  • We have claculated the absorbed dose distributions in water phantom irradiated by high energy photon beam. PDD (Percent Depth Dose) and Beam Profile can be represented by functions of depths and distances by using one dimensional model model based on transport theory. The parameters on scattering and absorption are evaluated by using non-linear regression process method. The values neeessary for calculation are obtained by simple experiment. The calculated values are in good agreement with the measured values.

  • 목 적: 호흡에 의하여 영향을 받는 장기의 토모 치료 시 선속 폭(Field Width) 변화에 따른 종양 용적선량의 선량 전달 정확성을 분석하고 자체 제작한 Moving car를 사용하여 선량 변화의 차이를 확인하고 실질적인 종양 선량의 전달 선량을 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 자체 제작한 Moving car를 사용하여 종축 움직임 차이(0.0 cm, 1.0 cm, 1.5 cm, 2.0 cm)를 적용하고 선속 폭(Field Width) 변화(1.05 cm, 2.50 cm, 5.02 cm)에 따른 측정된 선량의 값을 계산된 선량 값과 비교하여 오차범위를 파악하였다. Gafchromic EBT 필름을 이용하여 측정한 DQA (Delivery Quality Assurance) 필름의 감광정도를 선량윤곽(Dose Profile)과 Gamma Histogram을 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 선속 폭(Field Width) 1.05 cm, 2.50 cm, 5.02 cm일 때 오차범위가 각각 -2.00%, -0.39%, -2.55%의 선량 전달율을 나타내었다. Gafchromic EBT 필름 분석의 선량 윤곽(Dose profile)에서는 Moving car의 움직임이 있는 상태에서 종축방향으로의 움직임이 클수록, 선속 폭(Field Width)이 좁아질수록 고선량 부분에서 계산된 선량과의 오차가 크게 나타났다. Gamma histogram에서는 gamma index가 선속 폭(Field Width)이 좁을수록 움직임의 영향이 상당히 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론: 자체 제작한 Moving car를 이용하여 움직이는 장기의 종축선량 차이를 확인할 수 있었으며 토모 치료 시 선속 폭(Field Width)을 작게 하고 호흡에 의한 장기의 움직임을 최소화하기 위하여 호흡조절 장치와 고정기구의 개발이 필요하리라 사료된다.

  • Background: Low-dose dexmedetomidine may be a suitable alternative to opioids for pediatric ambulatory procedures under general anesthesia (GA). However, the recovery profile remains unclear. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the effects of low-dose dexmedetomidine on the recovery profile of children. Methods: Seventy-two children undergoing ambulatory oral rehabilitation under GA were randomly and equally distributed into two groups (D and F). Group D received an infusion of dexmedetomidine 0.25 ㎍/kg for 4 min for induction, followed by maintenance of 0.4 ㎍/kg/h. Group F received an infusion of fentanyl 1 ㎍/kg over 4 min for induction, followed by maintenance at 1 ㎍/kg/h. The primary outcome was the extubation time. The secondary outcomes were awakening time, end-tidal sevoflurane (ET-Sevo) requirement, change in hemodynamic parameters, Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS), Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario pain scale (CHEOPS) score, length of PACU stay, and incidence of adverse events. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in the recovery profile between the groups: the median time for extubation was 3.65 (3.44-6.2) vs. 6.25 (4.21-7) minutes in groups D vs. F (P=0.001), respectively, while the corresponding awakening times were 19 (18.75-21) and 22.5 (22-24) minutes, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean ET-Sevo was low in group D (1.1 vs. 1.2; P < 0.001). The heart rate was significantly low across all time points in group D, without resulting in bradycardia. The median RASS and CHEOPS scores were also significantly lower in group D. No significant differences were observed in the mean arterial pressure, incidence of adverse events, or length of PACU stay. Conclusion: Low-dose dexmedetomidine was more effective than fentanyl as an opioid substitute at providing a better recovery profile in pediatric ambulatory oral rehabilitation under GA. Dexmedetomidine also significantly reduced sevoflurane consumption without causing adverse events or prolonging hospital stay.

