  • The examination using diagnostic x-ray equipment is one of the most useful diagnostic equipment for identifying information in the human body in diagnostic radiology. For this reason, the number of examinations has recently increased a lot. Increasing the number of examinations will accelerate the aging of the device. In addition, this makes them aware of the importance of quality control for the diagnostic x-ray device. Particularly, in a diagnostic x-ray device, quality control refers to an act of always maintaining a certain level of image quality by identifying and correcting all problems that may lead to reduction of the diagnosis area in advance. Therefore, this study summarizes and reports general information about quality control in examinations using diagnostic x-ray equipment.

  • 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.

  • Diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator needs high voltage input power when operated, if electric power conditions are not suitable, could not use diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator or could not use normally by abnormal working. If diagnostic X-ray system operated with abnormally by electric power conditions, it cause of difficulty of patient diagnosis. And we used auxiliary power with battery to operate diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator without using normal electric power. We made one device after designing of new electric circuit and we compared normal power X-ray system with battery powered X-ray system by described method in this thesis. And then we found characteristic and efficiency of diagnostic X-ray high voltage generator by different input power condition.

  • Most diagnostic devices in the medical field use X-ray sources, which emit energy spectra. In radiological diagnosis, the quantitative and qualitative analyses of X-rays are essential for maintaining the image quality and minimizing the radiation dose to patients. This work aims to obtain the X-ray energy spectra used in diagnostic imaging by Monte Carlo simulation. Various X-ray spectra are simulated using a Monte Carlo simulation tool. These spectra are then compared to the reference data obtained with a tungsten anode spectral model using the interpolating polynomial (TASMIP) code. The X-ray tube voltages used are 50, 60, 80, 100, and 110 kV, respectively. CdTe and a-Se detector are used as the detectors for obtaining the X-ray spectra. Simulation results demonstrate that the various X-ray spectra are well matched with the reference data. Based on the simulation results, an appropriate X-ray spectrum, in accordance with the tube voltage, can be selected when generating an image for diagnostic imaging. The dose to be delivered to the patient can be predicted prior to examination in the diagnostic field.

  • In this paper, the PAE of tube voltage of 93 diagnostic X-ray units those are using at the 19 general hospitals and 9 local clinics in the area of Sungnam, Inchun, and Seoul have been surveyed. The results are summarized as following. 1. PAE of tube Voltage 70, 100KV at the 56 (60%) X-ray units were ${\pm}7%$ below, at the 8 units (9%), were ${\pm}7%$ above, and those 29 X-ray units (31%) were ${\pm}7%$ below or above with the 70, 100KV tube Voltage in a unit. 2. PAE ${\pm}7%$ below were 68 X-ray units, at the low tube voltage (70KV), and 76 X-ray units at the high tube Voltage (100KV). 3. For six year-use abofe, used X-ray units were PAE ${\pm}7%$ above, and so, the longer used years the more X-ray units became declined in those performance. 4. PAE of tube Voltage were better efficiency at the large capacity 30 X-ray units than small capacity 10. 5. PAE ${\pm}7%$ abovein were only 8 units among 84 diagnostic X-ray units in the general hospitals.

And ratio of icreased in X-Ray examinations by year was 11.09 per cent. [2] Regarding the examined portion of X-Ray examination, a great propotion was chest examination as 56.88 per cent. [3] An average, the required time per case in X-Ray exam. was 9.28 minutes and make used of 1.94 sheets of X-Ray film per case in radiography. [4] An average, ratio of increased in X-Ray film by year was 12.71 per cent and ratio of failed film in it was 2.23 per cent. [5] The frequency rate of film size showed the highest distribution of $8"{\times}10"$(28.17%) and the highest distribution of X-Ray film by month was July(8.93%). [6] An average, the amount of activities per a diagnostic X-Ray equipment was 34.92 case and make used of 67.81 sheets of X-Ray film in a day. [7] The mean number of case in X-Ray examinations by radiologic technologists was 29.29 cases and make used of 56.87 sheets of X-Ray film in a day.

  • In this paper, ROC curves were designed by using Fuzzy Logic Systems. ROC curve is used for diagnostic evaluation and the person evaluating ROC curve is chosen as a first-level diagnostician. For rating diagnostic capability on ROC curve through learning, the chest X-ray image is used. The images used for making a diagnosis are X-ray film being both noise and signal. The result over diagnostic capability difference between the male and the female represented a man had better than a woman but that difference can be ignored.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study is to offer a new approach to diagnostic X-ray in perspective of Chuna manual medicine for clinical application. Methods : Characteristics of each malposition in X-ray were analyzed comprehensively, based on the listing system. By verifying these results, find out the methods of X-ray diagnosis according to the each malposition. Results : 1. Vertebral malposition can be explained by alignment and relative position of vertebral body in the X-ray. To obtain more accurate estimation of subluxation, features of other structures should be considered, such as spinous process, intervertebral foramen and disc space. 2. Pelvic malposition can be determined by relative location of anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) in the X-ray. Also other pelvic parameters should be utilized to make a diagnosis of sacral malposition. Conclusions : Diagnostic X-ray should be applied to many clinicians for reasonable Chuna manual medicine application. And further studies are needed to use the diagnostic X-ray in the perspective of Chuna manual medicine.

  • High voltage transformer of Diagnostic X-ray system has been contributed to wiping out disease to get a good quality images from patients. High voltage transformer of diagnostic X-ray system has been usefully used for diagnostic purpose but if high voltage transformer performances are deteriorated, low quality image will be archived. In this case, operator has to exposure to get a more good quality images. In this case, unexpected radiation could be exposed to patient and it is very harmful to the patient. And I would like to design and make equipment to checkable high voltage transformer performance after that I wish to test and study what it is most influences in radiation output quality.
