Abstract

In lateral projection imaging method of knee joint, a method that adjusts the incidence angle of central X-ray toward the head side to $5{\sim}7^{\circ}$ in true lateral position which is existing recommended is called imaging method A, Method of imaging the central X-ray perpendicular to the horizontal plane of the examination table toward the knee is called imaging method B, and a method in which the central X-ray is perpendicularly applied to the joints while the lateral side of the distal tibia is compensated by radiolucent materials is called as method C. After tests each imaging method to classified study subject respectively, the joint space distance and the distance between lateral and medial condyle of femur were measured and compared as the quantitative index from the three imaging methods. In addition, the convenience of each imaging method was confirmed through questionnaires to practician. According to the result of the quantitative index, there is no statistically significant difference in imaging method A and C(p>0.05). However, imaging method B showed a significant difference in both A and C(p<0.05). As a result of evaluating the convenience of the imaging method, imaging method A was relatively assessed lower in all items than imaging methods B and C, and as a small difference, imaging method B is assessed higher than C. In this study suggested new knee joint lateral projection imaging method, by using a simple support device, could describe joint space as not much different as existing recommended method without some complex process, and could increase convenience of the practician in the process of the imaging.

슬관절의 측면 촬영 검사방법에서 기존에 권고되고 있는 정 측면 자세에서 중심 X선의 입사 각도를 머리 쪽 $5{\sim}7^{\circ}$로 조정하는 방법을 검사방법 A, 중심 X선이 슬관절 강을 향해 검사대의 수평면과 수직으로 입사하는 방법을 검사방법 B, 경골 원위부(distal tibia)의 바깥 면(lateral side)을 방사선 투과성 물질(radiolucent materials)로 보상한(compensated) 상태에서 중심 X선을 관절 강에 수직 입사하는 방법을 검사방법 C로 분류하였다. 연구 대상자들을 분류하여 3가지 검사방법을 각각 시행한 후, 검사영상에서 관절 강 거리(joint space distance)와 양측과의 거리(both condyle distance)를 정량적 지표로 설정하여 이를 측정하고 비교하였다. 또한 각 검사방법의 편의성을 검사자(Practician)들을 대상으로 설문조사를 통해 확인하였다. 정량적 지표의 측정 결과 검사방법 A와 C는 통계적 분석 결과 특징적인 차이가 없었지만(p>0.05), 검사 방법 B는 A와 C 모두에서 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 검사방법의 편의성을 평가한 결과, 검사방법 A가 모든 항목에서 검사방법 B, C 보다 상대적으로 점수가 낮게 평가되었고, 검사방법 B와 C는 근소한 차이로 B가 높은 평가를 받았다. 본 연구를 통해 제안한 간단한 보조기구(support device)를 이용한 슬관절 측면 촬영 검사방법은 다소 복잡한 준비과정 없이도 기존의 권고 방법과 큰 차이가 없는 관절 강의 묘사가 가능하고, 검사의 진행과정에서 검사자의 편의성을 증가시킬 수 있었다.
