의료용의 선형가속장치는 방사선치료에 있어서 그 활용도가 가장 높으며, 최근에는 10MV 이상의 고에너지 광자선을 이용한 치료가 보편화되고 있다. 그러나 광핵반응에 의한 광중성자가 생성됨으로써 방사선 방호측면에서 많은 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 MCNPX 프로그램을 이용하여 치료실 내의 위치별 중성자의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 광중성자의 생성 개수도 선원 중심점을 기준으로 거리가 멀어질수록 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 10MV에서 20MV로 에너지가 높아짐에 따른 열중성자와 속중성자의 비율은 큰 차이가 없었지만, 선원 중심점으로부터 거리가 이격될수록 열중성자의 비율이 높아지는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to review clinical and radiologic changes after arthroscopic operation without bone graft for osteochondral lesion with subchondral cyst on the talus. And we compared the results with those without cyst. Radiologic changes were also observed. Materials and Methods: Arthroscopic microfrature or abrasion arthroplasty was performed on 10 caeses of osteochondral lesions with subchondral cyst and 20 cases without cysts. Preoperative and postoperative symptoms were evaluated by Ankle-Hind foot scale of AOFAS and the score of two groups were compared(t-Test : Paired Two Test for Means). Radiologic evaluation was performed after operation on patients with osteochondral lesion with cyst. Results: On patients of osteochondral lesion with subchondral cyst on talus, there was clinical improvement compared to the preoperative status and compared to patients without cysts(P=0.01) after arthroscopic operation. We could get increase of density and decrease of size of cystic lesion on plain film with time passage. Conclusion: We report 10 cases with osteochondral lesion with subchondral cyst on talus which resulted in clinical and radiological improvement after arthroscopic microfracture or abrasion arthroplasty without bone graft.

This study was intended to evaluate the shielding rate of radiation shields manufactured using 3D printers that have recently been used in various fields by comparing them with existing shields made of lead, and to find out their applicability through experiments. A 3D printer shield made of tungsten filament 1 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm shield, RNS-TX (nanotungsten) 1.1 mm, lead 0.2 mmPb, and 1mmPb were exposed to ^99mTc, ¹⁸F, and ²⁰¹TI for 15, 30, 45 minutes, and 60 minutes after measuring cumulative dose three times. Based on this, the shielding rate of each shield was calculated based on the dose in the absence of the shield. In addition, ^99mTc, ¹⁸F, and ²⁰¹TI were located 100 cm away from the phantom in which the OSLD nano Dot device was inserted, and if there was no shield for 60 minutes, the dose of thyroid was measured using 1.0 mm of lead shield, 1.1 mm of RNS-TX shield, and 2 mm of tungsten shield made by 3D printer. The use of shields during radiation shielding emitted from open radiation sources all resulted in a reduction in dose. The radiation dose emitted from the radionuclides under the experiment was all reduced when the shield was used. This study has been confirmed that tungsten is a material that can replace lead due to its excellent performance and efficiency as shield, and that it even shows the possibility of manufacturing a customized shield using 3D printer.

We report two cases of cleidocranial dysplasia, which was managed without significant craniofacial osteotomy. A mother and daughter, both of normal intelligence, presented with central forehead depression, mid-face hypoplasia, and blepharoptosis. The fact that they have an identically deformed face implied a genetic basis. In both patients, radiologic evaluation revealed the underdeveloped maxilla, persistent fontanelle opening, and cleidal aplasia. Clinical findings and radiologic studies were consistent with the diagnosis of cleidocranial dysplasia. Both patients underwent forehead plasty via bicoronal approach, augmentation rhinoplasty using tip plasty, and epicanthoplasty. In addition, the mother underwent malar augmentation using Medpor implantation and reduction genioplasty. The patients did not experience any postoperative complication and remained satisfied with the operation at 6-year follow-up.

Purpose: Anterior drawer and varus stress test are commonly used for radiologic evaluation of chronic lateral ankle instability. However, there are controversies regarding the method of measurement and the normal value. This study was performed to investigate radiologic normal values in normal Korean adults and to analyze differences by age and gender. Materials and Methods: Sixty Korean adults were recruited and divided in three groups (20 in their twenties, 20 in their thirties, 20 in their forties). There were 10 males and 10 females in each group. The selection criteria were no history of ankle injury and no evidence of instability on physical examination. Radiologic measurement of varus talar tilt and anterior talar translation were performed through anterior and varus stress radiographs using Telos device (150N force). The measurement was repeated twice by three researchers, and intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability were analyzed. The average talar tilt and anterior talar translation were obtained. Results: Talar tilt and anterior talar translation on ankle stress radiographs had good intraobserver reproducibility and interobserver reliability. Talar tilt was average $3.7^{\circ}$ and $5.1^{\circ}$ in male and female of twenties of age, $3.9^{\circ}$ and $4.8^{\circ}$ in their thirties, $3.4^{\circ}$ and $4.5^{\circ}$ in their forties. Anterior talar translation was average 3.5 mm and 4.2 mm in their twenties, 4.1 mm and 3.8 mm in their thirties, 3.6 mm and 4.1 mm in their forties. There was no significant difference in talar tilt and anterior talar translation by age. However, there was significant difference in talar tilt by gender. Conclusion: Normal range of talar tilt angle in Korean adults was below $8.3^{\circ}$, and normal range of anterior talar translation was below 7.6 mm. It seems to be able to serve as a good reference for radiologic evaluation and for treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability.

