화상의 물리적 평가 및 시각적 평가, 조사선량 등을 조사한 결과 아직도 대부분 저관전압 촬영을 하고 있어 적절한 촬영조건 개선이 필요하며, 화상평가 비교에서 물리적 평가에서는 비슷한 결과를 보였으나 시각적 평가에서는 100mm 필름을 사용한 경우가 70mm 필름을 사용한 경우보다 대체적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났고, 흉부표면에 조사되는 선량은 70mm 필름을 사용한 경우가 100mm 필름을 사용한 경우보다 3배 이상의 피폭이 더 되고 있어 환자의 피폭선량 경감과 화질개선에 있어서 필름 선택의 중요성을 재삼 인식시켜 주었다.

Radiologic imaging is important for evaluating extrahepatic bile duct (EHD) cancers; it is used for staging tumors and evaluating the suitability of surgical resection, as surgery may be contraindicated in some cases regardless of tumor stage. However, the published general recommendations for EHD cancer and recommendations guided by the perspectives of radiologists are limited. The Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology (KSAR) study group for EHD cancer developed key questions and corresponding recommendations for the radiologic evaluation of EHD cancer and organized them into 4 sections: nomenclature and definition, imaging technique, cancer evaluation, and tumor response. A structured reporting form was also developed to allow the progressive accumulation of standardized data, which will facilitate multicenter studies and contribute more evidence for the development of recommendations.

Control of scattered radiation is one of very important factors in the use of medical radiation. In general X-ray exam, the causes, measurement methods, and the kind of detectors of scattered rays within the radiation area are diverse. In this study, the dose of scattered ray was measured by changing the thickness of the polycarbonate phantom and the tube voltage. As a result of measurement of scattered radiation, the results show that the scattered dose significantly(p<.05) increased with growing of thickness of phantom in the tube voltage 40, 50 and 60 kVp(F(p)<.05, R²>64%). As tube voltage increased at all phantom thicknesses, the scattered dose also significantly(p<.05) increased(F(p)<.05, R²>69%). In cases where a significant correlation was shown, the coefficient of determination of more than 60% was shown in regression analysis. The results of this study can be used as data on scattered radiation dose according to the tube voltage and the object thickness in general X-ray imaging exam.

유방촬영장치가 screen-film system에서 최근에는 빠른 속도로 digital system으로 교체되고 있는 추세이다. Digital system이 screen-film system에 비해 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 중의 하나가 digital detector가 screen-film보다 X선 흡수효율이 더 높으며, digital system 중에서도 direct digital detector가 indirect digital detector보다 흡수효율이 높다. 이에 입각하면 촬영 시 적은 선량을 주어도 되기 때문에 환자피폭선량이 감소한다. 그러나 임상 방사선사들이 느끼는 바는 달랐다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 screen-film mammography system, computed mammography system, indirect digital mammography system, direct digital mammography system에서 glandularity가 30%, 50% 및 70%인 세 종류의 유방조직 등가팬텀을 이용하여 평균유선선량(AGD)을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. Screen-film보다 digital detector가 X선 흡수효율이 높지만, glandularity가 30%인 경우의 AGD는 오히려 SFM에서 가장 낮았고, 그다음 CM, IDM, DDM 순으로 증가되었다. 자동노출장치로 설정하였지만 두께나 glandularity에 따라 target/filter의 조합이 바뀌지 않고 Mo/Mo으로 계속 사용된 SFM에서는 AGD가 급격히 증가되었다. 따라서 높은 glandularity를 가진 두꺼운 팬텀을 위한 고에너지 촬영에서는 SFM에서 AGD값이 가장 높았고, 저에너지 촬영에서는 DDM에서 AGD값이 가장 높았다. 그러나 target/filter의 조합이 다양하게 바뀐 CM에서는 두께나 glandularity에 따른 AGD의 곡선이 가장 완만하게 증가하였으며, AGD값이 가장 낮았다. 이와 같이 두께와 glandularity가 증가함에 따라 target/filter의 조합이 Mo/Mo에서 Mo/Rh으로 더 증가하면 Rh/Rh으로 바뀌는 것이 AGD의 증가량이 적어 환자의 피폭선량 측면에서 바람직하다. 따라서 유방촬영에서 환자의 피폭선량을 평가하기 위해서는 검출효율 외에도 여러 가지 촬영 변수가 중요한 역할을 한다.

