토지이용수문학을 위한 하나의 대안으로, 모형의 단순성, 모형변형의 용이성, 그리 고 모의된 모형으로부터 지속적인 유량 예측 능력을 지닌 Lumped모형을 이용해 토지이용 변화에 따른 수문특성의 변화를 추적하였다. Blackie(1972)의 모형을 근간으로, R1131(11-parameter, 3-storage, l-input option) 모형을 구축하였다. 연구 대상 유역분지는 케냐에 있는 Kimakia Catchement K11이며, 이곳의 토지이용은 3번 변화하였다. 3단계의 토 지이용 기간에 대해 모형을 보정한 결과, 모형유효도는 96.78%, 97.20%, 94.62%이며, 전체유 량오차는 각각 -1.78%, -3.36%, 5.32% 였다. 보정된 모형을 이용해 각 토지이용 단계별로 확장유출량을 발생시키고, 빈도해석을 시도했다. 홍수 규모가 작은 경우 식생변화에 따라 31.3%와 32.1% 정도로 홍수량이 줄어들었으나, 홍수 규모가 커짐에 따라 홍수량의 감소 정 도는 점차 작아지고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 갈수량의 변화에서도 발견된다. 또한 식생이 어 느 정도까지 성장한 이후에는 계속된 식생 성장에도 불구하고 홍수량과 갈수량은 큰 변화가 없다.

Roy Huddle, having invented the coated particle in Harwell 1957, stated in the early 1970s that we know now everything about particles and coatings and should be going over to deal with other problems. This was on the occasion of the Dragon fuel performance information meeting London 1973: How wrong a genius be! It took until 1978 that really good particles were made in Germany, then during the Japanese HTTR production in the 1990s and finally the Chinese 2000-2001 campaign for HTR-10. Here, we present a review of history and present status. Today, good fuel is measured by different standards from the seventies: where $9*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was typical for early AVR carbide fuel and $3*10^{-4}$ initial free heavy metal fraction was acceptable for oxide fuel in THTR, we insist on values more than an order of magnitude below this value today. Half a percent of particle failure at the end-of-irradiation, another ancient standard, is not even acceptable today, even for the most severe accidents. While legislation and licensing has not changed, one of the reasons we insist on these improvements is the preference for passive systems rather than active controls of earlier times. After renewed HTGR interest, we are reporting about the start of new or reactivated coated particle work in several parts of the world, considering the aspects of designs/ traditional and new materials, manufacturing technologies/ quality control quality assurance, irradiation and accident performance, modeling and performance predictions, and fuel cycle aspects and spent fuel treatment. In very general terms, the coated particle should be strong, reliable, retentive, and affordable. These properties have to be quantified and will be eventually optimized for a specific application system. Results obtained so far indicate that the same particle can be used for steam cycle applications with $700-750^{\circ}C$ helium coolant gas exit, for gas turbine applications at $850-900^{\circ}C$ and for process heat/hydrogen generation applications with $950^{\circ}C$ outlet temperatures. There is a clear set of standards for modem high quality fuel in terms of low levels of heavy metal contamination, manufacture-induced particle defects during fuel body and fuel element making, irradiation/accident induced particle failures and limits on fission product release from intact particles. While gas-cooled reactor design is still open-ended with blocks for the prismatic and spherical fuel elements for the pebble-bed design, there is near worldwide agreement on high quality fuel: a $500{\mu}m$ diameter $UO_2$ kernel of 10% enrichment is surrounded by a $100{\mu}m$ thick sacrificial buffer layer to be followed by a dense inner pyrocarbon layer, a high quality silicon carbide layer of $35{\mu}m$ thickness and theoretical density and another outer pyrocarbon layer. Good performance has been demonstrated both under operational and under accident conditions, i.e. to 10% FIMA and maximum $1600^{\circ}C$ afterwards. And it is the wide-ranging demonstration experience that makes this particle superior. Recommendations are made for further work: 1. Generation of data for presently manufactured materials, e.g. SiC strength and strength distribution, PyC creep and shrinkage and many more material data sets. 2. Renewed start of irradiation and accident testing of modem coated particle fuel. 3. Analysis of existing and newly created data with a view to demonstrate satisfactory performance at burnups beyond 10% FIMA and complete fission product retention even in accidents that go beyond $1600^{\circ}C$ for a short period of time. This work should proceed at both national and international level.

