This study gives an account of the collateral standards in IEC 60601-1-3: 2008 specifying the general requirements for basic safety and essential performance of diagnostic X-ray equipment regarding radiation protection as it pertains to the production of X-rays. The collateral standards establish general requirements for safety regarding ionization radiation in diagnostic radiation systems and describe a verifiable evaluation method of suitable requirements regarding control over the lowest possible dose equivalent for patients, radiologic technologists, and others. The particular standards for each equipment can be determined by the general requirements in the collateral standard and the particular standard is followed in the risk management file. The guidelines for radiation safety of diagnostic radiation systems is written up in ISO 13485, ISO 14971, IEC 60601-1-3(2002)1st edition, medical electric equipment part 1-3, and the general requirements for safety-collateral standards: programmable electrical medical systems. Therefore the diagnostic radiation system protects citizens' health rights with the establishment and revisions of laws and standards for diagnostic radiation systems as a background for the general requirements of radiation safe guards applies, as an international trend, standards regarding the medical radiation safety management. The diagnostic radiation system will also assure competitive power through a conforming evaluation unifying the differing standards, technical specifications, and recognized processes.

This study was done to provide basic data on the safety of professionals in medical imaging system by measuring the electromagnetic waves generated in the medical imaging system being used in medical organization. The studied medical imaging systems were general X-ray system, computed tomography(CT), ultrasonographic system, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), PET-CT and fluoroscopic system, and through these devices, electric field and magnetic field were measured and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the measured values classified by the medical organizations were not much significant, but in the measurement by the medical imaging systems, there were high hazard elements in the sequential order of electric field PET-CT($17.7{\pm}22.9$)v/m, CT($10.3{\pm}8.7$)v/m, general X-ray system ($8.8{\pm}8.8$)v/m, magnetic field general X-ray system($5.06{\pm}8.26$)mG, CT($2.71{\pm}4.53$)mG and PET-CT($0.74{\pm}0.34$)mG, the systems that adopted X-ray as main ray source, and the more aged the medical imaging systems, the greater the effects of electro-magnetic waves($10.6{\pm}15.93v/m$ for 5 years or more, $6.14{\pm}5.60v/m$ for 5 years or less). The effects of electromagnetic waves on medical imaging systems or facilities were not much when the notification of ministry of knowledge economy is considered, but in the overall perspective considering all the equipments and facility of the medical organization, such effects were significant. It is determined that sustainable safety managements of electric field and magnetic field must be done during process from medical imaging system installation to maintenance to rule out such factors.

Polymerization of tetraethoxysilane on a glass substrate was investigated by remote microwave plasma using argon with portions of nitrous oxide as carrier gas. Transparent layer like a thickness of 0.5 ${\mu}m$ 3 ${\mu}m$ were obtained, differing in chemical composition, depending on plasma power and treatment time as well as on ageing time. In general the milder the treatment and the shorter the ageing was, the higher was the content of organic structural elements in the layer. We have identified that the chemical structure of our samples composed of mainly Si O and Si C groups containing aliphatics, carbonyl groups. These results were obtained by X ray photon spectroscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope combined with Energy dispersive X ray spectroscopy.

일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀은 방사선학과에 없어서는 안 되는 중요한 교재나 기존의 시판되는 팬텀은 고가의 수입품이기에 다양한 종류의 팬텀을 갖추는 것이 어렵다. 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용해 일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀을 더욱 저렴하고 간편하게 제작해 보고자 한다. CT 영상 데이터를 기반으로 제작한 골격 모형을 FDM(Fused Deposition Modeling) 방식의 3D printer를 이용해 출력한 골격 모형을 일반 X선 촬영 실습용 팬텀으로써 사용해 보고자 한다. 3D slicer 4.7.0 프로그램을 이용해 CT DICOM 영상 데이터를 STL 파일로 변환하고 G-code 변환 과정을 거쳐 3D 프린터로 출력하여 골격 모형을 제작한다. 완성된 팬텀을 X선 촬영, CT 촬영하여 실제 의료 영상, 시판되는 팬텀과 비교해 본 결과 실제 의료영상과 골 밀도 등의 세부적인 차이가 존재하였으나 실습용 팬텀으로써 활용할 수 있다고 판단되었다. 저가화되어 보급된 3D 프린터와 연구용으로 무료 배포된 3D slicer 프로그램을 활용하여 저렴하면서도 일반 X선 촬영 실습에 사용하는 것이 가능한 팬텀을 제작할 수 있었다. 앞으로의 3D 프린팅 기술의 다양화와 연구에 따라 보건 교육, 의료 서비스 등 여러 분야에 적용하는 것이 가능할 것이다.

