인체 연조직에서 기계적인 진동의 전달 특성은 조직의 탄성 특성에 의존한다. 연조직의 진동 특성으로부터 암이나 종양을 진단할 수 있기 때문에 진동의 전달 특성에 대한 연구는 중요한 의미를 가진다. 이 논문은 연조직의 표면에 위치하는 여러 형태의 응력 진동원에 의해 연조직 내에 발생되는 변위 패턴을 분석하고 비교하였다. 진동원으로는 수직하중, 접선하중, 그리고 면외전단하중이 고려되었다. 점탄성 단일층에서의 변위에 대한 이론적 표현식을 구하였고, 수치계산은 반공간 및 무한평판조직에서 수행되었다. 그리고 유한크기조직에서의 변위패턴을 유한요소법으로 시뮬레이션하였다. 응력 형태, 진동원 크기 및 주파수, 그리고 경계면이 변위에 미치는 영향이 분석되었다.

Purpose: To perform real-time quantitative measurements of penile rigidity for patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) using shear-wave elastography (SWE). Materials and Methods: A total of 92 patients with clinically diagnosed ED filled out an abridged five-item version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire and underwent SWE as well as penile color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) after intracavernosal injection for penile erection. Elasticity measurements were repeated on two sites of the corpus cavernosum (central and peripheral elasticity of corpus cavernosum [ECC]) and the glans penis during the erection phase. Correlations between penile elasticity and rigidity scores or IIEF-5 were evaluated statistically. Penile elasticity was also compared with the ED types based on CDUS. Results: The mean age of all patients was 53.5±13.4 years, and the mean IIEF-5 score was 9.78±5.01. The rigidity score and central ECC value demonstrated a significant correlation (r=-0.272; 95% confidence interval: -0.464 to -0.056; p=0.015). The IIEF-5 score was not significantly correlated with penile elasticity. Vascular ED patients showed significantly higher central ECC values than nonvascular ED patients (p<0.001). At a cut-off value of 8.05 kPa, the central ECC had a specificity of 41.5%, a sensitivity of 84.6%, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.720 with a standard error of 0.059 (p=0.019) for predicting vascular ED. Conclusions: Quantitatively measuring Young's modulus of the corpus cavernosum using SWE could be an objective technique for assessing penile erectile rigidity and the vascular subtype in patients with ED.

본 연구에서는 원호의 내부벽면에 1열로 배열된 어레이 트랜스듀서를 이용한 반사-투과형 생체진단용 역산란 초음파 단층화상법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법에서는 대상 물체의 배면에 반사판을 배치하여 경면효과를 이용하였고, 유한 대역을 갖는 펄스파를 송신파로 사용하여 다중 주파수 성분을 이용함으로써 데이터 관측 범위를 줄일 수 있었다. 제안된 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용한 모의 생체 조직에 대한 유효성을 검토한 격과, 트랜스듀서군의 송수신 각도 범위가 30도로 극히 좁은 범위로 제한되었음에도 불구하고 정량적인 화상재현이 가능함을 확인할 수 있다.

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effects of the stenting shapes on flow velocity and wall shear stress in angulated coronary stenosis by computer simulation. Coronary angiogram and Doppler ultrasound measurement in the patients with angulated coronary stenosis were obtained. Inlet wave velocity distribution obtained from in vivo intracoronary Doppler data was used for the numerical simulation. Spatial pattern of blood flow velocity and recirculation area were drawn through out the selected segment of coronary models. Wall shear stresses in the intracoronary stent models were calculated from three-dimensional computer simulation. A negative shear stress region, which is consistent with re-circulation area on flow pattern, was noted on the inner wall of post-stenotic area of pre-stenting model. The negative shear stress was disappeared after stenting. Shear stress in the post-stenting model was markedly reduced up to about two orders of magnitude compared to that of the pre-stenting model.

This paper proposes an ultrasonic measurement method for measurement of linear interfacial stiffness of contacting surface between two steel plates subjected to nominal compression pressures. Interfacial stiffness was evaluated by using shear waves reflected at contact interface of two identical solid plates. Three consecutive reflection waves from solid-solid surface are captured by pulse-echo method to evaluate the state of contact interface. A non-dimensional parameter defined as the ratio of their peak-to-peak amplitudes are formulated and used to calculate the quantitative stiffness of interface. Mathematical model for 1-D wave propagation across interfaces is developed to formulate the reflection and transmission waves across the interface and to determine the interfacial stiffness. Two identical plates are fabricated and assembled to form contacting surface and to measure interfacial stiffness at different states of contact pressure by means of bolt fastening. It is found from experiment that the amplitude of interfacial stiffness is dependent on the pressure and successfully determined by employing pulse-echo ultrasonic method without measuring through-transmission waves.

