The purpose of this study was to analyze the educational effect of self-directed learning method using 3D printed anatomy on radiological science students. The subjects were 32 students (20 males and 12 females) in the second year of radiological science at university. They were divided two groups as a non-active student group and an active student group. A learning method was self-directed learning using 3D printed anatomical structures, and the effects of quantitative learning improvement were evaluated before and after the learning. The qualitative evaluation of the students was analyzed on the Likert's 5-point scale for the interest, satisfaction, and learning effects (memorization convenience of anatomy name, radiography Interpret ability, understanding on bones structure, and X-ray projection technique). As a result, the enhancement of learning improved 65.4% on average, and all students got scored high on all variables. Especially non-active student groups showed higher correlation coefficients in all variables except interest and radiography interpret than active student groups. These results might suggest that self-directed learning using 3D printed anatomical structures could have a positive educational effect on radiological science students.

This review was described to investigate the feasibility of using ultrasound as an image tool for interventions of lumbar spine. This article will first provide an overview of lumbosacral spine surface anatomy and sonoanatomy. A detailed understanding of anatomy is critical for interpretation of ultrasound and procedural performance at spine. Fluoroscopy is most commonly used in interventional spine procedures, but radiation exposure is the major concern when obtaining fluoroscopic images. Ultrasound is radiation-free, is easy to use, and can provide real-time images with high accuracy. Also this device can be used in virtually any clinical setting. Ultrasound guidance offers a reliable alternative to fluoroscopy or computed tomography for lumbar interventions and can be safely performed without radiation exposure.

In this study, human mimic phantoms outputted by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology are reported. Polylactic acid and a personal 3D printer - fused deposition modeling (FDM) - are used as the main material and the printing device. The output of human mimic phantoms performed in the following order: modeling, slicing and G-code conversion, output variable setting, 3D output, and post-processing. The students' learning satisfaction (anatomical awareness, study interest) was measured on 5-point Likert scale. After that, Twenty of those phantoms were outputted. The total output took 11,691 minutes (194 hours 85 minutes) and the average output took 584.55 minutes (9 hours 7 minutes). The filament used for the experiment was 2,390.2 g, and the average use of the filament was 119.51 g. The learning satisfaction of anatomical awareness was 4.6 points on the average and the interest of the class was on average 4.5 points. It is expecting that 3D printing technology can enhance the learning effect of imaging anatomy education.

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.

Shoulder MRArthrography was performed to get an accurate diagnosis about complex anatomical structure in shoulder joint. We carried out how the changes of anatomical rotations in shoulder joint could bring certain diagnosis effects on MRI images for various shoulder humerus positions; Neutral position, Internal rotation position and External rotation position. In addition, we prepared an aid tool in oder to maintain the right posture of a patient. This aid tool was made by adapting Modeling Design Program. By virtue of this aid, we obtained the following result. Shoulder MR Arthrography by the External rotation position for anatomical structure diagnosis was the most suitable in diagnostic evaluations of important anatomical structures in shoulder joint such as Biceps tendon, Supera-spiatus tendon, Sub-scapularis tendon, Labrum and Sub-acromial space.

MRI imaging is one of the imaging techniques showing anatomical structures of human body for medical diagnosis, and has been researched in order to provide better quality of anatomical information. In this study, we propose a very useful method to extract an interest areas and how to diagnose necrolysis of femoral neck disease automatically. Regions of femoral neck is set using anatomical features and Hough transform and advantages of both region extension and histogram-based region segmentation method are combined for better region segmentation. As a result of the proposed method, good imaging quality was obtained for femoral neck with both normal and severe necrosis as well as for femoral neck in early stage of necrolysis.

회전근 개 질환의 병리기전의 연구과정은 과거에 형태학, 거시적 해부학 또는 방사선학적 연구를 통해 충돌 증후군에 대한 연구에 집중되었으나 그간의 병리조직학 및 생역학의 발전에 힘입어 좀 더 근본적인 원인에 대한 접근이 가능하게 되어 다양한 요인에 의해 복합적인 기전을 통해 발생함이 밝혀지고 있다. 그러나 아직 이와 같은 성과를 바탕으로 임상적으로 적절한 진단, 치료, 재활 및 예방에 대한 명확한 해답을 제시하기에는 부족함이 있으며 향후 건 내의 퇴행성 변화에 대한 분자 생물학적인 접근과 생체 내와 같은 조건에서의 역동성을 재현할 수 있는 견관절 모델의 개발을 통한 더욱 향상된 생역학적 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Intravenous urography (IVU) for urolithiasis is a radiologic examination to diagnosis stone in the ureter path using iodine contrast media, which is radioopacity material. The method includes compression on the upper iliac crest. The compression band prevents outlet of the contrast media through the bladder and enables easier movement to upper urinary tract. This usage depends on the policy of a hospital. Therefore, this study aimed to review and compare the characteristic of progress of contrast media either in compression and non-compression. The retrospective image measurement on 60 cases of intravenous pyelography was conducted at a hospital with the identical type and amount of contrast media as well as criteria for testing. Image measurement was limited to 5 minutes clip, which is optimal for progress of contrast media depending on usage of the compression band. Also, anatomical regions were set as following: "RP" is from renal pyramid to renal pelvis, "PL" is from renal pelvis to lumbar three endplate, and "IU" and "IL" for upper and lower parts from both iliac crests. Analysis has been conducted through the statistical method based on Fisher's Exact Test to find if there are differences of distribution with the anatomical regions with compression or no compression. It has been confirmed that there is no statistical significant difference as the video measurement on 30 cases of compression and non-compression group respectively resulted in P value of 0.580 from left and 0.711 from right (both 0.960). Therefore, it has been concluded that application of a compression band on an intravenous pyelography for urolithiasis patient does not meaningfully affect the progress of contrast media.
