Abstract

Flow phantom with stenosis was manufactured using an auto-injector to obtain angiostenotic flow information and quality assurance (QA) for ultrasound diagnostic instrumentation. Effectiveness of manufactured flow phantom with stenosis was investigated with power Doppler that was known to have diagnostic efficiency for angiostenosis. The flow phantom with stenosis was manufactured to 70% stenosis with 8 mm and 2.4 mm silicon tube, and silicone tube was covered with gelatin that has acoustic characteristics similar to soft tissue. When the linear transducer was used for measurement, the estimated diameter of normal vessel was measured lower than that of normal value, and the estimated diameter of stenosed vessel was measured higher than that of normal value. The measured parameters were not affected except for the radical conditions such as gain of 60%, PRF of 3000 Hz, use of maximal filter or angle. In addition, when the convex transducer was used for measurement, measurement parameters were affected by gain, PRF, filter, and angle. Therefore it is expected that flow phantom with stenosis manufactured with an auto-injector will be utilized effectively for QA of angiostenotic diagnosis.

혈관협착의 혈류 정보와 초음파 진단장비의 품질보증을 위한 혈관협착 팬텀을 자동 주입기를 이용하여 제작하였다. 혈관협착의 진단에 효율성이 높은 파워 도플러를 이용하여 제작된 혈관 협착 팬텀의 유용성을 조사하고, 초음파 영상 파라메타에 따른 혈관협착의 정도를 확인하였다. 혈관 협착 팬텀은 직경이 각각 8mm와 2.4mm인 실리콘 튜브로 혈관협착이 70%가 되도록 제작하였으며, 인체 조직과 유사한 음향 특성을 가지고 있는 젤라틴을 이용하여 실리콘 튜브를 감싸 주었다. 평면형 탐촉자를 이용하여 측정하였을 때 정상 혈관의 직경은 대체적으로 감소되어 측정 되었으며, 협착 혈관의 직경은 증가되어 측정되었다. 이득이 60% 이상, PRF가 3000Hz 이상, 필터가 max와 같은 급격한 변화를 제외하고는 각각의 파라메타에 크게 영향을 받지 않았으며, 각도에는 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 곡면형 탐촉자를 이용할 경우 이득, PRF, 필터, 각도등에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제작된 자동주입기를 이용한 혈관 협착 팬텀은 혈관 협착 진단의 품질보증에 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
