Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) obtained using dual-layer dual-energy CT (DL-DECT) for evaluating brain tumors. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 32 patients with brain tumors who had undergone non-contrast head CT using DL-DECT. Among them, 15 had glioblastoma (GBM), 7 had malignant lymphoma, 5 had high-grade glioma other than GBM, 3 had low-grade glioma, and 2 had metastatic tumors. Conventional polychromatic images and VMIs (40-200 keV at 10 keV intervals) were generated. We compared CT attenuation, image noise, contrast, and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between tumor and white matter (WM) or grey matter (GM) between VMIs showing the highest CNR (optimized VMI) and conventional CT images using the paired t test. Two radiologists subjectively assessed the contrast, margin, noise, artifact, and diagnostic confidence of optimized VMIs and conventional images on a 4-point scale. Results: The image noise of VMIs at all energy levels tested was significantly lower than that of conventional CT images (p < 0.05). The 40-keV VMIs yielded the best CNR. Furthermore, both contrast and CNR between the tumor and WM were significantly higher in the 40 keV images than in the conventional CT images (p < 0.001); however, the contrast and CNR between tumor and GM were not significantly different (p = 0.47 and p = 0.31, respectively). The subjective scores assigned to contrast, margin, and diagnostic confidence were significantly higher for 40 keV images than for conventional CT images (p < 0.01). Conclusion: In head CT for patients with brain tumors, compared with conventional CT images, 40 keV VMIs from DL-DECT yielded superior tumor contrast and diagnostic confidence, especially for brain tumors located in the WM.

진단용엑스선장치의 방사선방어 관한 내용을 중심으로 국내 외 규격을 살펴보고 신-구 IEC규격을 비교하여 본 결과는 다음과 같다. 가장 최근에 발표된 IEC 60601-1-3 ; 2008 2nd Edition에 담긴 철학은 크게 두 가지로서, 제조된 진단용 엑스선장치에 의하여 촬영 받게 될 환자를 위하여 어떤 종류의 방사선(선질 : Radiation Quality)을 얼마나 주었는지(선량 : Radiation Dose)를 확실히 해야 한다는 것이며 또 그 장치를 이용하는 작업자를 위하여 누설방사선(Leakage Radiation), 잉여방사선(Residual Radiation), 떠돌이 방사선(Stray Radiation)을 최소화해야 한다는 것이다. 진단용 엑스선장치에 관한 국내규격을 개정하거나 다시 제정할 경우 다음과 같은 내용과과정이 필요하다고 사료된다. 1. 가급적 최신 개념이 담긴 국제규격(IEC Publication)에 맞추되 우리나라의 실정에 맞는 규격을 채택하여야 할 것이다. 즉 IEC 60601-1-3 ; 2008을 근간으로 하고 미국의 CFR, 일본의 JIS도 참고한다면 지금 보다 한층 진보한 규격을 만들 수 있을 것이다. 2. 방사선안전부분을 중점적으로 고시하는 것이 간결하다. 즉 전기 기계적 안전에 관한 사항(IEC 60601-1)은 식품의약품안전청 고시 제 2006-7호 "의료기기의 전기 기계적 안전에 관한 공통기준규격"을 준용해야 한다. 3. 급격한 고시의 변화는 바람직하지 않다. 즉 최근에 개정된 IEC 60601-1-3 ; 2008을 도입하여 바로 적용하지 않고, 일단 현 규격을 일부 개정하여 사용하면서 적응기간을 가질 필요가 있다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of case reports of the Journal of Korean Medicine for Obesity Research by the Case Report (CARE) guidelines. Methods: Case reports published in the Journal of Korean Medicine for Obesity Research from January 2013 to July 2018 were searched from Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS). We assessed the quality of reporting based on CARE guidelines. Results: A total of 8 case reports were finally included for the assessment. There was a deviation in the sub-item reporting rate by a maximum 75% and a minimum 57.14% in case reports. The 10 sub-items mentioned below, such as 'Timeline', 'Diagnostic challenges', 'Diagnostic reasoning including other diagnoses considered', 'Prognostic characteristics', 'Changes in intervention', 'Important follow-up diagnostic evaluations and other test results', 'Intervention adherence and tolerability', 'Adverse and unanticipated events', 'Patient perspective' and 'Informed consent' were reported below 30%. Conclusions: Efforts to diversify the subject of the case study and to apply appropriate reporting guidelines are needed to improve the quality of the case report contributed to the Journal of Korean Medicine for Obesity Research.

