Commercial plate bolus is generally used for treatment of surface tumor and required surface dose. We fabricated 3D-printed bolus by using 3D printing technology and usability of 3D-printed bolus was evaluated. RT-structure of contoured plate bolus in the TPS was exported to DICOM files and converted to STL file by using converting program. The 3D-printed bolus was manufactured with rubber-like translucent materials using a 3D printer. The dose distribution calculated in the TPS and compared the characteristics of the plate bolus and the 3D printed bolus. The absolute dose was measured inserting an ion chamber to the depth of 5 cm and 10 cm from the surface of the blue water phantom. HU and ED were measured to compare the material characteristics. 100% dose was distributed at Dmax of 1.5 cm below the surface when was applied without bolus. When the plate bolus and 3D-plate bolus were applied, dose distributed at 0.9 cm and 0.8 cm below the surface of the bolus. After the comparative analysis of the radiation dose at the reference depth, differences in radiation dose of 0.1 ~ 0.3% were found, but there was no difference dose. The usability of the 3D-printed bolus was thus confirmed and it is considered that the 3D-printed bolus can be applied in radiation therapy.

목 적 : 두경부 치료 시 환자의 고정을 위해 고정용 열성형가면(Thermoplastic mask, mask)을 사용한다. 치료 중 변동의 오차가 적은 정위적방사선수술에 사용되는 특수 제작된 마스크를 토모치료에 적용 했을 때 표면선량의 변화의 경향을 알아보고 유용성을 평가해보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 일반적인 마스크(conventional mask, C-mask)와 정위적방사선수술 마스크(SRS mask, S-mask)를 이용하여 인체팬텀(rando phantom)을 동일한 중심선으로 고정한 후 모의 치료를 실시하였다. 획득한 영상은 치료계획시스템(treatment planning system, TPS)을 이용하여 안와부와 침샘부위를 치료 부위로 설정하여 각 각의 토모치료계획을 세웠다. 마스크의 특성에 따른 표면선량 측정을 위해 정위적방사선수술 마스크를 기준으로 치료부위에 주변에 위치한 두꺼운 부분과 얇은 부분을 관심영역으로 설정하여 마스크의 종류에 따른 동일한 위치의 표면 선량을 비교해보았다. 그리고 토모치료기를 이용하여 모의치료와 동일한 조건으로 인체팬텀을 위치시키고 치료계획에서 설정된 관심영역의 위치에 Gafchromic EBT3 필름을 팬텀 표면에 부착 하여 마스크를 착용한 후 치료 조사하였다. 선량 농도 분석 시스템(RIT)을 이용하여 조사된 필름의 표면선량을 측정하여 마스크의 종류에 따른 표면선량 변화의 양상을 비교해보았다. 결 과 : TPS에서 마스크의 종류에 의한 표면선량 변화는 안와에서 0.65~2.53 Gy, 타액선에서 0.85~1.84 Gy의 측정 변화값을 보여주었다. Gafchromic EBT3 필름을 이용한 표면선량 측정에서는 안와에서 -0.2~+3.46 Gy, 타액선에서 1.04~3.02 Gy의 측정 변화값을 보여 주었다. Smask를 적용하였을 때 C-mask를 기준으로 하였을 때 TPS에서 최대 4.26% Gafchromic EBT3 필름에서 최대 5.82%의 각 각의 표면선량 증가 경향을 나타내었다. 결 론 : S-mask의 사용으로 인한 표면선량은 무작위적으로 변하였으나 대체적으로 유효한 범위 안에 들어옴을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 표면선량의 변화값을 극대화 하기 위해 표면에 위치한 표적을 실험 하였으며 치료 표적이 심부에 위치할 경우와 치료 계획의 조건에 따라 표면 선량은 더 감소할 것으로 생각되어지며 이는 마스크에 따른 표면선량의 차이는 피부 부작용에 영향을 미치지 않을 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 치료 중 또는 치료 간 위치변화 감소의 장점은 치료 표적이 작고 결정 장기가 밀접한 경우 S-mask의 두경부 치료 적용은 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

The digital surface model (DSM) is used for several purposes in photogrammetry, remote sensing and laser scanned data such as orthoimage production, contours erivation, extraction of height information. Creation of a surface model from point-clouds (3-D sparse points) that can be derived from stereo imagery and range data (e.g. laser scanned data) can be done with several mathematical interpolation models. In this paper, thin-plate-spline (TPS) is used for digital surface modeling. Determination of suitable weight is an important problem in thin-plate function for a surface. The Voronoi algorithm has been proposed as a method for determination of the weight in thin-plate-spline. In this paper, methods has been tested for different surfaces. The results show that thin-plate-spline can be independent of weight.

