Purpose: Diagnostic estimation of destruction and formation of bone has the typical limit according to capacity of x-ray generator and image detector. So the aim of this study was to find out how much it can reproduce the shape and the density of bone in the case of using recently developed dental type of cone beam computed tomography, and which image is applied by new detector and mathematic calculation. Materials and Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (PSR 9000N, Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co., Ltd., Japan) and soft x-ray radiography were executed on dry mandible that was already decalcified during 5 hours, 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, and 25 hours. Estimating and comparing of those came to the following results. Results: The change of inferior border of mandible and anterior border of ramus in the region of cortical bone was observed between first 5 and 10 hours of decalcification. The reproduction of shape and density in the region of cortical bone and cancellous bone can be hardly observed at cone beam computed tomography compared with soft x-ray radiography. The difference of decrease of bone density according to hours of decalcification increase wasn't reproduced at cone beam computed tomography compared with soft x-ray radiography. Conclusion: CBCT images revealed higher spatial resolution. However, contrast resolution in region of low contrast sensitivity is the inferiority of images' property.

The new spectrometer for X-ray Induced Electron Emission Spectroscopy (XIEES) .has been recently developed in KRISS in collaboration with PTI (Russia). The spectrometer allows to perform research using the XAFS, SXAFS, XANES techniques (D.C.Koningsberger and R.Prins, 1988) as well as the number of techniques from XIEES field(L.A.Bakaleinikov et all, 1992). The experiments may be carried out with registration of transmitted through the sample x-rays (to investigate bulk samples) or/and total electron yield (TEY) from the sample surface that gives the high (down to several atomic mono-layers in soft x-ray region) near surface sensitivity. The combination of these methods together give the possibility to obtain a quantitative information on elemental composition, chemical state, atomic structure for powder samples and solids, including non-crystalline materials (the long range order is not required). The optical design of spectrometer is made according to Johannesson true focusing schematics and presented on the Fig.1. Five stepping motors are used to maintain the focusing condition during the photon energy scan (crystal angle, crystal position along rail, sample goniometer rail angle, sample goniometer position along rail and sample goniometer angle relatively of rail). All movements can be done independently and simultaneously that speeds up the setting of photon energy and allows the using of crystals with different Rowland radil. At present six curved crystals with different d-values and one flat synthetic multilayer are installed on revolver-type monochromator. This arrangement allows the wide range of x-rays from 100 eV up to 25 keV to be obtained. Another 4 stepping motors set exit slit width, sample angle, channeltron position and x-ray detector position. The differential pumping allows to unite vacuum chambers of spectrometer and x-ray generator avoiding the absorption of soft x-rays on Be foil of a window and in atmosphere. Another feature of vacuum system is separation of walls of vacuum chamber (which are deformed by the atmospheric pressure) from optical elements of spectrometer. This warrantees that the optical elements are precisely positioned. The detecting system of the spectrometer consists of two proportional counters, one scintillating detector and one channeltron detector. First proportional counter can be used as I/sub 0/-detector in transmission mode or by measuring the fluorescence from exit slit edge. The last installation can be used to measure the reference data (that is necessary in XANES measurements), in this case the reference sample is installed on slit knife edge. The second proportional counter measures the intensity of x-rays transmitted through the sample. The scintillating detector is used in the same way but on the air for the hard x-rays and for alignment purposes. Total electron yield from the sample is measured by channeltron. The spectrometer is fully controlled by special software that gives the high flexibility and reliability in carrying out of the experiments. Fig.2 and fig.3 present the typical XAFS spectra measured with spectrometer.

의료 방사선은 환자의 진단 및 치료를 함에 있어 중대한 이득을 제공하지만 주변인에게 불필요한 피폭을 발생시킨다. 이에 본 연구에서는 환자와 일반인이 같은 공간 내 상주하는 다인 병실에 대해 선원항의 종류에 따른 공간선량률을 분석하고자 하였다. 실험은 몬테카를로 모의모사(MCNPX)를 이용하였으며, 선원항은 전신 뼈검사 환자와 이동형 X선 발생장치를 모사하였다. 실험결과 전신 뼈검사 환자의 측면 병상 위치에서 약 $3.46{\mu}Sv/hr$의 선량이 나타났으며, 이동형 X선 발생장치를 이용한 실험 결과, 흉부검사 시 측면 병상 위치에서 $1.47{\times}10^{-8}{\mu}Sv/irradiation$, 복부검사 시 측면 병상 위치에서 $2.97{\times}10^{-8}{\mu}Sv/irradiation$ 값이 나타났다. 이처럼 다인병실에서는 주변 환자에게 불필요한 방사선을 발생시키며, 국내의 미흡한 다인 병실의 방사선에 대한 법적인 규제 및 체계적인 차폐 방안이 마련되어져야 할 것이다.

