Purpose : The simulation-based training in this research consists of theory and practice. Before the training, target students took a test on the competence of basic life support. Based on the result, they were separated as the subject group and comparison group. The simulation-based training was offered to the subject group and the traditional training was given to the comparison group. As soon as the training was completed, a follow-up study was conducted. Methods : This research aimed to figure out the effect of the simulation-based training on the competence of basic life support of the students Emergency Medical Technology. To this end, the nonequivalent pretest-posttest-quasi-experimental design using a comparison group was conducted. Results : The first hypothesis was that 'The group who took the simulation-based training would show higher points in the knowledge of basic life support than the group who took the traditional training.' Among those who took prior theory education, the subject group showed $69.38{\pm}20.43$ points while the comparison group showed $76.25{\pm}21.33$ points(t = -0.658, p = 0.531). Among those who took prior theory education and training, the subject group showed $82.86{\pm}10.86$ points while the comparison group showed $79.33{\pm}15.45$ points(t = 0.705, p = 0.487). Since there were no significant statistical differences between the two groups, the first hypothesis didn't hold. It showed few differences between the two training methods. The second hypothesis was that 'The group who took the simulation-based training would show higher points in the basic life support skills than the group who took the traditional training.' Among those who took prior theory education, the subject group showed $65.75{\pm}7.66$ points while the comparison group showed $46.88{\pm}13.48$ points(t = -3.442, p = 0.004). Among those who took prior theory education and training, the subject group showed $79.50{\pm}11.40$ points while the comparison group showed $62.13{\pm}11.44$ points(t = 4.091, p = 0.000). Since there were significant statistical differences between the two groups, the second hypothesis held. It showed substantial differences between the two training methods. Conclusion : The group who took the simulation-based training showed more positive effects on the competence of basic life support than those who took the traditional training. Therefore, it is confirmed that the simulation-based training is a useful method to improve clinical work performance of the students Emergency Medical Technology.

공차란 각 부품들이 기구적으로 조립되었을 때 원하는 수준의 기능성을 확보할 수 있도록 각 부품의 기하학적 형상이나 위치에 대해 허용하는 치수의 변동량을 의미한다. 또한 공차해석이란 부품들이 조립되었을 때, 각 부품의 공차가 조립품에서 어떻게 누적되어 미치는 영향을 분석하는 일련의 절차를 의미한다. 만일 누적된 공차의 분산이 규정된 일정 수준의 범위를 벗어나면 조립품의 품질에 문제가 발생하기 때문에 당초 설정한 부품의 공차를 수정해야 하며, 이러한 과정을 공차설계라고 한다. 이 논문에서는 휴대용 의료기기의 설계단계에서 공차해석과 공차설계를 위해 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 기법을 활용한 사례를 소개한다. 이러한 시뮬레이션 연구를 통하여 제품의 조립성과 기능성을 개선시킬 수 있다.

In the present study, a fibular osteotomy guide based on a computer simulation was applied to a patient who had undergone mandibular segmental ostectomy due to oncological complications. This patient was a 68-year-old woman who presented to our department with a biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma on her left gingival area. This lesion had destroyed the cortical bony structure, and the patient showed attenuation of her soft tissue along the inferior alveolar nerve, indicating perineural spread of the tumor. Prior to surgery, a three-dimensional computed tomography scan of the facial and fibular bones was performed. We then created a virtual computer simulation of the mandibular segmental defect through which we segmented the fibular to reconstruct the proper angulation in the original mandible. Approximately 2-cm segments were created on the basis of this simulation and applied to the virtually simulated mandibular segmental defect. Thus, we obtained a virtual model of the ideal mandibular reconstruction for this patient with a fibular free flap. We could then use this computer simulation for the subsequent surgery and minimize the bony gaps between the multiple fibular bony segments.

