  • The analysis of the radiation effect on matter has been performed using stochastic methods. Recently, It was discovered that the detector pulses of radiation can be analysed using deterministic method that utilizes the chaotic behaviour with an attractor found in a noise region. We acquired a time series for pulse tram of Am-241 using scintillation detector and reconstructed a phase space, then performed new analysis for the radiation detection signal by applying embedding theory, Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension, autocorrelation dimension, and power spectrum.

  • 최근에는 최첨단 방사선 의료장비들이 경쟁적으로 개발 되고 있어 환자 진료에 그 이용이 더욱 확대되고 있으며, 방사선을 이용한 검사가 날로 증가하고 있는 추세로, 이는 방사선 피폭을 증가시키는 중요한 요인으로 인식이 되어 가고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2007년 11월17일부터 2008년 4월 19일까지 경상북도에 있는 8개 2차, 3차 의료기관에서 산부인과 내원 환자 555명을 대상으로 방사선 피폭에 대한 인식도를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 방사선의 인식에서는 연령과 학력에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 방사선 장치의 인식은 연령과 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 정보 파악 분석에서도 연령과 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 방사선의 유해성과 인식, 심리상태, 피폭방지에 대하여 각각 상관관계 분석을 시행한 결과 유해성은 인식과 0.572, 심리상태와 0.740, 피폭방지와 0.477의 상관관계를 가지며 통계적으로 매우 유의한 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.01), 방사선 장치와 정보 파악과는 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>0.05). 본 연구 결과 방사선에 민감한 산부인과 내원 환자들의 입장에서 신체적 위협보다는 정신적인 위협요소가 더욱 더 많이 포함하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 방사선을 취급하고 관리 하는 방사선사는 환자나 보호자에게 방사선의 인체 유해 정도를 정확하게 인식 시켜 줄 필요성이 있다고 할 수 있다.

  • Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the change in the lumpectomy cavity volumes before and after whole breast radiation therapy (WBRT) and to identify factors associated with the change of volume. Materials and Methods: From September 2009 to April 2010, the computed tomography (CT) simulation data from 70 patients obtained before and after WBRT was evaluated. The lumpectomy cavity volumes were contoured based on surgical clips, seroma, and postoperative changes. Significant differences in the data from pre-WBRT CT and post-WBRT CT were assessed. Multiple variables were examined for correlation with volume reduction in the lumpectomy cavity. Results: The mean and median volume reduction in the lumpectomy cavity after WBRT were 17.6 $cm^3$ and 16.1 $cm^3$, respectively with the statistical significance (p < 0.001). The volume reduction in the lumpectomy cavity was inversely correlated with time from surgery to radiation therapy (R = 0.390). The presence of seroma was significantly associated with a volumetric change in the lumpectomy cavity after WBRT (p = 0.011). Conclusion: The volume of lumpectomy cavity reduced significantly after WBRT. As the time from surgery to the start ot WBRT increased, the volume reduction in the lumpectomy cavity during WBRT decreased. A strong correlation was observed between the presence of seroma and the reduced volume. To ensure appropriate coverage and to limit normal tissue exposure during boost irradiation in patients who has seroma at the time of starting WBRT, repeating CT simulation at boost planning is suggested.

  • 목 적: Machine Performance Check (MPC)는 Electronic Portal Imaging Device(EPID)를 기반으로 빔 출력을 별도의 설치 없이 측정할 수 있는 장점을 지닌 자체 검사 소프트웨어이다. 본원에서는 MPC와 QA Beamchecker PLUS 간의 일간 빔 출력을 비교 및 상관관계를 분석하여 MPC의 유용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본 실험을 진행하기 위해 선형가속기(Truebeam 2.5)를 이용하였고, 광자선(6 MV, 10 MV, 15 MV, 6 MV-FFF, 10 MV-FFF), 전자선(6 MeV, 9 MeV, 12 MeV, 16 MeV, 20 MeV) 총 10개의 에너지를 대상으로 5 개월간 치료 전 빔 출력을 MPC와 QA Beamchecker PLUS로 측정하여, 총 80 회의 데이터를 획득하였다. Pearson 상관계수를 사용하여 MPC와 QA Beamchecker PLUS 간의 빔 출력을 비교 및 상관관계를 평가하였다. Pearson 상관계수는 0.8 이상은 아주 강함, 0.6 이상 0.8 미만 강함, 0.4 이상 0.6 미만 보통, 0.2 이상 0.4 미만 약함, 0.2 미만 아주 약함을 의미한다. 결 과: MPC와 QA Beamchecker PLUS 모두 일간 빔 출력 일치도는 2 % 이내로 나타났다. MPC의 빔 출력은 광자선이 $0.29{\pm}0.26%$, 전자선이 $0.30{\pm}0.26%$로 나타났고, QA Beamchecker PLUS의 빔 출력은 광자선이 $0.31{\pm}0.24%$, 전자선이 $0.33{\pm}0.24%$로 나타났다. MPC와 QA Beamchecker PLUS 사이의 Pearson 상관계수는 광자선의 경우 15 MV에서는 아주강함, 6 MV, 10 MV, 6 MV-FFF 그리고 10 MV-FFF에서는 강함으로 나타났고, 전자선의 경우 16 MeV, 20 MeV에서 강함, 9 MeV, 12 MeV에서 보통, 6 MeV에서 아주 약함으로 나타났다. 결 론: MPC는 일간 빔 출력 평가 면에서 광자선과 고에너지 전자선에서는 QA Beamchecker PLUS와 강한 상관관계로 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만, 저에너지 전자선(6 MeV)에서는 낮은 상관관계를 보였지만, 관찰기간동안 MPC, QA Beamchecker PLUS 모두 빔 출력 일치도는 2 % 이내로 일간 빔 출력 확인 용도로는 적절할 것으로 판단된다. MPC는 기존의 일간 빔 출력 측정 도구 보다 빠르게 수행 할 수 있어 사용자 입장에서 효과적인 방법인 것으로 사료된다.

  • Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of preoperative neck lymph node (LN) assessment with $^{18}F$-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ($^{18}F$-FDG PET), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients with pathologically positive LN. Materials and Methods: In total, 47 OSCC patients with pathologically positive LN were retrospectively reviewed with preoperative $^{18}F$-FDG PET and CT/MRI. All patients underwent surgical resection, neck dissection and postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy between March 2002 and October 2010. Histologic correlation was performed for findings of $^{18}F$-FDG PET and CT/MRI. Results: Thirty-six (76.6%) of 47 cases were correctly diagnosed with neck LN metastasis by $^{18}F$-FDG PET and 32 (68.1%) of 47 cases were correctly diagnosed by CT/MRI. Follow-up ranged from 20 to 114 months (median, 56 months). Clinically negative nodal status evaluated by $^{18}F$-FDG PET or CT/MRI revealed a trend toward better clinical outcomes in terms of overall survival, disease-free survival, local recurrence-free survival, regional nodal recurrence-free survival, and distant metastasis-free survival rates even though the trends were not statistically significant. However, there was no impact of neck node standardized uptake value ($SUV_{max}$) on clinical outcomes. Notably, $SUV_{max}$ showed significant correlation with tumor size in LN (p < 0.01, $R^2$ = 0.62). PET and CT/MRI status of LN also had significant correlation with the size of intranodal tumor deposit (p < 0.05, $R^2$ = 0.37 and p < 0.01, $R^2$ = 0.48, respectively). Conclusion: $^{18}F$-FDG PET and CT/MRI at the neck LNs might improve risk stratification in OSCC patients with pathologically positive neck LN in this study, even without significant prognostic value of $SUV_{max}$.

  • Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is a promising biomass crop with a high lignocellulose content. This study aimed to select high salt-tolerance sorghum lines for cultivation on reclaimed land. Using 7-day seedlings of the sorghum population consisted of 71 radiation-derived mutants (M2 to M6) and 33 genetic resources, survival rate (SR), plant height (PH), root length (RL), fresh weight (FW), and chlorophyll content (CC) were measured for two weeks after 102 mM (0.6%) NaCl treatment. Furthermore, the characteristics of the sorghum population were confirmed using correlation analysis, PCA (principal component analysis), and the FCE (fuzzy comprehensive evaluation) method. Under 102 mM NaCl conditions, SR ranged from 4.9 (IS645-200-6) to 82.4% (KLSo79125-200-1), with an average of 49.9%. PH varied from 7.5 (Mesusu-100-2) to 33.2 cm (DINE-A-MITE-100-2-10), with an average of 20.4 cm. RL ranged from 1.0 (IS645-200-1) to 17.0 cm (30-100-2), with an average of 7.7 cm. FW varied from 0.1 (IS645-200-6) to 4.5 g/plant (DINE-A-MITE-100-2-10), with an average of 2.1 g/plant. CC ranged from 0.9 (DINE-A-MITE-100-2-2) to 3.1 mg/g (IS12937), with an average of 1.7 mg/g. An overall positive correlation, with SR and FW (r = 0.86, P < 0.01), and FW and CC (r = 0.79, P < 0.01), was shown by correlation analysis. Among the five traits, two principal components were extracted by PCA analysis. PC1 was significantly associated with FW, while PC2 was highly involved with RL. To evaluate the salt tolerance level of the sorghum population when an FCE based on trait data was performed, MFV (membership function value) was 0.68. As a result of compiling the MFV of each line, eight lines with MFV > 0.68 were selected. Ultimately, the radiation-derived mutant lines, DINE-A-MITE-100-2-10 and DINE-A-MITE-100-2-12 were selected as salt-tolerant sorghum lines. The results are expected to inform salt-tolerant sorghum breeding programs, and the high salt-tolerance sorghum lines might be advantageous for cultivation on reclaimed land.
