Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive, fibrosing interstitial pneumonia with a very poor prognosis. Accurate diagnosis of IPF is essential for good outcomes but remains a major medical challenge due to variability in clinical presentation and the shortcomings of existing diagnostic tests. Medical history collection is the first and most important step in the IPF diagnosis process; the clinical probability of IPF is high if the suspected patient is 60 years or older, male, and has a history of cigarette smoking. Systemic assessment for connective tissue disease is essential in the initial evaluation of patients with suspected IPF to identify potential causes of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Radiologic examination using high-resolution computed tomography plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of patients with ILD, and prone and expiratory computed tomography images can be considered. If additional tests such as surgical lung biopsy or transbronchial lung cryobiopsy are needed, transbronchial lung cryobiopsy should be considered as an alternative to surgical lung biopsy in medical centers with experience performing this procedure. Diagnosis through multidisciplinary discussion (MDD) is strongly recommended as MDD has become the cornerstone for diagnosis of IPF, and the scope of MDD has expanded to monitoring of disease progression and suggestion of appropriate treatment options.

본 연구는 근위대퇴골 정면 영상에서 골다공증 측정을 위한 영상지표가 이중에너지흡수계측법(DEXA)으로 측정한 골밀도 결과와 관련성이 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 총 112명을 대상으로 근위대퇴부 정면 영상을 촬영하였고, 영상 지표인 대퇴골관비(CCR)와 피질골 두께지표(CTI)를 측정하여 DEXA 골밀도 결과와 비교하였다. T-score를 이용하여 골다공증군과 비골다공증군으로 나누었고, 영상지표와 평균비교분석 및 상관관계분석, 진단일치도를 비교하였다. 영상계측에서 골다공증군의 골수강내 대퇴관과 골단 대퇴관 간격은 비골다공증군보다 유의하게 컸다. CCR은 골밀도와 음의 상관관계(r=-0.340)가 이었고, CTI는 양의 상관관계(r=0.624)가 있었다. 골다공증에 대한 CCR의 진단일치도는 63.4%이었고, kappa 값은 0.271이었다. CTI의 진단일치도는 67.0%이었고, kappa 값은 0.258 이었다. 결론적으로 근위대퇴골 영상에서 비골다공증군보다 골다공증군의 CCR이 더 크고, CTI는 더 좁게 나타났다. 이는 근위대퇴골 정면영상을 평가할 때 대퇴골의 골단간 피질의 두께가 얇은 환자는 골다공증에 대한 추가적인 검사를 추천할 수 있다.

체중부하 상태에서의 족관절 검사 시 양측 족관절을 동시 촬영 했을 때와 편측 족관절을 나누어 각각 촬영 했을 때, 족관절염의 평가에 해당되는 측정값들의 변화에 대해 알아보고자 한다. 양측을 동시촬영 할 때, 다리를 모아 촬영하게 됨으로 Tibia axis축이 기울게 되고, 족관절의 external rotation으로 인해 족관절의 각도와 joint space의 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 양측 족관절 동시촬영과 편측 족관절을 나누어 촬영한 영상을 PACS system 이용하여 족관절 평가에 이용되는 TAS, TT, TMM, JSW, Tibiotalar joint, Fibulotalar joint의 측정값을 구한 후 통계 분석 하였다. 각도 측정에 있어, 체중부하 양측 족관절 동시 촬영한 검사의 오른쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM 측정값은 $87.24^{\circ}$, $6.44^{\circ}$, $26.67^{\circ}$ 이였으며 편측을 나누어 촬영한 오른쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM은 $88.93^{\circ}$, $2.41^{\circ}$, $19.77^{\circ}$ 였다. 양측 족관절 동시촬영의 왼쪽 족관절 TAS, TT, TMM의 측정값은 $87.25^{\circ}$, $5.71^{\circ}$, $23.92^{\circ}$ 였으며 편측을 나누어 촬영한 왼쪽 족관절의 TAS, TT, TMM은 $88.75^{\circ}$, $3.19^{\circ}$, $21.45^{\circ}$ 였다. 양측 족관절을 동시촬영한 검사와 편측을 나누어 촬영한 족관절과의 비교 시, 양측을 동시 촬영한 검사에서 족관절 평가의 중증도 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 자세로 인한 측정값의 왜곡을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 너비 측정에서 JSW, Tibiotalar joint는 검사 자세로 인한 측정값들 간의 유의성은 없었지만, Fibulotalar joint 의 양측 족관절 동시 검사에서 오른쪽 0.98mm 왼쪽 1.22mm 로 나타났고, 한쪽씩 촬영한 오른쪽 족관절에서는 1.6mm 왼쪽 1.22mm로 측정 자세로 인한 측정값의 유의한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 족관절염 평가를 위한 체중부하 족관절 검사시 양측을 동시에 검사하기 보다는 각각의 족관절을 나누어 촬영하는 것이 족관절염 평가값에 왜곡을 최소화 하며, 측정값의 정확성을 높일 수 있다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to propose standard values for alveolar and basal bone in normal adult mandibles, and radiologically analyze the remodeling process of the edentulous mandible by examining molar areas and comparing them to the established normal values. Materials and Methods : Panoramic and CT scans of mandible were performed on 20 normal adults and 20 edentulous or partially edentulous adults. In both groups, arch half diameter and distance of alveolar bone were measured. Also the distance from the mandibular canal to the caudal edges, the buccal and lingual external borders of basal bone, were measured. A statistical comparison between the mean values of normal and edentulous mandibles was carried out in the selected areas. Results : There was evidence of decreasing arch half diameter and distance in the edentulous mandible, but statistically no significant change was seen between the normal and edentulous alveolar bone. There was evidence of decreasing buccal basal bone and increasing in the lingual basal bone in the edentulous mandible. A statistically significant difference between normal and edentulous mandibles was noted in the buccal basal bone. Conclusion: There was an inward and forward atrophic change of the edentulous mandibular molar area compared to the control. CT scanning required the use of sophisticated and expensive procedures to analyze the remodeling process of edentulous mandibles. Consequently, the development and application of a more simplified and objective radiographic procedure for broad and long-term study of remodeling procedures of edentulous mandible was recommended.

