목 적: 방사선치료에 있어 환자자세 설정(Set-up) 오차를 줄이기 위하여 많은 장비들이 개발되어 왔다. CBCT 촬영은 Set-up 오차를 줄이고, 정확한 치료를 수행하는 최신 방법 중 하나이다. CBCT의 조사야를 조절하여 영상의질(Image quality) 향상과 피폭선량을 측정하고 분석함으로써 임상에서 최적화하여 사용할 수 있는 치료조사야(Field size)를 제시하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: Catphan phantom을 이용하여 Half fan, Full fan mode로 조사야를 2~16 cm까지 2 cm 간격으로 촬영하였다. Small field size (2 cm, 4 cm), Medium field size (8 cm, 10 cm), Large field size (14 cm 이상)으로 구분하여 Image quality를 평가하였다. CTDi는 CTDi phantom과 Ion chamber를 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다. 결 과: CT값 일치도(CT number linearity)는 Small, Large field size에서 촬영한 값이 Medium field size보다 크게 나타났다. 공간분해능(Spatial resolution)은 Full fan에서 Small field size촬영을 제외하고 나머지 Field size에서 크게 차이가 나지 않았다. Half fan에서는 많은 차이를 보였다. CT 값 균일도(HU uniformity)는 Full fan에서는 Medium size를 제외하고는 제조사에서 권고하는 값을 초과하였으며, Half fan에서는 모든 Field size가 Full fan에서는 Medium field size에서는 안정된 값으로 분석되었다. CT 피폭선량(CTDi)는 Medium field size에서 증가 할수록 루트함수의 그래프의 형태로 나타났다. 결 론:Small field size에서는 Image quality와 실용성의 측면에서도 적절하지 않은 것으로 사료된다. Medium field size는 Large field size에서 보다 Image quality도 우수하고 환자의 피폭선량을 줄일 수 있으므로 본 논문에서는 CBCT 촬영 시 Field size 8~10 cm 촬영이 유용하다고 사료된다.

Among numerous factors that have an effect on visual field, the effects of background condition on the size of the visual field were investigated to obtain more practical visual field that can be readily applicable to industrial settings. A visual experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. Size contrast, meridian, nontarget density, and subject's gender showed a significant effect on the size of the visual field at $\alpha=0.01$. The size of the visual field was linearly proportional to size contrast, and inversely proportional to density. Female's visual fields were found to be significantly larger than male subjects', The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and the size of the head & eye field on right meridian was also larger than that on left meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. The regression equations to predict the visual fields on the given background condition were suggested. The visual fields suggested in this study would be valuable to the design of visual displays and the panel layout of various displays and controls.

Depending upon the eye and head movement, the visual field is often classified into three categories ; stationary field, eye field and head and eye field. To investigate the effect of background condition on the size of the visual field, an experiment was conducted, in which the subject was instructed to search a target with distinct orientations. In each trial, a single target was presented on the perimeter modified to cover the range of 330 .deg. around the fixation point, with the visual angle subtended 1.4 .deg. vertically and horizontally. Nontarget density, meridian, size contrast and subject showed a significant effect on the visual field at .alpha. =0.01, where density was inversely proportional to the size of the visual field, and size contrast linearly proportional to the size of the visual field. The size of the visual field on horizontal axis was larger than that on vertical axis, and that on right and upper meridian was also larger than on left and lower meridian. The shape was found to be horizontally oriented oval and statistically asymmetric with respect to horizontal and vertical axes. In addition, the regression equations to predict the visual field on the given background condition were suggested. These results were expected to be used as a design guideline when arranging displays and controls on panels such as automobile display panels, cockpits, etc.

