Three-dimensional imaging and manipulation of CT data are becoming increasingly important for deterRing the complex structure and pathologies. Octree which is a hierarchical data model is used to reconstruct three- dimensional objects from CT scans. Orthogonal cross sections are displayed by traverse the octree partially. Arbitrary oblique planes are derived by intersecting the square region of plane and cubic volume of octal node. Thia method enables the display of multi-structured complex organ ann the realization by personal computer.

쇼크 갑상샘(shock thyroid)은 CT 저혈압 복합체(CT hypotension complex)의 드문 발현 중 하나이며, 쇼크 상황에서 CT상 갑상샘과 갑상샘 주위에 부종이 관찰될 때 진단 가능하다. 쇼크 갑상샘은 비보상성 쇼크를 시사하는 유용한 CT 징후일 수 있다. 이 상태는 가역적이며 적절한 치료를 통해 빠르게 회복될 수 있다. 저자들은 쇼크 갑상선과 일치하는 CT 소견을 보인 패혈성 쇼크 상태의 84세 여자 환자의 증례를 보고한다. 이와 더불어, 문헌에 보고된 임상 및 영상 소견을 함께 고찰하고자 한다. 본 증례는 쇼크 갑상선이 임박한 혈류역학적 불안정성의 초기 지표가 될 수 있으며, 중요한 예후 및 치료적 함의가 될 수 있음을 강조한다.

In the present study, at first, azo Schiff base ligand of (N,N'-bis(5-phenylazosalicylaldehyde)-ethylenediamine) ($H_2L$) has been synthesized by condensation reaction of 5-phenylazosalicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine in 2:1 molar ratio, respectively. Then, its cobalt complex (CoL) was synthesized by reaction of $Co(OAc)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ with ligand ($H_2L$) in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol solvent. This ligand and its cobalt complex containing azo functional groups were characterized using elemental analysis, $^1H$-NMR, UV-vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, the interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and CoL complex was investigated in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer solution, pH = 7 using UV-vis absorption, thermal denaturation technique and viscosity measurements. From spectrophotometric titration experiments, the binding constant of CoL complex with ct-DNA was found to be $(2.4{\pm}0.2){\times}10^4M^{-1}$. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by van't Hoff equation.The enthalpy and entropy changes were $5753.94{\pm}172.66kcal/mol$ and $43.93{\pm}1.18cal/mol{\cdot}K$ at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thermal denaturation experiments represent the increasing of melting temperature of ct-DNA (about $0.93^{\circ}C$) due to binding of CoL complex. The results indicate that the process is entropy-driven and suggest that hydrophobic interactions are the main driving force for the complex formation.

SNOMED CT는 전자의무기록(EMR) 및 전자건강기록(EHR) 시스템에서 표준화된 용어를 사용하여 진로기록을 작성하고 관리하기 위한 표준 의학용어 체계이다. 이 용어체계는 용어의 방대함 및 설계 구조로 인해 용어 체계가 매우 복잡한 특징이 있다. SNOMED CT에서 제공하는 의학 용어를 검색하기 위해 진료 과정에서 사용하는 기존의 브라우저들은 용어체계의 복잡성을 반영하지 못하여 진료기록의 작성 단계에서 그 효용성이 떨어지는 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 SNOMED CT 브라우저에 내재된 문제점을 제시하고 용어체계의 분석을 통해 의학 용어를 빠르고 효율적으로 검색하기 위한 검색 브라우저의 요건을 분석하고 개선안을 제시한다.