초음파 B스캔너의 경우 광대역 펄스를 사용하기 때문에 광학에서 사용되는 집속 계산식으로는 초음파 집속 시스템을 정확하게 설계할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 초음파 다중소자에 광대역 펄스가 여기될 때 초음파의 전파모양을 정확하게 계산할 수 있늘 방법이 연구되었다. 계간된 초음차의 전파 모양을 이용하여 고해상력을 갖는 다이나믹 집속(dynamic focusing)시스템의 구동소자수, 집속치로 지연값 및 집속점 위치등을 설계하도록 하였다. 저잡음 스튀칭 특성을 갖는 다이나믹 집속 시스템을 구성하여 실험에 의해 3.5MHz선형소자로써 18cm의 깊이까지 2∼3mm의 해상도가 얻어짐을 확인하였다.

The present study is to evaluate the performances of flow velocity and wall shear stress in the stenosed coronary artery using human in vivo hemodynamic Parameters and computer simulation. Initial and follow-up coronary angiographics in the patients with angulated coronary stenosis are performed. Follow-up coronary angiogram demonstrated significant difference in the percent of diameter in the stenosed coronary between two groups ($Group\;1:\;40.3{\%},\;Group\;2:\;25.5{\%}$). Flow-velocity wave obtained from in vivo intracoronary Doppler ultrasound data is used for the boundary condition for the computer simulation. Spatial and temporal variations of flow velocity vector and recirculation area are drawn throughout the selected segment of coronary models. The WSS of pre- and post-intracoronary stenting are calculated from three-dimensional computer simulation. Then negative shear stresses area on 3D simulation we noted on the inner wall of the post-stenotic area before stenting. The negative WSS is disappeared after stenting. High spatial and temporal WSS before stenting fell into within physiologic WSS after stenting. This finding was prominent in Model 2. The present study suggest that hemodynamic forces exerted by pulsatile coronary circulation termed WSS might affect on the evolution of atherosclerosis within the angulated vascular curvature. The local recirculation area which has low or negative WSS, might lead to progression of atherosclerosis.

액체/고체 경계면에서 후방 복사된 초음파의 주파수 분석에 의해 Si layer/mesh Au/Si substrate 시편에 존재하는 표면 탄성파의 주파수 의존성이 측정되었다. 사용된 광역 탐촉자(2, 5, 10MHz)의 주파수에 따라 다르게 나타난 후방 복사의 입사각 의존성은 이 현상이 표면 지역에 발생된 표면파로부터의 에너지 복사에 의한 것임을 보여주었다. 후방 산란된 초음파의 입사각 의존성을 연속적으로 측정하기 위한 초음파 각도계가 제작되었고 다른 비율의 구리 분말이 섞인 에폭시에 의해 접착된 Ni layer/Al substrate 시편에 대해 후방복사 세기의 입사각 의존성이 측정되었다. (5MHz) 후방 복사의 폭과 패턴은 표면파 속도의 주파수 의존성, layer 접합의 질 그리고 표면 지역의 구조 등 여러 정보를 가지고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

This study was performed to understanding on guidelines for using therapeutic modalities according to injury phases of soft tissue. Clinical decisions on how and when therapeutic modalities may be used should be based on recognition of signs and symptoms. as well as some awareness of the time frames associated with the various phases of the Healing process. The physical therapist must have a sound understanding of that process in terms of the sequence of the various process of healing stage. The results of this study are as follows: 1. Once an acute injury has occured, the healing process consists of the imflammatory response phase, the fibroblastic-repair phase, and the maturation-remodeling phase and can impede by various pathologic factors. 2. Modality use in the initial acute injury phase and the inflammatory response phase should be directed toward limiting the amount of swelling and reducing pain. 3. Modality use in the Fibroblastic repair phase may be change from cold to heat. The purpose of heat is to increase circulation to the injured area to promote healing. 4. During the Maturation-Remodeling phase, some type of heating modalities, ultrasound, or short wave and microwave diathermy should be used to increase circulation to the deeper tissue. In this phases, physical therapists must control training and conditioning habits to allow the injury to heal sufficiently.
