In order to evaluate imaging performance of newly developed digital radiography system which requires scanning time as short as 0.7 sec and patient exposure as low as 3 mR, we have investigated its imaging and physical properties such as sensitivity characteristic, scatter fraction, detective quantum efficiency, modulation transfer function, and contrast detail diagram. The results show that the digital radiography system has linear sensitivity to the incident energy, and superior contrast resolving power with less X-ray exposure than conventional film-screen system. These performances are resulted from excellent scatter rejection capability and high detective quantum efficiency of digital radiography system.

For intraoperative radiation therapy using electron beams, a cone system to deliver a large dose to the tumor during surgical operation and to save the surrounding normal tissue should be developed and dosimetry for the cone system is necessary to find proper X-ray collimator setting as well as to get useful data for clinical use. We developed a docking type of a cone system consisting of two parts made of aluminum: holder and cone. The cones which range from 4cm to 9cm with 1cm step at 100cm SSD of photon beam are 28cm long circular tubular cylinders. The system has two 26cm long holders: one for the cones larger than or equal to 7cm diamter and another for the smaller ones than 7cm. On the side of the holder is an aperture for insertion of a lamp and mirror to observe treatment field. Depth dose curve. dose profile and output factor at dept of dose maximum. and dose distribution in water for each cone size were measured with a p-type silicone detector controlled by a linear scanner for several extra opening of X-ray collimators. For a combination of electron energy and cone size, the opening of the X-ray collimator was caused to the surface dose, depths of dose maximum and 80%, dose profile and output factor. The variation of the output factor was the most remarkable. The output factors of 9MeV electron, as an example, range from 0.637 to 1.549. The opening of X-ray collimators would cause the quantity of scattered electrons coming to the IORT cone system. which in turn would change the dose distribution as well as the output factor. Dosimetry for an IORT cone system is inevitable to minimize uncertainty in the clinical use.

최근 나노선의 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 다양한 종류의 전자소자, 광소자, 그리고 센서에 응용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중 $SnO_2$ 나노선은 n-type의 전기특성과 우수한 광 특성을 보이며, 전자소자, 광소자 뿐 아니라 다양한 종류의 가스 센서 제작에 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 화학기상증착법 (Chemical Vapor Deposition)으로 $SnO_2$ 나노선을 성장하여 전계방출효과 트랜지스터 (field effect transistor: FET)를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. 나노선의 성장 조건 (온도와 산소 유량) 에 따른 나노선의 구조, 화학조성, 전기적 특성을 체계적으로 조사하였다. 산소의 유량이 낮을 때는 온도에 따라 나노선의 크기와 전기 특성에 변화가 없었으나, 산소의 유량을 높이면 온도에 따라 나노선의 두께와 전기적 특성이 크게 변화하였다. 본 연구에서는 특히, FET 구조에서 on/off current ratio 가 $10^5$ 이상으로 매우 높은 나노선 제작이 가능하였다. 전기적 특성과 나노선의 결정구조, 화학적 조성을 함께 비교하여 성장 메커니즘을 이해하고자 한다.

This study determined the photostimulated luminescence(PSL), thermoluminescence(TL), and electron spin resonance(ESR) properties of wheat and corn irradiated with 0-10 kGy of gamma-ray or electron-beam. PSL values of both irradiated grains, regardless of radiation source, were 241-429 photons/sec in nonirradiated samples(negative values, defined as ${\leq}700$ photons/60 sec) and 5,528-40,870 photons/60 sec in irradiated ones(positive values, defined as ${\geq}5,000$ photons/sec), thereby distinguishing irradiated from nonirradiated samples. The TL glow curves($TL_1$) peaked at around $300^{\circ}C$ in nonirradiated samples, but at about $180^{\circ}C$ in irradiated samples, at high intensities, regardless of radiation source. The TL ratios($TL_1/TL_2$) calculated to strengthen $TL_1$ data reliability were less than 0.03 for nonirradiated samples and over 0.20 for irradiated materials, in good agreement with threshold values for nonirradiated(${\leq}0.1$) and irradiated(${\geq}0.1$) samples. ESR analysis was not applicable in identification of irradiated wheat and corn. Electron-beam irradiation resulted in higher PSL and TL signals than did gamma-rays, at the same applied doses.