여우는 한국에서 1980년대 이후로 절멸된 것으로 취급하고 있으며, 현재는 환경부에서 멸종위기 1급 동물로 지정되어 소백산국립공원에서 복원사업이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여우복원사업에 필요한 적정 모델링과 방사 전략을 수립하기 위하여, VORTEX 프로그램을 이용한 개체군 생존력 분석(Population viability analysis: PVA)을 수행하였다. 초기 개체군 0에서 매년 10개체(암5, 수5)를 향후 10년간 지속적으로 방사할 경우, 개체군의 이입으로 50년간 개체군 성장률은 $0.018{\pm}0.204$였으며, 절멸확률은 0.354로 나타났다. 최초 방사 후 16년차에 116.34로 최대 개체군 크기를 보였으나, 17년차부터 매년 1.22의 감소율을 나타내었다. 방사된 여우의 지속적인 성장과 절멸을 방지하기 위해서는 최초 방사 17년 이후 추가적인 방사가 필요하며, 장기적인 여우 존속을 위해서는 매년 12개체 이상을 방사하는 것이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 연간 6개체 이하일 경우 50년 후의 절멸 확률은 80% 이상으로 나타났으며, 최소한의 개체군 성장을 위해서는 8개체 이상의 추가 방사가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 설정된 조건값에서 매년 10개체씩 암수의 성비를 변화하여 6:4 로 10년간 방사할 경우 1:1 비율보다 안정적인 개체군 성장률을 보였으나, 암컷의 비율이 7:3이상으로 높아질 경우 부정적인 결과를 보였다. 재난요인으로 설정된 road-kill과 밀렵은 여우복원사업의 성패에 중요한 요인으로 확인되었다. 초기 적용값을 기준으로 각각의 요인이 3% 감소할 경우에는 절멸 확률은 30%로 낮아졌으며, 3% 이상 증가할 경우 50년 후의 절멸 확률은 약 90%에 이르는 것으로 분석되었다.

The district of Marlborough has had more than its share of river management projects over the past 150 years, each one uniquely affecting the geomorphology and flood hazard of the Wairau Plains. A major early project was to block the Opawa distributary channel at Conders Bend. The Opawa distributary channel took a third and more of Wairau River floodwaters and was a major increasing threat to Blenheim. The blocking of the Opawa required the Wairau and Lower Wairau rivers to carry greater flood flows more often. Consequently the Lower Wairau River was breaking out of its stopbanks approximately every seven years. The idea of diverting flood waters at Tuamarina by providing a direct diversion to the sea through the beach ridges was conceptualised back around the 1920s however, limits on resources and machinery meant the mission of excavating this diversion didn't become feasible until the 1960s. In 1964 a 10 m wide pilot channel was cut from the sea to Tuamarina with an initial capacity of $700m^3/s$. It was expected that floods would eventually scour this 'Wairau Diversion' to its design channel width of 150 m. This did take many more years than initially thought but after approximately 50 years with a little mechanical assistance the Wairau Diversion reached an adequate capacity. Using the power of the river to erode the channel out to its design width and depth was a brilliant idea that saved many thousands of dollars in construction costs and it is somewhat ironic that it is that very same concept that is now being used to deal with the aggradation problem that the Wairau Diversion has caused. The introduction of the Wairau Diversion did provide some flood relief to the lower reaches of the river but unfortunately as the Diversion channel was eroding and enlarging the Lower Wairau River was aggrading and reducing in capacity due to its inability to pass its sediment load with reduced flood flows. It is estimated that approximately $2,000,000m^3$ of sediment was deposited on the bed of the Lower Wairau River in the time between the Diversion's introduction in 1964 and 2010, raising the Lower Wairau's bed upwards of 1.5m in some locations. A numerical morphological model (MIKE-11 ST) was used to assess a number of options which led to the decision and resource consent to construct an erodible (fuse plug) bank at the head of the Wairau Diversion to divert more frequent scouring-flows ($+400m^3/s$)down the Lower Wairau River. Full control gates were ruled out on the grounds of expense. The initial construction of the erodible bank followed in late 2009 with the bank's level at the fuse location set to overtop and begin washing out at a combined Wairau flow of $1,400m^3/s$ which avoids berm flooding in the Lower Wairau. In the three years since the erodible bank was first constructed the Wairau River has sustained 14 events with recorded flows at Tuamarina above $1,000m^3/s$ and three of events in excess of $2,500m^3/s$. These freshes and floods have resulted in washout and rebuild of the erodible bank eight times with a combined rebuild expenditure of $80,000. Marlborough District Council's Rivers & Drainage Department maintains a regular monitoring program for the bed of the Lower Wairau River, which consists of recurrently surveying a series of standard cross sections and estimating the mean bed level (MBL) at each section as well as an overall MBL change over time. A survey was carried out just prior to the installation of the erodible bank and another survey was carried out earlier this year. The results from this latest survey show for the first time since construction of the Wairau Diversion the Lower Wairau River is enlarging. It is estimated that the entire bed of the Lower Wairau has eroded down by an overall average of 60 mm since the introduction of the erodible bank which equates to a total volume of $260,000m^3$. At a cost of $$0.30/m^3$ this represents excellent value compared to mechanical dredging which would likely be in excess of $$10/m^3$. This confirms that the idea of using the river to enlarge the channel is again working for the Wairau River system and that in time nature's "excavator" will provide a channel capacity that will continue to meet design requirements.

