위장조영검사(UGIS)의 품질관리(quality control)를 위해 우리나라를 대표하는 종합검진기관 21곳에서 수검자 105명에 대한 위장조영촬영 영상 표본을 획득하였다. 표본 영상을 두 나라의 위장조영검사 화질평가표에 의해 각각 평가한 결과 우리나라 화질평가표(Image Quality Evaluation Table; IQET)에 의한 평균점수는 73.3점에 표준 오차 4.49로 21개 검진기관 중 19개 기관이 적격 판정을 받았다. 이에 반해 일본의 화질평가표에 의한 평균점수는 58점에 표준오차 4.45로 적격판정을 받은 기관은 불과 8곳 밖에 되질 않았다. 동일한 영상을 다른 평가표로 평가한 결과에 큰 차이를 보였다. 원인을 알아보기 위해 화질 평가표를 각각 항목별로 분석하여 위 전체영역의 묘출확인과 촬영기술에 대한 문제점을 파악하였고 획득된 영상으로 각 종합검진기관의 위장조영검사의 실태를 분석하였다. 우리나라 위장조영검사의 가장 큰 문제점은 명확한 검진방법 없이 검사가 시행되고 있다는 점이었다. 종합검진기관 21곳 모두 위장조영촬영방법이 모두 다를 뿐더러 앞벽 이중조영 촬영은 대부분 시행하지 않고 있었고 우리나라 화질 평가표에 포함하도록 명시된 점막상이나 식도영상을 포함하지 않는 종합검진기관도 있었다. 또한 체위에 따른 중복촬영이 시행되고 있어 수검자에 대한 무분별한 피폭선량에 대한 문제도 발생하고 있었다. 이에 적절한 위장조영검사의 품질관리를 통해 진단정보가 충분한 영상을 획득할 수 있도록 노력해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: Advancement of computed tomography (CT) hardware and software has allowed thin section scanning and reconstruction of fascinating 2-dimentional (2D) and 3- dimentional (3D) images. Especially, the reconstruction of 3D images of gastrointestinal tract has been used in the detection and diagnosis of pre-malignant and malignant diseases. To compare the efficacy of CT gastrography with conventional upper gastrointenstinal series (UGIs) in gastric cancer patients. Materials and Methods: During Nov. 2002 and Mar. 2003, twenty-seven patients who had gastric cancer received both double contrast upper GI series and CT gastrography prior to radical surgery. Among these patients, nineteen had early gastric cancer (EGC) and 8 had advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Fifteen patients were male and 12 were female. The mean age was 54 yrs (range, $27\∼75$ yrs). The patients were placed on NPO and Stomach was distended with gas in fasting state prior to CT scanning. Double contrast upper GI series were performed as routine manual. CT scan was conducted in all patients using 8 or 16-channel multidetector CT in this study. The collimation and reconstruction for CT scanning were set at 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm, respectively. CT scanning was performed in the supine position. For image processing, CT gastrography, in which raysum and surface rendering images were constructed, virtual and 2D image in coronal and sagittal images were performed. The detectability of gastric cancer was assessed between UGIs and CT gastrography. Results: In AGCs, the detection rate of cancer using CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy was higher than EGC cases. However, CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy showed less favorable results than UGIs. Even though only a small number of cases had been studied, we might conclude that CT gastrography and virtual gastroscopy could replace UGIs in the detection of AGC cases. Conclusion: The detection rate used with CT gastrography and Virtual gastroscopy is not better than that of UGIs in early gastric cancer, however, in advanced gastric cancer cases, it is nearly equal to that of UGIs.

최근 우리나라 GIS는 지리공간정보에 u-IT 기술을 접목하여 응합 및 확장되는 새로운 지능형 지리정보 기술로 발전하고 있다. 이미 글로벌 IT 업계에서는 'Geospatial Web'을 통해 실세계와 가상세계를 연계하고 있으며, 사용자가 쉽게 지리공간정보에 접근 활용할 수 있는 엔진이나 플랫폼 등의 다양한 신기술 개발을 추진 중에 있다. 이에 본고에서는 지능형 지리정보의 핵심인 'Geospatial Web'에 대한 간략한 개념과 함께, 국내외 지능형 지리정보 기술 동향 및 UGIS 표준화 동향에 관해 살펴보고자 한다. 최종적으로는 이러한 국내외 지능형 지리정보 기술 동향 및 표준화동향 분석을 통해, 향후 지능형 지리정보 기술이 세계시장에서 선두기술 분야로 경쟁력을 갖출 수 있는 기술 개발 전략을 도출해 내는데 그 목적이 있다.