Most hospital administrators in our country have doubted whether or not the size of their hospital personnel staffs, and the personnel management styles implemented are efficient or not. Actually, increased personnel expenditures due to sophisticated specialization of medical practices has become the biggest hospital expense. Therefore, it is said that hospitals can be run move efficiently by implementing reasonable management strategies for hospital personnel management. In this paper, the departments of diagnostic radiography in 16 general hospitals in Seoul, which were classified into 4 groups by the scale of hospital beds, were used as sample cases. Then, the data for the number of X-ray examination by diagnostic item was collected from sample hospitals. The unit hour spent on X-ray examinations in each diagnostic service was quoted from "A Study on setting-up of the relative value units of medical services and on the structure of current fee schedules" written by Mr. Ik Je Seong. The data analysis results are as follows; First, the number of hours per day spent on X-ray examinations in 13 hospitals out of 16 hospitals, was shorter than the general daily working hours (8 hours). Second, in the morning there was not enough time to work for X-ray examinations required, with the available manpower. In the afternoon, however, the situation was diametrically opposed to that in the morning. Third, in light of above results, though most hospitals employ sufficient personnel for the quantity of the actural work, they were always short-handed where their works were performed Fourth, this study tells us that there is a maldistribution of the work in the schedule : too much work for the available personnel in the morning. The following recommendations are resulted from the data analysis described above. First, it is recommended that all out-patients coming again, except specific patients(G. B. or I.V.P. etc) who have to have their X-ray examinations on an empty stomach in the morning among out-patients, be required to visit the hospital in the afternoon. Second, it is recommended that all new out-patients be required to make a reservation in order to equalize the number of patients throughout the day. Third, it is recommended that all in-patients, except specified patients, be arranged to have their X-ray examinations in the afternoon. Fourth, it is recommended that part time workers be employed during peak hours. This recommendation, if applied in a wider scale, would allow hospitals to overcome the problem of the maldistribution of work and personnel, and then more efficient hospital management through the appropirate personnel management procedures could be expected.

엑스선 영상을 획득하는 경우에 연속 엑스선을 사용할 경우, 다양한 엑스선 에너지로 인해 같은 물질이라도 두께에 따라 영상에서 정확하게 표현되지 않을 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼을 변경하여 영상의 질을 향상 시킬 수 있도록 하였다. SPEKTR v3.0을 사용하여 부가 필터를 추가한 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼과 고유 필터만을 사용한 일반 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼을 획득하였다. 획득한 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼을 Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission(GATE)의 방사선원으로 사용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. GATE 데이터를 사용하여 부가 필터가 사용된 엑스선 영상과 부가 필터를 사용하지 않은 엑스선 영상을 재구성한 영상을 74 keV의 단일 에너지 영상을 통해서 비교 분석하였다. 부가 필터를 사용하지 않은 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼을 사용한 경우 같은 물질이라도 두께에 따라 투과한 엑스선의 양이 물질 두께에 따라 감소되는 양과는 상이한 양상을 보인 반면, 부가 필터를 사용한 경우 두께에 따라 투과된 엑스선의 양이 물질 두께에 따라 감소되는 양과 유사한 결과가 나왔다. 즉, 감소되는 선량이 단일 에너지를 사용했을 때와 비슷한 결과가 나왔다. 부가 필터를 사용하여 엑스선 에너지스펙트럼을 변경하여 엑스선 영상을 획득할 경우 엑스선의 투과에 대한 보다 정확한 결과의 값을 획득할 수 있다. 영상의학검사에서 부가 필터의 적절한 사용이 영상의 질을 높이는데 크게 작용한다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 경남 김해지역내의 병원에서 사용되고 있는 진단용방사선발생장치 중 일반촬영용장비 40대를 X선관 가변조리개 성능검사와 광조사야와 실제 X선조사야면의 일치검사 및 초점과 가변조리개의 중심선속 일치검사를 통해 장비의 성능을 평가 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 1. 가변조리개 성능검사에서 최대X선조사야시험 결과는 부적절한 장비가 4대(10%), 최소X선조사야시 험결과에서는 5대(12.5%)로 나타났다. 2. 광조사야와 X선조사야일치시험 결과에서는 최대허용치인 2%이내가 23대(57.5%), 2%이내를 벗어난 장비가 17대(42.5%)로 나타났다. 3. 중심선속 일치시험 결과에서는 완전일치가 11대(27.5%), $0.5^{\circ}$이내로 벗어난 경우는 11대(27.5%), $0.6^{\circ}-1.5^{\circ}$이내가 10대(25%), $1.6^{\circ}-3^{\circ}$이내가 7대(17.5%), $3^{\circ}$이상인 경우가 1대(2.5%)로 나타났다. 결론적으로 가변조리개 중 일부가 기준치에 떨어진 성능상태에서 사용하고 있었으며, 광조사야와 X선 조사야일치상태 및 중심선속 일치에서도 최대허용치를 벗어난 상태에서 상당수의 장비를 사용하고 있었다. 그러므로 피검자의 방사선 피폭을 최소화하고 영상의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 주기적이고 지속적인 점검평가를 거쳐 노후화 되었거나 부족한 성능상태의 기기를 수리, 보완해야함을 알 수 있었다.