현재 의료방사선 분야에서 차폐를 목적으로 주로 사용되고 있는 납(Pb)소재는 방사선 차폐 기능은 뛰어 나지만 납 자체가 가지고 있는 인체 유해성과 무거운 무게에 의한 불편함 때문에 지속적으로 직, 간접적으로 방사선 피폭 위험을 차단함과 동시에 납 소재를 대체할 수 있는 인체 친화적인이며 가벼우면서 사용편의성을 가진 차폐소재의 연구는 지속적으로 진행되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일반적으로 사용되는 PET(polyethylene terephthalate) 필름과 실제 방사선 방호복 사용되는 원단소재를 기재로 하여 방사선을 차폐할 수 있는 금속물질인 비스무트, 텅스텐, 주석을 스퍼터링 진공증착 방식을 통한 다층박막을 구현하여 차페필름을 제작하여 방사선 차폐소재로의 적용가능성을 평가하였다. 차폐필름을 제작하기 위한 인가전압, 롤 구동속력, 가스공급량을 제어하면서 차폐물질별 최적화된 조건을 확립하여 방사선 차폐필름 제작하였다. 모재와 차폐금속박막간 밀착력 확인은 Cross-cut 100/100으로 확인하였고 시간에 따른 박막의 변화를 측정하기 위해 내열탕 테스트 1시간을 통하여 박막의 안정성을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 구현된 차폐필름의 차폐성능은 한국방사선진흥협회를 통한 실제 방사선 차폐성능을 측정한 결과 시험조건(역넓은 빔, 관전압 50 kV, 반가층 1.828 mmAl)을 설정하여 감쇠비 16.4 (초기값 0.300 mGy/s, 측정값 0.018 mGy/s)와 감쇠비 4.31(초기값 0.300 mGy/s, 측정값 0.069 mGy/s)의 결과를 얻었다. 추후 제품화를 위한 공정효율성을 확보하여 가벼우면서 차폐성능을 보유한 필름 및 원단을 활용하여 방사선 방호복이나 차폐기능을 가진 건축자재로의 필름적용을 위한 초석을 마련하였다.

The purpose of this thesis is to derive a unit hydrograph which may be applied to the ungaged watershed area from the relations between directly measurable unitgraph properties such as peak discharge(qp), time to peak discharge (Tp), and lag time (Lg) and watershed characteristics such as river length(L) from the given station to the upstream limits of the watershed area in km, river length from station to centroid of gravity of the watershed area in km (Lca), and main stream slope in meter per km (S). Other procedure based on routing a time-area diagram through catchment storage named Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph(IUH). Dimensionless unitgraph also analysed in brief. The basic data (1969 to 1973) used in these studies are 9 recording level gages and rating curves, 41 rain gages and pluviographs, and 40 observed unitgraphs through the 9 sub watersheds in Nak Oong River basin. The results summarized in these studies are as follows; 1. Time in hour from start of rise to peak rate (Tp) generally occured at the position of 0.3Tb (time base of hydrograph) with some indication of higher values for larger watershed. The base flow is comparelatively higher than the other small watershed area. 2. Te losses from rainfall were divided into initial loss and continuing loss. Initial loss may be defined as that portion of storm rainfall which is intercepted by vegetation, held in deppression storage or infiltrated at a high rate early in the storm and continuing loss is defined as the loss which continues at a constant rate throughout the duration of the storm after the initial loss has been satisfied. Tis continuing loss approximates the nearly constant rate of infiltration (${\Phi}$-index method). The loss rate from this analysis was estimated 50 Per cent to the rainfall excess approximately during the surface runoff occured. 3. Stream slope seems approximate, as is usual, to consider the mainstreamonly, not giving any specific consideration to tributary. It is desirable to develop a single measure of slope that is representative of the who1e stream. The mean slope of channel increment in 1 meter per 200 meters and 1 meter per 1400 meters were defined at Gazang and Jindong respectively. It is considered that the slopes are low slightly in the light of other river studies. Flood concentration rate might slightly be low in the Nak Dong river basin. 