The purpose of this study was to determine whether PNF respiratory convergence exercise increases the pulmonary function of normal adults by $45^{\circ}$ leaning sitting position. Twenty normal adults in their 20s were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=10) or control group (n=10). Over the course of four weeks, the experimental group participated in PNF respiration exercises by $45^{\circ}$ leaning position for 30 minutes three per week. And the control group participated in PNF respiration exercises by supine position for 30 minutes three times per week. Subjects were assessed pre-test and post-test by measurement of pulmonary function. Our findings show that the experimental group had significant improvements in expiratoy reserve volume and vital capacity, maximal voluntary volume. In this study, the experimental group showed greater improvement in pulmonary function than the control group, which indicates that the PNF respiratory exercise by $45^{\circ}$ leaning sitting position is effective at increasing the pulmonary function of normal adults.

Electroencephalography (EEG) is used for the diagnosis of epilepsy and testing the brain function. Clinical technologists are responsible for recording EEG without artifacts in accordance with the international 10~20 electrode system. Training on these techniques requires practical education. In the case of EEG, however, it is difficult for trainees to find the correct location of the electrode. Therefore, this study compared the time spent to locate the electrode attachment between traditional tape and the newly developed band. The time spent for sitting position patients using the band (196.7±61.8s) was 1084.3 s faster than the tape (1,281.0±457.4s) (P<0.001). Furthermore, the spend time spent for lying position patients using the band (200.2±49.3s) was 1217.7s faster than the tape (1417.9±482.3s) (P<0.001). Measurements using the band showed fewer differences due to various factors, such as position, practical experience, and gender. The newly developed band can locate the correct electrode attachment position quickly and efficiently, which has been a difficult problem in EEG practical education. In addition, this band is expected to be applied widely by new clinical technologists in the clinical field. Nevertheless, more study will be required to verify the accuracy of the location of the attaching electrode.

위 X선 검사에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법은 충만법, 2중조영법, 압박법, 점막법, 유동법이 있으며, 검사목적에 따라 각 방법을 조합하여 실시하고 있다. 따라서 각 검사법의 장 단점과 촬영체위에 따르는 위의 묘출영역을 알아둘 필요가 있다. 이것을 이해하기 위해서는 위의 해부학적 위치관계를 알고 있어야 한다. 또한 입위(선자세)와 와위(누운자세), 체위변환을 할 때에 위의 형태가 변화되는 것을 알아야 하며, 더욱 위의 형태는 개인에 따라 심한 차이가 있어 임기응변으로 대응을 할 수 있는 능력이 있어야한다. 따라서 위 X선검사를 잘 하기 위해서는 일반촬영과 달라서 병리해부학적인 성상을 잘 알고 검사에 대응해야 하며, 위 X선검사는 지속적인 연수와 훈련이 필요한 촬영법이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how much the movement at X-ray examinations like breathing or the positioning affects the image during chest or abdomen X-ray examination so as to create an image containing information as much as possible. The study method adopted is doing the X-ray in each of the states including breathing (inspiration & expiration) and movement in the standing chest PA X-ray and simple abdomen X-ray among the kinds of examination selected the most in hospitals and then evaluating them by applying the standards of image evaluation for each region. According to the study result, about the standing chest PA X-ray, the images taken at inspiration contain more information than those taken at expiration or having subtle movement during the examination. About the simple abdomen X-ray, the images taken at expiration contain more information than those taken at inspiration or movement. The above study results imply that regarding general X-ray examination, information we can find from the images may differ significantly according to the region examined, examination purpose, or movement during the examination like breathing.

Because the arm can't be sutured due to fracture during a elbow CT scan, a CT scan is proceeded in a state of abdomen and L-spire are overlapped which beam hardening artifact is done many times, and it often lowers the quality of elbow CT images. So there are many difficulties in reading and due to increase in radiation dose from it, the number of patient's exposure keeps increasing. In this research, it plans to improve the quality of the images by avoiding overlap with abdomen, and increasing the number of photon overlapped with lung field which the line attenuation is relatively small. The way of experiment is based on patient's right elbow and place him as head first position, then place his elbow at L2-3 level in supine position, turn about 30 degrees to the left in non-control breathing and in supine position, and compared with full inspiration after overlapping with lung. After figuring out the average value and standard deviation data using Image J program 5 times each for 16, 128 channels, the evaluation is proceeded by measuring each of CNR, MSR are statistically analyzed using SPSS program. Therefore, through positioning and inspiration during elbow CT scan, the way of inspection minimized the exposure radiation dose, and seems to be meaningful in a way to improve the quality of the images.

