과냉각된 melt-spun $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$리본의 급속응고속도 및 열처리에 따른 보자력의 변화를 조사하였으며, 이 결과를 분석하기 위하여 비정질로 부터의 결정화 거동을 연구하였다. 리본 제조시 급속응고속도가 증가함에 따라 결정화 후의 고유 보자력은 감소하였다. $Nd_{14.73}Fe_{78.67}B_{6.60}$ 비정질은 안정한 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상으로 결정화하는 과정에서 $\alpha$-Fe와 $Fe_3B$ 상이 생성된다. $Fe_3B$ 상은 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상이 결정화됨과 동시에 사라지나 $\alpha$-Fe 상은 완전히 결정화된 이후에도 기지상인 $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ 상과 함께 잔류한다. 열처리된 리본내에 잔류하는 연자성상인 $\alpha$-Fe에 의해 고유 보자력의 특성이 저하하였다.

부산대학교 병원 정형외과학 교실에서는 24례의 신경초종 환자를 치험하였고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 신경초종은 성인에 대개 단일성으로 발생하며 주로 상지의 굴곡면에서 촉진가능한 무통성 종괴를 주소로 내원하게 되며 자기공명영상을 이용하면 거의 확진 가능하고 수술상에서도 신경에서 흔히 편심성으로 위치하며 병소 변연부 절제술로 적출이 용이하였으며 합병증으로 감각이상과 표재성 감염이 드물게 발생했지만 일시적이었고, 악성화하거나 재발한 경우는 없었다. 따라서 자기공명영상은 병소의 부위와 범위파악에 유용하며 병소 변연부 절제술은 재발없이 신경초종을 치유할 수 있는 방법으로 권장될 수 있다.

Temporomandibular joint(TMJ) disorders have characteristic clinical findings such as pain, joint sound, and abnormal jaw function. With the rapid progress in TMJ imaging techniques, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) especially provides the clinician and researcher with the ability to evaluate TMJ disorders(effusion, anterior disk displacement) and the hard and soft tissue of the TMJ. In order to manage the internal derangement of TMJ such as anterior disk displacement, the so-called appliance therapy is commonly used. This technique became the treatment of choice before surgical intervention by many practitioners. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and determine the efficacy of anterior repositioning splint by means of the change of the position of the disk through pre- and post-treatment MRI. MRI and clinical symptom were carefully recorded in TMJ disorder patients. The relationship between TMJ symptoms such as pain, clicking sound, and disk displacement and effusion in MRI were analyzed. Then, splint therapy was applied for 3 months according to our protocol; at day 1, patients should wear 24 hours, in order to accomodate the splint and then, wearing time is reduced to 12 hours per day for one month. During next 2 months, it is tapered to 8 hours per day according to the evaluation of the clinical symptoms. Post-treatment MRI was obtained after 3 month protocol. This treatment strategy improved the clinical symptoms of TMJ disorder, and effusion and articular disk position showed a significant change. In conclusion, a treatment modality using an anterior repositioning splint therapy is an appropriate method for temporomandibular disorder patients.

Background: Magnetic resonance (MR) image guided radiation therapy system, enables real time MR guided radiotherapy (RT) without additional radiation exposure to patients during treatment. However, MR image lacks electron density information required for dose calculation. Image fusion algorithm with deformable registration between MR and computed tomography (CT) was developed to solve this issue. However, delivered dose may be different due to volumetric changes during image registration process. In this respect, synthetic CT generated from the MR image would provide more accurate information required for the real time RT. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 1,209 MR images from 16 patients who underwent MR guided RT. Structures were divided into five tissue types, air, lung, fat, soft tissue and bone, according to the Hounsfield unit of deformed CT. Using the deep learning model (U-NET model), synthetic CT images were generated from the MR images acquired during RT. This synthetic CT images were compared to deformed CT generated using the deformable registration. Pixel-to-pixel match was conducted to compare the synthetic and deformed CT images. Results and Discussion: In two test image sets, average pixel match rate per section was more than 70% (67.9 to 80.3% and 60.1 to 79%; synthetic CT pixel/deformed planning CT pixel) and the average pixel match rate in the entire patient image set was 69.8%. Conclusion: The synthetic CT generated from the MR images were comparable to deformed CT, suggesting possible use for real time RT. Deep learning model may further improve match rate of synthetic CT with larger MR imaging data.

We have investigated a coronal jet observed near the limb on 2010 June 27 by the Hinode/X-Ray Telescope (XRT), EUV Imaging Spectrograph (EIS), and Solar Optical Telescope (SOT), and the SDO/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA), Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI), and on the disk by STEREO-A/EUVI. From EUV (AIA and EIS) and soft X-ray (XRT) images we have identified both cool and hot jets. There was a small loop eruption in Ca II images of the SOT before the jet eruption. Using high temporal and multi wavelength AIA images, we found that the hot jet preceded its associated cool jet by about 2 minutes. The cool jet showed helical-like structures during the rising period. According to the spectroscopic analysis, the jet's emission changed from blue to red shift with time, implying helical motions in the jet. The STEREO observation, which enabled us to observe the jet projected against the disk, showed that there was a dim loop associated with the jet. We have measured a propagation speed of ~800 km/s for the dimming front. This is comparable to the Alfven speed in the loop computed from a magnetic field extrapolation of the HMI photospheric field measured 5 days earlier and the loop densities obtained from EIS Fe XIV line ratios. We interpret the dimming as indicating the presence of Alfvenic waves initiated by reconnection in the upper chromosphere.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not acupuncture of GB34 produces a significant response of the modulation of somatomotor areas by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study. The acupoint, GB34, located in the back of the knee, is known to be effective in recovering motor function after stroke. Using 3T MRI scanner, functional MR imaging of the whole brain was performed in 12 normal healthy subjects during two stimulation paradigms; acupuncture manipulation on GB 34 and sham points. This study investigates the activation of the mortor cortex elicited by a soft and an intensified stimulation of GB 34. Three different paradigms were carried out to detect any possible modulation of the Blood Oxygenation Level Dependent (BOLD) response in the somatomortor area to motor stimulation through acupuncture. Group analysis from seven individuals showed that bilateral sensorimotor areas (BA 3,4,6 and 7) showed stimulation related BOLD signal contrast of approximately 6% whereas very few areas were activated when sham stimulation is given. The present study shows that acupuncture fMRI study can be safely conducted in 3T MRI environment, and acupuncture stimulation in GB34 modulates the cortical activities of the somatomotor area in human. The present findings may shed light on the CNS mechanism of motor function by acupuncture and form a basis for future investigations of motor modulation circuits in the stroke patients.