The field size of the lumbar spine X-ray examination, which belongs to the most frequent examination in general radiography, is 5 times wider than the width of the lumbar spine. Exposure index (EI) as per International Electrotechnical Commission has a proportional relationship with the dose incident on the image receptor for clinical protocols in addition to RQA5, which is a calibration beam quality. In this study, the effectiveness of the set field size was evaluated through the change of EI according to the size of field during lumbar spine X-ray examinations. Lumbar anterior-posterior and lateral examinations was performed using a whole-body phantom, and the national average exposure conditions of Korea investigated in 2017 were introduced for the X-ray exposure. As a result of comparing the EI displayed on the console of digital radiography system for the three field size in ① 18 × 36 cm2 ② 25 × 36 cm2 ③ 36 × 36 cm2, the EI values showed a tendency to increase as the field size increased. Since the patient dose, such as organ dose around the lumbar spine, increases as the field size becomes larger, thus, if the EI obtained from the field size at a level that does not interfere with diagnosis is set as a reference, the effectiveness of the field size can be evaluated through the EI displayed on the console when the lumbar spine X-ray examination is conducted.

This study was performed on the dose distribution of various field size and the effect of penumbra shield in the telecobalt unit. The results obtained are as follows. 1. Errors of the light and ${\gamma}-ray$ field size was below the regulation as 0.52 percentage. 2. The coefficient of field area was increased with the larger field area, and this coefficient was showed the more difference in larger SSD. 3. The rectangular field areas, which were described by level of the same percentage depth does, were decreased with the more elongation factor. At the same elongation factor, the compensating factor was decreased with the larger field size. 4. The lead block or extension collimator was able to shield r-ray exposure of outside field size from 50 to 80 percentage. 5. On the matching adjacent fields, while the gap between beam edges are contacted, that overlapped beam edges indicated up to 140 percentage, and while the gap was 1 cm, it could be reduced to 90 Percentage. The lead-libocking on the overlapped area was more effective to lower dose, as 80 percentage in this case. 6. Percentage depth dose of various trimming field sizes were increased linearlly according to area 1 perimeter size, but the center split field size did not maintain linearlly.

The theoretical framework of the interaction fields for multiple scales based on field theory is applied to one-dimensional problem mimicking dislocation substructure sensitive intra-granular inhomogeneity evolution under fatigue of Cu-added steels. Three distinct scale levels corresponding respectively to the orders of (A)dislocation substructures, (B)grain size and (C)grain aggregates are set-up based on FE-RKPM (reproducing kernel particle method) based interpolated strain distribution to obtain the incompatibility term in the interaction field. Comparisons between analytical conditions with and without the interaction, and that among different cell size in the scale A are simulated. The effect of interaction field on the B-scale field evolution is extensively examined. Finer and larger fluctuation is demonstrated to be obtained by taking account of the field interactions. Finer cell size exhibits larger field fluctuation whereas the coarse cell size yields negligible interaction effects.

The purpose of this study is to provide baseline data on lung field size measured radiological method by chest PA image in normal Korean. The subject of this study is 496 normal persons who performed chest PA examination using x-ray digital radiography system. The measurement method is from the apex of right and left lung to the costophrenic angle of both lung, from the top of the image to the lowest costophrenic angle of both lung and transverse line of the largest lung area. As a result of this study, the following conclusions were obtained. A lung field size of male is larger than the female(p<0.05). The younger the age, the longer both lung length and total lung height statistically significant. As a increase height and length, A lung field size was increased(p<0.05). But, BMI is not associated with a lung field size. This study will be data of reference data when radiological technologists perform chest PA examination.

It is known that fixed source to skin distance (SSD) cannot be used when the treatment field is sloped or larger than the size of second collimator in electron beam irradiation and inverse square law using effective ssd should be adopted. Effective SSDs were measured in different field sizes in each 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18MeV electron energy by suing NELAC 1018D linear accelerator of Kosin Medical Center. We found important parmeters of effective SSD. 1. Minimum effective SSD was 58.8cm in small field size of $6\pm6cm$ and maximum effective SSD was 94.9cm in large field size of $25\pm25cm$, with 6MeV energy. It's difference was 36.1cm. The dose rate at measuring point was quite different even with a small difference of SSD in small field $(6\times6cm)$ and low energy (6 MeV). 2. Effective SSD increased with field size in same electron energy. 3. Effective SSDs gradually increased with the electron energies and reached maximum at 12 or 15 MeV electron energy and decreased again at 18MeV electron energy in each identical field size. And so the effective SSD should be measured in each energy and field size for practical radiotherapy.

