Purpose: This study was performed to assess the compatibility of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) synthesized cephalograms with conventional cephalograms, and to find a method for obtaining normative values for three-dimensional (3D) assessments. Materials and Methods: The sample group consisted of 10 adults with normal occlusion and well-balanced faces. They were imaged using conventional and CBCT cephalograms. The CBCT cephalograms were synthesized from the CBCT data using OnDemand 3D software. Twenty-one angular and 12 linear measurements from each imaging modality were compared and analyzed using paired-t test. Results: The linear measurements between the two imaging modalities were not statistically different (p>0.05) except for the U1 to facial plane distance. The angular measurements between the two imaging modalities were not statistically different (p>0.05) with the exception of the gonial angle, ANB difference, and facial convexity. Conclusion: Two-dimensional cephalometric norms could be readily used for 3D quantitative assessment, if corrected for lateral cephalogram distortion.

The radiosurgery treatment is one time, non surgical approach to the treatment of patients with intracranial disorders whose conditions would be difficult or dangerous to treat with conventional sugical procedures. The LINAC based radiosurgery is based on the combination of multiple isocentric arc irradiation with small fields centered in the stereotactic target. The absorption of the beam in a tissue equivalent medium, such as water, as well as the uniformity, or profile, of the beam must be precisely documented. The beam characteristics and dosimetric measurememts of the 6MV X-ray beam from a ML-6M linear accelerator are examined. The percent depth dose (PDD) and beam profile (including flatness, symmetry and penumbra) is calibrated with the radiosurgery cone in water phantom. The cone is made of lead which size is from $10{\times}10mm{\phi}$ to $30{\times}30mm{\phi}$ All of these dosimetric measurements sufficiently characterized the beam to permit safe clinical use.

This study suggests a small-sized screw decanter specialized for dredging sites. Generally, conventional screw decanters are composed of a cylinder and a cone. However, the suggested screw decanter simply has a cone based on a cone-type bowl structure. In this research, a commercial analysis tool is used to establish an optimal design for the bowl and the screw conveyor. Moreover, the base frame, where the main bearings that support the spindle of the bowl and the screw conveyor are installed, is optimally designed considering the weight of the rotating body and the deflection caused by the high centrifugal force. Furthermore, the natural frequency range of the spinning body, the bowl and the screw conveyor, is applied to this base frame; it is designed not to correspond to the resonance frequency range and achieves stability as a result. This study suggests an optimal design for the rotating body and the base frame of a screw decanter considering its vibration characteristics. Such a design will prevent overuse of materials and help to reduce the weight and volume-and the price-of a screw decanter.

Purpose: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides a lower dose and cost alternative to conventional CT, promising to revolutionize the practice of oral and maxillofacial radiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the absorbed and effective doses of Implagraphy and VCT (Vatech Co., Hwasung, Korea) and compare them with those of panoramic radiography. Materials and Methods: Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips were placed at 27 sites throughout the layers of Female ART Head and Neck Phantom for dosimetry. Implagraphy, VCT units, and Planmeca Proline XC panoramic unit were used for radiation exposures. Radiation weighted doses and effective doses were measured and calculated using 1990 and 2005 ICRP tissue weighting factors. Results: Effective doses in Sv (ICRP 2005, ICRP 1990) were 90.19, 61.62 for Implagraphy at maxillay molar area, 123.20, 90.02 for Implagraphy at mandibular molar area, 183.55, 139.26 for VCT and 40.92, 27.16 for panoramic radiography. Conclusion: Effective doses for VCT and Implagraphy were only about 2.2 to 4.5 times greater than those for panoramic radiography. VCT and Implagraphy, CBCT machines recently developed in Korea, showed moderately low effective doses.

Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate which of the following imaging methods best assessed misfit at the tooth-restoration interface: (1) bitewing radiographs, both conventional and digital, performed using a photostimulable phosphor plate (PSP) and a charge-coupled device (CCD) system; (2) panoramic radiographs, both conventional and digital; and (3) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Forty healthy human molars with class I cavities were selected and divided into 4 groups according to the restoration that was applied: composite resin, composite resin with liner material to simulate misfit, dental amalgam, and dental amalgam with liner material to simulate misfit. Radiography and tomography were performed using the various imaging methods, and the resulting images were analyzed by 2 calibrated radiologists. The true presence or absence of misfit corresponding to an area of radiolucency in regions subjacent to the esthetic and metal restorations was validated with microscopy. The data were analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the scores were compared using the Cohen kappa coefficient. Results: For bitewing images, the digital systems (CCD and PSP) showed a higher area under the ROC curve (AUROC) for the evaluation of resin restorations, while the conventional images exhibited a larger AUROC for the evaluation of amalgam restorations. Conventional and digital panoramic radiographs did not yield good results for the evaluation of resin and amalgam restorations (P<.05). CBCT images exhibited good results for resin restorations(P>.05), but showed no discriminatory ability for amalgam restorations(P<.05). Conclusion: Bitewing radiographs (conventional or digital) should be the method of choice when assessing dental restoration misfit.

탄성파 피에조콘 관입 시험(SCPTU)은 동적 물성을 포함한 지반의 공학적 특성 평가에 가장 유용 한 조사 기법 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 지반에 대한 실질적 활용 연구로서 국내 대표적 퇴적지층 발달 지역인 부산과 인천을 대상으로 각각 두 부지와 네 부지에서 SCPTU를 수행하였다. 현장에서 SCPTU로부터 획득한 파형 신호에 대해 교차법을 이용한 신호 판독을 실시하여 깊이별 전단파의 초기 도달 시점 및 그에 따른 깊이별 도달 시차를 결정하였다. 이를 토대로 Snell의 법칙에 근간한 굴절 전파경로법을 이용하여 전단파 속도(VS) 주상도를 도출하였으며, 대체로 깊이별 VS 분포는 콘 선단 저항력(qt) 분포 경향과 유사하게 나타났다. 인천 지역에서는 병행된 일반적인 다운홀 탄성파 시험에 비해 SCPTU를 보다 깊은 심도까지 효율적으로 수행할 수 있었다. 이와 더불어, 일반적인 CPTU 자료의 지진공학적 활용을 목적으로 SCPTU로부터 측정된 결과를 토대로 VS와 콘 관입 특성값의 상관관계를 분석 도출하였다. 다중 회귀 분석을 수행하여 전단파 속도와 콘 관입 특성값 중 네가지의 독립변수인 콘 관입 저항력(qt), 주면 마찰력(fs), 유효상재응력($\sigma$'v0), 간극수압계수(Bq) 간의 상호 관련성을 정량적으로 평가하였으며, 특히 흙 분류 지수인 Ic 값에 의하여 객관적으로 구분된 사질토 및 점토와 전체 토사에 대한 변수별 경험적 상관식을 제안하였다. SCPTU의 다운홀 탄성파 시험과 일반적인 CPTU의 대상 변형률 수준이 다름에도 불구하고 본 연구에서 도출 제안된 VS와 CPTU 특성값의 상관관계는 국내 퇴적 지반에 대한 VS의 예측에 매우 유용하였으며, 기존 해외 연구의 상관관계에 비해서도 높은 상관성을 보였다.> (p value<0.000) 낮춤으로써, 전통적인 2문 대칭 조사법보다 우수한 방법으로 확인되었다. 반면에 공용보상체의 사용은 평균 DII를 $3.7\%$ 낮추지만(p value=0.260) 평균 $D_{max}$는 거의동일 하여($0.3\%$ 감소, p value=0.867), 전통적인 방법보다 우수성이 크게는 없는 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 환자의 체곡선이 보상체와 잘 일치하는 경우에는 DII가 $18\%$까지 감소하였다. 결론 : Multistatic field 방법은 모든 환자에 대하여 선량분포의 균일성을 전반적으로 향상시키는 효과적인 방법으로 평가되는 반면 공용보상체의 사용은 보상체의 크기가 환자의 체 윤곽과 잘 일치하는 경우만 효과적으로, 적용의 범위에는 한계가 있는 방법으로 평가되었다.비교하여 계통에 따르는 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로 가임기 여성의 방사선 진단 및 치료시 Rugh의 10일 법칙을 적용하여 착상전기 방사선 조사로 인한 부작용들을 적극적으로 예방하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 생각한다.equirements of the prematured infants during the early weeks of life. 모든 치근단 수준에서 비표준화 medium 크기 master cone 사용군이 ISO 표준화 규격의 master cone 사용군에 비해 유의하게 높은 gutta-percha 면적비를 나타내었다 (p < 0.01). 비표준화 medium크기 master cone 사용군에서는 표준화 규격의 master cone 사용군에 비해 유의하게 적은 수의 accessory cone이 사용되었다 (p < 0.01). 대학생간에는 유의한 차이(p<0.05)가 인정되었

