Earthquake are not frequent in korea but exist. The purpose of this study is to make a fixation(tie up) device against earthquake for radiologic department installation. It is considered that the device will prevent the X-ray equipment fall down, slip, Jumping therefor save the X-ray equipment itself and making possible to examine patients even when occuring earthquake, Discussion on how to make and how to set up was researched.

This study was performed to find out dose distribution, pdd, surface dose and off center ratio. A few articles is analysis of dose data in radiotherapy field, there is no standardized measure of an assessment of exposure dose at diagnostic radiology, yet. And authors demonstrated a new assessment measure by ion chamber, TLD and film dosimetry system. We assurance that our data is useful to quantiative analysis of exposure dose and clinical fields for reduction of radiation dose.

IEC 규격은 유럽, 일본 등 해외 여러 나라에서 자국의 규격으로서 이용되고 있으며, 우리나라에서는 현재 산업표준인 KS 형태와 더불어 강제성을 갖는 식품의약품안전청 고시로서도 발행되고 있다. 전자의료기기에 관한 IEC 규격인 IEC 60601 시리즈의 공통규격(IEC 60601-1:2005)이 3판으로 개정됨에 따라, 보조규격과 개별규격 또한 그에 맞추어 제 개정이 필요하다. IEC 규격의 변화 동향을 파악하는 것은 국내 의료기기 제조 수입업체 및 시험검사기관에서 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 진단용X선기기와 관련한 3개 규격 IEC 60601-2-44(CT의 기본안전과 필수성능에 관한 규격), IEC 60601-2-45(유방촬영용X선장치의 기본안전과 필수성능에 관한 규격), IEC 60601-2-54(진단용 X선장치의 기본안전과 필수성능에 관한 개별규격)에 대하여 IEC 60601-1의 3판에 맞추어 제 개정된 최신판의 동향 및 특징을 살펴보고자 하였다. 또한 현행 식품의약품안전청 고시가 IEC 60601-1의 2판이 적용된 개별규격을 참고로 하고 있어, 현행 식품의약품안전청 고시와 대비하여 그 특징을 살펴보았다. IEC 60601-1의 3판이 적용된 진단용X선장치 외 2개의 IEC 개별규격의 특징은 다음과 같다. 1) 기계적 위해요인, 특히 움직이는 부분에 대한 내용이 강화되었다. 2) 환자 선량을 표시 및 기록하도록 명시하고 있다. 3) 잠재적인 위험요소에 대해 체계적으로 관리가 가능한 위험관리 프로세스를 도입하고 있다. 4) 과거 Film-Screen System과 더불어 DR system(digital radiography system)에 대해서도 적용하고 있다. 현재 IEC 60601-1의 3판이 적용된 개별규격이 식품의약품안전청 고시로 개정될 예정이므로, 국내 시험 검사기관 및 의료기기 제조 수입업체 등에 유용한 자료가 되기를 기대한다.

By analyzing each part of expsure condition and the status of an entrance dose which is exposed to patients, this study reached the following conclusion. Since there is no standard in setting up an exposure condition, the technology practiced in each facility varies tremendously, and the entrance dose increased especially due to the improper selection of screen and grid and the shortage of a total amount of filtration in leaching the standard filtration amount. Entrance dose was, generally, turned out to be $2{\sim}3$ times as much as that of advanced countries, and there was big difference between facilities ; approximately 52 times inlateral of cervical vertebrae, 35 times in A-P of femur, 33 times in chest A-P, and 11 times in lumber A-P. Therefore, to minimize the entrance dose of a patient with thegreatest amount of image information, acquirement of technological know-how necessary for standardization of exposure condition for each part can be an important research task.