4. It found that the watershed lag (Lg, hrs) could be expressed by Lg=0.253 (L.Lca)0.4171 The product L.Lca is a measure of the size and shape of the watershed. For the logarithms, the correlation coefficient for Lg was 0.97 which defined that Lg is closely related with the watershed characteristics, L and Lca. 5. Expression for basin might be expected to take form containing theslope as {{{{ { L}_{g }=0.545 {( { L. { L}_{ca } } over { SQRT {s} } ) }^{0.346 } }}}} For the logarithms, the correlation coefficient for Lg was 0.97 which defined that Lg is closely related with the basin characteristics too. It should be needed to take care of analysis which relating to the mean slopes 6. Peak discharge per unit area of unitgraph for standard duration tr, ㎥/sec/$\textrm{km}^2$, was given by qp=10-0.52-0.0184Lg with a indication of lower values for watershed contrary to the higher lag time. For the logarithms, the correlation coefficient qp was 0.998 which defined high sign ificance. The peak discharge of the unitgraph for an area could therefore be expected to take the from Qp=qp. A(㎥/sec). 7. Using the unitgraph parameter Lg, the base length of the unitgraph, in days, was adopted as {{{{ {T}_{b } =0.73+2.073( { { L}_{g } } over {24 } )}}}} with high significant correlation coefficient, 0.92. The constant of the above equation are fixed by the procedure used to separate base flow from direct runoff. 8. The width W75 of the unitgraph at discharge equal to 75 per cent of the peak discharge, in hours and the width W50 at discharge equal to 50 Per cent of the peak discharge in hours, can be estimated from {{{{ { W}_{75 }= { 1.61} over { { q}_{b } ^{1.05 } } }}}} and {{{{ { W}_{50 }= { 2.5} over { { q}_{b } ^{1.05 } } }}}} respectively. This provides supplementary guide for sketching the unitgraph. 9. Above equations define the three factors necessary to construct the unitgraph for duration tr. For the duration tR, the lag is LgR=Lg+0.2(tR-tr) and this modified lag, LgRis used in qp and Tb It the tr happens to be equal to or close to tR, further assume qpR=qp. 10. Triangular hydrograph is a dimensionless unitgraph prepared from the 40 unitgraphs. The equation is shown as {{{{ { q}_{p } = { K.A.Q} over { { T}_{p } } }}}} or {{{{ { q}_{p } = { 0.21A.Q} over { { T}_{p } } }}}} The constant 0.21 is defined to Nak Dong River basin. 11. The base length of the time-area diagram for the IUH routing is {{{{C=0.9 {( { L. { L}_{ca } } over { SQRT { s} } ) }^{1/3 } }}}}. Correlation coefficient for C was 0.983 which defined a high significance. The base length of the T-AD was set to equal the time from the midpoint of rain fall excess to the point of contraflexure. The constant K, derived in this studies is K=8.32+0.0213 {{{{ { L} over { SQRT { s} } }}}} with correlation coefficient, 0.964. 12. In the light of the results analysed in these studies, average errors in the peak discharge of the Synthetic unitgraph, Triangular unitgraph, and IUH were estimated as 2.2, 7.7 and 6.4 per cent respectively to the peak of observed average unitgraph. Each ordinate of the Synthetic unitgraph was approached closely to the observed one.

