본 연구에서는 종양이 간원개에 위치한 환자들을 대상으로 Eclipse 치료계획시스템(treatment planning system V8.9 : TPS, Varian)에서 쓰이는 두 종류의 선량계산 알고리즘(pencil beam convolution : PBC, anisotropic Analytical algorithm : AAA)들을 적용하여 육안적종양체적(gross tumor volume : GTV), 내부표적체적(internal target volume : ITV), 계획용표적체적(planning target volume : PTV) 및 주요 관심장기에 전달되는 선량의 변화를 정량적으로 평가하고, 선량분포에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들을 분석하고자 하였다. 본원에서 치료받은 간암환자 20명을 대상으로 하였고 그 중 10명의 환자들에 대해서는 정위적 방사선치료(stereotactic body radiation therapy : SBRT) 기술을 적용, 다른 10명의 환자들에 대해서는 3차원 입체조형 방사선치료(three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy : 3DCRT) 기술을 적용하여 치료하였다. 조사선량은 우선적으로 PBC 알고리즘을 적용하여 선량계산을 하였고 동일한 빔 정렬 및 콜리메이터(Collimator), Monitor Unit (MU) 그리고 Field 가중치를 적용시켜서 AAA 선량계산법으로 다시 계산 한 후, 두 알고리즘에 대한 처방선량 100%에 해당하는 체적(V100)의 lesion coverage factor (CVF) 들을 비교하였다. SBRT 기술을 이용한 환자들의 치료계획에서 전체 PTV에 대한 CVF의 경우, 두 선량계산 알고리즘사이 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계(p=0.018)를 보였다. 또한, 3DCRT 기술을 이용한 환자들의 치료계획에서는 전체 PTV (p=0.006), 간원개에 위치한 PTV (p=0.013), 전체 ITV (p=0.024)에 대하여 각각 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 복부에 위치한 주요 관심장기에 대하여 SBRT 기술을 이용한 환자들의 치료계획에서 정상 간과 신장에 조사되는 최대선량에 대하여 통계학적으로 각각 유의한 상관관계(정상간: p=0.009, 신장: p=0.037)를 보였다. 본 연구에서 선택한 선량변화 예측인자들에 대하여 대응표본 T-검정(paired T-test)을 시행한 결과, 전체 PTV에 대한 간원개에만 위치하는 PTV의 비율($PTV_{dome}$/PTV)과 두 알고리즘에 의한 CVF 비율의 상관관계에 있어서 통계학적으로 유의미한 상관관계를 보였다(p<0.01). 또한, 종양의 크기에 대한 두 알고리즘의 CVF 비율에 있어서 통계학적으로 의미가 있는 상관관계를 보였다(SRS환자 p=0.017, 3DCRT환자 p=0.023). 본 연구에서는 15MV x-ray beam으로 선량을 계산할 때 PBC와 AAA간의 선량계산 차이를 분석하여 선택한 선량변화 예측인자 중 간원개에 위치한 종양의 크기와 계획용 표적체적에 대한 관계성을 알아내었다. 일반적으로 15MV x-ray beam에 의한 선량분포를 정확하게 알아내는 것은 AAA으로도 불충분하다는 것이 일반적인 사실로 받아들여지고 있어 이를 AAA와 PBC간의 차이로 그 정확성을 간접적으로 유추하여 실질적인 선량분포에 대한 치료계획단계에서의 선량분포의 차이의 경향성을 보고자 하였다.

A new stereoscopic PIV is introduced. The system works with CCD cameras, stereoscopic photogrammetry, and a 3D-PTV principle. Virtual images are produced for the construction of a benchmark testing tool of PIV techniques. The arrangement of the two cameras is based on angular position. The calibration of cameras and the pair-matching of the three-dimensional velocity vectors are based on 3D-PTV technique.

Due to advances in digital image processing, computer and optical hardware, it is possible to extract full flow information from visualized flow images. Recently, the PIV/PTV methods have been accepted as a reliable velocity field measurement technique. In my laboratory, several velocity field measurement techniques have been developed and they were applied to various thermo-fluid flow problems. In this paper, some of the industrial applications will be discussed. As a result, the PIV/PTV technique was proved to be a powerful tool for industrial fluid flow diagnosis.

Instantaneous velocity distribution within coaxial circular pipe for measurement velocity of high speed is acquired simultaneously by applying the 2-dimensional PTV system consisting of a pulse generator(AOM:Acousto-Optical Modulator), a continuous-output laser and a PC image grabber together with experimental apparatus. The basic mechanism of AOM and vector identification method and performance-related image processing techniques are discussed. Representative measuring regions $90{\times}90$mm are selected and instantaneous vectors are represented and fully developed turbulent flow of maximum velocity up to about 1.0 m/sec is obtained.

The digital HPTV velocity field measurement consists of four steps: recording, numerical reconstruction, particle extraction and velocity extraction. In the velocity extraction process, we improved PTV algorithm to extract the displacement of particle each placed in 3D space. Because a digital recording device was used, some factors such as a spatial resolution, numerical aperture, and particle concentration can affect the performance of the digital HPTV. Especially, a particle concentration ($C_{o}$) affected tile reconstruction efficiency in numerical reconstruction and particle extraction process. In this paper, the reconstruction efficiency was analyzed experimentally with different particle concentration. Optimal reconstruction efficiency was shown in the range of $C_{o}$=$13\∼15$ particles/$mm^{3}$.

Micro-PIV is a well-known method for measurement of two- dimensional, two-component velocity in the microfluidic devices. Lots of the micro fluidic devices generate three-dimensional flow and 3D measurement of velocity is helpful to understand the physics of micro flow phenomena. In this study, we developed new micro 3D measurement method by applying 2-frame PTV in stereoscopic micro system. In this study, we did the validation study of SMPTV by using the simulated flow model to verify the accuracy and the feasibility of measurement and compared with SMPIV method. The results showed that SMPTV provides better spatial resolution and measurement accuracy than SMPIV method.

Turbulent properties of the wake of a circular cylinder were measured The diameter of the cylinder is l0mm and the Reynolds number is 420. A new 3D-PTY system was constructed and a genetic algorithm (GA) was introduced in order to increase the number of instantaneous three-dimensional velocity vectors. In the GA two fitness functions were introduced in order to enhance the correspondences of the particles. The measurement system consists of three CCD cameras, Ar-ion laser, an image grabber and a host computer. More than 3000 instantaneous three-dimensional velocity vectors were obtained by the system. The database of the turbulent properties of the circular cylinder was constructed by the constructed 3D-PTV system.

In Particle Tracking Velocimetry, the analysis of double-exposed photographic plate can be carried out either by means of Young's fringe analysis or by a digital image processing technique. In this study, we used digital image processing to two images in one frame far analyzing in-cylinder flow fields, and compared PTV with PSV(Particle Streak Velocimetry). Additionally, this technique was verified by two different calibration method. One is interpolation by invert distance, the other is interpolation by area ratio. Finally, the results between two interpolation methods were similar in whole flow fields.

Analysis and control of intake charge motion such as swirl and tumble are very important to improve the performance of gasoline engines. In this paper, single frame double exposure PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) is used to investigate intake flow characteristic in a steady flow test rig of gasoline engine with 2-valve and pent-roof combustion chamber. To validate this PTV method, we confirmed reliability of this PTV method using chopper, and coaxial burner experiments. The velocity Held of intake flow is measured with the intake valve lift variation. It is shown that maximum flow velocity is increased and tumble flow become stronger than inverse tumble flow as valve lift increase.