Objective : Hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (hMMD) is associated with a poor clinical course. Furthermore, poorer clinical outcomes occur in cases of recurrent bleeding. However, the effect of hemodynamic insufficiency on rebleeding risk has not been investigated yet. This study evaluated the prognostic implications of the perfusion status during the clinical course of adult hMMD. Methods : This retrospective study enrolled 52 adult hMMD patients between April 1995 and October 2010 from a single institute. Demographic data, clinical and radiologic characteristics, including hemodynamic status using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and follow up data were obtained via a retrospective review of medical charts and imaging. Statistical analyses were performed to explore potential prognostic factors. Results : Hemodynamic abnormality was identified in 44 (84.6%) patients. Subsequent revascularization surgery was performed in 22 (42.3%) patients. During a 58-month (median, range 3-160) follow-up assessment period, 17 showed subsequent stroke (hemorrhagic n=12, ischemic n=5, Actuarial stroke rate $5.8{\pm}1.4%/year$). Recurrent hemorrhage was associated with decreased basal perfusion (HR 19.872; 95% CI=1.196-294.117) and omission of revascularization (10.218; 95%; CI=1.532-68.136). Conclusion : Decreased basal perfusion seems to be associated with recurrent bleeding. Revascularization might prevent recurrent stroke in hMMD by rectifying the perfusion abnormality. A larger-sized, controlled study is required to address this issue.

Purpose: This study was conducted among patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy and groups of patients with or without Akin osteotomy were compared for evaluation of the relationship between their radiological and clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: From January 2009 to January 2012, among patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy at our institution, 28 cases with additional Akin osteotomy and 35 cases without Akin osteotomy available to follow up of more than one year were included in this study. For radiologic evaluation, hallux valgus angle, 1, 2 intermetatarsal angle, and hallux interphalangeal angle were measured before and after surgery. For clinical assessment, visual analogue scale score, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score, subjective satisfaction of the patients, and passive range of motion of the first metatarsophalangeal joints were evaluated. Results: At the final follow up, correction of valgus hallux angle and 1, 2 intermetatarsal angle was obtained from radiation results of both groups and it was found that patients who underwent Akin osteotomy showed radiographically larger angle correction but less subjective satisfaction. Conclusion: Patients with moderate to severe hallux valgus who underwent distal chevron osteotomy showed not only functional but also radiographically satisfactory results, and patients who underwent additional Akin osteotomy showed decreased subjective satisfaction. Therefore, if an incongruent first metatarsophalangeal joint is not observed, distal chevron osteotomy without Akin osteotomy seems preferable.
