The position of the internal organs can change continually and periodically inside the body due to the respiration. To reduce the respiration induced uncertainty of dose localization, one can use a respiratory gated radiotherapy where a radiation beam is exposed during the specific time of period. The main disadvantage of this method is that it usually requests a long treatment time, the massive effort during the treatment and the limitation of the patient selection. In this sense, the combination of the real-time position management (RPM) system and the volumetric intensity modulated radiotherapy (RapidArc) is promising since it provides a short treatment time compared with the conventional respiratory gated treatments. In this study, we evaluated the accuracy of the respiratory gated RapidArc treatment. Total sic patient cases were used for this study and each case was planned by RapidArc technique using varian ECLIPSE v8.6 planning machine. For the Quality Assurance (QA), a MatriXX detector and I'mRT software were used. The results show that more than 97% of area gives the gamma value less than one with 3% dose and 3 mm distance to agreement condition, which indicates the measured dose is well matched with the treatment plan's dose distribution for the gated RapidArc treatment cases.

As size of waveform is very small, ECG(electrocardiogram) signal is difficult to analyze for noise which is occurred when it measures. In order to obtain ECG clearly, it must eliminate that power line interference, baseline wandering, noise of muscle constriction. In ECG, the worst problem which is recorded signal of ECG is the baseline wandering elimination, which is occurred by rhythm of respiration and muscle constriction of part from attaching to an electrode. Such the baseline is roughly irregular wandering and shaking up and down therefore the part of the baseline wandering elimination is very important because it is difficulty of ECG diagnosis. In this study, as implementation of real-time signal processing digital filter it is applicable to analyze patient's heart disease by way of design of the baseline wandering elimination system.

The objective of this study is to investigate the difference of ITV lengths and ITVs between 4DCT and Slow-CT images according to respiratory patterns using a respiratory motion phantom. The respiratory periods 1~4 s and target motion 1~3 cm were applied on each respiratory pattern. 4DCT and Slow-CT images were acquired for 3 times. 4DCT and Slow-CT ITVs were measured with contouring the target in the Eclipse RTP system. The measured ITV lenghts and ITVs in 4DCT and Slow-CT images were compared to the known values. For the ITV lengths and ITVs in the 4DCT, the difference of them were reduced as the respiratory period is longer and target motion is shorter. For the Slow-CT, there was same tendency with change in 4DCT ITV lengths and ITVs about target motion. However, the difference of ITV lengths and ITVs for the respiratory periods were the lowest in respiratory period 1 second and different slightly within respiratory period 2-4 seconds. According to the respiratory patterns, pattern A had the highest reproducibility. Pattern B, C and D were showed the difference similar to each other. However, for pattern E, the reproducibility was the lowest compared with other four patterns. The difference of ITV lengths and ITVs between Slow-CT and 4DCT was increased by increasing the respiratory periods and target motion for all respiratory patterns. When the difference of Slow-CT ITV lengths and ITVs were compared with that of 4DCT ITV lengths and ITVs, Slow-CT ITV lengths and ITVs were approximately 22 % smaller than 4DCT, and the representations of target were different in each pattern. In case of pattern A, B and C, length difference was 3 mm at S (superior) and I (inferior) direction, and the length difference of pattern D was 1.45 cm at only "I" direction whereas the length difference of pattern E was 5 mm longer in "S" direction than "I" direction. Therefore, the margin in SI directions should be determined by considering the respiratory patterns when the margin of Slow-CT is compensated for 4DCT ITV lengths. Afterward, we think that the result of this study will be useful to analyze the ITV lengths and ITVs from the CT images on the basis of the patient respiratory signals.

본 연구에서는 긴장 스트레스를 평가하기 위하여 작업 중에 긴장 조건을 부가하고 행동량, 주관량, 생리량을 계측하여 통계적으로 긴장 상태 유무와 작업 난이도에 따른 변화를 분석하였다. 긴장 스트레스를 유발시키기 위하여 20대 남자 대학생 3D명에게 세 가지 레벨의 트랙킹 작업을 수행하게 하면서 긴장상태를 유발하여 행동량, 주관신고와 생리신호를 측정하였다. 행동량과 주관신고의 결과를 사용하여 본 연구에서 상정된 작업난이도와 긴장조건이 적절한 가를 살펴보고 생리신호를 사용하여 작업난이도와 긴장감을 분석하였다. 난이도가 낮을 때 HRV의 회귀도와 GSR의 평균값은 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났으며 난이도가 높을 때에는 피부온도의 값이 긴장 조건이 있을 때가 없을 때에 비해서 통계적으로 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 또한 긴장 조건이 있는 경우 작업의 난이도가 높을 때에 낮을 때에 비해서 호흡수의 값이 높게 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 상정한 긴장감은 양호하게 부가되었고 긴장감은 생리신호를 사용하여 측정할 수 있을 것으로 분석되었다.