Objectives : Informations on pulse diagnosis in literature are based on diagnosing pulse waveforms on supine posture. However, today's pulse waveforms are measured on various postures for the convenience of patients or doctors. For objective measurement, the effect of posture on the pulse waveforms should be considered. The objective of this study was to find posture-related changes in the radial pulse waveforms. Methods : We used an instrument, DMP-3000(DAEYOMEDI Co., Ansan, Korea), measuring radial pulse waveforms noninvasively by tonometric method. 25 male subjects participated in the trial. Before measuring radial pulse waveforms subjects had rest for 5 min. The pulse waveforms were measured on the left wrist. Each subject underwent this course on the supine, sitting, and standing posture. We analyzed pulse waveforms with Height-parameters, Time-parameters, Energy, and Elastic rate. Results : Height-parameters(h1~h5) on the supine posture were bigger than those on the sitting and standing posture. In case of Time-parameters, the parameters making up systolic time decrease in order of on standing, sitting, and supine position. However, systolic time and diastolic time didn't have any changes. Energy of pulse was the biggest on supine posture and Elastic rate on standing posture. Conclusions : In this study we found that posture changes affect radial pulse waveforms. For quantification of the changes, more trials should be done. After analyzing much data we might apply parameters of pulse waveforms changed by posture. Also, we might diagnose special disease with properties of pulse waveforms by posture.

목 적 : 병소가 바깥쪽 측면(far-lateral targets)에 위치한 경우 감마나이프 방사선 시술이 어렵다. 저자들은 새로운 식을 도입하여 치료 좌표계를 변환시키고 환자를 측면으로 눕혀 시술이 가능함을 보고하고자 한다. 대상 : 통상적으로 병소 위치가 X축 좌표 51.5mm-148.5mm 범위 내에 있는 경우, 감마나이프는 반듯이 누운 자세에서 시술을 한다. 그러나 병소가 바깥쪽 측면에 위치한 경우(51.5mm-148.5mm 범위를 벗어난 경우) 환자는 측면으로 굽혀진 상태에서만 시술이 가능하며 이때 환자 머리에 고정한 정위기구의 전면부분은 일직선 타입이어야 한다. 환자의 치료 자세가 90도 만큼 회전된 상태이므로 X축과 Y축이 서로 치환된다. 새로운 좌표계는 감마플랜에서 계산된 방사선 조사량의 각각 좌표계들이 새로운 식에 대입하여 얻어진다. 새로운 X축 좌표는 43mm 만큼 증가하였으며 범위는 30mm-170mm 이였다. 결과 : 환자를 측면으로 눕혀서 바깥쪽 측면 병소를 시술하는 방법은 방사선 조사 중심 위치의 정확도에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 새로운 X축과 Y축 좌표계는 새로운 식으로 쉽게 치환 변환된다. 결론 : 측면으로 누워서 시술하는 방법은 X축 좌표 범위를 증가시킬 수 있었으며 감마나이프 장비에서 X축의 이축 편위 (trunnion excursion) 한계 때문에 시술을 할 수 없는 경우의 수를 줄일 수 있었다. 이 방법은 바깥쪽 측면에 위치한 병소 시술에 매우 요긴하게 사용되며 특히 여러 개의 병변을 갖고 있는 전이성 뇌종양 질환에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 방법으로 기대된다.

This study was done to determine a new qualitative base for educating and evaluating patients by comparing a 60 or over age group with a 20-30 age group when rising from supine to erect stance. Sixty normal adults were devided into 60 or over and 20-30 aged groups. Each persons was asked to standing from the supine position. This process was recorded by two video cameras. The results was classified into the three existing movement categories. And then they were analyzed by percent rate. The results showed that each group had its own different and special characteristics. This means that physical therapists need to select the best motor patterns according to age in teaching functional tasks such as rising from supine to erect stance.

Monte Carlo method was applied to discriminate the external contamination on radiation workers in nuclear power plants for internal dose assessment generally used with a bed type scanning detector whole body counter. Korean voxel model with internal contamination was used to estimate the detection patterns of whole body scanning. Also, the BOMAB model with various external contamination was assumed to compare with detection of radionuclides inside the human body. From the comparison of detection efficiency between front and back side up, external contamination was easily distinguished.
