  • X-ray equipment, which is frequently used in radiology and treatment, is the most common and most used equipment in clinical practice. Equipment must provide accurate information to patients through continuous quality control. In case of manual quality control measurement, reproducibility may be poor and there may be a problem with reliability of evaluation results. In this study, an automated program was developed and attempted to measure how much the central ray between the focus of the X-ray tube and the variable aperture of the diagnostic X-ray generator used in clinical practice coincides. As a result of the experiment, it succeeded in calculating the coordinates of the two center points, and the distance between the two points was calculated in pixels and applied to the judgment and the automatic judgment value for whether the center line coincidence is within the normal angle or the abnormal angle is presented. The results of this study are considered to be very helpful in the quality control of the X-ray apparatus.

  • 본고에서는 고속선의 항행 안전성과 관련된 공통의 문제로서 파랑중 조종성능에 관해서 언급하 고자 한다. 파랑중 조종성능이 문제시되는 것은 선박이 추파(following seas) 또는 추사 파(quartering seas)를 받으면서 고속으로 항해할 때이다. 보통의 속도 범위에서 운항되는 일반 선박중에서도 컨테이너선, 어선 등과 같이 비교적 속력이 빠른 선박은 추사파중에서 선수 동 요가 크게 일어나며, 보침을 위한 조타량이 커짐과 동시에 힁동요가 심하게 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 불안정 현상은 정도의 차이는 있을지언정 고속선에서도 마찬가지 경향을 보이고 있다. 파랑중 조종성능을 요약하면 추파 또는 추사파중에서의 복원성과 보침성 문제에 귀착된다, 추사파중에서의 복원성 문제는 선체 중심이 파정에 위치할 때 복원력 저하로써 설명될 수 있으며, 이러한 현상은 파장과 선체 길이가 거의 같고 선속이 파속과 거의 같은 조건하에서 일어난다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 조건을 만족하는 선속은 Froude수 0.4 정도로서 고속선의 운항 범위에 미달되는 속도이다. 추사파중에서의 보침성 문제는 브로칭(broaching-to) 현상으로써 설명될 수 있으며, 브로칭 현상은 파장이 선체 길이의 2배 정도이고, 선속과 파속이 거의 같은 조건하에서 일어난다고 알려져 있다. 이러한 조건을 만족하는 선속은 Froude수 0.56 정도로서 고속선의 운항 범위와 일치하는 속도이다. 따라서 본고에서는 고속선을 대상으로 하기 때문에 복원성 문제는 다루지 아니하고 브로칭 현상에 관해서만 간략히 기술하기로 한다.

  • With the expanded use of radiation in modern medical practices, the most important issue in regards to efforts to reduce individual exposure dose is quality assurance. Therefore in order to study the present condition of quality assurance, the Gwangju Metropolitan City area was divided into five districts each containing ten hospitals. Four experiments were conducted: a reproducibility experiment for kVp, mA, and examination time (sec) intensity of illumination; half-value layer (HVL) measurement; and beam perpendicularity test matching experiment. The tube voltage reproducibility experiment for all fifty hospitals resulted in a 95.33% passing rate and mA and examination time both resulted in a 77.0% passing rate. The passing rate for intensity of illumination was 86.0% and 52.0% for HVL, which was the lowest passing rate of all four factors. For the beam perpendicularity test matching experiment, generally the central flux is matched to within $1.5^{\circ}$. Of all fifty hospitals 30.0% were beyond $3^{\circ}$. The results of the survey showed that 58% responded that they knew about quality assurance cycle. All fifty respondents stated that they have not received any training in regards to quality assurance at their current place of employment. Although quality assurance is making relative progress, the most urgent issue is awareness of the importance of quality assurance. Therefore, the implementation of professional training focusing on safety management and accurate quality assurance of radiation will reduce the exposure to radiation for radiologists and patients and higher quality imaging using less dosage will also be possible.

  • The time charterer depends on speed and bunker consumption rate of time chartered vessel because it is related charterers' benefit. It is important role of stipulated speed and daily bunker consumption rate at the Time Charter Party, it is generated any dispute against speed and daily bunker consumption rate deficiency. The case of dispute is a restricted word of stipulated speed and daily bunker consumption rate at Charter Party as "about", "good weather or good weather day", "smooth water", "ocean current" and "without guarantee". It happens a dispute against speed and daily bunker consumption rate because it is not well-educated as a vessel operator regarding Time Charter Party interpretation.

  • The characteristics of 23 MV photon beam have been presented with respect to clinical parameters of central axis depth dose, tissue-maxi mum ratios, scatter-maximum ratios, surface dose and scatter correction factors. The nominal accelerating potential was found to be $18.5\pm0.5$ MV on the central axis. The half-value layer (HVL) of this photon beam was measured with narrow beam geometry from central axis, and it has been showed the thickness of $24.5\;g/cm^2$. The tissue-maximum ratio values have been determined from measured percentage depth dose data. In our experimental dosimetry, the surface dose of maximum showed only $9.6\%$ of maximum dose at $10\times10\;cm^2$, 100 cm SSD, without blocking tray in. The TMR'S of $0\times0$ field size have been determined to get average $2.3\%$ uncertainties from three different methodis; are zero effective attenuation coefficient, non-ilnear least square fit of TMR's data and effective linear attenuation coefficient from the HVL of 23 MV photon beams of dual energy linear accelerator.