Purpose: The management of hemorrhagic shock is critical for trauma patients. To assess hemorrhagic shock, the clinician commonly uses a change in positional blood pressure, the shock index, an estimate of the diameter of inferior vena cava based on sonography, and an evaluation of hypoperfusion complex shown on a CT scan. To add the finding for the hypoperfusion complex, the 'halo sign' was introduced recently. To our knowledge, this 'halo sign' has not been evaluated for its clinical usefulness, so we designed this study to evaluate its usefulness and to find the useful CT signs for hypoperfusion complex. Methods: The study was done from January 2007 to May 2007. All medical records and CT images of 124 patients with trauma were reviewed, of which 103 patients were included. Exclusion criteria was as follows: 1) age < 15 year old and 2) head trauma score of AIS ${\geq}$ 5. Results: The value of kappa, to assess the inter-observer agreement, was 0.51 (p < 0.001). The variables of the halo-sign-positive group were statistically different from those of the halo-sign-negative group. The rate of transfusion for the halo-sign-positive group was about 10 times higher than that of the halo-sign-negative group and the rate of mortality was about 6 times higher. Conclusion: In the setting of trauma, early abdominal CT can show diffuse abnormalities due to hypoperfusion complex. Recognition of these signs is important in order to prevent an unwanted outcome in hemorrhagic shock. We conclude that the halo sign is a useful one for hypoperfusion complex and that it is useful for assessing the degree of hemorrhagic shock.

An operator $T{{\in}}{\mathcal{L}}({\mathcal{H}})$ is said to be skew complex symmetric if there exists a conjugation C on ${\mathcal{H}}$ such that $T=-CT^*C$. In this paper, we study properties of skew complex symmetric operators including spectral connections, Fredholmness, and subspace-hypercyclicity between skew complex symmetric operators and their adjoints. Moreover, we consider Weyl type theorems and Browder type theorems for skew complex symmetric operators.

To determine the utility of spiral computed tomography(CT) in the evaluation of carotid artery stenosis, spiral CT images of 10 patients were compared with both ones of conventional angiography and magnetic resonance(MR) angiography. The severeness of stenosis was determined for each Internal carotid artery on the basis of arterial narrowness : mild stenosis : 40 % or less, moderate stenosis = $40{\sim}70%$, severe stenosis = greater than 70 % of arterial narrowness. The short examination and clear depiction of the arterial lumen In areas of complex or low flow make CT angiography attractive alternative to MR angiography. Spiral CT angiography shows normal and abnormal carotid anatomy well when compared with conventional anglography.

Purpose: In maxillofacial surgery, proper preoperative diagnosis is very important in achieving good postoperative results. Although conventional CT scans are useful for visual representations of fractures, they cannot provide direct guidance for reconstructing facial bone fractures. However, the recent technology of multislice scanning has brought many clinical benefits to CT images. Direct correlations can be made between preoperative imaging data and operative planning. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the differences between conventional CT and multidetective three-dimensional CT(3D MDCT) measurements in craniofacial deformities. Methods: From January 2005 to November 2005, MDCT scans of 41 patients were evaluated by comparing them with conventional CT scans. The 3D MDCT images were assessed and reviewed by using a simple scoring system. Results: The 3D MDCT scans offered easy interpretation, facilitated surgical planning, and clarified postoperative results in malar complex fractures, mandibular fractures, and extensive maxillofacial fractures and cranioplasty. However, 3D MDCT images were not superior to conventional CT scans in the diagnosis of blowout fractures. Conclusion: In spite of its limitations, the 3D MDCT provided additional and more comprehensive information than the conventional CT for preoperative assessment of craniofacial deformities. Therefore, the 3D MDCT can be a useful tool for diagnosis and systematic treatment planning in craniofacial skeletal deformities.

The use of the finite element method for biomechanical analysis is increasing rapidly in recent years. Since biomechanical models are usually in very complex shapes, it takes a lot of time and efforts to build reasonable finite element models. In this paper, a new tetrahedral meshing algorithm from the series of 2-D computed tomography(CT) images has been proposed. In this scheme, the planar sections of three-dimensional objects and the side surfaces between two planar sections are triangulated first, and then an advancing front algorithm is employed to construct tetrahedral elements by using basic operators. A sample finite element model for thoracic vertebra is presented.
