  • Objective : To prospectively assess the diagnostic and clinical value of a new technique (3-tesla magnetic resonance myelography, 3T MRM) as compared to computed tomographic discography (disco-CT) in patients with far lateral disc herniation. Methods : We evaluated 3T MRM and disco-CT of 25 patients, whom we suspected of suffering from far lateral disc herniation. Using an assessment scale, 4 observers examined independently both 3T MRM and disco-CT images. We analyzed observer agreement and the accentuation of each image. Results : We found complete matching, and observer agreement, between high resolution images of 3T MRM and disco-CT for diagnosing far lateral disc herniation. Conclusion : We think noninvasive 3T MRM is an appropriate diagnostic tool for far lateral disc herniation as compared to disco-CT.

  • 한국의 제네시스G80, 티볼리2017등이 부분적 자율주행차 시연을 진행 중이며 상용화에도 박차를 가하고 있다. 세계에서는 테슬라 'X'가 완전자율주행차를 구현하면서 테스트 과정을 완료하였다. 자율주행차가 점차적으로 상용화가 되면서 운전 취약자에 대한 해결책이 제시되고 편의성도 증가하면서 교통사고 비율도 감소할 것으로 예측된다. 반면에 자율주행차 사고 시, 윤리적 책임 문제 등 준비되어야 할 관련 법률은 매우 부족한 실정이며 자율주행차의 보안문제와 개인사생활의 침해도 매우 우려되는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 현재 자율주행차에 대한 국내외 관련연구와 분석현황을 제시하고, 문제점에 대한 해결책과 활성화 모델을 제안한다.

  • 초크랄스키 법에 의한 실리콘 단결정 성장시 액상내의 난류 특성 억제 및 산소, 첨가제 등의 제어를 위해 보통 자기장을 걸어주고 있으며 본 연구에서는 축방향 자기장을 걸어주었을 경우 나타나는 자장의 효과를 수치적으로 계산하였다. 자기력의 증가에 따라 액상내의 유속의 크기는 상당히 억제되었다. 자장의 크기가 증가함에 따라 중심축 부근에서 상승하는 유동의 속도가 감소하기 때문에 S/L 응고계면은 점점 평탄해졌으며, B=0.3 Tesla에서 액상내의 온도 분포는 중심축 부근을 제외하고는 오직 전호 효과로만 계산된 결과와 거의 유사하였다. 또한 고상 및 액상 표면을 통한 열방출량 중 Ar 가스에 의한 열방출량은 3% 미만이었으며 대부분의 열량은 복사를 통해 방출되었다.

  • The electrical characteristics of single-crystal composite superconductors produced by a melting process were studied by neutron irradiation. In order to improve the current characteristics of the YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductor, it is necessary to form an effective flux pinning center inside the superconductor. In this study, an increase in flux pinning was attempted through neutron irradiation onto YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductors. The neutron irradiation was performed at 30 MeV for 500 sec, The electrical properties of the superconductors were measured in a magnetic field of 5 Tesla at 50 K using a magnetic properties measurement system (MPMS). After neutron irradiation, the critical current density of the YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductor in a 1 Tesla magnetic field was 1×105 A/cm2. Once neutrons were irradiated at 30 MeV and 10 μA for 500 sec, the critical current density was observed to increase significantly. When neutrons are irradiated to a superconductor, micro-defects are created in the superconductor, and they act as flux pinning centers that hold the magnetic field generated when an electric current flows.

  • Background: There is minimal literature on the morphology of partial distal biceps tendon (DBT) tears. We sought to investigate tear morphology by retrospectively reviewing 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (3T MRI) scans of elbows with partial DBT tears and to propose a basic classification system. Methods: 3T MRI scans of elbows with partial DBT tears were retrospectively reviewed by two experienced observers. Basic demographic data were collected. Tear morphology was recorded including type, presence of retraction (>5 mm), and presence of discrete long-head and short-head tendons at the DBT insertion. Results: For analysis, 44 3T MRI scans of 44 elbows with partial DBT tears were included. There were 9 isolated long-head tears (20%), 13 isolated short-head tears (30%), 2 complete long-head tears with a partial short-head tear (5%), 5 complete short-head tears with a partial long-head tear (11%), and 15 peel-off tears (34%). Retraction was seen in 5 or 44 partial tears (11%), and 13 of the 44 DBTs were bifid tendons at the insertion (30%). Conclusions: Partial DBT tears can be classified into five sub-types: long-head isolated tears, short-head isolated tears, complete long-head tears with partial short-head involvement, complete short-head tears with partial long-head involvement, and peel-off tears. Classification of tears may have implications for operative and non-operative management. Level of evidence: III.

  • In this research, we report the preliminary results of an insertional type parallel transmission (pTx) array that has 7-elements that are placed in the space above a patient table as a transmit (Tx) coil to give an RF transmission ($B_1{^+}$) field for the body object of a 3 Tesla (T) MRI system. In previous research, we have tried to compare the performances of different coil elements and array geometries for a pTx body image. Based on these results, we attempt to obtain a human image with the proposed pTx array. Through the simulation and experimental results, we introduce a possible structure of multi-channel Tx array and verify the utility of a multi-channel Tx body image using $B_1{^+}$ shimming. The insertional pTx array, combined with a receiver (Rx) array coil, provides an enhanced $B_1{^+}$ field homogeneity in a large ROI image as a result of $B_1{^+}$ shimming applied over the full body size object. Through this research, we hope to determine the usefulness of the proposed insertional type RF coil combination for 3 T body imaging.

  • 본 논문에서는 영구자석 자기공명영상시스템에 나쁜 영향을 기치는 외부 자기 잡음을 효율적으로 차폐하는 기술을 서술하였다. 유한요소법 전자계 해석을 통하여 영구자석의 주자계 방향과 일치하는 자기 잡음 성분이 자기공명영상에 주로 영향을 미치는 것을 밝혔고, 이의 해석 결과를 기반으로 자기잡음센서, 보상코일, 그리고 코일구동기로 구성되는 능동형 자기 잡음 차폐시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 자기 잡음 차폐시스템은 수 Hz 미만의 저주파 대역의 자기 잡음에 대하여 30dB 이상의 차폐율을 보였으며, 0.3Tesla 전신형 자기 공명영상시스템에 자기 잡음 차폐시스템을 적용하여 자기 잡음에 의한 영상 잡음이 크게 개선됨을 실험적으로 밝혔다.

  • Purpose: Three tesla high field MR has been important to those disciplines that are SNR limited, such as MR spectroscopy. Additionally, increased spectral dispersion is critical for minimizing spectral overlap and simplifying resonance structures. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) as a noninvasive method for evaluating brain tumor malignancy at 3T high field system Materials and Methods: Using 3T MRI/MRS system, localized water-suppressed single-voxel technique in patients with brain tumors was employed to evaluate spectra with peaks of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), choline-containing compounds (Cho), creatine/phosphocreatine (Cr) and lactate. On the basis of Cr, these peak areas were quantificated as a relative ratio.