We performed case-control studies for the 1,138 Korean adult men. According to the results of UGIS, we classified the gastritis into the erosive gastritis, superficial gastritis, and hypertrophic gastritis. And then, we selected controls among non-gastritis group after matching. Alcohol intake and smoking history was obtained by questionnaire. And we observed the effects of alcohol intake and smoking to the each gastritis. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Smokers had a risk of getting erosive gastritis more than twice(2.6) than non-smokers and there was dose-response relationships between smoking and erosive gastritis. Alcohol intake, however, had no significant relation with the erosive gastritis. 2. Both smoking and alcohol intake had no significant relations with superficial gastritis. 3. Smoking had no significant relation with hypertrophic gastritis, but dividing between those who drank more than 100gm of alcohol a week and those who drank less, we obtained the odds ratio of 3.4 suggesting that there existed a significant relation between moderate or excessive alcohol intake and hypertrophic gastritis. 4. Among the gastritis patients, those who had erosive gastritis smoked most heavily, and those who had hypertrophic gastritis drank most excessively.

Intestinal malrotation presents with different clinical characteristics, depending upon the age of the patient. The medical records of 44 patients treated for intestinal malrotation with/without midgut volvuls between January 2002 and August 2009 at Seoul National University Children's Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were grouped by the age criteria of 1 and 12 months. Fourteen patients were under 1 month of age (31.8 %), 9 patients between 1 month and 12 months (20.5 %) and 21 patients over 12 months (47.7 %). Twenty patients (45.5 %) presented with volvulus. Vomiting (66 %) and abdominal pain (20 %) were the most common symptoms. UGIS (68.2 %) was the most frequent diagnostic tool. Mean postoperative hospital stay was 13.7 days. There were 7 mild postoperative complications. Volvulus was more frequent in patients under 1 month (p=0.025) than over 1 month. The interval between diagnosis and operation was shorter in patients under 1 month (p=0.003) than in patients over one month of age. In the age between under and over 12 months, volvulus was more common in those under 12 months of age, but the difference was not significant. The interval from diagnosis to operation was shorter in patients under 12 months than over 12 months of age (p=0.001). Vomiting was the most frequent symptom in patients under 12 months. On the other hand, abdominal pain was the most frequent symptom in patients over 12 months. In conclusion, patients with intestinal malrotation had age-related differences in the presence of midgut volvulus, the interval between diagnosis and operation, and clinical symptoms. The age of the patient should be considered in order to determine adequate treatment of malrotation.

본 연구는 위하수가 비만도에 따른 상관관계를 분석하여 오래 전부터 알려 지고 있는 여성일수록, 마른 체형일수록, 체중이 낮을수록 많다는 것을 현재 시점에서 비교 분석하고자 한다. 2006년도 성인병 건강 검진 대상자 중 부산시 내에 소재 하는 건강검진 시행 의료기관 1개 기관에 내원하는 성인병 건강 검진자 중에서 2006년 1월 1일부터 6월 30일까지 상부위장관조영술을 시행한 성인병 건강 검진자를 대상으로 하였으며, 이 기간 동안 조사된 위하수증 584예와 같은 기관 동안 위하수증이 없는 자 중 무작위로 남, 여 나이 별로 각 73명씩 584예를 선정하였다. 체형은 표준 체중표를 이용하였고 비만도 계산은 Broca식 계산법을 이용하였고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 여자가 514명/584명, 남자는 70명/584명로 여자가 위하수가 많았다. 2. 위하수는 정상범위($90{\sim}109%$)에서 남(54.3%), 여(56.4%) 같이 가장 많은 것으로 나타났고 다음이 남자는 90% 미만이, 여자는 $110{\sim}119%$로 나타났다. 3. 위하수의 연령별 비만도 분포에서는 $50{\sim}59$세에서 남녀 동일하게 많았다.