Materials and Methods : The analysis of the distribution of radiation dose equivalent quality solid water phantom and GafChromic film was used Film QA film analysis program using the Gamma factor (3%, 3 mm). Three-dimensional dose distribution in order to check the accuracy of Matrixx dosimetry equipment and Compass was used for dose analysis program. Periodic breathing synchronized with solid phantom signals Phantom 4D Phantom and Varian RPM was created by breathing synchronized system, free breathing and breath holding at each of the dose distribution was analyzed. In order to apply to four patients from February 2013 to August 2013 with liver cancer targets enough to get a picture of 4DCT respiratory cycle and then patients are pratice to meet patient's breathing cycle phase mode using the patient eye goggles to see the pattern of the respiratory cycle to be able to follow exactly in a while 4DCT images were acquired. Gated RapidArc treatment Amplitude mode in order to create the breathing cycle breathing performed three times, and then at intervals of 40% to 60% 5-6 seconds and breathing exercises that can not stand (Fig. 5), 40% While they are treated 60% in the interval Beam On hold your breath when you press the button in a way that was treated with semi-automatic. Results : Non-respiratory and respiratory rotational intensity modulated radiation therapy technique absolute calculation dose of using computerized treatment plan were shown a difference of less than 1%, the difference between treatment technique was also less than 1%. Gamma (3%, 3 mm) and showed 99% agreement, each organ-specific dose difference were generally greater than 95% agreement. The rotational intensity modulated radiation therapy, respiratory synchronized to the respiratory cycle created Amplitude mode and the actual patient's breathing cycle could be seen that a good agreement.

The most basic thing to measure the condition of a companion animal is to check the breathing and pulse. There are several methods to measure the breathing and pulse of a companion animal, and the PPG method is generally used to measure the oxygen saturation (SpO₂) in a companion animal. However, since the input PPG signal is inputted with various information as well as oxygen saturation, it is necessary to separate and extract oxygen saturation information from the PPG signal in order to measure the oxygen saturation. Therefore, in this paper, a wearable measuring device for companion animals that can be measured by applying the PPG method was designed and implemented, and an algorithm for separating oxygen saturation information from the PPG signal input through the wearable measuring device was proposed.

집중도 변화와 정신피로는 정의 방향의 평가와 부의 방향의 평가가 있으며, 작업 수행시의 집중변화와 정신피로의 평가는 정의 방향보다 부의 방향으로의 평가가 용이하다. 따라서, 저자들은 먼저 피험자에게 부가할 정신작업부하로 난이도 조정이 용이한 연산작업을 사용하여 작업수행시 가장 높은 집중을 요구하는 하나의 난이도를 선정하고 피험자에게 반복 수행시키면서 생리량과 심리량을 동시에 측정하였다. 측정된 생리량은 뇌파, 심전도, 호흡, 맥파, 말초피부온이며 심리량은 저자들이 개발한 정신피로설문지를 사용하였다. 분석결과 작업수행시 심박변화율의 전력스펙트럼 MF/(LF+HF)비가 감소하였으며, 작업이 반복됨에 따라 집중이 저하되고 정신피로가 증가하였다. 특히, 뇌파의 beta파와 호흡간격이 집중도의 변화를 말초피부온이 정신피로를 잘 반영하였다.

스트레스는 스트레스 요인에 반응하는 신체와 정신의 변화과정으로, 외부의 자극을 받으면 혈압, 심박동수, 호흡수가 증가하게 된다. 이러한 생체신호로 인간의 스트레스 요인을 측정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 선박조종시뮬레이션을 이용해 예비(견습)도선사가 도선접안 중 체감하는 스트레스의 정도와 특성을 생체신호 변화를 활용하여 실증적으로 분석하였다. 선박조종시뮬레이션에서 추출한 엔진 사용량, 타각 사용량, 속력 및 예선 사용량과 스트레스 분석을 위해 Heart BPM, SDNN, RMSSD의 3가지 심박변이도 파리미터의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 6회 중 4회의 시뮬레이션에서 Heart BPM은 지속적으로 상승하고 SDNN은 하강하여 시간에 따라 스트레스가 상승하는 것으로 분석되었다. 특히 예선 사용시점에서 변화의 폭이 큰 것을 확인하였다. RMSSD는 단기주기(1분간격) 측정 파라메터로 실험자가 느끼는 순간의 위험에 따라 그래프 변화폭이 심한 것으로 분석되었다. 전체적으로 엔진, 타각, 예선의 사용시점에 따라 큰 변화를 보였으며, 실험자들의 선박운용 행위에 따라 생체신호 변화를 보였다고 사료된다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 도선사에게 스트레스를 미치는 요소를 판별하여 도선접안 중 스트레스가 높아지는 순간에 인적사고를 예방할 수 있는 시스템적 보완을 마련하고자 한다.