Residual stresses induced in U-bending and tube-to-tubesheet joining processes of PWR's steam generator row-1 tube were measured by X-ray method and Hole-Drilling Method(HDM). The stresses resulting from the Internal pressure and the temperature gradient in the steam generator were also estimated theoretically. In U-bent lesions, the residual stresses at extrados were induced with compressive stress(-), and its maximum value reached -319 MPa in axial direction at ${\psi}=0^{\circ}$ in position. Maximum tensile residual stress of 170MPa was found to be at the flank side at Position of${\psi}=90^{\circ}$, i.e., at apex region. In tube-to-tubesheet fouling methods, the residual stresses induced by the explosive joint method were found to be lower than that by the mechanical roll method. The gradient of residual stress along the expanded tube was highest at the. transition region, and the residual stress in circumferential direction was found to be higher than the residual stress in axial direction. Hoop stress due to an internal pressure between primary and secondary side was analyzed to be 76 MPa and thermal stress was 45 MPa.

Hydrogen is considered a potential future energy source. Among other applications of hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water is emerging as a new health care product in industrial areas. Water electrolysis is typically used to generate a hydrogen rich water system. We annealed 10AA carbon paper in air to use it as an electrode of a hydrogen rich water generator. Driven by annealing, structural changes of the carbon paper were identified by secondary electron microscope analysis. Depending on the various annealing temperatures, changes of the hydrophilic characteristics were demonstrated. The crystal structures of pristine and heat-treated carbon paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Improvement of the efficiency of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction was measured via linear voltammetry. The optimized annealing temperature of 10AA carbon paper showed the possibility of using this material as an effective hydrogen rich water generator.

온열요법은 암치료에 있어서 방사선과 병용하였을 때 상호보완 작용을 하여 방사선에 저항성이 높은 세포주기의 S-기에 민감하게 작용하며 세포의 준치사손상의 회복을 저지시킴으로써 방사선의 효과를 상승시킬 수 있다. 저자는 100Watt, 2450MHz의 마이크로파 온열기구를 제작하고 조직등가인 판톰을 이용하여 예비측정과 방열조사 조건 및 방법을 계획한 후 생물학적 반응을 관찰하기 위하여 흰쥐 102마리를 이용하여 온열요법, X-선조사 (6Gy-15Gy) 및 선 조사와 온열요법을 병행하여 직장과 방광의 조직학적 소견을 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) 100Watt, 2450MHz의 소형마이코로파 온열발생장치로서 조직을 $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$로 유지하여 1시간 이상 가열할 수 있었다. 2) 조직온열분포는 깊이 3cm, 직명 2-10cm의 넓이에 $40{\sim}44^{\circ}C$의 온도분포를 계속 유지할 수 있었다. 3) 온열요법 단독으로는 직장의 점막하층의 부종을 볼 수 있었으나 방광의 조직학적 변화는 볼 수 없었다. 4) 점막상피괴사는 직장에 X-선조사 6Gy의 15일군에서, 방광에 8Gy의 15일군에서 각각 나타나기 시작하였으며, 근층괴사는 직장에 X-선조사 8Gy의 15일군에서, 방광에 10Gy의 60일군에서 각각 나타났다. 5) X-선조사와 온열요법병행군에서 직장과 방광의 조직학적변화 (점막과 근층의 괴사)를 관찰하여 열증강율은 1.0으로 증가되지 않음으로서 직장과 방광의 내용선량의 변화가 없음을 시사하였다.

Fundamental study on quasi-monochromatic parallel radiography using a polycapillary plate and a plane-focus x-ray tube is described. The x-ray generator consists of a negative high-voltage power supply, a filament (hot cathode) power supply, and an x-ray tube. The negative high-voltage is applied to the cathode electrode, and the transmission type target (anode) is connected to the ground potential. The maximum voltage and current of the power supply were -100 kV (peak value) and 3.0 mA, respectively. In this experiment, the tube voltage was regulated from 20 to 25 kV, and the tube current was regulated by the filament temperature and ranged from 1.0 to 3.0 mA. The exposure time is controlled in order to obtain optimum film density, and the focal spot diameter was about 10 mm. The polycapillary plate is J5022-21 made by Hamamatsu Photonics Inc., and the outside and effective diameters are 87 and 77 mm, respectively. The thickness and the hole diameter of the polycapillary are 1.0 mm and 25 ${\mu}$m, respectively. The x-rays from the tube are formed into parallel beam by the polycapillary, and the radiogram is taken using an industrial x-ray film of Fuji IX 100 without using a screen. In the measurement of image resolution, we employed three brass spacers of 2, 30, and 60 mm in height. By the test chart, the resolution fell according to increases in the spacer height without using a polycapillary. In contrast, the resolution slightly fell with corresponding increases in the height by the polycapillary. In angiography, fine blood vessels of about 100 ${\mu}$m are clearly visible.
