뇌의 전기적 신경활동을 측정하는 뇌전도(EEG)는 저렴하게 취득할 수 있고 높은 시간 해상도를 갖는 반면 공간적 정보를 제공하지는 않는다. 기능적 자기공명영상(fMRI)은 혈류변화를 감지하여 뇌활동을 측정하는 방식으로서 높은 공간 분해능을 갖지만 고가의 비용과 설비를 요구한다. 최근 저렴하게 취득할 수 있는 EEG 데이터로부터 딥러닝을 사용하여 fMRI 합성영상을 생성하는 기술이 제안되었지만, 저주파수 대역에서 EEG와 fMRI 간의 뇌과학적 상관관계를 반영하지는 않는다. 본 연구에서는 휴식상태에서 취득된 EEG 데이터를 스펙트로그램으로 변환한 후 저주파수 특성을 사용하여 fMRI 합성영상을 생성하는 U-net 기반의 크로스 모달리티 변환 모델의 실현가능성을 평가하였다.

Purpose: To evaluate differences in staging accuracy of prostate cancer according to the extent of hemorrhage on multiparametric MRI performed after biopsy. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 71 consecutive patients with biopsy-proven prostate cancer. Patients underwent MRI followed by a prostatectomy at our institution in 2014. Two radiologists reviewed the MRI to determine the tumor stage. Correlation between biopsy-MRI interval and extent of hemorrhage was evaluated. Regression analyses were used to determine factors associated with accuracy of tumor staging. Results: The mean interval between biopsy and MRI was $17.4{\pm}10.2days$ (range, 0-73 days). The interval between prostate biopsy and MRI and the extent of hemorrhage were not significantly correlated (P = 0.880). There was no significant difference in the accuracy rate of staging between the small and large hemorrhage groups. Conclusion: Biopsy-induced hemorrhage in the prostate gland is not sufficiently absorbed over time. The extent of hemorrhage and the short interval between biopsy and MRI may not impair tumor detection or staging on multiparametric MRI.

Objective : Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has proven useful in the study of the natural history of ischemic stroke. However, the potential of DW-MRI for the evaluation of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) has not been established. In this study, we investigated DW-MRI findings of CSDH and evaluated the impact of the image findings on postoperative outcomes of CSDH. Methods : We studied 131 CSDH patients who had undergone single burr hole drainage surgery. The images of the subdural hematomas on preoperative DW-MRI and computed tomography (CT) were divided into three groups based on their signal intensity and density : 1) homogeneous (iso or low) density on CT and homogeneous low signal intensity on DW-MRI; 2) homogeneous (iso or low) density on CT and mixed signal intensity on DW-MRI; and 3) heterogeneous density on CT and mixed signal intensity on DW-MRI. On the basis of postoperative CT, we also divided the patients into 3 groups of surgical outcomes according to residual hematoma and mass effect. Results : Analysis showed statistically significant differences in surgical (A to B : p<0.001, A to C : p<0.001, B to C : p=0.129) and functional (A to B : p=0.039, A to C : p<0.001, B to C : p=0.108) outcomes and treatment failure rates (A to B : p=0.037, A to C : p=0.03, B to C : p=1) between the study groups. In particular, group B and group C showed worse outcomes and higher treatment failure rates than group A. Conclusion : CSDH with homogeneous density on CT was characterized by signal intensity on DW-MRI. In CSDH patients, performing DW-MRI as well as CT helps to predict postoperative treatment failure or complications.

본 연구의 목적은 담요 제공이 Brain MRI 검사를 받는 환자들에게 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 연구대상은 G시에 소재한 일 대학병원에서 Brain MRI 검사를 받는 52명의 환자였다. 실험군(n=26)은 검사 전에 담요를 제공받았다. 자료는 2015년 3월부터 12월까지 수집되었으며, chi-squared test, the independent t-test, repeated measures ANOVA를 이용하여 분석되었다. STAI로 측정된 불안은 두 집단 간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 시각적상사척도로 측정된 불안 정도는 실험군에서 유의하게 감소되었다(t=-2.75, p=.008). 혈압과 맥박에서는 실험군과 대조군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 따라서 추후에는 Brain MRI 검사를 받는 환자의 불안 정도를 경감시켜줄 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.

본 연구에서는 화상평면내 미지 호흡운동에 의한 MRI 아티팩트를 수정하기 위한 개선된 후처리 기법을 제안한다. 호흡운동은 2차원의 선형확대축소 운동으로 모델화 된다 신체조직을 비압축성 유체모양의 물질로 가정할 때 촬상 대상물체에 대한 단위체적당 푸로톤 밀도는 일정하다고 가정한다. 적용한 모델에 의하면 호흡운동은 위상오차와 불균일 표본화 및 진폭변조왜를 MRI 데이터에 부여한다. 운동파라메타가 알려져 있거나 추정가능하다고 할 때 양선형 중첩법에 기초한 재구성 알고리즘이 MRI 아티팩트를 수정하기 위해 사용된다. 운동 파라메타가 미지인 경우 스펙트럼 이동법을 적용해서 호흡변동함수와 x 방향 확대계수 및 x 방향 확대중심을 추정한다. 다음으로 에너지 최소법을 이용해서 y 방향 확대계수 및 y 방향 확대중심을 추정한다. 최종적으로 시뮬레이션된 체동화상을 통해서 제안한 본 방법의 유효성을 확인한다.

