  • There are several reasons to take X-ray in case of inpatients. Some of them who cannot ambulate or have any risk if move are taken portable X-ray at their wards. Usually, in this case, many other people-patients unneeded X-ray test, family, hospital workers etc-are indirectly exposed to X-ray by scatter ray. For that reason I try to be aware of free space scatter dose accurately and make the point at issue of portable X-ray better in this study. kVp dose meter is used for efficiency management of portable X-ray equipment. Mobile X-ray equipment, ionization chamber, electrometer, solid water phantom are used for measuring of free space scatter dose. First of all the same surroundings condition is made as taken real portable X-ray, inquired amount of X-ray both chest AP and abdomen AP most frequently examined and measured scatter ray distribution of two tests individually changing distance. In the result of measuring horizontal distribution with condition of chest AP it is found that the mAs is decreased as law of distance reverse square but no showed mAs change according to direction. Vertical distribution showed the mAs slightly higher than horizontal distribution but it isnt found out statistical characteristic. In abdomen AP, compare with chest AP, free space scatter dose is as higher as five-hundred times and horizontal, vertical distribution are quite similar to chest AP in result. In portable X-ray test, in order to reduce the secondary exposure by free space scatter dose first, cut down unnecessary portable order the second, set up the specific area at individual ward for the test the third, when moving to a ward for the X-ray test prepare a portable shielding screen. The last, expose about 2m apart from patients if unable to do above three ways.

  • In order to assure safety of both patient and operator, and to provide uniform quality radiographs, it is necessary to perform periodic calibration of diagnostic X-ray equipment. A basic parameter of diagnostic equipment's and its image sharpness is the size(and shape the energy distribution) of the focal spot as viewed along the central X-ray beam. This size determines the resolution possible with the equipment and also determines the heat characteristics of an anode. A fine focus tube gives high resolution but causes high local heating of target. In past, the pin-hole and star pattern image measurement for evaluation of resolution have been widely used, but it produced blurring and inaccuracy of image. So newly inverted Ug-meter has advantage in more convenient measurement method and less out-put bias than other image measurement. The authors intended to compare measured focal size between Ug-meter and focal spot test tool, changed state from setting to now of units.

  • 골다공증은 45세 이상의 여성 50% 이상이 갖고 있는 질환이다. 더욱이 질병의 증상을 환자가 느끼지 못하여 병을 심화시키기 때문에 조기 진단으로 골다공증을 예방하는 것이 중요하다. 이를 위해 골밀도(Bone Mineral Density)의 효과적인 측정을 위한 다양한 연구가 국내외적으로 수행되고 있다. 골밀도 측정을 위해서는 X-선 영상이 활용되고 있으며, 이 중에서 이중 에너지 X 선 흡수법(DEXA)을 이용하여 골밀도를 측정하는 방법은 많은 관심을 받고 있는 분야이다. DEXA 영상은 서로 다른 두 에너지준위의 X선으로부터 영상을 획득함으로써 생체조직의 중첩에 의한 잡음을 효과적으로 줄여 진단효과를 높이는데 유용하다. 하지만, DEXA 영상에서 골영역을 추출하기 위해서는 실험적으로 계수를 결정해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 에너지 흡수 영상에서 골영역을 추출하기 위해 실험적으로 결정하는 변수를 X-선 영상의 물리적 의미와 각 에너지에 반응하는 생체조직들의 감쇠상수 특성을 기반으로 분석하여 골영역을 효과적으로 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 더불어 다양한 영상을 적용한 실험으로 제안한 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인하였다.

  • This study verified the relationship between fracture mechanics parameters(${\Delta}K,\;K_{max}$) and X-ray parameters ($(\sigma}_r,;B$) for G365 steel at elevated temperature up to $300{\circ}C$. The fatigue crack propagation test were carried out and X-ray diffraction technique according to crack length direction was applied to fatigue fractured surface. The residual stress on the fracture surface was found to increase in low ${\Delta}K$ region, reach to a maximum value at a certain value of $K_{max}$ or ${\Delta}K$ and then decrease. Residual stress was independent on stress ratio by arrangement of ${\Delta}K$ and half value breadth was independent by the arrangement of $K_{max}$. The equation of ${\sigma}_r-{\Delta}K$ was established by the experimental data. Therefore, fracture mechanics parameters could be estimated by the measurement of X-ray parameters.