구강내 매식된 임프란트가 과도한 교합력이나 염증등의 이유로 구강내로 노출되었을 때 세균독소에 이완된 면을 제거하고 평활한 면을 형성하여 주위의 연조직, 경조직에 적합한 상태로 만들어 건강한 상태로 구강내에 유지하기 위해서 임프란트 매식체 표면을 기계적인 표면처리방법으로 처치하여 이러한 방법이 임프란트 표면성분, 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 실험을 실행하였다. IMZ사에서 제작한 직경 10mm, 높이 2mm의 원판 타이타늄을 이용하여 피막되지 않은 타이타늄면과 TPS면을 대조군으로 하고 기계적인 표면처리방법인 low speed stone bur처치면을 실험군으로 설정한 후 EDX로 타이타늄 표면성분을 분석하였고 주사전자현미경으로 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상을 관찰하였다. EDX에 의한 타이타늄 표면성분분석 결과 모든 실험군에서 titanium peak, 소량의 aluminum이 나타났으며 그외의 성분은 나타나지 않았다. 치은섬유아세포의 전개양상에 대한 주사전자현미경 관찰결과 평활한 타이타늄면에서 접종 30분 후 세사상돌기와 박판엽상으로 확장된 세포가 많이 관찰되며 6시간 후 신장된 치은섬유아세포가 시편에 밀착된 양상을 보였고 24시간 후 치은섬유아세포는 시편의 모든 면을 피개하며 가공시의 평행한 선을 따라 방향성을 띄었다. TPS가 잔존한 stone처치군에서 세포 접종 30분 후 세사상돌기가 적게 관찰되어 평활한 타이타늄면에 비해 초기부착이 늦은 것을 알 수 있었고 6, 24시간후 치은섬유아세포는 거친면으로 인해 시편에 밀착되지 못한 양상을 보였으나 평활한 타이타늄면과 연결되며 시편의 모든면을 피개하였다. TPS군에서 치은섬유아세포는 세포 접종 30분후 세사상돌기를 거의 찾아 볼 수 없어 초기부착이 다른군에 비해 늦으며 세포배양 6, 24시간후에도 시편에 밀착되지 못하고 박판상돌기가 가늘고 길게 돌출되어 여러면에 부착된 양상을 보였으며 세포가 부착되지 않은 TPS면이 관찰되었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to suggest an improved version of Proof-of-Nonce (PoN) algorithm, which is a distributed consensus algorithm used for block chain system. Methods: First, we used response surface method for design of experiment that is to generate experimental points considering non-linear relationship among variables. Then, we employed overlapped contour plots for visualizing the impact of control variables to performance target. Results: First, we modified the consensus procedure of the existing PoN algorithm by diminishing the content of the exchanged message. Then, we verified the performance improvement of the new PoN algorithm by performing a numerical experiment and paired t-test. Finally, we established new regression models for consensus time and Transactions per second (TPS) and proposed a method for optimizing control variables for obtaining performance target. Conclusion: We could improve the performance of the previous version of PoN algorithm by modifying the content of the exchanged message during 4-steps of consensus procedure, which might be a stepping stone for designing an efficient and effective consensus algorithm for blockchain system with dynamic operation environment.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate the geometrical accuracy of a patient-specific bolus based on a three-dimensional (3D) printed mold and casting method. Materials and Methods: Three breast cancer patients undergoing treatment for a superficial region were scanned using computed tomography (CT) and a designed bolus structure through a treatment planning system (TPS). For the fabrication of patient-specific bolus, we cast harmless certified silicone into 3D printed molds. The produced bolus was also imaged using CT under the same conditions as the patient CT to acquire its geometrical shape. We compared the shapes of the produced bolus with the planned bolus structure from the TPS by measuring the average distance between two structures after a surface registration. Results and Conclusions: The result of the average difference in distance was within 1 mm and, as the worst case, the absolute difference did not exceed ${\pm}2mm$. The result of the geometric difference in the cross-section profile of each bolus was approximately 1 mm, which is a similar property of the average difference in distance. This discrepancy was negligible in affecting the dose reduction. The proposed fabrication of patient-specific bolus is useful for radiation therapy in the treatment of superficial regions, particularly those with an irregular shape.

Dental implants have been widely used in the treatment of esthetic and functional problems of the mouth due to alveolar bone loss, after tooth extraction. The success of implantation strongly depends on osseointegration. For osseointegration, implant material, methodology, and design have been investigated. For materials, two popular materials at present are titanium and hydroxyapatite. For methods, immediate implantation is being used recently. The purpose of this study is to evaluate osseointegration between the unthreaded cylindrical TPS implant and the HA-coated implant by a histomorphometric analysis. For this analysis, experimental periodontits was induced on the 3, 4 premolars of adult dogs by the ligation of orthodontic threads. Thereafter, each tooth was extracted. TPS. Implants and HA-coated implants were immediately inserted in the extraction socket. In control group, TPS implants were immediately inserted, and In experimental group, HA implants were immediately inserted. The dogs were sacrificed after 12 weeks, then the specimens were prepared for LM and histomorphometric analysis. The conclusion of this study is as follows l. In both control and experimental group, no inflammatory cells were observed. 2. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the total osseointegration was 48.5% in control group, and 68.8% in expermental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant (p<0.05). 3. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the osseointegration in the hole was 40.6% in control group, and 70.2% in experimental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). In both control and experinental group, no inflammatory cells were observed. 4. The results of the histomorphometric analysis showed that the osseointegration in the lower part was 52.1% in control group, and 73.3% in experimental group. The experimental group was higher than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). 5. In experimental group, the bone to HA interface seemed to be mixed of bone and HA. We could not distinguish HA from the bone. The HA coating was detached from the titanium surface.

