ISCD (International Society for Clinical Densitometry)에서는 골밀도 검사자의 전문성을 키우고자 검사자의 재현성 시험을 필수 자격조건으로 요구하고 있다. 하지만, 재현성 시험의 대상자 선정에 대한 권고안이 불확실하여 골밀도 상태에 따른 그룹별 재현성을 시험해 골밀도 차이가 재현성 시험에 영향을 주는지 알아보았다. 2008년 1월부터 6월까지 본원에 내원한 300명(57.8세$\pm$9.02)의 여성 골밀도 수검자를 두 그룹으로 나누어 4명의 검사자가 재현성을 시험하였다. A그룹의 120명은 4명(a,b,c,d)의 검사자가 골밀도 상태와 관계없이 동일한 방법으로 요추부와 대퇴부를 30명씩 두 번 측정하였고 나머지는 B그룹으로 두 명의 검사자가 골밀도 상태에 따라정상, 골다공증, 골감소증 군으로 분류하여 A그룹과 동일한 방법으로 재현성을 시험하였다. 사용된 장비는 GE Lunar Prodigy Advance (Vr11.4)이고, 수집된 자료는 ISCD에서 배포된 Precision Tool을 이용하여 각각의 변동계수율(%CV)를 알아보았으며 SPSS 14.0 통계 프로그램을 사용하여 분석하였다. A그룹의 %CV는 a, b,c, d 검사자가 각각 요추부 1.08, 0.83, 0.72, 1.37%, 대퇴부 1.08, 1.04, 1.4, 0.58 %로 산출되었고 동일 골밀도 상태의 요추와 대퇴부를 비교하면 재현성이 일관되지 않았다. B그룹에서는 a의 요추부 정상군 %CV가 1.26으로 가장 높았고 대퇴부는 0.94로 골다공증 군이 가장 높게 측정됐다. b는 요추부의 정상군 %CV가 0.97로 가장높았고 대퇴부는 1.04로 골다공증 군에서 가장 높았다. 요추부의 정상군과 대퇴부의 골다공증 군은 %CV가 가장 높게 나타나 골밀도 상태에 따른 재현성이 일관되지 않았다. 본원의 골밀도검사 재현성 시험은 골다공증 상태의 수검자를 제외한다. 그 이유는 ISCD의 대상자 선정이 불확실하고, 골밀도가 낮을수록 장비의 골 인식도가 떨어져 재현성 시험을 시행할 경우, 검사자의 수작업을 요하므로 좋은 재현성을 얻기 힘들기 때문이다. 하지만 재현성 결과값은 LSC (Least Significant Change)에 영향을 주기 때문에 장비, 검사자, 수검자에서 발생할 수 있는 모든 오차를 반영해야 한다. 실험결과는 골밀도 상태가 재현성에 영향을 주지 않았으며, 따라서 정상, 골감소, 골다공증의 구별 없이 대상자의 선정 폭을 넓혀 대상에 구애 받지 않고 보다 정확한 의미의 재현성 시험을 해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, basic characteristics such as reproducibility, linearity, and directionality of RPL glass dosimeters were evaluated to improve the reliability of dose evaluation through RPL glass dosimeters, and uncertainty elements such as sensitivity by glass element and magazine slot sensitivity were evaluated. Using a mathematical model to calibrate the measured values of the RPL glass dosimeter, the measurement uncertainty was calculated assuming an example. As a result of the characteristic evaluation, the RPL glass dosimeter showed excellent performance with a standard deviation of ±1% (1 SD) for the reproducibility of the reading process, a coefficient of determination for linearity of 0.99997. And the read-out of the RPL glass dosimeter are affected by the circular rotation direction of the glass dosimeter during irradiation, fading according to the period after irradiation, the number of laser pulses of the reader, and response degradation due to repeated reading, it is judged that measurement uncertainty can be reduced by irradiation and reading in consideration of these factors. In addition, it was confirmed that the dose should be determined by calculating the correction factors for the sensitivity of each element and, the sensitivity of each reading magazine slot. It is believed that the reliability of dosimetry using glass dosimeters can be improved by using a mathematical model for correction of glass dosimeter readings and calculating measurement uncertainty.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of varying resolutions of cone-beam computed tomography images on the accuracy of linear measurements of edentulous areas in human cadaver heads. Intact cadaver heads were used to simulate a clinical situation. Materials and Methods: Fiduciary markers were placed in the edentulous areas of 4 intact embalmed cadaver heads. The heads were scanned with two different CBCT units using a large field of view ($13cm{\times}16cm$) and small field of view ($5cm{\times}8cm$) at varying voxel sizes (0.3 mm, 0.2 mm, and 0.16 mm). The ground truth was established with digital caliper measurements. The imaging measurements were then compared with caliper measurements to determine accuracy. Results: The Wilcoxon signed rank test revealed no statistically significant difference between the medians of the physical measurements obtained with calipers and the medians of the CBCT measurements. A comparison of accuracy among the different imaging protocols revealed no significant differences as determined by the Friedman test. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.961, indicating excellent reproducibility. Inter-observer variability was determined graphically with a Bland-Altman plot and by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient. The Bland-Altman plot indicated very good reproducibility for smaller measurements but larger discrepancies with larger measurements. Conclusion: The CBCT-based linear measurements in the edentulous sites using different voxel sizes and FOVs are accurate compared with the direct caliper measurements of these sites. Higher resolution CBCT images with smaller voxel size did not result in greater accuracy of the linear measurements.

Representative meteorological data of the rural water district, which is the spatial unit of the study, was produced using the grid-based national standard RCP scenario rainfall data provided by the Korea Meteorological Administration. The retrospective reproducibility of the climate model scenario data was analyzed, and the change in climate characteristics in the water district unit for the future period was presented. Finally the data characteristics and differences of each meteorological element according to various spatial resolution conversion and post-processing methods were examined. As a main result, overall, the distribution of average precipitation and R95p of the grid data, has reasonable reproducibility compared to the ASOS observation, but the maximum daily rainfall tends to be distributed low nationwide. The number of rainfall days tends to be higher than the station-based observation, and this is because the grid data is generally calculated using the area average concept of representative rainfall data for each grid. In addition, in the case of coastal regions, there is a problem that administrative districts of islands and rural water districts do not match. and In the case of water districts that include mountainous areas, such as Jeju, there was a large difference in the results depending on whether or not high rainfall in the mountainous areas was reflected. The results of this study are expected to be used as foundation for selecting data processing methods when constructing future meteorological data for rural water districts for future agricutural water management plans and climate change vulnerability assessments.

본 연구에서는 나노구조를 갖는 카본블랙이 충전된 CB/HDPE 복합재료를 용융 혼합법으로 제조한 후 온도변화에 따른 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. 복합재료의 전기적 재현성 향상과 negative temperature coefficient (NTC) 현상의 제거를 위하여 전자선을 30-150 kGy로 조사하였으며, 조사된 복합재료의 가교함량 분석은 용매 추출법을 이용하였다. 실험결과, CB/HDPE 복합재료의 PTC 세기는 카본블랙의 함량과 입자크기에 크게 영향을 받으며. 가교함량의 급격한 증가에 따른 NTC 현상의 제거는 전자선 흡수선량이 60 kGy일 때였다. 또한 전자선 조사를 통하여 전기적 재현성이 향상되었는데, 이는 복합재료의 가교도 증가에 따른 수지의 용융온도 근처에서의 카본블랙 유동성의 감소 때문이라 사료된다.
