  • In this paper, we acquired EBT section images of lung parenchyma using fabricated spirometric gating device and proposed new energy function based on dynamic contour model in order to extracted the contour of the lung parenchyma in EBT images. In EBT images, gray level of the lungs is lower than other region. we extracted the lungs contour using the new energy function considering gray level and contour vector of the lung parenchyma region from EBT images. As we compared the proposed method with the conventional method, we confirmed that detection method using proposed energy function was valid.

  • 본 논문에서는 호흡 연동 장치와 EBT로부터 획득한 폐실질 영상에 대하여 동적 윤곽선 모델 방법과 영역 성장법을 이용하여 폐실질 영역을 검출하였다. 그런 다음 , 검출된 폐실질 영역내에서의 각종 정량적 요소들을 도출하여 농도 분포 곡선에대한 분석을 하였다. 동적 윤곽선 모델방법에서 페실질 영역의 낮은 휘도 준위와 폐의 윤곽선 벡터 방향을 고려한 에너지 함수를 제안하였다. 그리고 폐실질 영역 성장법에서는 폐실질 영역내의 분포한 공기 성분에 대한 화소를 확장시켜 효과적으로 폐실질 영역을 검출하였다. 추출된 폐실질 영역내의 빈도 분포 곡선을 분석하여 정상군과 비교한 결과 만성 폐쇄성 폐질환자에서는 정상인에 비하여 평균 농도,최대 빈도 농도, 최대 상승 기울기 농도가 낮았으며, 농도 분포곡선은 더 낮은 쪽으로 이동하였음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 특발성 폐섬유증 환자에서는 평균 농도, 최대 빈도 농도, 최대 상승 기울기 농도가 모두 증가되었고 농도 분포 곡선은 더 높은쪽으로 이동하였다. 폐실질 영역을 추출하여 히스토그램 분포에 대한 정량적 분석을 함으로써 정상인으로부터 만성 폐쇄성 질환자의 폐섬유증 환자를 구분할 수 있었다.

  • 최근 전신마취의 발달로 외과영역에서는 괄목할만한 수술적 진전을 보여 왔으나, 이에 못지 않게 전신마취에 의한 여러 가지 합병증의 보고가 늘고 있다. 특히 이비인후과영역에서는 술후 뚜렷한 원인없이 사성 및 호흡곤란 등을 호소하는 환자들을 종종 접하게 되며, 추정할 수 있는 유인으로는 대개 후두 및 기관점막의 염증, 후두결절, 후두육아종 등이 대부분이나 때로 매우 희귀하지만 원인 불명의 성대마비로 인한 경우도 있다. 저자는 최근 술전에 전혀 후두증상이 없었던 환자로서 기관내 삽관마취하 이하선 혼합종수술후에 속발한 일측성 반회신경마비례를 경험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

We confirmed that new method detects boundary of inner airway effectively through computer simulation that apply image data about each slice position of airway. And, we could see change for cross section area of inner airway by time change. Therefore, we think that proposed method can utilize on quantitative analysis in clinical field.

  • Generally, to evaluate gated radiation therapy, moving phantoms are used to simulate organ motion. Since the target moves in every direction, we need to take into account motion in each direction. This study proposes methods to evaluate gated radiation therapy using gamma index analysis and to visualize adequate gating window sizes according to motion ranges. The moving phantom was fabricated to simulate motion in the craniocaudal direction. This phantom consisted of a moving platform, the I'm MatriXX, and solid water phantoms. A 6 MV photon filed with a field size of $4{\times}4cm^2$ was delivered to the phantom using the gating system, while the phantom moved in the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-cm motion ranges. The gating windows were set at 40~60%, 30~40%, and 0~90%, respectively. The I'm MatriXX acquired the dose distributions for each scenario and the dose distributions were compared with a $4{\times}4cm^2$ static filed. The tolerance of the gamma index was set at 3%/3 mm. The greater the gating window, the lower the pass rate, and the greater the motion range, the lower the pass rate in this study. In case treatment without gated radiation therapy for the target with motion of 2 cm, the pass rate was less than 96%. But it was greater than 99% when gated radiation therapy was used. However gated radiation therapy was used for the target with motion greater than 4 cm, the pass rate could not be greater than 97% when gating window was set as 30~70%. But when the gating window set as 40~60%, the pass rate was greater than 99%.

