Bone scan using radioactive isotope can be more effective than conventional X-ray radiograph for finding jaw lesion because it takes an image of the physiologic change of bone. This study is designed to show how available bone scan is able to diagnose jaw lesion better than simple X-ray and CT, as well as to determine a basis of diagnosis for jaw lesion using bone scan. The 77 patients, visiting the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Department of Dankook University Hospital from January 2002. to August 2005. who were diagnosed histopathologically with postoperative malignant tumor, osteomyelitis, and bone infiltrative benign disease. Preoperative X-ray, CT, bone scan were taken and were compared with histopathologic finding. Also to compare specificty of each lesion in bone scan, bone density was measured to compare. The results were as follows. 1. Among the 25 cases of oral malignant tumor of bony invasion, a positive diagnosis associated with histopathologic evaluation, 22 cases(88%) in bone scan, 14 cases(56%) in CT image, and 10 cases40%) in simple X-ray. 2. Among the 31 cases of osteomyelitis, a positive diagnosis associated with histopathologic evaluation, 30 cases(97%) in bone scan, 23 cases(74%) in CT image, and 19 cases(61%) in simple X-ray. 3. Among the 11cases of bone infiltrative benign disease, a positive diagnosis associated with histopathologic evaluation, 11 cases(100%) in bone scan, 10 cases(91%) in CT image, and 6 cases(55%) in simple X-ray. 4. Measurement of bone density in each group showed no statistical significant difference between malignant tumor and osteomyelitis as well as benign bone disease. But, a statistical significance was seen between osteomyelitis and benign bone disease. From this results, bone scan are more sensitive than simple X-ray and CT image in jaw lesion diagnosis, but specificity shows no significant difference. Therefore, it should be suggested that evaluation of bone scan must be carrying out in reference to final histopathologic diagnosis.

Radiographic units have changeable factors in x-ray outputs, Therefore, an exposure factor by basic experimental study must be made out about each x-ray installation, but this is very intricate methods and not a practical business. Authors tried out a new method to make simple exposure factors. The first, we had a experimental object radiograph taken to find the output of each radiographic unit. The second, by obtained x-ray density we found the difference in x-ray output. and lastly, we made a new and simple correction method to use the obtained output and x-ray density.

Objective : The objective of this study is to report the effectiveness of conservative treatment on simple pelvic fracture with ostomy. Methods : A female patient 65 years old with ostomy, who were diagnosed as simple pelvic fracture by X-ray, were treated with conservative treatment by herbal medication with acupuncture and physical therapy. We evaluated the effectiveness by checking X-ray, Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging(D.I.T.I.). Results : The symptoms of the patient got improved and X-ray showed the fracture were healing. Conclusions : Conservative korean medical treatment can be effectively used for a patient with simple pelvic fracture and ostomy.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to have better data and to make efficient clinical reviews about children's growth based on two methods; X-ray of hand, and ultrasound of calcaneus. Methods : The study was composed of 100 patients(50 of boys and 50 of girls) who visited in department of pediatrics, O O university oriental hospital considering growth and their development. Bone age was measured by the TW3 method's RUS score in simple X-ray image of hand and bone density through ultrasonic image of calcaneus. To predict children's estimated height, their parent's height, bone age, and present height's percentile was measured. Results and Conclusions : 1. The bone age results from X-ray image of hand and ultrasonic image of calcaneus were correlated. Younger children have older bone age from hand's X-ray than the one from calcaneus's ultrasound. Older children have older bone age from calcaneus's ultrasound than one from hand's X-ray. 2. Predicted adult height by bone age(BH) of hand's X-ray and BH of calcaneus's ultrasound were correlated, but predicted adult height by inheritance(IH) was not correlated with others. 3. Bone age and predicted adult height were correlated with age, height, weight, BMI, and especially with age and height. 4. Measuring bone age by X-ray image of hand and ultrasonic image of calcaneus was simple and effective way of estimating children's growth and development.