  • Objectives: This study was carried out to investigate the relationship of leg length analysis and X-ray finding according to positions and valuation bases on diagnosis of pelvic malpositions. Methods: Twenty-two people who get $33.09{\pm}10.73$ as average were evaluated by leg length analysis and X-ray findings. After measuring innominate measurement(IM), femur head line. distance between S2 and posterior superior iliac spine(PSIS). ilium shadow measurement(ISM), major axis of obturator foramen(MaF), minor axis of obturator foramen(MiF) and distance between off centering measurement and symphysis pubis, those were analyzed. Results: 1. In assessment of posterior rotation malposition ilium(PI), it was showed the best coincidence between leg length analysis and X-ray analyzed by 1M in supine position(11 cases, 50.5%). 2. In assessment of inflare, coincidence index between leg length analysis and X-ray were not good($4.00{\pm}3.03$ cases, $18.15{\pm}13.82%$). And leg length analysis were not sensitive. 3. On the whole, coincidence index between leg length analysis and X-ray were not good(best: 1 case, 45.5%; worst: 11 cases, 50.0%). Conclusions: Results form this investigation showed the relationship of leg length analysis and X-ray according 10 positions and valuation bases on diagnosis of pelvic malpositions. This results are expected to contribute to establish method of assessment in diagnosis of pelvic malpositions.

  • The beam characteristics and dosimetric measurements of the 10MV X-ray beam from a Mevatron KD linear accelerator are examined. The Percent Depth Dose (POD) table and the Tissue Maximum Ratio (TMR) table are taken from measurement as a function of the field size and the depth. The calculated TMR table from PDD table is compared with those from measurement. Other beam characteristics such as output factor, beam profile (including flatness, symmetry and penumbra), wedge, and the variation of Dmax are presented.

  • 본 연구는 유리 선량계를 이용한 진단용 X선 장치 선량 및 선질의 입사표면선량 값과 선질 계수에 의한 계산 측정법을 바탕으로 비교 평가하여 의료 피폭 선량에 대해 연구하였다. 실제 측정에 의한 ESDs 값이 Mori에 의한 NDD-M 법에서 가장 큰 차이를 보였으며, Edmonds에 의한 계산법이 가장 적은 차이를 보였다. 또한 정류 방식에 따른 실 측정과 선량 계산법 차이는 삼상 정류 방식, 단상 정류 방식, 인버터 방식으로 차이가 적게 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 진단용 X-선 촬영 장치의 사용에 있어 환자의 피폭 선량을 예측하고 검사 조건을 조절하여 의료 피폭 선량을 절감할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Background: For proper monitoring of the eye lens dose, an appropriate calibration factor of a dosimeter and information about the mean energies of X-rays are indispensable. The scattered X-ray energy spectra should be well characterized in medical practices where eye lenses of medical staffs might be high. Materials and Methods: Scattered X-ray energy spectra were experimentally derived for three different types of X-ray diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, i.e., the computed tomography (CT) scan, the angiography and the fluoroscopy. A commercially available CdZnTe (CZT) spectrometer with a lead collimator was employed for the measurement of scattered X-rays, which was performed in the usual manner. Results and Discussion: From the obtained energy spectra, the mean energies of the scattered X-rays lied between 40 and 60 keV. This also agreed with that obtained by the conventional half value layer method. Conclusion: The scattered X-rays to which medical workers may be exposed in the region around the eyes were characterized by means of spectrometry. The obtained mean energies of the scattered X-rays were found to match the flat region of the dosimeter response.

  • 초크랄스키 실리콘 기판의 뒷면에 형성된 기계적 손상이 레이저 여기/극초단파 반사 광전도 감쇠법에 의한 소수반송자 재결합 수명 측정에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 기계적손상의 정도는 X-선 이중결정 회절법과 X-선 단면 측정법 및 습식산화/선택적 식각 방법으로 평가하였다. 그 결과, 웨이퍼 뒷면에 가해지는 기계적 손상의 세기가 강할수록 소수반송자 재결합 수명은 짧아지고, 소수반송자 재결합 수명 측정에 영향을 미치는 반치전폭의 임계값은 약13초임을 알 수 있다.