Image registration is the process for finding the correct geometrical transformation that brings one image in precise spatial correspondence with another image. There are limitations on the visualization of simple overlay between two different modality images because two different modality images have different anatomical information, resolution, and viewpoint. In this paper, various image registration methods and their applications are introduced. With the recent advance of medical imaging device, image registration is used actively in diagnosis support, treatment planning, surgery guidance and monitoring the disease progression.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the continuous effect of advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) simulation education according to Felder-Silverman learning style. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 94 students of emergency medical technology and nursing. There were 50 female students (53.2%) and 88 students (93.6%) had basic life support certification. The study instruments included knowledge, performance, and confidence. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20.0. Results: The learning style consisted of reflective type (51.1%), sensory type (76.6%), visual type (63.8%), and sequential type (64.9%). There was a significant difference in continuous effect on performance by learning type. Conclusion: It is necessary to identify the learning style of students before simulation education in order to maintain continuous effect of ACLS education.

In this study, it was investigated about optical simulation in direct-type backlight design. Direct-type backlight has been used high-brightness backlight such as medical LCD application. The key parameter in designing direct-type backlight was consists of three geometrical dimension such as the distance of two lamps, the gap of lamp and reflection plate and the number of lamps. It has many of variations in optical design and it causes the different properties in backlight system. It shows the best values of above parameters; 26 mm of the distance of two lamps, 4.5 mm of the gap of lamp and reflection plate and 16 lamps. And we produced the specimen as above condition, and acquired good result in backlight such as the value of the brightness is 6423 nit in center of emission area and less than 5 % in brightness uniformity. It shows the effective ways of designing backlight system using optical simulation method for medical LCD application.

Purpose: A full-energy-peak (FEP) efficiency correction is required through a Monte Carlo simulation for accurate radioactivity measurement, considering the geometrical characteristics of the detector and the sample. However, a relative deviation (RD) occurs between the measurement and calculation efficiencies when modeling using the data provided by the manufacturers due to the randomly generated dead layer. This study aims to optimize the structure of the detector by determining the dead layer thickness based on Monte Carlo simulation. Methods: The high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector used in this study was a coaxial p-type GC2518 model, and a certified reference material (CRM) was used to measure the FEP efficiency. Using the MC N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP) code, the FEP efficiency was calculated by increasing the thickness of the outer and inner dead layer in proportion to the thickness of the electrode. Results: As the thickness of the outer and inner dead layer increased by 0.1 mm and 0.1 ㎛, the efficiency difference decreased by 2.43% on average up to 1.0 mm and 1.0 ㎛ and increased by 1.86% thereafter. Therefore, the structure of the detector was optimized by determining 1.0 mm and 1.0 ㎛ as thickness of the dead layer. Conclusions: The effect of the dead layer on the FEP efficiency was evaluated, and an excellent agreement between the measured and calculated efficiencies was confirmed with RDs of less than 4%. It suggests that the optimized HPGe detector can be used to measure the accurate radioactivity using in dismantling and disposing medical linear accelerators.

응급진료센터(Emergency Medical Center, EMC)는 질병, 분만, 각종 사고 및 재해로 인한 부상으로 즉시 응급처치를 받아야 하는 환자들을 위한 장소이다. 현재 대부분의 EMC는 정규병상으로만 응급환자를 수용하여 서비스할 수 없는 관계로 임시 병상을 운영하고 있으나, 응급환자 및 보호자의 서비스 질(quality of service, QoS) 향상과 EMC의 효율적인 운영을 위하여 임시병상 사용률을 낮추는 개선이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 임시병상 개수를 줄이면서도 응급환자의 체류시간이 증가하지 않는 개선안을 실행에 옮기는데 필요한 의사결정 정보를 응급의료학과에 제공하고자 한다. EMC 환자가 응급진료를 받는 시간보다 타부서 전문의와의 협의진료 시간과 다른 병동 입원 대기시간의 과다가 QoS 저하와 임시병상 투입의 주요 원인이 되고 있으므로 이들을 제어하는 것이 핵심이라고 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 EMC를 잘 묘사하는 Arena 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안하고, EMC 최적 운영 파라미터 값들을 결정하는 실험 결과를 제시하고 있다. 최적화 모델을 시뮬레이션과 연동하여 실험을 하기 위하여 Arena에 탑재된 OptQuest를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 짧은 실행시간 안에 응급환자의 체류시간을 증가시키지 않으면서, 임시병상 개수를 줄일 수 있는 최적의 파라미터 셋을 얻을 수 있었다.
