턱관절 디스크 검사 시 MRI는 유용한 검사법으로 디스크의 정확한 위치변화를 관찰하고자 개구상태에서 오랜 시간 검사가 필요하다. 이에 3D프린팅 기술을 이용하여 개구상태를 유지시켜 줄 고정 장치(TMJ device)를 제작하고 이를 기존 고정 장치와 비교하여 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 기존 TMJ device를 사용한 영상에 비해 3D 프린터로 자체 제작한 TMJ device를 사용한 영상에서 SNR이 다소 낮은 결과를 보였지만 임상적으로 사용하는데 큰 결함이 없고 환자 개인별 특화된 맞춤형 제작이 가능하고 더불어 3D 프린팅 기술을 활용하여 유사도구 제작에 기여함으로서 비용대비 편익이 상승될 것이라 사료된다.

Resistive random access memory devices have been widely studied due to their high performance characteristics, such as high scalability, fast switching, and low power consumption. However, fluctuation in operational parameters remains a critical weakness that leads to device failures. Although the random formation and rupture of conducting filaments (CFs) in an oxide matrix during resistive switching processes have been proposed as the origin of such fluctuations, direct observations of the formation and rupture of CFs at the device scale during resistive switching processes have been limited by the lack of real-time large-area imaging methods. Here, a novel imaging method is proposed for monitoring CF formation and rupture across the whole area of a memory cell during resistive switching. A hybrid structure consisting of a resistive random access memory and a light-emitting diode enables real-time monitoring of CF configuration during various resistive switching processes including forming, semi-forming, stable/unstable set/reset switching, and repetitive set switching over 50 cycles.

The aim of this study is to compare measurements of abdominal muscle thickness using ultrasonography imaging (USI) to those using a special transducer head device, during five different trunk stabilization exercises, ultimately to determine which exercise led to the greatest muscle thickness. Thirty eight healthy subjects participated in this cross-sectional study. The five types of trunk stabilization - i.e., a sit-up on the supine, an upper and lower extremity raise with quadruped on the prone, a leg raise in sitting on the ball, trunk rolling on the ball, and balance using sling on the prone position - were each performed with an abdominal draw. The thickness of the abdominal muscle - including the transverse abdominal (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) - was measured by USI with a special transducer head device, at rest and then at contraction in each position. Data were analyzed using one-way repeated ANOVA with the level of significance set at ${\alpha}$=.05. The results were as follows: 1) the TrA thickness was statistically significant (p<.05), whereas the IO and EO thicknesses were not (p>.05); 2) among the five types of trunk stabilization, TrA thickness significantly increased with the balance using a sling in the prone position, (p<.05), whereas no significant difference was noted for the four types of trunk stabilization (p>.05); 3) reliability data showed that there was a high degree of consistency among the measurements taken using the special transducer head device (ICC=.92). In conclusion, the balance using a sling in the prone position was more effective than any of the four other types of trunk stabilization in increasing TrA thickness in healthy subjects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical quality assurance results of portal dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device, a method that is extensively used for patient-specific quality assurance, and the newly released Mobius3D for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods: This retrospective study includes data from 122 patients who underwent IMRT and VMAT on the Novalis Tx and VitalBeam linear accelerators between April and June 2020. We used a paired t-test to compare portal dosimetry using an electronic portal imaging device and the average gamma passing rates of MobiusFX using log files regenerated after patient treatment. Results: The average gamma passing rates of portal dosimetry (3%/3 mm) and MobiusFX (5%/3 mm) were 99.43%±1.02% and 99.32%±1.87% in VitalBeam and 97.53%±3.34% and 96.45%±13.94% in Novalis Tx, respectively. Comparison of the gamma passing rate results of portal dosimetry (3%/3 mm) and MobiusFX (5%/3 mm as per the manufacturer's manual) does not show any statistically significant difference. Conclusions: Log file-based patient-specific quality assurance, including independent dose calculation, can be appropriately used in clinical practice as a second-check dosimetry, and it is considered comparable with primary quality assurance such as portal dosimetry.

In this study, We designed and implemented a assistant device for the standing X-ray views which is the one of the clinical X-ray imaging position. To evaluate the usability of the proposed assistant device, We choose 11 clinical patient postures that are used frequently and applied the postures to 5 volunteers. 11 images was taken from a volunteer for the patient postures. And we conducted a survey on safety and clinical usefulness, the 5 volunteers responded to the safety and 5 experts responded to the clinical usefulness. The survey results show that the volunteers feel more safe and the obtained images are very clear and clinically useful. The result for the image quality is 4.69 of 5(best) and safety is 2.84 of 3(best). It will be very profitable to both patients and hospitals by using the proposed assistant device.