  • We performed the numerical analysis on the characteristics of indoor air quality and local supply index with a variation of supply · exhaust airflow rate. We analyzed the local supply index and carbon dioxide concentration at the room and breathing zone with respect to the variation of the supply · exhaust airflow rate. From the numerical results, we found that local supply index was affected but carbon dioxide concentration was hardly affected by the variation of the airflow rate in the room. And we also knew that carbon dioxide concentration was raised in despite of the increment of the supply airflow rate in the breathing zone. After this study it is necessary to analyze the local exhaust index when we evaluate the state of the ventilation in the room.

  • Foreign bodies of the esophagus are frequently seen in otolaryngological fields and there are numerous reports about the cases of esophageal foreign bodies in the literatures. It is well known and agreed to most of the authors that the most common subjects of foreign bodies in the esophagus are coins in young children. The authors recently experienced a rare case of foreign body in the first narrowing of the esophagus in a l-year-old female who visited with the complaints of fever, dysphagia and imspiratory dyspnea for 5 days, complicating subcutaneous emphysema, periesophageal abscess, mediastinal emphysema, mediastinitis and lung atelectasis causing death.

  • The purpose of this paper is to study on the elements of the Sinmyung and the expression recognition of body movement in Korean dance of college students majoring in musical. The participants were 12 male and female college students in musical major who experienced in dance, song and acting. The program was composed of the experience of the Sinmyung: recognition of sound and dance, breathing and movement in the Korean dance, 8 hours twice a week for four weeks. As a qualitative approach is the discovery of the center of the process, we carried out an inductive analysis of the area on the basis of observation, in-depth interview and student report. The core of this analysis is to attempt to analyze contents concentrating on the recognition exploration of the Sinmyung sentiment and the body expression through sound and breathing. In conclusion, for college students majoring in musical, the expression recognition of the experience of the Sinmyung and the movement in the Korean dance contributes to the improvement of creative thinking through body perception, and the practical use of the capacity of image expression through concentration of sound and breathing. Finally, the results of this research could articulate with the value of body expression and the creative factors of college students majoring in musical.

  • Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder which is characterized by a recurrence of entire or partial collapse of the pharyngeal airway during sleep. A given tidal volume must traverse the soft tissue tube structure of the upper airway, so the tendency for airway obstruction is influenced by the geometries of the duct and characteristics of the airflow in respect to fluid dynamics. Methods: Individualized 3D FEA models were reconstructed from pretreatment computerized tomogram images of three patients with obstructive sleep apnea. 3D computational fluid dynamics analysis was used to observe the effect of airway geometry on the flow velocity, negative pressure and pressure drop in the upper airway at an inspiration flow rate of 170, 200, and 230 ml/s per nostril. Results: In all 3 models, large airflow velocity and negative pressure were observed around the section of minimum area (SMA), the region which narrows around the velopharynx and oropharynx. The bigger the Out-A (outlet area)/ SMA-A (SMA area) ratio, the greater was the change in airflow velocity and negative pressure. Conclusions: Pressure drop meaning the difference between highest pressure at nostril and lowest pressure at SMA, is a good indicator for upper airway resistance which increased more as the airflow volume was increased.

  • The purpose of this study was to measure the dose distribution from the moving phantom for the respiratory motion. The phantom for TLD measurement was designed and built for this study based on the multiple plates for placing TLD and film. The TLDs may be inserted at 3 mm intervals in each TLD plate. For the measurements, TLD plate was inserted into the phantom at 1.5 cm ($d_{max}$) depth, and phantom was allowed to move in SI directions in the range of 1 to 2 cm with 0.5 cm interval for 6 MV X-ray beams. Penumbra and FWHM were measured at both moving state and compared stationary. It was found that penumbra increased 0.71 cm at stationary and 2.10 cm at moving state in 2 cm movement, and that FWHM are 7.52 cm for stationary state and 7.02 cm for moving state (2 cm movement). In this study, film was used to compared with TLD results of measurements and simitar results were observed. Therefore, it is expected that TLD moving phantom may be useful for the treatment of tumors that move due to the respiratory motion.