  • Objective : High precision and accuracy are expected in gamma knife radiosurgery treatment. Because of the requirement of clinically applying complex radiation and dose gradients together with a rapid radiation decline, a dedicated quality assurance program is required to maintain the radiation dosimetry and geometric accuracy and to reduce all associated risk factors. This study investigates the validity of Leksell Gamma plan (LGP)10.1.1 system of 5th generation Gamma Knife Perfexion as modified variable ellipsoid modeling technique (VEMT) method. Methods : To verify LGP10.1.1 system, we compare the treatment plan program system of the Gamma Knife Perfexion, that is, the LGP, with the calculated value of the proposed modified VEMT program. To verify a modified VEMT method, we compare the distributions of the dose of Gamma Knife Perfexion measured by Gafchromic EBT3 and EBT-XD films. For verification, the center of an 80 mm radius solid water phantom is placed in the center of all sectors positioned at 16 mm, 4 mm and 8 mm; that is, the dose distribution is similar to the method used in the x, y, and z directions by the VEMT. The dose distribution in the axial direction is compared and analyzed based on Full-Width-of-Half-Maximum (FWHM) evaluation. Results : The dose profile distribution was evaluated by FWHM, and it showed an average difference of 0.104 mm for the LGP value and 0.130 mm for the EBT-XD film. Conclusion : The modified VEMT yielded consistent results in the two processes. The use of the modified VEMT as a verification tool can enable the system to stably test and operate the Gamma Knife Perfexion treatment planning system.

  • Purpose: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a high precision therapy technique that can achieve a conformal dose distribution on a given target. However, organ motion induced by respiration can result in significant dosimetric error. Therefore, this study explores the dosimetric error that result from various patterns of respiration. Materials and Methods: Experiments were designed to deliver a treatment plan made for a real patient to an in-house developed motion phantom. The motion pattern; the amplitude and period as well as inhale-exhale period, could be controlled by in-house developed software. Dose distribution was measured using EDR2 film and analysis was performed by RIT113 software. Three respiratory patterns were generated for the purpose of this study; first the 'even inhale-exhale pattern', second the slightly long exhale pattern (0.35 seconds longer than inhale period) named 'general signal pattern', and third a 'long exhale pattern' (0.7 seconds longer than inhale period). One dimensional dose profile comparisons and gamma index analysis on 2 dimensions were performed. Results: In one-dimensional dose profile comparisons, 5% in the target and 30% dose difference at the boundary were observed in the long exhale pattern. The center of high dose region in the profile was shifted 1 mm to inhale (caudal) direction for the 'even inhale-exhale pattern', 2 mm and 5 mm shifts to exhale (cranial) direction were observed for 'slightly long exhale pattern' and 'long exhale pattern', respectively. The areas of gamma index >1 were 11.88 %, 15.11%, and 24.33% for 'even inhale-exhale pattern', 'general pattern', and 'long exhale pattern', respectively. The long exhale pattern showed largest errors. Conclusion: To reduce the dosimetric error due to respiratory motions, controlling patient's breathing to be closer to even inhaleexhale period is helpful with minimizing the motion amplitude.

  • 다양한 촬영 조건의 CT 감쇠 지도가 PET 영상에 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위하여 다양한 kVp와 mA조건에서 Uniformity phantom 영상의 신호 강도(SI; Signal Intensity)와 표준 섭취율 계수(SUV; Standardized Uptake Value)를 측정하고, CTDI (Computed Tomography Dose Index)를 통해 각 조건에 따른 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 또한 동일한 조건에서 Resolution phantom의 반치폭(FWHM; Full Width at Half Maximum)을 측정하여 CT의 kVp와 mA에 따른 PET 영상의 화질 변화에 대하여 정량적으로 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 결과, CT의 촬영 조건은 PET 영상에는 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났으나, CT의 촬영 조건이 감소하게 되면 방사선 피폭이 감소하게 되지만 영상에 영향을 미치게 되므로 향후 진단이 가능한 CT 화질을 유지하면서 방사선 피폭을 최소화할 수 있는 양전자 방출 단층 촬영(PET/CT; Positron Emission Tomography / Computed Tomography)의 촬영 조건에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 되어야 할 것이다.