  • In this paper, for better boarding performance and pleasant boarding sensitivity of the ship, comparison and analysis was performed of motion sickness questionnaire with MSI(Motion Sickness Incidence) calculation based on ship motion theory(Strip Method) due to sea condition, incident angle in main sail way, economic speed, and calculation position of the training ship Kaya of Pukyong National University. On theses works, the rougher sea conditions became, the higher total motion sickness rate was occurred. The weights of vertical acceleration and the rates of MSI were higher at the bridge and the accommodation, which were located farther from the center of gravity of the ship. And effects of the vertical acceleration of the ship were increased in rolling then in head sea. In comparison between motion sickness questionnaire with MSI calculation, when the vertical acceleration increased, the motion sickness rate increased. The location to increase vertical acceleration and the location to cause motion sickness were agreed.

  • 목적 : 방사선치료기술이 날로 발전함에 따라 방사선치료계획시스템에 대한 주기적인 정도관리의 필요성은 증대하고 있으나, 국내 실정에 적합한 표준화된 정도관리절차서가 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 방사선치료계획용 시스템에 대한 정도관리용 고체팬톰을 제작하여 주기적인 정도관리 활용 및 절차서를 제시하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 체윤곽 보정을 위한 삼각기둥 모형 (30cm$\times$30cm$\times$5cm, 30cm$\times$15cm$\times$5$\times$) 및 정형ㆍ부정형, 불균질 측정이 가능한 물등가고체팬톰을 제작하였고, 컴퓨터단층촬영(AcQsim)을 통해 영상을 얻었으며, RTPS(AcQplan)에 입력하여 영상 내 기준점에서의 선량값을 계산하였다. RTPS를 통해 계산된 값의 평가를 위해 동일한 조건하에서 각 기준점에 대한 실제 측정을 이온함을 이용하여 측정하였다. 평가 항목으로는 정방형 조사면, 부정형 조사면, 쐐기 조사면, 불균질 물질 보정, 사방향 조사 등에 대해서 알고리즘별로 수행하였다. 결과 : RTPS를 이용하여 계산된 값과 실제 측정한 값을 비교하여 RTPS의 정확성을 평가한 결과로 합성의 불확도 허용 기준 (3%), 선속 중심축 상에서의 허용 기준 (2%) 등, 선진 각국 및 각 학회에서 권고하고 있는 허용 범위 내에서 잘 일치하였다. 결론 : RTPS는 측정된 심부선량과 선량분포 등 물리적인 인자에 의존하는 제한성이 있고, 실제로 선량계산 알고리즘과 기하학적 변화에 따라 계산값과 측정값 간에 차이가 발생할 수 있었다. 실제 인체의 체윤곽 불균일성과 불균질성을 모사한 팬톰을 제작하여 이용함으로써 다양한 RTPS간의 비교를 통한 치료 선량의 정확성을 평가하고, 방사선 치료의 원활하고 정확한 수행을 위해 실용적이고, 보편적인 치료계획 시스템의 정도관리 방법과 절차서를 수립하는데에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Recent radiotherapy dose planning system (RTPS) generally adapted the kernel beam using the convolution method for computation of tissue dose. To get a depth and profile dose in a given depth concerened a given photon beam, the energy spectrum was reconstructed from the attenuation dose of transmission of filter through iterative numerical analysis. The experiments were performed with 15 MV X rays (Oncor, Siemens) and ionization chamber (0.125 cc, PTW) for measurements of filter transmitted dose. The energy spectrum of 15MV X-rays was determined from attenuated dose of lead filter transmission from 0.51 cm to 8.04 cm with energy interval 0.25 MeV. In the results, the peak flux revealed at 3.75 MeV and mean energy of 15 MV X rays was 4.639 MeV in this experiments. The results of transmitted dose of lead filter showed within 0.6% in average but maximum 2.5% discrepancy in a 5 cm thickness of lead filter. Since the tissue dose is highly depend on the its energy, the lateral dose are delivered from the lateral spread of energy fluence through flattening filter shape as tangent 0.075 and 0.125 which showed 4.211 MeV and 3.906 MeV. In this experiments, analyzed the energy spectrum has applied to obtain the percent depth dose of RTPS (XiO, Version 4.3.1, CMS). The generated percent depth dose from $6{\times}6cm^2$ of field to $30{\times}30cm^2$ showed very close to that of experimental measurement within 1 % discrepancy in average. The computed dose profile were within 1% discrepancy to measurement in field size $10{\times}10cm$, however, the large field sizes were obtained within 2% uncertainty. The resulting algorithm produced x-ray spectrum that match both quality and quantity with small discrepancy in this experiments.