매향' 딸기의 안토시아닌 생합성은 개화 후 26일째 시작되어 과실의 성숙기 동안 계속된다. 딸기로부터 안토시아닌의 생합성에 관여하는 주요 유전자를 분리하였다. 각각의 유전자에 대해, 다양한 식물체의 유사 유전자의 염기서열을 비교하여 PCR (polymerase chain reaciton) primer를 제작하였다. 숙기의 딸기에서 분리된 total RNA로부터 합성된 CDNA와 각 primer를 이용하여 RT (reverse transcriptase)-PCR을 수행하였다. 각 CDNA clone의 염기서열을 작성하여 분석한 결과, 이들은 안토시아닌 생합성에 관여하는 phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), 4-cummarate CoA ligase (4CL), chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), anthocyanidine synthase (ANS) 그리고 UDP-glucose:flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT) 효소에 해당되었다. Northern blot 분석 결과, 이들 유전자는 과실 발달과정에서 시기적으로 조절되었다. 특히 PAL을 제외한 모든 유전자는 과실에서만 주로 발현되었다. PAL, DFR 그리고 ANS유전자는 과실 초기 발달 단계인 개화 후 10일에 검출된 후 감소하다가, 22일에 다시 증가하기 시작하여 34일에 최대가 되었다. 한편, 다른 유전자들은 초기에는 발현되지 않다가, 안토시아닌이 축적되기 시작하는 개화 후 $22{\sim}30$일에 처음으로 검출되었다. 본 연구를 통해, 딸기 과실 발달과정에서 안토시아닌 생합성 과정에 관여하는 여러 유전자가 과실 숙기에 함께 조절되는 현상을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구 결과는 안토시아닌 합성과정을 제어하는 조절 유전자가 존재한다는 것을 시사한다. 그리고 딸기의 안토시아닌 생합성 유전자의 발현패턴을 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있는 것으로 보아, 딸기의 안토시아닌 생합성에는 적어도 두 가지 서로 다른 조절 기작이 관여하여 색소 발달 과정을 제어할 것으로 보인다.

전통적으로 나태한 학습에 해당하는 국소가중회귀(LWR: Locally Weighted Regression)모델은 입력변수인 질의지점에 따라 예측의 해를 얻기 위해 일정구간 범위내의 학습 데이터를 대상으로 질의지점의 거리에 따라 가중값을 달리 부여하여 학습 한 결과로 얻은 짧은 구간내의 회귀식이다. 본 연구는 메모리 기반학습의 형태에 해당하는 LWR을 위한 점진적 앙상블 학습과정을 제안한다. LWR를 위한 본 연구의 점진적 앙상블 학습법은 유전알고리즘을 이용하여 시간에 따라 LWR모델들을 순차적으로 생성하고 통합하는 것이다. 기존의 LWR 한계는 인디케이터 함수와 학습 데이터의 선택에 따라 다중의 LWR모델이 생성될 수 있으며 이 모델에 따라 예측 해의 질도 달라질 수 있다. 하지만 다중의 LWR 모델의 선택이나 결합의 문제 해결을 위한 연구가 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 인디케이터 함수와 학습 데이터에 따라 초기 LWR 모델을 생성한 후 진화 학습 과정을 반복하여 적절한 인디케이터 함수를 선택하며 또한 다른 학습 데이터에 적용한 LWR 모델의 평가와 개선을 통하여 학습 데이터로 인한 편향을 극복하고자 한다. 모든 구간에 대해 데이터가 발생 되면 점진적으로 LWR모델을 생성하여 보관하는 열심학습(Eager learning)방식을 취하고 있다. 특정 시점에 예측의 해를 얻기 위해 일정구간 내에 신규로 발생된 데이터들을 기반으로 LWR모델을 생성한 후 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 구간 내의 기존 LWR모델들과 결합하는 방식이다. 제안하는 학습방법은 기존 단순평균법을 이용한 다중 LWR모델들의 선택방법 보다 적합도 평가에서 우수한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 특정지역의 시간 별 교통량, 고속도로 휴게소의 시간별 매출액 등의 실제 데이터를 적용하여 본 연구의 LWR에 의한 결과들의 연결된 패턴과 다중회귀분석을 이용한 예측결과를 비교하고 있다.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is a wireless frequency of recognition technology that can be used to recognize, trace, and identify people, things, and animals using radio frequency(RF). RFID will bring about many changes in manufacturing and distributions, among other areas. In accordance with the increasing importance of RFID techniques, great advancement has been made in RFID studies. Initially, the RFID research started as a research literature or case study. Recently, empirical research has floated on the surface for announcement. But most of the existing researches on RFID adoption have been restricted to a dichotomous measure of 'adoption vs. non-adoption' or adoption intention. In short, RFID research is still at an initial stage, mainly focusing on the research of the RFID performance, integration, and its usage has been considered dismissive. The purpose of this study is to investigate which factors are important for the RFID adoption and implementation with organizational resources. In this study, the organizational resources are classified into either finance resources or IT knowledge resources. A research model and four hypotheses are set up to identify the relationships among these variables based on the investigations of such theories as technological innovations, adoption stage, and organizational resources. In order to conduct this study, a survey was carried out from September 27, 2008 until October 23, 2008. The questionnaire was completed by 143 managers and workers from physical distribution and manufacturing companies related to the RFID in South Korea. 