For the spatiotemporally aligned observation of photothrombosis induction and transient variations of in vivo brain stroke, we developed a novel photothrombosis inducing system compatible to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system using nonmagnetic stereotaxic equipment. From the spatial point of view, the system provides a more reliable level of reproducibility of the photothrombosis in each brain. From the temporal point of view, from T1- and T2-weighted in vivo MR (magnetic resonance) images, the transient variations such as incidence, location, and size of the thrombosis are measured quantitatively. In addition, the final variation is observed in the ex vivo brain by TTC (Triphenyltetrazolium chloride) staining based on histological assay and utilized for the verification of the MR images. From the experimental result of the rat brain, the proposed system shows more reliable characteristics for transient variations of brain strokes.

목 적: 필름평가방법을 대신하여 전자포탈영상을 이용한 기하학적 정도관리 실시간 분석 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 전자포탈영상장치(Electronic Portal Image Device, EPID)가 선형가속기(CL-iX, Varian, USA)의 하부에 고정된 구조 때문에 발생되는 문제를 해결한 후 Eclipse treatment planning system (Version 8.1, Varian, USA)으로 기하학적 정도관리 항목을 생성하였다. 치료실의 4DTC (Version 10.2, Varian, USA)에서 전자포탈영상(single exposure before plan)을 생성하고 항목별로 빔을 조사하였다. Off-line review에서 전자포탈영상을 획득하고 이를 자체 개발한 기하학적 정도관리 실시간 분석 프로그램으로 평가하였다. 평가 방법으로 치료 중 오차(Intra-fraction error)는 모든 절차를 같은 날에 동일 조건으로 5회 연속 실시하여 분석하였고 치료 간 오차(Inter-fraction error)의 확인을 위해 모든 절차를 동일 조건에서 10일간 실시한 후 Iso-align$^{TM}$ quality control device를 이용한 필름평가방법과 비교하였다. 측정 및 분석 시간은 장치의 셋업에서 데이터 획득까지의 시간과 이후 분석완료까지 소요된 시간으로 구분하여 측정한 후 사용자와 수행과정의 편의성도 비교하였다. 결 과: 빛-방사선조사면 일치, 콜리메이터 회전축, 환자테이블 회전축, 갠트리 회전축 항목에서 각각 평균 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.2 mm의 치료 중 오차 값을 확인하였다. 10일간의 연속된 정도관리를 통해 치료 간 오차를 확인한 결과 항목별로 각각 평균 1.7, 1.4, 0.7, 1.1 mm의 오차 값을 얻었다. 그리고 측정 시간은 필름평가방법과 전자포탈영상을 이용한 방법에서 각각 평균 36분, 15분이 걸렸고 분석 시간은 평균 30분, 22분이 소요되었다. 결 론: 전자포탈영상을 이용하여 기하학적 정도관리를 실시할 경우 정도관리 도구로서 유용함을 알 수 있었다. 필름 미사용에 따른 비용 절감의 이점뿐만 아니라 측정 및 분석 시간도 줄일 수 있어 사용자 편의성이 커지고 필름 현상 과정 등의 생략으로 수행과정도 개선할 수 있었다. 또 자체 개발한 기하학적 정도관리 실시간 분석 프로그램으로 평가가 완료된 영상은 데이터화가 가능하여 자료의 보관이 용이해진다.

In veterinary medicine, most radiographic images are obtained by restraining patients, inevitably exposing the restrainer to secondary scattered radiation. Radiation exposure can result in stochastic reactions such as cancer and genetic effects, as well as deterministic reactions such as skin burns, cataracts, and bone marrow suppression. Radiation-shielding equipment, including aprons, thyroid shields, eyewear, and gloves, can reduce radiation exposure. However, the risk of radiation exposure to the upper arms, face, and back remains, and lead aprons and thyroid shields are heavy, restricting movement. We designed a new radiation-shielding system and compared its shielding ability with those of conventional radiation-shielding systems. We hypothesized that the new shielding system would have a wider radiation-shielding range and similar shielding ability. The radiation exposure dose differed significantly between the conventional and new shielding systems in the forehead, chin, and bilateral upper arm areas (p < 0.001). When both systems were used together, the radiation-shielding ability was better than when only one system was used at all anatomical locations (p < 0.01). This study suggests that the new radiation-shielding system is essential and convenient for veterinary radiation workers because it is a step closer to radiation safety in veterinary radiography.

The Near to Eye Display (NED) solves the problem of having a display larger than a small portable device. The virtual image of the NED is created using a microdisplay and imaging optics. It is important that the optics does not interfere with the human visual system and that the device is light, compact and easy to wear. In this paper the principles of a biocular NED, which is based on a novel diffractive Exit Pupil Expander (EPE), are presented. The optical system is compact and intrinsically free from distortions and misalignments.
