  • Purpose: The purpose of this report is to describe the proton therapy system at Samsung Medical Center (SMC-PTS) including the proton beam generator, irradiation system, patient positioning system, patient position verification system, respiratory gating system, and operating and safety control system, and review the current status of the SMC-PTS. Materials and Methods: The SMC-PTS has a cyclotron (230 MeV) and two treatment rooms: one treatment room is equipped with a multi-purpose nozzle and the other treatment room is equipped with a dedicated pencil beam scanning nozzle. The proton beam generator including the cyclotron and the energy selection system can lower the energy of protons down to 70 MeV from the maximum 230 MeV. Results: The multi-purpose nozzle can deliver both wobbling proton beam and active scanning proton beam, and a multi-leaf collimator has been installed in the downstream of the nozzle. The dedicated scanning nozzle can deliver active scanning proton beam with a helium gas filled pipe minimizing unnecessary interactions with the air in the beam path. The equipment was provided by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Ltd., RayStation from RaySearch Laboratories AB is the selected treatment planning system, and data management will be handled by the MOSAIQ system from Elekta AB. Conclusion: The SMC-PTS located in Seoul, Korea, is scheduled to begin treating cancer patients in 2015.

  • In this paper, we've studied on the Breakdownpatterns which hove an effect on Down-Time of Medical Equipment. This study is based on the statistics of MMS(Maintenance Management System) accumulated since the opening of Samsung Medical Center. We hope that this paper, which is acquired through the analysis about the seasonal feature, the work pattern feature and the period used, is useful to reduce a term of Down-Time and to retrench hospital management cost.

  • Microscopic polyangiitis is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis that is associated primarily with necrotizing glomerulonephritis and pulmonary capillaritis. A recurrent and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage due to pulmonary capillaritis is the main clinical manifestation of lung involvement. Recently, and interstitial lung disease that mimics idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis was reported to be rarely associated with microscopic polyangiitis. Here we report two patients with microscopic polyangiitis who showed a honeycomb lung at the time of the initial diagnosis with a brief review of relevant literature.
