위암 환자의 PET/CT검사 시에 전신 검사를 한 후 물을 약 300 mL 정도 마시게 한 후 환자의 위가 위치한 부분을 추가적으로 검사를 진행하고 있다. 이는 오랜 금식으로 인해 위의 위-아래 위벽이 붙어있어 진단에 어려움이 있기에 물을 마시게 함으로써 위벽을 팽창시켜 진단의 효율을 높이기 위함이다. 검사 시에 보통 환자의 자세는 앙와위즉, 바르게 누운 자세에서 검사가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 같은양의 물을 먹이고 복와위 즉, 바르게 엎드린 자세에서 촬영하여 앙와위에서 촬영 시와 위 체부의 용적의 팽창 정도를 비교하고, 이를 바탕으로 위의 구조상 하단부에 위치한 유문부와 위의 아래쪽 병변에 대한 정확한 위치와 진단의 효율을 높이고자 한다. 또한, 두 자세의 검사 영상을 비교하여 위의 용적의 차이를 수치화 시키고, 표준화 섭취계수의 변화가 있는지의 여부를 알아보고자 한다. 본원에서 2009년 7월-2010년 1월까지 조기 위암과 진행성 위암을 진단 받고, 수술을 하기 전의 환자와 부분절제를 한 후 추적 검사를 하고 있는 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사를 위해 환자에게 $^{18}F$-FDG 7.4 MBq(0.2 mCi/kg)을 정맥주사하고 60분간 누운 자세로 안정을 취하도록 하였다. 검사 시작 전 물을 300 mL 마시게 한 후 먼저 환자를 앙와위로 눕히고 위 부분을 PET/CT 촬영하고, 전신 촬영 한 후 환자에게 다시 물을 300 mL 마시게 한 후 복와위로 눕히고 위 부분을 PET/CT 촬영하였다. 위 체부의 용적을 앙와위와 복와위에서 비교해본 결과 30명의 환자에서 앙와위 평균 위 체부의 용적은 460.29 $mm^2$이고, 복와위 평균 위 체부의 용적은 641.39 $mm^2$로 평균적으로 약 41.3%확장된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 앙와위와 복와위에서 위 종양의 최대 표준화 섭취 계수를 각각의 환자에게서 비교해 보았을 때 거의 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과로 보았을 때 앙와위 검사보다 복와위에서 환자의 검사가 위 체부의 용적이 보다 더 확장된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 표준화 섭취 계수의 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났기 때문에 앙와위에서의 판독 결과와 다르지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 거동이 불편한 환자에게는 복와위 추가 촬영이 어렵겠지만, 앙와위 추가 촬영과 더불어 복와위 추가 촬영을 한다면 위암환자의 진단에 많은 도움이 되리라 생각되고, 거동이 불편한 환자에게 사용할 수 있는 복와위 에서의 보조용구의 연구에도 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

Two hundreds of female aged 19 years old and up were recruited to evaluate the postural changes and bilateral variation of asymmetry over age. To find out the differences among the age group, subjects were classified into 5 groups, early young age(19-29), late young age(30-39), early middle age(40-49), late middle age(50-59), and old age(60-). 35 body measurements were taken by the 3-D body scanner which allowed us to take measurements which cannot be measured using traditional methods, including the shape of a cross section, slice area surface are, and volume. Bilateral variations were observed as a function of age; Depth of scapular point level, scapular point to center back, and blade angle. Postural change of anterior cervical angle, upper anterior thoracic angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, posterior cervical angle, and center back/center front ratio were also exhibited. In each measurements, subjects were classified into normal, and abnormal group. Percentiles of abnormal in shoulder line angle, blade angle, neck point $\∼$ acromial point $\∼$ scapular point, posterior cervical angle, and upper posterior thoracic angle were increased over age group. The upper body of lateral view was classified into 3 types of posture based on the previous research; straight, erect(leaning back), and stooped(bent forward). The percentiles of subjects who have straight postures were decreased as a function of age, but those of stooped postures were increased. Subjects who have erect postures did not so. The stooped posture group shows the big cervical fossa angle, anterior cervical angle, posterior cervical angle, upper posterior thoracic angle, and the small upper anterior thoracic angle comparing to the straight and erect posture group. These results could be apply for clothing construction reflecting the changes in back, shoulder, neck, and the bilateral asymmetry according to the target age group.

Purpose: The Gated cardiac blood pool scan is non-invasive method that a quantitative evaluation of left ventricular function. Also this scan have shown the value of radionuclide ejection fraction measurements during the course of chemotherapy as a predictor of cardiac toxicity. Therefore a reliable method of monitoring its cardiotoxic effects is necessary. the purpose of this study is to minimize the overestimate of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by modified body position to reduce the influence of scattered rays from surrounding organs of the heart in the background region of interest. Materials and Methods: Gated cardiac blood pool scan using in vivo $^{99m}Tc$-red blood cell (RBC) was carried out in 20 patients (mean $44.8{\pm}8.6$ yr) with chemotherapy for a breast carcinoma. Data acquisition requires about 600 seconds and 24 frames of one heart cycle by the multigated acquisition mode, Synchronization deteriorates toward the end of the cycle and with the distance from the trigger signal (R-wave) by ECG gating. Gated cardiac blood pool scan was studied with conventional method (supine position and the detector head in $30-45^{\circ}$ left anterior oblique position and caudal $10-20^{\circ}$ tilt) and compared with modified method (left lateral flexion position with 360 mL of drinking water). LVEF analysis was performed by using the automatically computer mode. Results: The ROI counts of modified scan method were lower than LV conventional method ($1429{\pm}251$ versus $1853{\pm}243$, <0.01). And LVEF of modified method was also decrease compared with conventional method ($58.3{\pm}5.6%$ versus $65.3{\pm}6.1%$, <0.01). Imaging analysis indicated that stomach was expanded because of water and spleen position was changed to lateral inferior compared with conventional method. Conclusion: This study shows that the modified method in MUGA reduce the influence of scattered rays from surrounding organs. Because after change the body position to left lateral flexion and drinking water, the location of spleen, left lobe of liver and stomach had changed and they could escaped from background ROI. Therefore, modified method could help to minimize the overestimate LVEF (%).

