턱관절 디스크 검사 시 MRI는 유용한 검사법으로 디스크의 정확한 위치변화를 관찰하고자 개구상태에서 오랜 시간 검사가 필요하다. 이에 3D프린팅 기술을 이용하여 개구상태를 유지시켜 줄 고정 장치(TMJ device)를 제작하고 이를 기존 고정 장치와 비교하여 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 기존 TMJ device를 사용한 영상에 비해 3D 프린터로 자체 제작한 TMJ device를 사용한 영상에서 SNR이 다소 낮은 결과를 보였지만 임상적으로 사용하는데 큰 결함이 없고 환자 개인별 특화된 맞춤형 제작이 가능하고 더불어 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용하여 유사도구 제작에 기여함으로서 비용대비 편익이 상승될 것이라 사료된다.

BACKGROUND: Two-dimensional (2D) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is commonly used for assessing patients undergoing transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) device closure. 3D TEE, albeit providing high resolution en-face images of ASD, is used in only a fraction of cases. We aimed to perform a comparative analysis between 3D and 2D TEE assessment for ASD device planning. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational study conducted over a period of one year. Patients deemed suitable for device closure underwent 2D and 3D TEE at baseline. Defect characteristics, assessed separately in both modalities, were compared. Using regression analysis, we aimed to derive an equation for predicting device size using 3D TEE parameters. RESULTS: Thirty patients were included in the study, majority being females (83%). The mean age of the study population was 40.5 ± 12.05 years. Chest pain, dyspnea and palpitations were the common presenting complaints. All patients had suitable rims on 2D TEE. A good agreement was noted between 2D and 3D TEE for measured ASD diameters. 3D TEE showed that majority of defects were circular in shape (60%). The final device size used had high degree of correlation with 3D defect area and circumference. An equation was devised to predict device size using 3D defect area and circumference. The mean device size obtained from the equation was similar to the actual device size used in the study population (p = 0.31). CONCLUSIONS: Device sizing based on 3D TEE parameters alone is equally effective for transcatheter ASD closure as compared to 2D TEE.

A 3D CAD system that can be used on a smart device is proposed. Smart devices are now a part of everyday life and also are widely being used in various industry domains. The proposed 3D CAD system would allow modeling in a rapid and intuitive manner on a smart device when an engineer makes a 3D model of a product while moving in an engineering site. There are several obstacles to develop a 3D CAD system on a smart device such as low computing power and the small screen of smart devices, imprecise touch inputs, and transfer problems of created 3D models between PCs and smart devices. The author discusses the system design of a 3D CAD system on a smart device. The selection of the modeling operations, the assignment of touch gestures to these operations, and the construction of a geometric kernel for creating both meshes and a procedural CAD model are introduced. The proposed CAD system has been implemented for validation by user tests and to demonstrate case studies using test examples. Using the proposed system, it is possible to produce a 3D editable model swiftly and simply in a smart device environment to reduce design time of engineers.

인체 질병진단을 위해 3D 프린팅으로 제작된 보조기구를 엑스선 검사에 적용하였다. 사용 평가된 결과를 바탕으로 통계 분석하여 임상적 유용성을 평가하고 도입의사를 회귀분석 하였다. 실험은 90명의 방사선사들이 허리뼈 사방향 엑스선 검사에서 보조기구 사용에 동의한 환자를 대상으로 엑스선 검사 진행 후 기존 사용 보조기구와 요인분석 등으로 통계 분석하였다. 3D 프린팅으로 제작된 보조기구 도입의사에 대한 변수를 종속변수로 요인분석으로 계산된 3D 프린팅 보조기구 및 기존 사용 보조기구를 독립변수로 설정한 다중회귀분석 비표준화 계수 값이 0.893(p<0.001), 0.269(p<0.001)으로 나타나 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 결과를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 본 연구로 제작된 3D 프린팅 보조기구가 허리뼈 사방향 엑스선 검사에서 기존 사용하는 보조기구보다 임상적 유용성이 더 높음을 확인 할 수 있었다.

In large-scale hospitals, the department of biomedical engineering should always provide quick repair service for damaged medical devices to guarantee continuous patient treatment. However, in actual circumstances, there are so many time-consuming issues that delays device repair for weeks or even months; therefore, it is required to prepare alternative ways for quick repair service. In this study, we first mentioned about the regulation issues in Korea about the 3D printing-based medical device repair, and then introduced the results of our preliminary study that evaluated the feasibility of 3D printing-based medical device repair before real-field application. Results of the study demonstrated that, in all of the 23 cases, parts for repair that were manufactured by 3D-printing were successfully fixed and connected to the main body of the original device, and showed sufficient rigidity for protecting internal parts of the device. Considering the experimental results, medical device repair by applying 3D printing technology can be a promising alternative in cases when regular repair process is not available or takes too much time.

In many areas of technology there are machines and systems controllable in up to six degrees of freedom. Helicopters and underwater vehicles, industrial robots are among the first representatives of this category. They need six degrees of freedom in order to move and orient within their workspace. An even broader and more explosively growing area is 3D computer graphics and virtual environment. In this work, functions of 3D input device are described and two types of commercial 3D input device are presented. Then, a preliminary experiment of a low cost 6 axis force/moment sensor is presented that can also be sued as a 3D input device. A low cost force/moment sensor and its application in robot teaching experiment is described. It computes the direction of 3 components of the force and 3 components of the moment applied by human holding the sensor by hand. The concept is shown by an experiment where the tool position and orientation of a robot in 3 dimensional space is controlled by the proposed sensor.

To improve the throughput of Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, we focus on the scenario where D2D pair can reuse multi-channel of cellular communication. However, as sharing same channel with cellular communication can cause interference between D2D communication and cellular communication, a proper interference management is needed. In this paper, we propose interference-based channel allocation to select the channels to be used by D2D communication and a solution from game theory perspective to optimize the D2D communication throughput under multi-channel as well as guarantee the interference from it to cellular network. The simulation results verify the stability of the proposed method.

Background: Le Fort I osteotomy is a highly effective treatment for skeletal jaw deformities and is commonly performed. High Le Fort I osteotomy is a modified surgical procedure performed for improving the depression of the cheeks by setting the osteotomy higher than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy. Developments in three-dimensional (3D) technology have popularized the use of 3D printers in various institutions, especially in orthognathic surgeries. In this study, we report a safe and inexpensive method of performing a high Le Fort I osteotomy using a novel 3D device and piezosurgery, which prevent tooth root injury without disturbing the operation field for patients with a short midface and long tooth roots. Results: A 17-year-old woman presented with facial asymmetry, mandibular protrusion, a short midface, and long tooth roots. We planned high Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy. Prevention of damage to the roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve and accurate determination of the posterior osteotomy line were crucial for clinical success. Le Fort I osteotomy using 3D devices has been reported previously but were particularly large in size for this case. Additionally, setting the fixing screw of the device was difficult, because of the risk of damage to the roots of the teeth. Therefore, a different surgical technique, other than the conventional Le Fort I osteotomy and 3D device, was required. The left and right parts of the 3D device were fabricated separately, to prevent any interference in the surgical field. Further, the 3D device was designed to accurately cover the bone surface from the piriform aperture to the infra-zygomatic crest with two fixation points (the anterior nasal spine and the piriform aperture), which ensured stabilization of the 3D device. The device is thin and does not interfere with the surgical field. Safe and accurate surgical performance is possible using this device and piezosurgery. The roots of the teeth and the infraorbital nerve were unharmed during the surgery. Conclusions: This device is considerably smaller than conventional devices and is a simple, low-cost, and efficient method for performing accurate high Le Fort I osteotomy.