37 out of 180 surveys, which turned out unfit for the study, were discarded and the remaining 143(adoption stage 89, implementation stage 54) were used for the empirical study. The statistics were analyzed using Excel 2003 and SPSS 12.0. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the adoption stage shows that perceived benefits, standardization, perceived cost savings, environmental uncertainty, and pressures from rival firms have significant effects on the intent of the RFID adoption. Further, the implementation stage shows that perceived benefits, standardization, environmental uncertainty, pressures from rival firms, inter-organizational cooperation, and inter-organizational trust have significant effects on the extent of the RFID use. In contrast, inter-organizational cooperation and inter-organizational trust did not show much impact on the intent of RFID adoption while perceived cost savings did not significantly affect the extent of RFID use. Second, in the adoption stage, financial issues had adverse effect on both inter-organizational cooperation and the intent against the RFID adoption. IT knowledge resources also had a deterring effect on both perceived cost savings and the extent of the RFID adoption. Third, in the implementation stage, finance resources had a moderate effect on environmental uncertainty and extent of RFID use while IT knowledge resources had also a moderate effect on perceived cost savings and the extent of the RFID use. Limitations and future research issues can be summarized as follows. First, it is difficult to say that the sample is large enough to be representative of the population. Second, because the sample of this study was conducted among manufacturers only, it may be limited in analyzing fully the effect on the industry as a whole. Third, in consideration of the fact that the organizational resources in the RFID study require a great deal of researches, this research may deem insufficient to fulfill the purpose that it initially set out to achieve. Future studies using performance research are, therefore, needed to help better understand the organizational level of the RFID adoption and implementation.

골밀도의 질 관리는 검사를 시행하는 방사선사들의 책임과 의무이다. 하지만 질 관리의 이해 부족과 방법의 무지로 인한 잘못된 결과는 환자에게 치명적인 오류를 범할 수 있다. 따라서 이 논문은 올바른 질 관리의 이해와 방법을 기술하여 검사자 및 환자, 의뢰의사에게 골밀도 검사의 신뢰성을 확보하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이중 에너지 엑스선 골밀도 기기(dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, DXA)는 골밀도 측정은 정확도와 정밀도가 우수하여야 작은 골량의 변화에도 진정한 생물학적 변화를 알 수 있다. 따라서 정확도와 정밀도를 높이기 위한 수단으로 장비 및 검사자의 올바른 질 관리가 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다. 올바른 장비관리방법은 매일 아침 장비 보정 질 관리 후 제조사에서 권고하는 팬텀을 이용하여 10~25회 측정하여 평균값을 구하고 이를 기준으로 허용 범위(${\pm}1.5%$)를 지정한다. 팬텀의 측정은 검사가 있는 날에 매일 측정하거나 일주일에 3회 이상 측정하여 실제 골밀도의 값의 변화 유무를 확인하여야 한다. 또한 측정된 팬텀의 골밀도수치를 기록 한 Shewart control chart를 Rule에 따라 평가한다. 이러한 관리는 장비의 설치 및 이동 시에 반드시 행해져야 한다. 검사자 관리방법은 정밀도 측정으로 평가하는데 정밀도는 재검사하였을 때에 실제 생물학적 변화 없이 수치상의 결과 값을 똑같이 재현될 수 있는지 알아보는 것이다. 측정 방법은 골밀도 검사를 진행하면서 환자를 두번씩 30번 측정하는 방법과 세번씩 15번 측정하는 방법이 있다. 측정에서 중요한 것은 한 번 검사 후 두번째나 세번째 검사에서도 반드시 검사 테이블에서 내려왔다 다시 올라가서 검사를 해야 한다. 측정된 골밀도수치로 정밀오차를 산출하고 95% 신뢰수준으로 정밀오차에 2.77을 곱하여 최소한의 생물학적 골밀도 변화를 산출한다. 산출된 값을 최소한의 의미있는 변화라고 표현하며 이 값을 넘어섰을 경우가 진정한 생물학적 변화구간이라고 할 수 있다. 검사자의 정도관리는 처음 검사를 시작하는 경우와 장비의 이동 및 교체 시에 반드시 행해져야하며 지속적으로 이루어져야 한다. 골밀도 검사를 시행하는 방사선사의 올바른 질 관리의 수행은 장비의 수명 연장과 정확한 결과의 산출로 이어져 검사의 신뢰성 확보와 환자 및 방사선사에게 부적절한 검사로 인한 방사능 노출의 최소화에 도움을 줄 것이다.