I report a simple method to correct the saturation effect in absorption spectra measured in total electron yield (TEY) mode. It does not require additional measurements of the X-ray penetration depth. In order to check the reliability of the method, X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectra for polycrystalline Fe were measured at two different incident angles, and then processed with the method. The two resultant XMCD spectra were identical, and their sum rule analysis produced the ratios of orbital magnetic moment to spin magnetic moment, which were very close to the well-known value.

Discoid meniscus has been well known to a frequent anomaly of meniscus and much reported in diagnosis and treatment. But, associated X-ray findings have not been known well. We reported its significance of X-ray findings in discoid meniscus. From May 1995 to May 1997, 31 cases of discoid meniscus were compared with 51 cases of nondiseoid meniscus both confirmed by arthroscopy, with simple X-my findings. Both groups were evaluated by X-ray findings in view of lateral joint space widening, peripheral spur of lateral joint space, sclerotic change of lateral tibial plateau, concave lateral tibial plateau, flattening of lateral femoral condyle, hypoplasia of lateral femoral condyle and high riding fibula. The results of analysis were as follows: 1. Widening of lateral joint space, sclerotic change of lateral tibial plateau and cupping of lateral tibial plateau were statistically significant in discoid meniscus. 2. X-ray findings in discoid meniscus were not associated with patient's injury history and symptom duration. 3. Other X-ray findings were not related in discoid meniscus significantly. X-ray findings with patient's history and physical examination arc helpful in the diagnosis of discoid meniscus.

본 논문에서는 휴대용 X-ray 검출기의 방사선 고감도 검출에 대한 실현 가능 여부를 확인하기 위한 SiPM의 특성 분석을 목적으로 한다. 휴대용 X-ray 검출기는 환자의 위치에 빠르게 접근하여 실시간 이미지를 획득함으로써 의사들은 신속하게 진단을 수행할 수 있는 장점이 있지만 이러한 이동성은 선량 감지의 어려움을 동반한다. 기존 검출기에서는 SiPM을 X-ray Trigger를 판별하는 단순한 용도로 사용하고 있다. SiPM을 통한 X-ray의 고감도 검출 가능 여부를 확인하기 위해 7종의 SiPM Sensor를 비교 선정하고 특성 분석을 진행하였다. 최종 시험에 사용한 SiPM은 10 nGy 수준의 극저선량 조사 조건에서 Signal 구분이 가능하며, 관전압에 따라 Signal 상승곡선의 기울기가 변하는 것이 확인되었다. X-ray 선량에 따라 SiPM의 signal level 및 지속시간이 변화되는 특성을 이용한 고감도 측정이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

Using a simple analytic model based on the MHD stability arguments we obtain the size of the magnetosphere for the magnetic compact stars. We assume the ordered, field-aligned flow in the magnetosphere and estimate the wellknown Alfven radius. The dependence of the X-ray absorption in the magnetic funnel on the size of this radius is further considered. We show that such a determination of the magnetic interaction radius can be applied to the reconstruction of X-ray light curves of the magnetic binary stars.

Most thickness measurement techniques using X-ray radiation are unsuitable in field processes involving fast-moving organic films. Herein, we propose a Compton scattering X-ray radiation method, which probes the light elements in organic materials, and a new simple, non-destructive, and non-contact calibration-free real-time film thickness measurement technique by setting up a bench-top X-ray thickness measurement system simulating a field process dealing with thin flexible organic films. The use of X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering X-ray radiation reflectance signals from films in close contact with a roller produced accurate thickness measurements. In a high-thickness range, the contribution of X-ray fluorescence is negligible, whereas that of Compton scattering is negligible in a low-thickness range. X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering show good correlations with the organic film thickness (R² = 0.997 and 0.999 for X-ray fluorescence and Compton scattering, respectively, in the thickness range 0-0.5 mm). Although the sensitivity of X-ray fluorescence is approximately 4.6 times higher than that of Compton scattering, Compton scattering signals are useful for thick films (e.g., thicker than ca. 1-5 mm under our present experiment conditions). Thus, successful calibration-free thickness monitoring is possible for fast-moving films, as demonstrated in our experiments.
