This work was carried out to evaluate the basic performances for 4D CT, which employed continuously rotating conebeam. The performances were evaluated with the same method as the conventional CT, because the standard method of evaluating 4D CT has not yet been established, and we think this result was helpful to establish it. 4D CT can give dynamic volume imaging data continuously and with high-speed. The results were isotropic except for the evaluation of distortion in which small distortions gradually appeared as coming off the center of phantom in longitudinal direction.

Objectives: Because the amount of medical waste (i.e., health-care waste) generated in Korea is rapidly increasing and social concern against its safety is widespread, a number of issues related with medical wastes are being discussed. The purpose of this study is to compare diverse medical waste management systems worldwide and propose future directions of a medical waste management system in Korea. Methods: Literature review was conducted mainly on the WHO, and developed countries such as the European Union (Germany, Belgium and UK), Japan and the United States. For these countries, the data with respect to their systems for medical waste management ranging from the definition of medical waste to the whole processes of collection, transportation and disposal were summarized and compared. Results: The terminology and classification of medical wastes were not consistent for WHO recommendation, EU, Japan, US and Korea. Comparison of the collection, storage, transportation and disposal of medical waste showed that Korea had rather stronger regulations for medical waste management compared to developed countries including Belgium (Flanders region), Germany, Japan and the US. Considering that developed countries adopt rather flexible disposal system especially for general medical wastes which pose lower possibility of infection, Korean government could consider diversifying disposal methods other than incineration. It may also be very important to try to reduce the amount of medical wastes and enough capacity for off-site incineration are secured. Conclusion: Our study of international comparisons suggests that it is necessary to continue to identify advantages and disadvantages of the current medical waste management systems and establish more effective one in Korea.

Since the introduction of new health technology assessment in 2007, benefit coverage process of health insurance related to new health technology has become an upgraded system through the evidence-based decisions. As a result of enforcing this system for 10 years, however, there have been several rising concerns. It needs to support the insufficient evidence of medical technologies, introduce reassessment system for post management of market entry technologies, and improve evaluation methods and process. In addition, there is the possibility of emerging an unheard-of medical technology, fused various categories like artificial intelligence, robot, information technology, physics and life science in the fourth industrial revolution. Now, new updated system introduced to improve new technology assessment, such as 'limited health technology assessment system,' 'system for postponement of new health technology assessment,' 'one-stop service system,' and 'integrated operation of approval for medical devices and new health technology assessment.' Therefore it needs to prepare the improvement plan for new health technology assessment to be established more advanced system, and we have to resolve concerns by communication with various healthcare experts and patients now and for ever.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of kinematics of lower extremities and trunk in stance phase of walking according to turning direction. Methods: Ten university students (five male, five female) who were in their 20s (mean age was 20.6 years old) participated in this study. Participants did not have participants did not have any problem with skeletal muscular system. We used the "Qualisys motion capture system" for analysis of trunk and lower extremity movement in stance phase of walking according to turning direction. We collected data while subjects walked a distance of 10 m, and at the 6 m line, subjects were required to turn to the left side and the right leg was positioned in stance phase and the left leg was positioned in swing. For data analysis, the SPSS for Windows ver. 20.0 statistics program was used in performance of one way analysis of variance according to turning direction. Results: Significant difference of trunk and lower extremities was observed for turning direction according to walking cycle (p<0.05). Upper trunk movement showed a greater increase at three dimensions than lower trunk, and in heel off phase, pelvic movement showed a greater increase than lower trunk (p<0.05). In 45 degree and 90 degrees of turning direction, all movements of trunk and lower extremities were significantly different among three events of stance phase (p<0.05). Conclusion: We suggest that three-dimensional movement analysis of trunk and lower extremities during turning movement was very important in order to indicate increasing balance or walking ability for people with impaired movement or walking.

최근의 의료정책과 정보기술의 발달은 병원이 주변 환경에 맞춰 비용을 줄이고 의료의 질을 향상시킬 필요를 가지게 한다. 즉, 정책과 기술의 변화로 병원 업무가 단순한 진료비 계산과 보험청구중심에서 벗어나 경영정보시스템(MIS), 의료영상저장전송시스템(PACS), 처방전달시스템(OCS), 전자의무기록시스템(EMR), 의사결정지원시스템(DSS) 등이 개발되고 있다. 특히 유비쿼터스 네트워크 및 관련기술과의 융합은 의료정보시스템을 의료 IT의 관련 정보시스템들과 통합되는 방향으로 진화해가고 있으며, 앞으로도 그 가속도는 더할 전망이다. 이러한 변화와 인터넷 환경의 발달은 의료정보 시스템의 근본적인 변화를 요구한다. 모바일 의료정보시스템은 기존에 의료정보 환경에서 구축되었던 병원의 시스템을 PDA 등의 모바일 환경으로 구축하는 것을 말한다. 기존 시스템의 모바일 네트워크 환경을 통해 언제, 어디서든지 의료진의 접근이 가능하게 됨으로써 업무의 효율을 높임은 물론이고 실시간 업무 처리 및 유지보수 비용의 절감을 통한 수익성 증대에도 중대한 역할을 하게 된다. RFID는 자동인식 및 데이터 획득 기술로 사람의 작업이나 판단을 궁극적으로 제외하고 객체가 갖고 있는 정보를 자동적으로 취득, 온라인으로 관련 데이터를 자동처리 시스템 구현의 핵심요소 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 응용 서비스가 실용화하고 있는 실정에서 통합의료정보시스템을 위한 환자 진료의 서비스 강화를 도모하도록 RFID 기반의 서버 및 모바일 클라이언트 의료정보시스템을 구현하고, 실제 병원내의 여러 디바이스가 연결된 데이터베이스를 통합적으로 관리하는 환자진료 및 실시간 원무 관리의 자동화를 위한 태그 매니저(Manager)와 기존의 EMR, HIS, PACS의 호환을 위한 DB 서버 에이전트를 설계 및 구현하였다. 다양한 의료정보시스템에서 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 환경을 위한 모바일 의료정보시스템의 RFID 응용시스템 은 환자의 진료카드에 태그를 부착하여 기본적인 환자의 접수, 진료, 검사의 대기시간의 단축을 위한 데이터를 처리한다.

Background: The legal and academic definitions of manual therapy in domestic and foreign countries are reviewed, and problems and improvement plan of manual therapy are established through comparative analysis of the current status and system of manual therapy in Korea and abroad. Design: Review. Methods: In this study, the development direction of manual therapy in Korea was derived by analyzing the definition, application status, and service system of domestic and foreign manual therapy. Results: Firstly, it lays the foundation for a more comprehensive national health promotion by solving problems arising from the current unclear definition of manual therapy. Secondly, the subject of manual therapy is a physiotherapist but the subject of claiming non-benefit costs is a doctor, moreover illegal manual therapy by an unqualified or non-professional who is not a physiotherapist is being carried out in the medical field. Thirdly, in order to provide quality physiotherapy services (manual therapy) under a cooperative relationship between medical staff and physiotherapists, it is appropriate that physiotherapist have a clear "prescription" or "request" by a doctor. Fourth, there is no provision for the preparation of medical records in the current Medical Technicians Act, and this causes safety accidents of patients during manual treatment. Conclusion: As described above, the current manual therapy in Korea is being performed indiscriminately without a clear interpretation, resulting in various problems. I think it is necessary to lay the foundation for institutional and legal re-establishment of manual therapy through additional research on manual therapy in the future.