Background The typical clinical symptoms of glomus tumors are pain, tenderness, and sensitivity to temperature change, and the presence of these clinical findings is helpful in diagnosis. However, the tumors often pose diagnostic difficulty because of variations in presentation and the nonspecific symptoms of glomus tumors. To the best of our knowledge, few studies have reported on the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing glomus tumors in patients with unspecific symptoms. Methods The inclusion criteria of this study were: having undergone surgery for subungual glomus tumor of the hand, histopathologic confirmation of glomus tumor, and having undergone preoperative MRI. Twenty-one patients were enrolled. The characteristics of the tumors and the presenting symptoms including pain, tenderness, and sensitivity to temperature change were retrospectively reviewed. Results Five out of 21 patients (23%) did not show the typical glomus tumor symptom triad because they did not complain of pain provoked by coldness. Nevertheless, preoperative MRI showed well-defined small soft-tissue lesions on T1- and T2-weighted images, which are typical findings of glomus tumors. The tumors were completely resected and confirmed as glomus tumor histopathologically. Conclusions Early occult lesions of glomus tumor in the hand may not be revealed by physical examination because of their barely detectable symptoms. Moreover, subungual lesions may be particularly difficult to evaluate on physical examination. Our cases showed that MRI offers excellent diagnostic information in clinically undiagnosed or misdiagnosed patients. Preoperative MRI can accurately define the character and extent of glomus tumor, even though it is impalpable and invisible.

RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링으로 제조한 Fe/CoNbZr 다층박막의 구조 및 열처리 조건에 따르는 고주파 연자기 특성을 연구하였다. Fe층의 두께가 5nm일 때 1.1Oe의 최소보자력을 얻었으며, Fe층의 두께가 15nm일 때 100Mz에서 2300의 최대 투자율을 얻었으며, 약 20 kG의 높은 포화자화를 얻었다. Fe층의 두께가 증가함에 따라 보자력이 증가하는 것은 결정립 크기에 의한 것이며, Fe층의 두께가 얇을 경우 계면에서의 CoFe과 같은 높은 자기변형의 혼합층 형성으로 인해 투자율이 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 300 $^{\circ}C$에서 40분간 일축자장 열처리를 행하여서 보자력 0.35 Oe, 투자율 2500을 얻었다. 또한 250및 30$0^{\circ}C$ 열처리에서만 연자기 특성이 향상되었다. 이는 최적의 Fe의 격자변형과 일측 이방성의 발달로 자기이방성에너지의 감소에 의한 것으로 판단된다.

110$\AA$ 두께의 Mumetal 박막을 자기장하에서 기판온도를 변화시키면서 제작하고, 고진공 분위기에서 자기장중 열처리를 수행하였다. 박막에 유도되는 자기이방성은 인가자기장 방향에서 30$^{\circ}$간격으로 180$^{\circ}$까지 자기이력곡선을 측정하여 조사하였다. 기판 온도가 증가할수록 용이축 방향의 보자력은 감소하였으나 일축이방성은 인가자기장 방향에서 벗어났다. 20$0^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 동안 자기장중 열처리를 수행하면 기판온도에 상관없이 일축이방성이 향상되었다. 기판온도가 5$0^{\circ}C$ 이하일때 4.3 Oe의 이방성 자기장을 나타냈으며 기판온도가 증가할수록 이방성 자기장은 감소하였다. Mumetal 박막의 일축이방성은 열처리 전후 모두 5$0^{\circ}C$에서 가장 잘 유도되었다.

The detection of lymph node metastasis is an important step in tumor staging and is significant for therapy planning. It has been challenged to yield an appropriate image with diagnostic methods such as Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT). Though CT has been used widely and accessed easily to show internal organs, it can hardly provide difference between lymph node and adjacent vessel or fat tissue. It has been well established that MR can reveal the subtle discrepancy within soft tissue. This study investigated the suitability of MR lymph node imaging without contrast enhancement by comparison of T1-weighted image (T1WI) and T2- weighted image (T2WI) in ten normal rabbits. According to the pulse sequence optimized from preliminary study, T1-weighted spin-echo (repetition time/echo time=400/12 ms) and T-2 weighted fast spin-echo (repetition time/echo time=3500/84 ms) images covering the hind limbs and pelvic region were acquired at 1.5 T. Two radiologists scrupulously evaluated the MR images in consensus. And signal intensity of lymph nodes was compared with that of adjacent fat. Statistical analysis showed that T1-weighted coronal image visualized the lymph nodes (iliac, superficial inguinal and popliteal lymph nodes) quickly and consistently rather than T2-weighted one. Conclusively, T1WI for evaluation of lymph nodes is moderately better than T2WI and appears to have potential for quick and sufficient mapping of the lymph nodes. In addition, this normal MR image of lymph nodes could be applied to further study for the evaluation of lymphatic system in abscess and tumor bearing animal model.