본 연구는 최근 생체내선량측정에서 유용성을 재평가 받고 있는 광자극발광선량계(optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters. OSLDs)와 다이오드 검출기를 병행하여 직장암 방사선치료 환자의 피부선량을 측정하고 치료계획시스템 에서 계산 선량과 측정 선량을 비교하여 OSL 선량계의 임상적 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 각 OSL 선량계의 고유한 교정상수를 측정하고 10 명의 직장암 환자를 대상으로 3 부위를 설정하여 측정하였다. 기준 흡수선량 100 cGy에 대하여 OSL 선량계의 교정상수는 6 MV X-선의 경우 1.17, 10 MV X-선의 경우 1.28 이었다. 또한 직장암 환자들의 피부선량은 측정 부위별로 치료계획시스템에서 계산 선량과 비교하여 다이오드 검출기는 1.16 ~ 2.83%의 선량증가를 보였고 OSL 선량계는 1.36 ~ 2.17%의 선량증가를 보였다. 특히 피부면의 굴곡이 심한 회음부(perineum)에서 계산된 선량과 전달 선량간 차이가 증가되었으며 다이오드 검출기보다 OSL 선량계가 측정값의 변화가 상대적으로 작았다. 따라서 OSL 선량계는 기존에 사용하던 이온함 및 다이오드 검출기를 대신하여 방사선량학적 오차의 검증 및 생체내선량측정에서 임상적으로 적용이 가능하였으며 직장암 환자의 굴곡이 심한 회음부 주변의 선량 평가에 대한 연구가 계속되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Reduced bone height is one of the major problems faced in restoring tooth loss with implants. By the use of short implants, it is possible to reduce complicated and invasive treatment such as bone graft, allowing more simple surgery. But short implants are generally considered to have lower success rates than that of standard implants. Purpose: To assess the results of short Straumann implants by a retrospective study of short Straumann implants with TPS(titanium plasma-sprayed) and SLA(sandblasted, large grit, acid etched) surfaces. Materials and methods: 173 implants in 106 patients who received short Straumann implant surgery(${\le}8\;mm$) in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Kyunghee Dental Hospital, from February 1996 to October 2006 were selected and studied. All of the implants were followed up after prosthetic rehabilitation. The average follow-up period was 34 months with 119 months as the longest follow up period. The average follow-up period after prosthetic rehabilitation was 31 months. 64 females(60.4%) and 42 males(39.6%) participated in the research with the age range of 19 to 85(mean age 47). 20 patients(18.9%) were under 40, 85 patients(80.2%) were over 40 and under 70, and only one patient(0.9%) was over 70 years old. Results: 27 implants(15.6%) had TPS surface while 146 implants(84.4%) had SLA surface. 9 implants(5.2%) were 3.3, 108 implans(62.4%) were 4.1mm and 56 implants(32.4%) were 4.8mm in diameter. 167 implants(96.5%) were 8mm and 6 implants(3.5%) were 6mm in length. There were 24 implants(13.9%) on the maxillas and 149 implants(68.8%) on the mandibles. 119 implants(68.8%) were rehabilitated with FPD(fixed partial denture), 47 implants(27.2%) with single crowns and 4 implants(2.3%) with overdentures. Among the fixed partial dentures, 30 of them were splinted with short implants only. After over an year of follow-up period, 139 implants(96.5%) out of 144 implants showed marginal bone loss of less than 1mm. 3 out of 173 implants failed showing 98.27% survival rate. Conclusions: The use of short Straumann implants(${\le}8mm$) can be a simple and reliable treatment method in minimal residual bone height.

Pulsed Nd : YAG LASER has been applied to various fields in clinical dentistry including the treatment of peri-implantitis. However, LASER can affect properties of matter of dental implants which are important to maintaining the health of peri-implant tissue and can raise its temperature during lasing. So there have been warings of using LASER to treat peri-implantitis. But, the effects of laser on dental implants itself are not certain yet. So we measured the temperature rising, examined matter of properties by SEM and EDX before and after pulsed Nd : YAG lasing various intensity. 7 TPS implants and 7 HPS implants were used and pulsed Nd : YAG LASER was used in 0.3W, 1.0W, and 2.0W. 1. 2.0W LASER made polished neck portion of HPS implants reach $39.2^{\circ}C$ after 5 seconds lasing. 2. LASER made crater-like defects on plasma sprayed surface and surfaces were melted and divided by fragments after lasing. 3. There was no specific evidence of element change after lasing.