Introduction: Research on dental bone graft material has been actively conducted. Recently, demineralized dentin matrix material has been developed and introduced. This study examined the effect of demineralized dentin matrix material on bone healing. Subjects and Methods: The patients who received no treatment after extraction were used as the control group and patients who underwent demineralized dentin matrix material application in the extraction socket after extraction were used as the experimental group. Panorama radiography was performed at the baseline and at 3.5 months after graft material placement and CT was taken at 3.5 months after graft material placement for a radiologic evaluation. Bony tissue specimens were collected from the alveolar crest in the middle of the extraction socket using a 2 mm trephine bur after 3.5 months for the histology and hostomorphometric study. Results: 1. On the panoramic view, a higher bone density was observed in the subject group. 2. On the panoramic view, the bone density increased significantly in the extraction socket, from the baseline to 3.5 months: a 7 and 10 gray-level scale was observed in the control and experimental group, respectively (P<0.05). 3. The CT view evaluation at 3.5 months revealed significantly higher bone density in the subject group than the control group (P<0.05). 4. The histological findings showed more active new bone and lamellar bone formation in the subject group. Dentin with osteoinduction ability and enamel with osteoconduction ability appeared. 5. On histomorphometric analysis, the subject group showed significantly more new bone, lamellar bone area and lower soft tissue area (P<0.05). The difference between the groups was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: Bone healing was improved after the application of demineralized dentin matrix material and there was active new bone and lamellar bone formation.

본 연구는 병원 및 대학교 등에 설치된 X선 발생장치를 대상으로 진단용 방사선 발생장치의 품질관리 항목을 적용하여 성능 비교를 하여 주기적인 성능관리의 중요성을 인식시켜 성능유지 및 관리에 도움을 주고자 한다. 우선 재현성 및 직선성 실험결과 모든 실험조건에서 합격기준에 부합되었으며 주기적인 정도관리가 부족한 GX-650장치의 경우 재현성 평가의 백분율 오차가 높았으며 직선성 평가에서는 관전압을 100 kVp로 설정 시 0.105로 백분율 오차에서 벗어나게 측정되었다. 또한 관전압 및 관전류의 정확도 평가결과 상대적으로 X선 발생횟수가 낮은 장치에서 백분율 오차가 낮은 것을 알 수 있었다. 반가층 실험은 모든 장치에서 관전압 별 반가층 기준에 모두 포함되었다. 따라서 병원용, 실습용 구분보다는 모든 장치의 정도관리의 중요성을 인식하고 적극적으로 장치의 성능관리를 시행하여 장치를 유지 관리해야 할 것이며 특수의료장비처럼 짧은 주기의 정도관리 제도를 마련해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Objective : To evaluate the role of stereotactic LINAC radiosurgery in treatment of meningiomas, the authors retrospectively analyzed the result of radiosurgery in our institute. Method: During last ten years, twenty patients underwent stereotactic LINAC radiosurgery(LINAC SRS) for meningiomas. The mean age of the patients was 51 years(22-78 years). The most common tumor location for radiosurgery was parasagittal, sphenoid wing and tentorial area. With regards to indications of radiosurgery for meningiomas, LINAC radiosurgery was done for primary treatment in six patients, for postoperative residual tumors in eleven patients, for postoperative regrowth in three patients. Mean tumor volume was $5.14cm^3$($0.28-15.1cm^3$), mean field diameter was 2.01cm(1.2-3cm). The mean marginal dose was 20.55Gy(13-30Gy). The follow-up evaluation was done annually with radiologic findings and clinical status. The mean follow-up period was 46.8(24-120) months. Result : In the radiologic response, the tumor volume was reduced in five(25%) of twenty patients, fourteen showed arrested growth(70%), but one patient showed increased growth(5%). In the clinical response, nine patients improved clinically(45%), ten patients was stable(50%) and one patient worsened during follow-up period. With regards to correlation with radiologic and clinical response, in nineteen patients who showed radiologic response to radiosurgery(decreased and arrested growth after radiosurgery), nine patients(47.4%) improved and ten patients (52.6%) showed no change, one patient(5%) had symptomatic radiation necrosis at four years after SRS, which needed craniotomy. Conclusion : The overall control rate of meningiomas with LINAC radiosurgery was 95% in radiologic follow up and 95% clinically. The radiation complication rate was 5%. These results indicate that LINAC radiosurgery can be considered as safe and effective method for meningiomas.

이 연구는 의료기관인증 획득 당시와 인증획득 이후 인증기준 준수율이 얼마나 향상 또는 감소되었는지를 확인하고자 의료기관인증을 획득한 대전지역의 4개 대학병원에 종사하며 의료기관 인증평가를 경험한 방사선사를 대상으로 하였다. 연구방법으로는 의료기관인증평가 기준 틀을 재분류하여 환자안전, 직원 및 환경안전 영역에 대해 평가하였다. 환자안전(patient safety) 8문항, 직원안전(staff Safety) 5문항, 환경안전(environmental safety) 3문항으로 총 16문항으로 구성하였고 인증기준 준수율은 10점 척도로 인증평가 당시와 현재의 인증기준 준수율을 측정하였다. 연구결과 인증기준 준수율은 인증평가 당시에 비해 2012년 12월 현재 평균적으로 환자안전, 직원 및 환경안전 영역 모두가 떨어졌다. 세부문항 16개 중에서 가장 많이 떨어진 문항은 환자안전 영역의 손위생이었다. 손위생은 개인의 노력 및 필요성에 대한 인식도 중요하지만 지속적인 교육과 관리 감독이 역시 중요하다. 따라서 의료기관들은 인증기준 준수의 필요성에 대해 지속적인 교육 시행과 적극적인 관리 감독이 필요하다.
