Abstract

The acute lumbar pain patients who were unavoidable to take MRI examination were made to take altered lateral recumbent position. they were also not able to control their painfulness and to be in supine position. In this study, it is supposed to increase success rate of the MRI examination through taking the altered lateral recumbent position in using spine and body matrix coil. This altered position made relaxing lumber pain and fatigue for the patients who suffered from sever lumber pain. In these reasons, it decreases the motion artifacts through correcting uncomfortable posture. As a result, qualitative analysis for the image quality was estimated to have average points of supine position A group(lateral recumbent position) of normal candidates and B group(lateral recumbent position) of the abnormal candidates who have sever pain at 4.64, 3.44, and 3.40, respectively. In conclusion, while qualitative analysis in the examination with supine position of the normal patients had significantly high points, the qualitative analysis in the examination with lateral recumbent position of the normal patients and abnormal patients who had sever lumbar pain was almost same. In addition, it was judged that radiologists' imagery interpretation had no other problems in the image evaluation of B group who had acute lumbar pain of abnormal patients. Hereupon, if this technique becomes generalized for the patients who suffer from supine position in the examination, it is supposed to be useful in medical field.

본 연구에서는 통증제어가 거의 불가능한 급성요통 환자를 대상으로 바로 누운 자세를 할 수 없는 환자에게 불가피하게 자기공명검사를 받아야할 환자를 위해 기존촬영방법인 정상 체위 바로 누운 자세 대신 변형된 옆으로 누운 자세를 취하게 하여 기존 척추 전용 코일과 복부 전용 코일을 이용하여 요통을 경감시키고 불안정한 자세 보정과 움직임에 의한 인공물을 줄여 장시간 검사를 받는 환자에게 피로감을 감소시켜 자기공명검사의 성공률을 높이고자 한다. 평가방법으로는 영상의 질을 정성적 평가로 하였으며 결과로는 정상인 연구대상자 기존촬영방법인 바로 누운 자세의 평균 점수는 4.64점, 정상인 연구대상자 옆으로 누운 자세(A군)는 3.44점, 극심한 요통을 호소하는 비정상인 연구대상자 옆으로 누운 자세(B군)는 3.40점으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 정상인 연구대상자의 기존촬영방법인 바로 누운 자세에서 검사한 정성적인 평가는 예상대로 높게 나타났으나 정상인 연구대상자 옆으로 누운 자세와 극심한 요통을 호소하는 비정상인 연구대상자 옆으로 누운 자세로 검사한 영상의 정성적 평가는 거의 비슷하게 나타났다. 또한 극심한 요통을 호소하는 비정상인 연구대상자 옆으로 누운 자세(B군)의 영상평가에서 영상의학과 전문의의 영상판독에도 문제가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 바로 누운 자세에서 검사를 진행함에 불편을 겪는 환자에게 이러한 기법이 보편화 된다면 임상에서 많이 활용될 것으로 사료된다.