After x-ray 5Gy radiation on the whole body of a mouse using a linear accelerator, its leucocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet were observed by SEM. Also, after injecting propolis into the abdominal cavity, the radio-protective effect of blood corpuscles was studied. The observation of micromorphology in blood corpuscles revealed that the number of leukocyte, erythrocyte, and thrombocyte decreased in the experimental group and the lump got together in blood corpuscles after 10 and 20 days. In RBC, crack or break on the surface and poikilosperocytes were observed. In the irradiation group, the size of leucocytes was smaller than that in control group and the number of villus at the verge substantially decreased. The blood corpuscles in the propolis group, however, had the similar results to control group.

Electron beam (EB), electrically produced from an electron accelerator, was compared with gamma ray (GR) in terms of its influence at doses from 0 to 15 kGy on the lipid stability of white and red ginseng powders. Irradiation (EB or GR) less than 10 kGy showed negligible effects on the composition of fatty acids in white and red ginseng powders. The thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value, however, increased with irradiation doses and storage time in both samples, which was more significant in red ginseng than white ginseng. Red ginseng revealed higher electron donating ability than white ginseng, even though there was insignificant difference between non-irradiated and irradiated samples irrespective of the post-irradiation storage for 4 months under room temperature as well as energy sources applied.

Beef, pork and chicken meat that retailed in market were used as experimental samples. Some samples in raw state were packaged with PVDC as aerobic and vacuum condition. The other samples were cooked until internal temperature arrived at $70^{\circ}C$ using electric oven and then packaged immediately in the same way of raw samples. After these samples were irradiated by electron beam (0, 1, 2 kGy), irradiated samples were stored in refrigerator $(2{\sim}4^{\circ}C)$. Identification and quantification of cholesterol oxides were analysed at 0, 7, 14 days. The results were following. The results indicated that raw-vacuum packaged lower detected than that of other treatments. In raw-vacuum packaged, the amounts of $7{\beta}-hydroxycholesterol$ were detected slightly $(below\;0.5\;{\mu}ug/g)$ during storage, and 7-ketocholesterol were detected during every stored time and amounts of this detection were $8.02{\sim}101.30\;{\mu}g/g$. In cooked-aerobic packaged, total amounts of detection were higher than that of other treatments, total amounts of cholesterol oxides were detected about $51.18{\sim}155.90\;{\mu}g/g$ during storage. In all results, pork and chicken samples were similar to the results of beef samples. In all results, total amounts of cholesterol oxides increased significantly as irradiation dose and storage time increased (P<0.05).

The changes in the volatile organic compounds in plum after its electron beam irradiation and storage were determined using the simultaneous distillation extraction method and gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. There were 44, 46, 45, 47, and 38 volatile compounds in the 0-, 0.25-, 0.5-, 0.75-, and 1 kGy irradiated samples, respectively. Also, the volatile flavor components of the plum that was stored for 30 days were identified as 48, 40, 40, 39, and 40 components. The compositions of the volatile compounds of the control and irradiated samples showed a similarity after the storage. Especially, the more important volatile flavor of the plum was identified as hexanal of the C6compounds, (E)-2-hexenal and (Z)-3-hexenal. In particular, hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, and (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol increased in all the doses, where as hexanol and (E)-2-hexen-1-ol decreased. Among the lactone compounds, ${\gamma}$-hexalactone, ${\gamma}$-octalactone, and ${\gamma}$-decalactone were identified during the storage period in the raw samples. Hexanonic acid and 2-hexenoic acid were not identified during the storage of the samples, and 2-methylprrole was detected only when the storage samples were irradiated at a dose higher than 0.5kGy. Therefore, it was shown that there was no effect on the variation of the volatile organic component suntil 1 kGy in the plum was irradiated with an electron beam.