The author has clinically and radiologically investigated 57 cases of odontogenic keratocyst in 47 patients consisted of 26 males and 21 females aged from.2 to 63 years, who were pathologically diagnosed as odontogenic keratocyst at infirmaries of dental colleges, Yonsei University and Seoul national university during 1965-1986. The results were as follows: 1. The peak incidence of the disease was on their teenagers (29.8%). The ratio of Male/Female was 1.23:1 and incidence rate of males showed higher than their counterpart. 2. The most frequent complaints were swelling in (65.9%) followed by pus discharge, unknown mass, pain, residual root. 3. The most common site was mandibular third molar and mandibular ramus region (15.8%) followed by mandibular body and ramus, mandibular third molar, mandibular anterior teeth. Incidence of this disease in mandible was higher than in maxilla. 4. The lesions not associated with adjacent teeth were (14.0%) and in the lesions associated with adjacent teeth (35.1%) showed root resorption, (50.9%) were without root resorption, (35.1%) showed tooth migration and (50.9%) were without tooth migration. 5. The border types of the lesions were scalloped type in (52.6%), smooth type in (47.4%) and morphological type were unilocular in (50.9%), multilocular in (49.1%). 6. The radiologic cyst type of the lesions were follicular type (42.1%) followed by primordial, unclassified odontogenic, residual, lateral periodontal, median mandibular, globulomaxillary type.

Most of X-ray generator had used rectifier type transformer with high tension generator which is supplied in a clinical diagnosis. Because the ripple rate of tube voltage is high, X-ray generating efficiency is very low. In these days, high tension generator for inverter type X-ray generator is being supplied from a broad which uses semi-conductor switching element for the electric power that have a high speed switching ability to solve these problem. But, semi-conductor element with large capacity is used with X-ray tube's large consumption power and diffusion is difficult in the small size hospital because production cost is going up by doing digital control through DSP. Therefore, this paper designed and manufactured CR type voltage divider for feedback control of tube voltage with high frequency resonance type inverter and for high tension transformer with high frequency. It was to make economical diffusion type X-ray generator which has wide output voltage and load extent. It was preyed that the X-ray generator had the stability of X-ray tube's output characteristics.

In this study, we have researched the effectiveness of silicone pad. A distribution of scatter ray in mammography was evaluated using Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation technique and then a silicone pad was applied to remove the scatter ray for improving image quality. Molybdenum target and Molybdenum filter combination made a difference of 59.8% to a number of photon at 17.5 keV. On the other hand, Tungsten target and Rhodium filter showed a variation of 24.5% at 20 keV. Mean 68 of SNR was increased in Selenia and mean 1.04 of SNR was raised in Senographe. Silicone pad was significantly effective to reduce the scatter ray that was generated by primary X-ray. It can decrease an absorption rate of scatter ray to patient body and whilst it improve the image quality from increasing SNR.

This study developed radiation therapy contents based on virtual reality technology and applied them to radiation students. A survey was conducted to analyze the relationship between learning effects and learning satisfaction to students who used virtual reality education videos to analyze their learning performance. 71 students radiology department were classified into two groups one that experienced virtual reality and the other that did not experienced virtual reality. We surveyed between the two groups analyzed self-directed learning, self-learning efficacy and learning satisfaction. As a result, the comparison between the two groups showed no difference between self-directed learning and self-learning efficacy. But the learning satisfaction was significant from 2.64±0.83 to 3.20±0.88 in the problem solving process for groups applying virtual reality contents. Therefore, learning satisfaction has improved experienced group virtual reality content and the materials for virtual reality education can be applied more efficiently in non-face-to-face lectures.

소아백혈병의 치료방법 인 조혈모세포이식법의 전처치 방법으로서 항암제와 함께 대표적으로 사용되고 있는 전신방사선조사에 대하여 치료를 시행하기 전 정량적인 인체장기에 대한 선량을 평가하고자 하였다. 모의실험 프로그램 MCNPX를 사용하여 가상의 공간에서 소아용 모의피폭체를 대상으로 조직보상체의 재질을 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과 첫째, 평균피부선량은 조직보상체의 재질에 따라 Plexiglass는 74.60 mGy/min, Al은 73.96 mGy/min, Cu는 72.26 mGy/min, Pb의 경우 67.90 mGy/min을 보였다. 둘째, 심부선량은 조직보상체 재질에 상관없이 갑상선, 생식선, 소화기계, 머리, 폐, 신장의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 끝으로 조직보상체와 환자와의 거리는 50 cm 이격시켰을 때가 이상적인 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 할 때, 조직보상체 Al, Cu, Pb은 현재 사용되고 있는 Plexiglass 재질을 대체할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