Objectives: Any uptake of I-131 after total thyroidectomy means the remant thyroid tissue or distant metastasis of the thyroid cancer. However diffuse hepatic uptake of I-131 without abnormal uptake was showen in many cases on I-131 whole body scan. The aim of this study was to classify the liver uptake after I-131 scan and to evaluate the analysis of this finding. Materials and Methods: Between 1982 and 1998, 104 patients(l4 males, 90 females) with normal liver function underwent I-131 scan after total thyroidectomy. Prospectively we reviewed the films of the whole body scan and analysed the correlations between results of radioiodine uptake, pathologic diagnosis, prognostic factors, lymphatic metastasis, and thyroid function test. Result: Diffuse hepatic uptake was found in 44 of 104(42%) patients. 10 of 39(26%) patients on I-131 100mCi, and 34 of 63(54%) on I-131 150mCi showed hepatic uptake. 52 of 104(50%) patients was locally invasive thyroid cancer. The rate of the hepatic uptake was no significant differences with the thyroid hormone levels(T3, Free T4) and thyroglobulin between uptake group and non-uptake group. Conclusion: The rate of I-131 uptake was high in high-dose radioiodine treatment group. However, we can not find any correlation among the thyroid functions, the extent of metastasis or the extent of local invasion. We need further study to find out the causes of the hepatic uptake of I-131 after total thyroidectomy, besides liver metabolism of I-131 attached thyroid hormones.

Serum thyroglobulin measurement and I-131 whole-body scintigraphy (WBS) are well-established methods for the detection of recurrence in the follow-up of patients with thyroid carcinoma. However, inconsistent results are observed frequently, and these two methods are not always able to detect recurrence. In some patients, serum thyroglobulin level is elevated but the WBS is negative, because the recurrent tumor is too small and below the sensitivity of the diagnostic scan, or there is a dissociation between thyroglobulin synthesis and the iodine frapping mechanism. In such cases, various nuclear imaging methods including Tl-201 Tc-99m-sestamibi, and F-18-FDG PET can be used besides anatomical imaging methods. Among them, FDG PET localizes recurrent lesions in WBS-negative thyroid carcinoma with high accuracy. Several studies have suggested that empirical high-dose I-131 therapy resulted in a high rate of visualization in post-therapy scans with evidence of subsequent improvement. An important question is when to operate on patients with recurrent tumor. We believe that surgical removal is the best means of treatment for patients with localized persistent tumor, despite the high-dose I-131 therapy. with tumor in thyroid remnant, and with isolated recurrence in the lymph node, lung or bone. In addition, we recommend palliative resection of locally unresectable mass with subsequent treatment with high-dose I-131 therapy. Before I-131 therapy, the evaluation of sodium-iodide symporter expression in thyroid carcinoma can predict iodine uptake. Retinoic acid is known to induce redifferentiation, and to enhance I-131 uptake in thyroid carcinoma. Retinoic acid therapy may represent an alternative approach before high-dose I-131 therapy.

In this study, we have developed the ergonomic pattern from the 3D human body reflecting cycling posture and extensibility of the stretch fabrics. Adjusting pressure level in the construction of athlete's tight-fitting stretch garments by reducing the original pattern is a challenging subject, which influence on the performance of the wearer directly. Therefore, in this study, relationships between the reduction rates of the 2D pattern obtained from the 3D human scan and resultant clothing pressure were explored to improve the fit and pressure exerted by reduced clothing pattern. Subjective wear sensations of the experimental garments were rated using a seven-point Likert scale on two consecutive days. While wearing the garments, subjects were asked to take five different postures including waist flexion, sitting and others. A Likert-type scale was used for the evaluation, with 7 points indicating the best fit in tight-fitting pants. Comparing 2/3T-pattern with T-pattern, the latter was superior to 2/3T-pattern in terms of adhere well to the waist and hip area in the 0.032 significance level. T-pattern was superior to 2/3T-pattern in terms of fitting and wear comfort. As results, the pattern obtained from the flexed body reflecting cycling posture already included the contraction and extension of the skin while cycling posture, so that the extra ease for movement and good fit was not need to be considered. The optimized reduction rates were determined with the proposed reduction rate, the resultant pressure range was within the range of $0.5{\sim}3.0gf/cm^2$ at eight locations on the body except front waist band and thigh band.

Thirty-eight patients with metastatic well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma treated with 200mCi $^{131}I$ were studied. There were false negative serum thyroglobulin values during TSH suppression or at anti-thyroglobulin antibody(+) and discrepancies between findings of whole body scan and serum thyroglobulin level. After one to five cycles of 200mCi $^{131}I$ therapy, complete remission and partial remission were achieved at 5.3% and 57.9%, respectively. We concluded that all of serum thyroglobulin, TSH, anti-thyroglobulin antibody, $^{131}I$ or $^{123}I$ whole body scan were necessary in follow up of metastatic well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Also, if there was no response after repetitive 200mCi $^{131}I$ therapy, higher doses of $^{131}I$ therapy should be considered.