지반의 비배수강도 값 결정을 위하여 최근 콘 관입시험 결과가 많이 활용되고 있다. 그러나 비배수강도 값은 콘 계수 값에 절대적으로 의존하며, 해당 지역에 적합한 콘 계수 값의 결정을 위하여는 많은 시험결과의 축적 및 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 경기도 시화지구 북동지역 점성토 지반에 대하여 수행된 현장베인시험, 일축압축시험 및 비압밀비배수 삼축압축시험 결과를 이용하여 각 시험결과별 콘 계수 값을 산정하였으며, 이를 비교 분석하였다. 전통적 콘 계수 $N_{kt}$, $N_{ke}$, $N_e$ 및 새로운 콘 계수 $N_e$ 값들은 각각 12, 11, 3, 13으로 산정되었으며, $N_{{\Delta}u}$와 간극수압비 Bq 사이에 특정한 경향이 있음이 고찰되었다.

Purpose: Accurate monitoring of soil strength is a key technology applicable to various precision agricultural practices. Soil strength has been traditionally measured using a cone penetrometer, which is time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult to obtain the spatial data required for precision agriculture. To improve the current, inefficient method of measuring soil strength, our objective was to develop and evaluate an in-situ system that could measure horizontal soil strength in real-time, while moving across a soil bin. Methods: Multiple cone-shape penetrometers were horizontally assembled at the front of a vertical plow blade at intervals of 5 cm. Each penetrometer was directly connected to a load cell, which measured loads of 0-2.54 kN. In order to process the digital signals from every individual transducer concurrently, a microcontroller was embedded into the measurement system. Wireless data communication was used between a data storage device and this real-time horizontal soil strength (RHSS) measurement system travelling at 0.5 m/s through an indoor experimental soil bin. The horizontal soil strength index (HSSI) measured by the developed system was compared with the cone index (CI) measured by a traditional cone penetrometer. Results: The coefficient of determination between the CI and the HSSI at depths of 5 cm and 10 cm ($r^2=0.67$ and 0.88, respectively) were relatively less than those measured below 20 cm ($r^2{\geq}0.93$). Additionally, the measured HSSIs were typically greater than the CIs for a given numbers of compactor operations. For an all-depth regression, the coefficient of determination was 0.94, with a RMSE of 0.23. Conclusions: A HSSI measurement system was evaluated in comparison with the conventional soil strength measurement system, CI. Further study is needed, in the form of field tests, on this real-time measurement and control system, which would be applied to precision agriculture.

This paper introduces a novel display measuring instrument that allows accurate, spectro-radiometric measurement of the complete viewing cone while the measuring time is similar to that of a CCD camera with transform lens optics. Actually the new instrument, named POLYGONIOSCOPE, is orders of magnitude faster compared to a conventional spot spectrometer.