Objectives : To analyze the therapeutic outcomes of back pain modalities in patients with disc herniation according to the change of Magnetic Resonanse Imaging(MRI) whom were treated with herbal medicine, chuna, acupuncture, bee-venom acupuncture. Methods : Clinical outcomes of 35 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation by MRI examination, treated conservatively, were analyzed according to MRI follow-up change. Patients underwent MRI examaintion at baseline and after 24th week of treatment. Patients are divided into three groups ; improved, unchanged, worsened. 35 patients with lumbar disc herniation were treated with chuna therapy, acupuncture, bee-venom acupuncture once a week and took herbal medicine after a meal two times daily. The patients' clinical outcomes were assessed at baseline, 12th week, 24th week by Visual analogue scale(VAS), Oswestry disability index(ODI). Results : 1. MRI follow-up exams on regression of disc herniation resulted on 42.86% of cases by conservative treatment. 2. VAS(low back pain and sciatica) and ODI of disability of daily activities showed significant decrease in "improved" and "unchanged" groups compared to "worsened" group(P<0.05). 3. VAS(low back pain and sciatica) and ODI change after treatment did not show any relationship with MRI follow-up change(P<0.05). Conclusions : This study suggests that "improved" and "unchanged" groups compared to "worsened" group on MRI follow-up in patients with lumbar disc herniation were more effective when treated with herbal medicine, chuna therapy, acupuncture, bee-venom acupuncture. MRI follow-up change does not affect clinical changes in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Purpose: The present study was conducted in order to examine claustrophobia, noise sensitivity and vital signs according to anxiety sensitivity level in patients who have Magnet Resonance Imaging(MRI). Methods: With 100 outpatients, we measured anxiety sensitivity, claustrophobia, noise sensitivity and vital sign before and after MRI. Measuring tools were ASI, CLQ-M, and NSI. Data were collected from February to March, 2008. Results: The ASI score was higher in women than in men(p < .05), and no statistically significant difference was observed according to age, region of scanning, experience in MRI, and the use of contrast agent. Both men and women patients showed the same ASI score and decrease in CLQ M and NSI between before and after MRI. In women, ASI, CLQ M and NSI were in positive correlation with one another(p < .001), and in men, there was no correlation between ASI and CLQ M, and positive correlation was observed with NSI(p < .05). In comparison according to ASI level, blood pressure and pulse rate were not different in men and women. CLQ M was not different in men, but was different in women(p < .001). NSI was different in both men and women(men p < .05; women p < .001). Conclusion: MRI may cause claustrophobia in patients with high anxiety sensitivity, and noise appears to aggravate anxiety. In particular, claustrophobia was more serious in women than in men. Therefore, it is necessary to develop nursing interventions to reduce anxiety sensitivity particularly for female patients, and to make plans to educate and lower noise before MRI in order to reduce claustrophobia.

The purpose of this study was to compare Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT with MRI after acute and subacute closed-head injury. There were thirty two focal lesions in all cases of these. Fifteen lesions(47%) were seen on both MRI and SPECT. Fourteen lesions(44%) were seen only on MRI. Three lesions(9%) were seen only on SPECT. Of the 14 lesions seen only on MRI, one was epidural hematoma, two were subdural hematoma, three were subdural hygroma, one was intracerebral hematoma, four were contusion, and three were diffuse axonal injuries. SPECT detected 52% of the focal lesions found on MRI. For the detection of lesions, MRI was superior to SPECT in fourteen cases, while SPECT was superior to MRI in three cases. In conclusion, there was a tendency that detection rate of the traumatic lesions was higher on MRI, but the SPECT could delineate more wide extent of lesion.

본 논문은 MR 머리 영상 데이타를 디렉트 볼륨 렌더링하는 방법을 제안한다. MR 영상을 가시화하기 위해서는 서피스 렌더링을 많이 사용하나 이 방법은 면을 추출하는 과정에서 면 내부의 정보를 잃어버린다. 디렉트 볼륨 렌더링은 면 내부의 정보를 추출 할 수 있으나 데이타의 특성상 MR 머리 영상 데이타에 이 방법을 적용하기가 쉽지 않다. 이 논문에서는 MR 머리 영상 데이타를 뇌와 뇌 이외의 구성 요소로 분할한 다음에 뇌 복셀값을 증가시키고 원래의 영상과 다시 결합시켜 디렉트 볼륨 렌더링을 시도하였다. 뇌 경계선은 히스토그램 경계값, 모포로지 연산, 스네이크 알고리즘(snakes algorithm)을 이용하여 추출하였다. 추출된 뇌 경계선는 육안으로 추출한 것의 91~95%의 유사도를 보인다. 제안된 디렉트 볼륨 렌더링은 뇌와 뇌 이외의 구성 요소를 동시에 3차원 가시화하였다.