  • 반도체 소자의 크기가 100 nm 이하로 감소되면 통상적인 이온 주입 조건인 이온 에너지, 조사량 및 이온 주입 각도뿐만 아니라 Dose Rate 및 모재 온도가 Dopant Profile을 조절하는 데에 있어서 매우 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 Ribbon-beam 및 Spot-beam을 사용하여 활성화 열처리 후 Dopant Profile을 분석하였다. 이온 주입은 모든 시편에서 $BF_2$를 가속 에너지 10 keV 및 조사량 $2{\times}10^{15}/cm^2$로 고정하였다. 이온 주입 후 도펀트 활성화는 100% 질소 분위기 하에서 $850^{\circ}C$-30s 조건으로 RTA 열처리를 수행하였다. Boron 및 Fluorine의 Profile은 SIMS 분석을 통하여 구하였다. Spot-beam은 Ribbon-Beam에 비하여 Dose Rate 및 Cooling Efficiency가 높기 때문에 이온 주입 후 더욱 많은 양의 Primary-defect를 발생시키고 이에 따라 두꺼운 비정질 충을 형성한다. $BF_2$ 이온 주입 된 시편에서 B 및 F의 농도 Peak-height는 a/c 계면에 위치하는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한 B 및 F의 농도 Peak-height는 Silicon 모재의 온도가 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. Silicon 모재의 온도가 증가함에 따라 Active-area의 면저항이 변화하지 않는 상태에서 Vt (Threshold Voltage)가 급격히 감소함을 관찰 하였다. 비정칠 층의 두께가 증가할수록 a/c 계면 하단에 잔존하는 Residual-defect의 양이 감소하고 이는 측면확산을 감소시키는 역할을 한다는 것이 관찰되었다.

  • 물팬톰내에 조사된 10 MV X-선의 심부율을 입자의 수송이론을 근거로 한 1차원적인 모델을 이용하여 계산하였다. 계산된 이론식의 매개상수는 9개로 줄일 수 있었으며 실측치를 이용하여 비선형 회귀분석 방법으로 얻을 수 있다. 조사면과 선원간의 거리 및 깊이에따른 3차원적인 흡수선량분포의 계산식은 고에너지 광자선이 조사된 물팬톰내에서의 Beam Profile에 대한 시도함수를 이용하여 수송이론에의한 심부율계산을 3차원적으로 확장하였으며 흡수 선량 분포는 3차원적 위치의 함수로 널리 계산할 수 있다. 이 모델을 사용하여 계산된 이론값은 실험값과 $\pm12\%$ 이내의 만족할만큼 잘 일치하였다.

  • When a high density metallic implant is placed in the path of the proton beam, spatial heterogeneity can be caused due to artifacts in three dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans. These artifacts result in range uncertainty in dose calculation in treatment planning system (TPS). And this uncertainty may cause significant underdosing to the target volume or overdosing to normal tissue beyond the target. In clinical cases, metal implants must be placed in the beam path in order to preserve organ at risk (OARs) and increase target coverage for tumors. So we should introduce Ti-mesh. In this paper, we measured the lateral dose profile for proton beam using an EBT3 film to confirm dosimetric impact of Ti-mesh when the Ti-mesh plate was placed in the proton beam pathway. The effect of Ti-mesh on the proton beam was investigated by comparing the lateral dose profile calculated from TPS with the film-measured value under the same conditions.
