The purpose of this study is to verify the usefulness of X-ray simulator which uses a visible light source for further study. We developed a small experimental equipment which is composed of three main components - source, localizer and detector. Cartesian coordinate was set in 3D space, and the position of target was assumed the origin of the coordinate. The light from the source passes directly through the target, and projection image is formed on the screen, which can be taken with the digital camera. Since projection images were acquired behind the screen, they were flipped over right and left. By examining the characters of visual light source and equipments, it could be concluded that developed system was useful for experimental purpose.

제품의 고성능 사양을 위해 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 구조를 갖는 제품들이 일상에서 자주 등장한다. 대표 제품은 주변에서 쉽게 접할 수 있는 전자제품의 반도체 칩이다. 반도체 칩 소자 구조는 크기를 줄이는 것 외에도 적층을 통해 소자의 집적도를 높이는 방향으로 진화를 하고 있다. 복잡한 구조로 인해 발생되는 여러 반도체 결함 중에 TSV 결함은 현재 진화하는 반도체 칩의 구조를 대변하는 대표 결함이다. 이 결함을 효율적으로 검출하고 다루기 위해서는 초미소 크기(Nano Size)의 결함을 비파괴적인 방법으로 가시화하고 분석하는 장비가 필요하다. X-ray 시스템은 이러한 요구를 해결하는 훌룡한 한 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 X-ray 시스템의 구성 및 위의 TSV 결함을 검출하고 분석하기 위한 시스템의 특징에 대해 설명을 한다. X-ray 시스템은 크게 X선을 발생시키는 X선튜브와 대상 물체를 투과한 X선을 영상화하는 디텍터, 대상물체의 영상화를 위해 물체를 적절하게 구동시키는 이동장치로 구성되어 있다. 초미소크기(Nano Size)의 결함 검출을 위해서는 X선 튜브, 디텍터, 이동장치에 요구되는 사양의 복잡도, 정밀도는 이러한 시스템의 개발을 어렵게 만든다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 시스템을 개발 시에 시스템 핵심 요소의 특징을 분석한다.

The X-ray device used for medical treatment is classified into fixed type that is used by installing at the location with the stable power supply and mobile type that can be taken by moving the X-ray device to the location where a patient is. Mobile X-ray device which is typically used in the mobile type of X-ray can be used very usefully beyond the space restriction. However, due to its difficulty to generate high-voltage, it is mainly applied to take hand and foot shootings which only need low output power. In this study, by designing and producing the large volume of mobile X-ray device which doesn't have the limitations on diagnostic areas of the body, the operating characteristics of device according to the loading change was identified.

We investigated X-ray radiated from the pulsed Plasma Focus device that translated from electric energy into electromagnetic wave by electric discharge. X-ray radiation is analysed by using pin photodiode and 0.5mm pinhole camera shielded by $25{\mu}m$ Be. The condition of X-ray radiation was that the discharging voltage was 15 kV and the working gas were 0.12 torr Argon. Reproducibility of X-ray radiation is investigated and X-ray temperature is calculated above 3keV.

The purpose of this study is to measure the tube voltage, the tube current/volume, exposure time and exposure dose of diagnostic X-ray unit in each doctor offices, hospitals and general hospitals for evaluating the performance of such device, to learn the method and technology of its measurement and to suggest its importance. Research subjects were total 30 X-ray units and divided into groups of 10 X-ray units each. The tube voltage, the tube current/volume, exposure time and exposure dose were measured using percentage average error, and then reproducibility of exposure dose was measured through calculating coefficient of variation. The results are like followings; The tube voltage correctness examination showed that incongruent devices among total 30 X-ray units were 5 devices (16.7%). The tube current correctness examination showed that incongruent X-ray units were 3 devices (10.0%). The tube current volume correctness examination showed that incongruent X-ray units were 4 devices (13.3%). Finally, according to exposure time correctness examination, incongruent X-ray units were 5 devices (16.7%) and according to reproducibility examination of exposure dose, incongruent X-ray units were 7 devices (23.3%). Above results showed serious problem in performance management based on management regulation of diagnostic X-ray unit; it means that regular checkout and safety management are required, and as doing so, patients will be able to receive good quality of medical service by the reduction of radiation exposure time, image quality administration, unnecessary retake and etc. Therefore, this study suggests that the performance of diagnostic X-ray units should be checked regularly.

원통형 장치가 달린 검사대에 눕는다. 검사대가 원통 안으로 이동하면 X선, 혹은 자기장이 발생해 검사를 진행한다. X선을 이용하는 CT검사는 5분남짓, 자기장을 이용하는 MRI검사는 30분 남짓 걸린다. 치료보다는 '진단'을 중시하는 요즘, CT나 MRI는 우리 몸 구석구석을 들여다보고 진단에 도움을 주는 일반적인 검사로 통하고 있다.

X-ray equipment used to diagnose a patient has a big defect of a patient's exposure to radiation caused in irradiating X-ray to the human body, ICRP restricts the permissible exposure dose of the human body. A number of studies has been proceeded to reduce these exposures. In this study the high voltage generator with inverter system, which is possible to increase the generation efficiency of X-ray and to control the precise output power was produced. Also, to minimize the ripple which is possible to occur in the direct voltage that is applied to X-ray tube the propagation rectification method was applied and the radiation reproducibility and properties were evaluated to use this for the diagnosis of patient.