The major findings of this investigation on radiographic works in 125 medical institutions around Seoul and Kyung-Ki area, from March 1983 to February 1984, are summarized as follows. 1. The number of references provided on radiographic techniques were 3 to 5 in general hospitals (52.1%), in hospitals (58.5%), and clinics (44.5%), and only the 10.4% of general hospitals had 11 or more. 2. The relatively high percentages of 75.0% of general hospitals and 68.3% of hospitals have established the standardized radiographic methods for regions examined, but most clinics (61.1%) have not. 3. As a log system for the radiographic request, the method of "routine study, or all the x-ray examinations are marked as 0 on a printed form" was most commonly used by general hospitals (62.5%) and hospitals (51.2%), and "the doctors employ their own methods" in most clinics (44.6%). 4. In the 85.4% of general hospitals, the 68.3% of hospitals and the 38.9% of clinics, the data such as diagnosis, clinic history, purpose of x-ray examination were recorded on a radiographic request at all times, or at least in part. 5. On a scale of hardness and easiness of order of doctors, the greatest response was "fairly easy to understand", and the 37.5% of general hospitals responded as "sometimes hard". 6. In determining the standards for radiographic factors, the general hospitals (62.5%) and hospitals (65.9%) adapted mostly "a departmental check list", and the clinics (61.1%) used mainly "a personal decision". 7. In using the immobilizing devices, angligner, and radiographic accessories, the Percentages were high in general hospitals and hospitals on the one hand, and were low in clinics on the other. 8. A consideration with regard to the devices for an improvement of examination of the same patients was totally ignored by the 50.0% of clinics, the 26.8% of hospitals and the 20.8% of general hospitals. 9. The causes of re-examination were due largely to patients (33.6%), and followed proportionately by incorrect exposure (22.8%), errors in positioning (22.0%), film processing faults (9.2%), conditions of x-ray equipments (8.8%), and quality of x-ray films (3.6%). 10. The conference on radiography was conducted regularly or irregularly by the 87.5% of general hospitals, the 56.1% of hospitals, and the 27.7% of clinics, and the meeting was proceeded only by radiologic technologists.

형광 X-선 스펙트럼을 분석 방법은 RoHS 성분 및 중금속 함량 분석 등 여러 분야에 응용이 가능하며 비교적 빠른 시간 안에 함량 분석 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 형광 X-선 스펙트럼에는 잡음 및 여러 요인이 포함되어 있어 분석 정확도를 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 여러 요인 중 잡음의 특징을 분석하여 형광 X-선 스펙트럼 분석의 정확도를 높이고자 한다. 형광 X-선 스펙트럼은 산탄잡음(푸아송 잡음)의 특징을 가지고 있으며, 따라서 작은 신호에서는 잡음의 크기가 상대적으로 크고, 큰 신호에서는 잡음의 크기가 상대적으로 작은 특징을 가지고 있다. 기존에 잡음을 분석하고 제거하는 방법 및 알고리즘은 이러한 특징을 반영하지 않은 일반적인 목적으로 사용되는 방법으로 일반적인 알고리즘을 사용하여 잡음을 제거하게 되면 왜곡된 결과를 얻게 된다. 정확한 잡음 분석을 기반으로 효율적인 잡음 제거 알고리즘을 설계할 수 있고, 또한 높은 정확도의 원소 함량 분석 결과를 기대할 수 있다.
