The purpose is to determine the degree of contamination of the equipment for infection control in chest radiography of the radiology department. We confirmed by chemical and bacterial identification of bacteria of the equipment and established a preventive maintenance plan. Chest X-ray radiography contact area on the instrument patients shoulder, hand, chin, chest lateral radiography patient contact areas with a 70% isopropyl alcohol cotton swab were compared to identify the bacteria before and after sterilization on the patient contact area in the chest radiography equipment of the department. The gram positive Staphylococcus was isolated from side shoots handle before disinfection in the chest radiography equipment. For the final identification of antibiotic tested that it was determined by performing the nobobiocin to the sensitive Staphylococcus epidermidis. Chest radiography equipment before disinfecting the handle side of Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria were detected using a disinfectant should be to prevent hospital infections.

In this study, among chest CT examination conditions, the tube voltage was changed to 100 and 80 kVp and the reconstruction algorithm was changed to FBP, ASIR-V, and DLIR to compare and analyze changes in examination dose and image quality. As a result, when applying ASIR-V and DLIR at a tube voltage of 100 kVp, which is lower than the existing tube voltage, the dose is lowered while achieving image quality most similar to that when applying 120 kVp and FBP. especially, DLIR reconstructed images had excellent SNR and CNR at all tube voltages. In addition, the SSIM index was analyzed to be closest to 1, showing the highest similarity to the original image. Therefore, when performing repeated chest CT examinations, the application of DLIR can reduce the examination dose by about 29.7%, which is expected to help solve some of the biggest problems with CT examinations, namely radiation exposure due to the examination.

Chest examinations and mass chest examinations using the CR(computed radiography) System are frequently used clinically. a factor that degrades image quality in the acquisition process is the use of unused IPs long times. this paper addresses the estimation of winer filter and improved wiener filter to restoration of Chest CR images Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce noise. in low noise variation image wiener method was excellent than improved method and the result was the opposite at high noise varience. the application of algorithms to chest CR images effectively eliminates noise. the classic Wiener filter was better than the improved method. Multiple patients examined during the process without any erase IP(image plate) process, The proposed algorithm determines that the images can be restored to a good quality and will help to read the images.

The purpose of this study was to analyze fabrics suitable for use as examination gowns to determine whether examination gowns affect imaging during anterior to posterior chest examinations(Chest AP) on a digital X-ray system. Examination gowns in use at five medical centers in Seoul were collected and included modal, tencel, cotton, and rayon fabrics. The selection of fabrics was based on studies that reported fabrics with good tactile, absorbent, stretchable, and wrinkle resistance. Phantoms of five hospital gowns and four fabrics, arranged in overlapping layers from one to eight, were created and examined on a digital X-ray system in both Chest AP examination. The images examined were subjected to a first-step profile analysis, a second-step signal intensity averaging analysis, and a third-step microscopic analysis. The results showed that all nine materials had an increasing impact on the image as the number of layers of fabric increased, with the modal fabric having the least impact on the image in the first, second, and third analyses. In conclusion, as the resolution of digital x-ray systems increases, the impact of examination clothing on the image will increase, and research to find suitable materials for examination clothing will continue to be necessary.

The purpose of this study is to examine how much the movement at X-ray examinations like breathing or the positioning affects the image during chest or abdomen X-ray examination so as to create an image containing information as much as possible. The study method adopted is doing the X-ray in each of the states including breathing (inspiration & expiration) and movement in the standing chest PA X-ray and simple abdomen X-ray among the kinds of examination selected the most in hospitals and then evaluating them by applying the standards of image evaluation for each region. According to the study result, about the standing chest PA X-ray, the images taken at inspiration contain more information than those taken at expiration or having subtle movement during the examination. About the simple abdomen X-ray, the images taken at expiration contain more information than those taken at inspiration or movement. The above study results imply that regarding general X-ray examination, information we can find from the images may differ significantly according to the region examined, examination purpose, or movement during the examination like breathing.

2달령의 수컷 로트와 일러가 4일간 설사와 통증.보행 실조 등의 증상을 보여 (주)해 마루 소동물 임상 의자 연구소에 의뢰되었다 흉부 방사선 검사에서 폐야 전반에 걸친 페포성 침윤과 흉벽의 심란 비후가 관찰되어 흉막폐렴으로 진단하였으며 복강 초음파 검사에서 상 복부에서 소량의 복수가 관찰되었고 전반적인 간 echogenicity가 증가되어 있었다. 치료 후 설사 증상은 사라지고 전신 상태가 다소 호전되어 내원 후 7일째에 흉부 방사선 검사를 재 실시하였다. 흉막과 폐의 병변은 변화가 없었으나 상완골과 요골의 골간단 부분에 이상 소견 이 발견되어 골격계 방사선 검사를 실시한 결과 상완골, 요골, 대퇴골 그리고 경골의 골간단에 경화성 변화와 무정형의 골막 반응이 관찰되었고 요골, 척골과 경골의 골간단 부분에 성 장판 외의 방사선 투과성 선이 관찰되었다. 이상의 특이적인 방사선 소견을 바탕으로 비록 본 질환의 정확한 원인은 밝힐 수 없었으나, 감염성 원인에 의한 비대성 골이형성증으로 진단하였다.
