This study was performed to find out the effect of projection errors on cephalometric linear and angular measurements according to head rotation during taking lateral cephalometric radiographs. Seventeen skulls with permanent dentition and no gross asymmetry were obtained from the Department of Anatomy, Medical School, Chosun University. Total 527 x-ray films were taken with $1^{\circ}$ interval from the reference position($0^{\circ}$) to ${\pm}15^{\circ}$ around the vertical axis (Z axis) which is perpendicular to the midpoint of the line connecting the center of two ear rods in submento-vertex direction. Statistical analysis was performed by paired t-test if there were statistically significant differences between the mean of the reference position($0^{\circ}$) and that of each rotation angle. The following results were obtained. 1. The projection errors of angular measurements were smaller than those of linear measurements. 2. The projection errors of angular measurements including midline landmarks were smaller than those including bilateral landmarks. 3. The horizontal linear measurements were gradually decreased when the stroll was rotated toward the film, but slightly increased and then decreased when the skull was rotated toward the focal spot. However, the changes were smaller in focal direction. 4. The projection errors of horizontal linear measurements were larger than those of vertical linear measurements. 5. The projection errors of vertical linear measurements were increased with increased distance from the rotation axis to vertical measurements. It is concluded that the use of angular measurements rather than linear measurements is recommended to minimize the projection errors.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of angulation changes of head posture on the enlargement ratios of a lateral headfilm depending on the vortical or horizontal rotation of the objects. A device was constructed to measure regional changes of enlargement ratios. The device was held within the cephalostat and cephalograms recorded at each measured degrees of the device tilting, vertically and horizontally. The enlargement ratios of the horizontal, vertical, and angular measurements on the films taken at each tilted angulations were obtained and compared with those on the films taken without rotation. In summary, the enlargement ratios of the horizontal linear measurements were decreased during horizontal rotations. The enlargement ratios of vortical measurements of the right side on the film were increased and those of the left side were decreased by the horizontal rotations. Enlargement ratios of horizontal measurements were affected further than those of vertical measurements by the same angular changes of the horizontal rotations. Therefore, a disruption of parallelism between the object's midsagittal plane and the film could result in distortion of the image while vertical rotation around the object's porionic axis would not significantly affect the enlargement ratios on the headfilm.

I. 제 목 고에너지 X-선 소조사야의 선량분포 및 계측에 관한 연구 II. 연구의 목적 및 중요성 최근 수술이 어려운 뇌종양등에 대한 방사선수술법(Radiosurgery)이 관심의 대상이 되고 있다. 방사선수술법은 크게 나누어 200여개의 Co-60이 장착된 장치(Gamma Knife)를 이용하는 방법과, X-선치료기를 이용하는 방법은 몇개의 보조기구를 설치하면 가능한 매우 경제적인 방법이다. 따라서 Microtron을 이용한 방사선수술의 기초자료확보를 위하여 소조사야에 대한 선량과 선량분포의 측정 및 계산을 실시하였다. III. 연구의 내용 및 범위 Microtron으로부터 조사되는 6MV, 10MV, 21MV X-선의 지름 3cm이하 소조사야에 대한 정확한 선량 및 선량분포 자료를 확보하기 위해, 가. Microtron치료기와 보조장치등에 대한 정밀도 계측 및 평가 나. 보조 Collimator의 적당한 크기와 재료의 선택 및 설계, 제작. 다. 에너지와 조사야 크기 각각에 대한 여러측정장치(Ion chamber, Diode detector, TLD 및 Film등)를 이용한 선량 및 선량분포 측정. 라. 측정값들의 비교, 검토 및 측정된 자료에 의한 선량 및 선량분포의 계산을 수행했다. IV. 연구결과 및 활용에 대한 건의 본 연구에서 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 가. Microtron치료기와 보조장치등의 정확도의 허용 오차범위내에서 잘 일치하였다. 나. 보조 collimater adpator는 총 길이 24cm로 하였으며 재질로는 두랄미늄을 사용하였고, 보조 collimator는 low melting alloy를 사용하였으며 소조사야 크기의 정확도는 0.5mm이내에서 매우 잘 일치 하였다. 다. 방사선 수술법의 에너지 선택에 중요한 요소중의 하나인 penumbra는 6MV X-선에서 가장 적게 나타났으며 라. 소조사면에 대한 깊이-선량 백분율곡선은 모든 에너지에서 조사면이 작아질수록 표면으로 이동하는 경향을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 방사선 수술을 시행할 경우 수십억원에 이르는 장비의 도입이나 새로운 시설 없이 Microtron에서 조사되는 고에너지 X-선을 이용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 또한 새로 구입한 측정기나 보조 Collimator를 이용하여 소조사야에 대한 선량측정기술을 습득함으로써 일반적인 소조사야의 방사선치료나 회전치료등에 활용할 수 있다.

This study was aimed at how posteroanterior cephalometric measurements affect the perception of the patient about his/her facial asymmetry. One hundred orthodontic patients, over the age of 12, who required a posteroanterior cep-halogram in the Department of Orthodontics of Chonnam National University Hospital were used as the subjects. They were asked if they thought their faces were asymmetrical. Their responses were classified into 5 groups based on the level of asymmetry as follows : Definitely No, Probably No, Don't Know, Probably Yes, and Definitely Yes. Nine linear and low angular measurements from each posteroanterior cephalometric radiographs were analysed on the standard of the line between crista galli and anterior nasal spine to show the extent of asymmetry. Through this comparative study, the following results were obtained. 1. As the deviation of menton and the midline discrepancy of the upper and lower jaws were greater, the perception of patients about their facial asymmetry was higher. 2. All the measurements from the group 'Don't Know' showed no statistical difference from those of the groups 'Definitely No' or 'Probably No.' 3. All the measurements from the group 'Probably Yes' showed no statistical difference from those of the group 'Definitely yes.' .
