  • This study was conducted to survey of the musculoskeletal disorders of radiological technologists and prevalence rate survey tool of musculoskeletal symptoms targeting the radiological technologists working currently in hospitals or clinics. For this study, survey was conducted from July 10th, 2011 to July 31st, 2011 for about 20 days with subject of radiological technologists in private clinics, hospitals, general hospitals and University hospitals. The main results of this study are as follows : First, frequency analysis on presence of musculoskeletal symptoms in each part of body showed that neck area was 22.5 %, shoulder area was 33.1 %, arm / elbow area was 8.3 %, hand / wrist / finger area was 15.5 %, waist area was 32.4 %, leg / foot area was 16.9% (p<0.05). Second, the results from summarizing the descriptive statistics of job stress, psychosocial stress and fatigue showed that the average of job stress was 2.48 out of Likert 4 points scale, the average of psychosocial stress was 2.27 out of Likert 4 points scale. Job stress was a little bit higher than the psychosocial stress. In case of fatigue, the average was 4.57 out of Likert 7 points scale and it was a slightly higher than 'normal' (p<0.05). In conclusion, we hope this study will be helpful to systematically and efficiently manage the resources as the basic material upon deploying the preventive measures about the musculoskeletal disorders of radiological technologists in the future.

  • The purpose of this study is to assess the usefulness of thermography in patients with musculoskeletal disease. Thermography is noninvasive, easy to reading, objective and physiologic instrument by measuring and imaging infrared energy emitted from skin surface. Thermography can show the skin temperature changes in various conditions of the body with musculoskeletal disease. This literature review was done for the usefulness of thermography in diagnosing musculoskeletal disease. In conclusion, thermography was adapted in radiculopathy, MPS, peripheral neuropathy, RSD, Raynaud's phenomen, TMJ dysfunction, etc. It was useful as a secondary diagnostic method in those diseases, also possible as a primary diagnostic method in RSD, Raynaud's phenomen. And, it might be reliable tool for estimating disease procedure and consequence after treatment. But, the objectivity of the reading and the development of the operating method are required for further adaptation in musculoskeletal disease.