There are 4 types of equipment in diagnostic radiography. These are single phase, three phase, inverter type and condenser type X-ray generators. It is very confusing to make an adequate exposure factor and to know the usage of different type of X-ray generators. In this experiment, I explored a comparative study of outputs in 4 different type of X-ray units. I expect that this experiment could be helpful for manufacturer to make both the X-ray equipment better, In terms of Ideal exposure factors, thereby reducing the patient dose. Experimental results are as follow : 1) X-ray output The ratio of X-ray output of single, three phase and inverter type of X-ray generator was 1 : 1.6 : 2 without absorber and 1 : 2 : 2.6 with 20 mm aluminium absorber. 2) Beam quality The X-ray beam quality of single phase generator was proved to be softer than three phase and inverter type of generators by 0.4 mmAL and 0.55 mmAl HVL respectively. 3) Reproducibility Linearity of X-ray output Retroducibility of X-ray output met the regulation below CV 0.05 and linearity also met the regulation below 0.1 in 4 types of diagnostic X-ray generators. 4) The comparison of incident dose Three phase X-ray generator was 20% higher than two other X-ray generators in radiation dose to make same film density.

Magnetic resonance imaging is a technique specialized in soft tissue imaging with high contrast resolution without in vivo ionization and has been widely used in various clinical settings. In particular, the recent increase in social stress factors has been used in the diagnosis of pituitary adenoma, the incidence increases rapidly. Recently, due to the development of magnetic resonance imaging, it is possible to diagnose micro pituitary adenoma, but despite the use of contrast medium, there has been a difficulty in diagnosing the pituitary adenoma due to its small size and noise. In order to solve this problem, a proposed method of separating signal components image and noise components image from a measured image is applied, and the improvement of diagnostic efficiency is attempted by removing noise. As a result, it was confirmed that the image quality was improved as a whole by applying SNR for 30 subjects data. It is expected that this study will be useful as a pre-processing method for improving the image quality and developing diagnostic indicators of pituitary adenoma.

진단용 디지털 의료영상(CT, MRI)의 경우 일반 영상에 비해 막대한 데이터양으로 인하여 저장과 전송에 많은 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하는 간단한 방법은 압축률을 증가시키는 것이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정확한 진단을 위한 임상적언 판단을 요구한다. 본 논문의 목적은 고주파대역에서 시각적 무손실 임계필터링을 수행하므로써 무손실 JPEG2000의 압축 효율을 향상시키는 것이다. 제안방식은 5/3 가역 DWT(Digital Wavelet Transfrom)을 사용하였을 때 압축률에 따라 다른 부대역 임계값을 사용하며, 재생된 진단 CT 영상에 시각적 무손실의 고품질을 제공한다.

Prior to destructive testing, diagnostic tests were performed in ten high voltage motors. Diagnostic tests included polarization infer, ac current, dissipation factor$(tan{\delta})$ and partial discharge magnitude. The rewind of motet slater insulation at rated voltage is assessed by the results of these tests. After completing the diagnostic tests, the stator windings of motors were subjected to gradually increasing ac voltage, until the insulation punctured. No. 8 motor failed near rated voltage of 19.0 kV. The breakdown voltage of No. 4 motet was 7.0 kV which is lower that expected for good quality coils in 6.6 kV class motors. The failure was located in a line-end coil at the exit from the core slot. These two motors began operation in 1994. While testing No. 7 motor, flashover occurred between the stator winding and the stator frame at 15 kV. The relationship between the diagnostic test and the drop in insulation breakdown voltage was analyzed.
