Aneurysms arising from the ophthalmic artery itself are very rare compared with aneurysms originating from the bifurcation of the ophthalmic artery and carotid artery. There was only one reported case of a ruptured aneurysm of the ophthalmic artery itself. We discuss clinical significance of an aneurysm at this site, as well as the role of three dimentional image of multislice computed tomography angiogram[3D-image of MCTA] in determining the cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage[SAH].

Objective : We evaluate the role of multislice computerized tomographic angiography[MCTA] in the diagnosis of intracranial vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage[SAH] in patients suspected of having vasospasm on clinical ground. Methods : Between October 2003 and June 2005, patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysms of the anterior circulation clipped within 3 days of the onset were included. We performed follow-up MCTAs in patients who were suspected to have vasospasm on transcranial doppler sonography[TCD] findings and clinical grounds. Based on the clinical presentation of symptomatic vasospasm, we investigated the correlation between clinical, TCD, and MCTA signs of vasospasm and evaluated the role of MCTA in vasospasm. Results : One hundred one patients met the inclusion criteria and symptomatic vasospasm developed in 25 patients [24.8%]. We performed follow-up MCTAs in 28 patients. MCTA revealed spasm in the vessels of 26 patients. The sensitivity of MCTA was 100%. Among the 26 patients with MCTA evidence of vasospasm, 3 patients had TCD signs of vasospasm after symptomatic vasospasm presentation. Another 3 patients with symptomatic vasospasm had no TCD signs of vasospasm in daily serial recordings. Six other patients without symptomatic vasospasm showed MCTA evidence of vasospasm [false positive result] but these patients had also positive TCD signs of vasospasm. Volume rendering[VR] images tended to show significantly more exaggerated vasospasm than maximum intensity projection[MIP] images. The mean cerebral blood flow velocity of both proximal segment of the middle cerebral artery [M1] was significantly correlated with each reduced M1 diameter on MCTA [P<005]. Conclusion : MCTA could be a useful tool for evaluation and planning management of critically ill patients suspected of having vasospasm; however, more randomized controlled trials are necessary to assess these points definitively.

Objective : We evaluated the accuracy of multislice computerized tomographic angiography (MCTA) in the postoperative evaluation of clipped aneurysms by comparising it with three dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D-DSA). Methods : Between May 2004 and September 2006, we included patients with ruptured cerebral aneurysm of the anterior circulation that was surgically clipped and evaluated by both postoperative MCTA and postoperative 3D-DSA. We measured the diagnostic performance and calculated the sensitivity and specificity of postoperative MCTA compared to 3D-DSA in the detection of aneurysm remnants. Results : A total of 11 neck remnants among the 92 clipped aneurysms (11.9%) were confirmed by 3D-DSA. According to Sindou's classification of aneurysm remnants, 8.7% of clipped aneurysms (8/92) had only neck remnant on 3D-DSA and 3.2% (3/92 aneurysms) had residuum of the neck and sac on 3D-DSA. There were 12 (13.04%) equivocal cases that were difficult to interpret based on the postoperative MCTA. The reasons for the equivocal cases included multiple clips (6 cases, 50.0%). beam-hardening effect (4 cases, 33.3%), motion artifact (1 case, 8.3%), fenestrated clip (1 case, 8.3%) and other combined causes. The sensitivity and specificity of the postoperative MCTA was 81.8% and 88.9%, respectively by ROC curve (p=0.000). Conclusion : MCTA is an accurate noninvasive imaging method used for the assessment of clipped aneurysms in the anterior circulation. If the image quality of postoperative MCTA is good quality and the patient has been treated with a single titanium clip, except a fenestrated clip, the absence of an aneurysm remnant can be diagnosed by MCTA alone and the need for postoperative DSA can be reduced in a large percentage of cases.