유방촬영장치(mammography equipment, ME)을 이용한 유방검사(mammography, MG)의 경우 유방암의 조기진단을 위해 가장 일반적으로 시행되고 있는 검사방법으로 유방 내 섬유화 조직, 미소석회화 및 종양덩어리의 발견과 진단은 유방촬영장치의 품질관리(quality management, QM)에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 특히, 유방검사에서 품질관리란 장치와 연관된 문제점들이 임상영상에서 영상의 질(image quality, IQ) 저하로 진단영역 축소를 초래할 수 있는 발생가능한 모든 문제점을 사전에 파악하여 교정함으로써 항상 일정수준의 영상의 질을 유지하고 영상을 획득할 수 있게 하는 행위를 의미한다. 이에 본 연구진은 유방촬영장치를 이용한 유방검사의 품질관리에 대한 일반적인 내용을 요약하여 보고 한다.

This study was conducted to improve performance flow of PACS registration and output of external medical images by developing or adding File Transfer Protocol(FTP) Module on Order Communication System(OCS) and to upgrade efficiency of performance. The numbers of requests for examination of external medical images from January 2004 to December 2007 were investigated and the numbers of cases of examinations and losses were done respectively from January to June, 2007 as a period before the improvement and from July to December, 2007 as a period after it. Satisfaction of persons inputting external medical images of CD was asked directly before and after the improvement. When the numbers of requests for examination of external medical images from 2004 to 2007 2004 were investigated, they were 12,783, 16,774, 21,613 and 27,487 cases in 2004, 2005, 2005 and 2007 respectively. For the numbers of the requests from January to December, 2007 it was the lowest in February by recording 1846 and it was 2800 in October. While the number of loss of external medical images was averagely 3.6 before using FTP Module on OCS, it reduced to 0 and satisfaction increased to 98% after it. By utilizing FTP Module on OSC for PACS registration of external medical images, the images were delivered simultaneously with occurrence of order, PACS registration of many patients was conducted together and CDs were returned to patients immediately after sending images from outpatient clinics or wards to remove possibility of losing them. In addition, because the module was established on OCS and data were sent associated with order, problems related with order were decreased. By eliminating movement distance it was turned out to be very effective in terms of time and space.

We have evaluated and compared of gradient echo and spin echo EPI for compensating about deeply distortion aspect in case of post-operation patients in magnetic resonance image. A total of 100 patients were performed on 3.0 T(GE Signa Excite E2, USA) with 8ch head coil. As a result of analysis, The SNRs of whiter and gray matter areas were 36.74 $\pm$ 06 and 39.96 $\pm$ 09 in the gradient echo EPI, the SNRs which white and gray matter areas were slightly higher than gradient echo EPI(P<0.005, paired student t-test). It was 46.24 $\pm$ 11 and 51.38 $\pm$ 13 in gradient and spin echo EPI, respectively. The signal intensity in the whiter and gray matter areas also were 87.33 $\pm$ 15.24 and 140.66 $\pm$ 13.45 in the gradient echo EPI techniques, The signal intensity of gradient echo EPI showed higher values compared to spin echo EPI. Otherwise, gradient echo EPI technique is distortion enough to operation wound and edge of the image, while spin echo EPI technique did not appear almost. In this point, the spin echo EPI technique, after surgical operation according to patient state beside gradient echo EPI techniques that signalbeside gradient echo EPI techniques that signal intensity is high and patient's case which image distortion is serious by metal etc, will be provide the useful information in adults and pediatric patients.

Hospitals these days are trying to introduce the a practice has recently been generalized in the test or diagnosis process, where test results and images from different test labs are interlinked together. This process is identical to that of physical aspect in EMR process, which computerizes the paper results within the hospital. One of the prerequisites for the process of computerizing test results is the interface between clinical test devices in the test labs. However, due to the variety of prescription inputs, disparity of test result papers, complexity of job in test labs and diversify of interfaces among the different devices, interconnection with the hospital information system is a complicated job. A universal control of clinical test devices which have independent communication protocols has become possible by connecting them with an interface workstation. As for the patients, waiting time for test has been reduced, and, thanks to the synchronized result retrieval system, it has become possible to check the test results on the very day of the test. As a result, the length of hospitalization has been reduced, too. In terms of workflow, as the transfer of charts and transfer of result papers are separated, the embarrassing job of collecting result papers has disappeared. As patients' test appointment and the results processing can be made on-line, extra work for doctors have disappeared. And, thanks to the computerization of test results information management, the job of statistical processing has become convenient.
