Until recently the German and the South Korean medical associations reacted cautiously to the introduction of telemedicine between doctor and patient which is exclusively on the platform conducted. But the General Assembly of German Physicians voted to lift the ban on remote treatment with the amendment to Section 7 (4) MBO-Ä(Medical Association's Professional Code of Conduct) in 2018 and the situation has been fundamentally changed in Germany. From then until now 16 of 17 rural medical associations have changed their professional code to allow telemedicine. In addition the legislature started to prepare the basis for the introduction of the electronic health card (eGK) and the telematics infrastructure. So far, various laws such as Medicinal Products Act, Drug Advertisement Act and Social Code have been changed to support legalization of telemedicine and digitalization of health care. Unlike in Germany, the social circumstances such as excessive centralization of the big hospitals in Seoul and the resulting concern of small medical practices for profitability are the main obstacles to the introduction of telemedicine. However the German approach how to legalise the telemedicine and to prepare for legal and technical infrastructure is also interesting in South Korea. The discussions for and against the changes in the law and the telematics infrastructure attempted by the German government for several years indicate that not only lifting the ban on remote treatment, but also harmonization of all the related legal system could guarantee successful implementation of telemedicine.

1895년 독일 과학자 Wilhelm Roentgen 박사가 X-ray를 발견하고 미국의 Herman Carr가 MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)의 기본 원리를 개발하여 발표한 이후 전자기장을 이용한 비침습적 의료영상 이미지 시스템은 놀라운 발전을 계속하여 왔다. 하지만, X-ray, CT(Computed Tomography), PET(Positron Emission Tomography)의 경우는 방사능의 사용과 조영제의 독성이라는 문제로 인하여 안전성에 대한 계속적인 문제를 야기해왔고 상대적으로 안전성이 입증된 MRI의 경우는 장비 자체 및 운용비가 일반화되기에는 고가여서 우리나라를 포함한 선진국에서도 아주 제한적으로 운영되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 세계적으로도 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 안전하면서도 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 운용이 가능한 의료영상장비를 개발하기 위하여 많은 노력들이 경주되고 있어 관련 연구동향 및 산업화 동향을 소개하고자 한다.

국내는 수년전부터 저탄소 녹색성장 산업화에 부응하기 위하여 기존의 자동차, 가전 전자관련 산업뿐만 아니라 IT부품 및 반도체, 의료, 항공, 조선 등 첨단 및 주력산업의 고부가가치 부품생산에 있어서 에너지 절약과 효율향상을 위한 경량화 요구가 증대되면서 보다 진보된 기구방식의 초정밀 소성가공 성형 시스템인 서보모터 구동형 프레스 개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서보모터 구동형 프레스 관련 에코 인증 규격 설정을 위하여 일본, 독일 등 선도국들의 에코인증제도 운용 현황 및 국제 표준화 동향 등을 살펴보고 소개하고자 한다.

The importance of radiation dose display of medical X-ray equipment was emphasized, while third edition of IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 60601 started to apply. The existing medical X-ray equipment selected a method for attaching the DAP(Dose Area Product) meter when the dose display. However, because the DAP meter was dependent on all of the income, And it did not yet produced in Korea. So, we received the support of Seoul R&BD Program(Grants No. C1152055) to produce DAP meter prototype of the Domestically technology. In this study, the performance of this prototype was evaluated by comparing the German company's product Evaluation item was an electronic capture performance, radiation dose dependence, radiation quality dependence, energy transmittance, repeatability, light transmittance of 6 entries. And IEC 60580 was based on this evaluation. Evaluation results were electronic capture performance intrinsic error 9.5%, radiation dose dependence limits of variation 1%, repeatability coefficient of variation 2%, energy transmittance 91% each assessment was passed. However radiation quality dependence limits of variation 29%, light transmittance 55% was less than acceptance criteria.