The elliptic random field is an extension to the Gaussian random field. We proved a theorem which characterizes the elliptic random field. We proposed a heuristic approach to derive an approximation to the distribution of the size of one connected component of its excursion set above a high threshold. We used this approximation to approximate the distribution of the largest cluster size. We used simulation to compare the approximation with the exact distribution.

목적 : 의료용 선형가속기의 Independent Collimator는 현재 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 방사선량의 계산과 MU(Monitor Unit)의 계산에 사용되는 모든 기본 자료는 대칭 조사면를 기준으로 작성되었기 때문에 independent collimator를 사용한 비대칭적인 조사면의 경우 현재 사용하고 있는 계산 방식을 그대로 적용함에 무리가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 이러한 의문에 대한 체계적이고 과학적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 사료되어 본 연구를 진행하였다. 대상 및 방법 :본 연구는 Dual Photon Beam(6MV와 15MV)을 산출(産出)하는 선형가속기(Linac 1800, Varian Co)에서 collimator 사용시 산란 방사선의 총채로 표현되어지는 field size factor, beam qualify에 영향을 미치는 HVL와 PDD를 조사하였다. 먼저 field size factor는 water phantom(WP 600C Wellhofer, Germany)내의 Dmax에서 field size $3{\times}3cm$에서 $35{\times}35cm$까지의 방사선량의 변화를 square field로 $1cm^2$씩 증가시켜 가며 0.6cc ion chamber(NE 2571)로 측정하였다. Beam quality는 100cm SSD(source-surface distance)에서 $5{\times}5$, $10{\times}10$, $15{\times}15$ 및 $20{\times}20cm$ field size로 0, 3 및 10cm off-axis distance와 dmax 4, 10, 15 및 20cm의 깊이에서 측정하였다. Dose distribution을 분석하기 위하여 film densitometer와 water phantom(IC 10 ion chamber)을 사용, $10{\times}10cm$ field size에서 5, 10 및 15cm의 off-axis distance까지의 방사선량의 분포를 관찰하고 대칭 방사선 조사면와 비교 분석하여 실제 isodose 분포에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 결과: 1) Relative field size factor는 중심 축에서 off-axis lateral distance에 따라 다양하게 변화하였는데 6MV X-선의 경우 최대 $3.1\%$, 15MV X-선의 경우 최대 $5\%$까지의 변화를 보였다. 이때 off-axis factor를 구하여 교정을 하였을 경우 중심 축의 field size factor와 거의 유사한 값에 도달할 수 있었다. 2) Beam qualify의 변화를 관찰하기 위한 실험에서 HVL는 off-axis distance가 멀어질수록 감소하였고 PDD도 off-axis distance가 멀어지고 측정 깊이가 깊어질수록 감소되는 현상을 보였다. 통상적인 방사선 치료시에 이용되는 $5{\times}5cm$ 이상의 field size와 15cm 이내의 깊이에서는 3cm 와 l0cm의 off-axis에서 6MV X-선은 평균 $0.5\%$와 $2\%$, 15MV X선은 $0.4\%$와 $1.4\%$의 감소 현상을 보여 큰 편차를 관찰할 수 없었다. 3) Isodose distribution은 off-axis distance가 멀어질수록 depth dose의 증가치가 감소되었으며 특히 central axis의 가장자리 부위에서는 isodose curve의 위축이 확연하였다. 결론 : Independent collimator를 사용하여 비대칭 방사선 치료를 할 경우 MU의 계산은 off-axis factor와 PDD 보정이 필수적이며 임상적으로는 중심 축에서의 과소조사에 대한 정밀한 주의가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