열분해 현상을 겪는 고분자 복합재료의 내부에서는 기공이 형성되며, 이는 열기계적 거동에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기공이 형성된 복합재료의 분층형 삼차원 유한요소 모델을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 기공 탄성 및 파손 해석을 수행하였다. 유한요소 모델의 삼차원 확장 효과와 기공이 복합재료 내부에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위하여 분층수와 기공도에 따른 분층형 유한요소 모델을 사용하였다. 해석 결과로서 유효 탄성 계수 및 기공 탄성 계수는 기공도가 0.5까지 증가함에 따라 최대 74.0%, 442.1%, 분층 수가 5까지 증가함에 따라 최대 98.7%, 37.2% 차이를 보였다. 또한, 초기 및 최종 파손 강도는 기공도에 따라 최대 88.2%, 90.0%, 분층에 따라 최대 87.5%, 171.8%까지 감소함을 확인하였다.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of simultaneous multislice-accelerated diffusion-weighted imaging (SMS-DWI) of the rectum in comparison with conventional DWI (C-DWI) in rectal cancer patients. Materials and Methods: This study included 65 patients with initially-diagnosed rectal cancer. All patients underwent C-DWI and SMS-DWI with acceleration factors of 2 and 3 (SMS2-DWI and SMS3-DWI, respectively) using a 3T scanner. Acquisition times of the three DWI sequences were measured. Image quality in the three DWI sequences was reviewed by two independent radiologists using a 4-point Likert scale and subsequently compared using the Friedman test. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values for rectal cancer and the normal rectal wall were compared among the three sequences using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: Acquisition times using C-DWI, SMS2-DWI, and SMS3-DWI were 173 seconds, 107 seconds, (38.2% shorter than C-DWI), and 77 seconds (55.5% shorter than C-DWI), respectively. For all image quality parameters other than distortion (margin sharpness, artifact, lesion conspicuity, and overall image quality), C-DWI and SMS2-DWI yielded better results than did SMS3-DWI (Ps < 0.001), with no significant differences observed between C-DWI and SMS2-DWI (Ps ≥ 0.054). ADC values of rectal cancer (p = 0.943) and normal rectal wall (p = 0.360) were not significantly different among C-DWI, SMS2-DWI, and SMS3-DWI. Conclusion: SMS-DWI using an acceleration factor of 2 is feasible for rectal MRI resulting in substantial reductions in acquisition time while maintaining diagnostic image quality and similar ADC values to those of C-DWI.

(001) GaAs 기판 위에 성장된 (ZnSe/FeSe) 초격자의 구성층 사이에 상호확산으로 형성된 $Zn_{1-x}Fe_xSe$ 의 미세구조가 고분해능 투과전자현미경과 컴퓨터 이미지 시뮬레이션에 의해 연구되었다. 컴퓨터 이미지 시뮬레이션은 multislice 방법으로 여러 시편 두께와 초점 거리에서 실시되었다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의해 얻은 이미지는 실험에 의해 얻은 이미지와 비교되었다. 또한, CuAu-I 형태 규칙화가 $Zn_{1-x}Fe_xSe$ 상호화산층에서 일어났다. 이 CuAu-I 형태 규칙격자는 <100>과 <110> 방향에 따라서 ZnSe와 FeSe 층이 교대로 구성되어 있다.

Components derived from an infected lesion within the bone can spread through various passages in the mandible, particularly via the mental foramen. Radiologically, the spread of infection is typically nonspecific and challenging to characterize; however, multislice computed tomography (MSCT) can effectively detect pathological changes in soft tissues and the bone marrow space. This report describes the case of a 55-year-old woman who experienced mental nerve paresthesia due to a periapical infection of the right mandibular second premolar. MSCT imaging revealed increased attenuation around the periapical lesion extending into the mandibular canal and loss of the juxta-mental foraminal fat pad. Following endodontic treatment of the tooth suspected to be the source of the infection, the patient's symptoms resolved, and the previous MSCT imaging findings were no longer present. Increased bone marrow attenuation and obliteration of the fat plane in the buccal aspect of the mental foramen may serve as radiologic indicators of inflammation spreading from the bone marrow space.

[ $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3$ ] (PMN) 고용체의 고분해능 격자 이미지에 있어서 장거리 규칙도의 의존성을 컴퓨터 이미지 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 연구하였다. 컴퓨터 이미지 시뮬레이션은 multislice 방법으로 시편 두께, 초점 거리, 장거리 규칙도를 변화시켜 실시하였다. PMN에 있어서, 규칙격자 구조를 가지는 격자 이미지는 장거리 규칙도에 주로 의존하는 것을 발견하였다. 완전한 규칙격자 구조를 가지는 이미지는 유사 육방정 형태를 보였다 장거리 규칙도가 감소함에 따라, 유사 육방정 형태로부터 직사각형 형태로 변화되었고, 완전한 불규칙격자 구조를 가지는 이미지는 직사각형 형태를 보였다. 또한, 한 주어진 장거리 규칙도에서 시뮬레이션으로 얻은 이미지는 B-위치 양이온의 함량에 관계없이 거의 동일하였다.
