This study offered a new method to calculate absorbed dose of actual patients through Monte Carlo Simulation by using the linkage of Geant4 and DICOM, and, the experimental value of absorbed dose at the center and Geant 4 simulation result according to the depth of PMMA mock phantom were compared by using MOSEF in order to verify Geant4 calculation code. In the area where there was no air space between the irregular gap due to incomplete compression of PMMA slab, the differences were $0.46{\pm}4.69$ percent and $-0.75{\pm}5.19$percent in $15{\times}15cm^2$ and $20{\times}20cm^2$ respectively. Excluding the error due to incomplete compression of PMMA mock phantom, the calculation values of the Monte Carlo simulation by linkage of Geant4 and DICOM was the same.

In the PACS system, the radiology image(X-ray) and its report are saved as separated parts. The exchange of the radiology image between clinics that installed this system are easily achieved by the DICOM standardization. But it is difficult to exchange the radiology report between clinics because a solution of PACS system is different according to manufacturers. The radiology report should be unified the vocabulary and the type of code for effective sharing and exchanging, and also the radiology image and its report should be integrated for the accurate analysis. In this paper, we propose the sharing system of medical information based on HL7-CDA, it defines the templates and converts the structured documents. For this purpose, we design the XML schema of the radiology report and turn the DICOM files into defined schema. The HL7-CDA documents based on XML is easily displayed on web browser and can help the diagnosis by inserting the radiology image.

The recent 3D printing technology is used in various medical, manufacturing, and education fields and is more efficient in terms of production process, time, and cost than existing production. Especially in fracture surgery, interest and research have been focused on improving accuracy, shortening of operation time and recovery time, and reducing reoperation. However, because of the financial and technical problems of the 3D printer and the file conversion program, the 3D printing is made directly at the hospital, and it is not generally used for diagnosis of fracture and surgical research. In this study, to solve those problems, clavicle CT imaging was switched into Osirix Open Source DICOM Viewer, Stereolithography file conversion programs and commercial Terarecon 3D DICOM Viewer, file conversion programs, and then clavicle fracture model was directly made through 3D printer of fused filament fabrication wire additive processing method, and then the accuracy of the shape was compared and analyzed. Clavicle fracture models printed in two methods were blind-tested on clinicians of general hospitals' orthopedics and radiologic technicians with over 10 years of experiences, and then their analysis opinions of resolution reviews were analyzed. The result showed no difference. The 3D printing model with open source DICOM STL file conversion program used was applicable to clinical, so it is considered useful in precision diagnosis of fracture and operation plans.

DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) imaging plays a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of the human body, and design modeling is a technology of planning shapes in three dimensions according to the purpose. In this study, we converge these two technologies to observe the relationships of the cross-section, volume, and surface area to the morphological changes of the external ear canal. The experiment applied medical imaging technologies to acquire sections of the human body to create and divide centerlines using 3D shapes extracted from 19 external ear canals by applying stereolithography and 3-matic program. The results showed that the cross-sectional structure of the external ear canal had various shapes, such as oval (38.5%), semicircular (28.2%), mixed (17.9%), square (10.2%), and wrinkled (5.1%). In addition, the cross-sectional area of each phase increased as the length of the external ear canal increased, and the volume and surface area decreased towards the direction of the eardrum. However, the surface area reduction rate was relatively low. This indicates that the structure becomes irregular towards the direction of the eardrum.

Radiation therapy is one of the beneficial choices in the treatment of cancer. This is a comparison of TPS(Treatment Planning System) and GEANT4-DICOM, which should be preceded by the best radiation therapy. A treatment plan for prostate cancer was established with Eclipse and the point doses 366.1 cGy, 189.1 cGy, 213.4 cGy, 127 cGy, 105.7 cGy of any five prostate, bladder, rectum, right femoral head and left femoral head were identified. GEANT4-DICOM simulation showed that the results of Eclipse and ${\pm}2%$ dose error were confirmed. The monthly X-ray output agreement management value recommended by TG-142 is ${\pm}2%$, which means that the experimental results can be meaningful. In conclusion, GEANT4-DICOM is an infinite way to obtain more extended dose information once the time constraints are overcome in the simulation.

본 논문에서는 DICOM 영상을 UPnP Server로 구현된 PACS 서버를 설계하고 UPnP Renderer를 이용하여 스트리밍 전송으로 화면에 출력하고 전송하여 병원에서의 진단 진료 시스템의 효율을 높일 수 있고 사용자 서비스적 관점의 이동형 의료정보시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 본 논문에서의 DICOM 엔진은 PACS 에서의 영상 취득 서버의 과부화 문제를 해결하고 의료 정보통합의 과정에서 다양한 프로세싱 방법으로 사용될 것이며, 홈 네트워크나 PnP 기능으로 제한되어 있던 UPnP 미들웨어의 다양한 서비스 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

A medical teleconferencing and medical image transmision system has been developed for diagnosis of the medical images between the medical doctors who are far away. The medical teleconferencing system transmits the voice and image of the doctors using the video and audio capture boards. The medical image transmission system software uses the medical image standard DICOM 3.0 for the future expansibility and the open system interconectivity. The medical images usually use CR images.

In this paper, we proposed a downscaled 3D object technique using medical images for telediagnostic use. The proposed system consisted of downscaling/thresholding processes for building a downscaled 3D object and a process for obtaining 2D images at specific angles for diagnosis support. We used 80 slices of Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine(DICOM) CT images as sample images and the platform-independent Java language for the experiment. We confirmed that the total image set size and transmission time of the original DICOM image set using a down-scaled 3D object decreased approximately $99\%\;and\;98.41\%,$ respectively. With additional studies, the proposed technique obtained from these results will become useful in supporting diagnosis for home and hospital care.

본 논문에서는 현재 의료부분에 많은 혜택을 주는 PACS라는 시스템을 중소병원에 맞게 설계하였다. PACS는 초기 도입 비용과 불확실한 투자효과에 의해서 많은 개인, 중소병원들이 도입하기 어려워하는 시스템 중 하나였다. 그러한 문제점으로 현재 대형병원에서만 사용 중인 PACS를 중소 병원급 PACS 시스템으로 연구하는데 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 병원 정보 시스템을 수용하면서도 Full PACS의 네트워크 관리모듈의 비중과 시스템 연동을 위한 WorkList Server 기능을 제한하고 특정기기에 대한 생산성 향상을 목적으로 전체가 아닌 단위별로 운영되는 중소병원용 Departmental PACS에 대해 기술하였다.
