This study was aimed at resolving uncertainties about lamellar tearing initiation temperatures and studying the effect of nonmetallic inclusions on the tear initiation. In order to measure the lamellar tearing initiation temperature, the slice bend test was conducted in the temperature range of 20.deg.C to 425.deg.C on A572 Grade 50 and A588 Grade A steels. In addition, the weld restrain test was carried out to measure directly the tear initiation temperature with A572 steel. In slice bend tests, A572 steel showed the most susceptible region to lamellar tearing to be in the range of 100 to 300.deg.C, where the steel showed the minimum ductility. The observed tear initiation by the weld restraint test was to be in the range of 200to 300.deg.C. The tears became narrower and less rounded at the susceptible temperatures. It was confirmed in this study that lamellar teraring initiated during cooling from welding in the range of 200 to 300.deg.C and they were initiated by strain aging embrittlement.

A simple and effective compression method is proposed for multiple-scan testing. For a given test set, each test pattern is compressed from the view of slices. An encoding table exploiting seven types of frequently-occurring pattern is used. Compression is then achieved by mapping slice data into codewords. The decompression logic is small and easy to implement. It is also applicable to schemes adopting a single-scan chain. Experimental results show this method can achieve good compression effect.

Purpose : To evaluate clinical usefulness of facial soft tissue thickness measurement using 3D computed tomographic images. Materials and Methods : One cadaver that had sound facial soft tissues was chosen for the study. The cadaver was scanned with a Helical CT under following scanning protocols about slice thickness and table speed; 3 mm and 3 mm/sec, 5 mm and 5 mm/sec, 7 mm and 7 mm/sec. The acquired data were reconstructed 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 mm reconstruction interval respectively and the images were transferred to a personal computer. Using a program developed to measure facial soft tissue thickness in 3D image, the facial soft tissue thickness was measured. After the ten-time repeation of the measurement for ten times, repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was adopted to compare and analyze the measurements using the three scanning protocols. Comparison according to the areas was analyzed by Mann-Whitney test. Results : There were no statistically significant intraobserver differences in the measurements of the facial soft tissue thickness using the three scanning protocols (p>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences between measurements in the 3 mm slice thickness and those in the 5 mm, 7 mm slice thickness (p>0.05). There were statistical differences in the 14 of the total 30 measured points in the 5 mm slice thickness and 22 in the 7 mm slice thickness. Conclusion : The facial soft tissue thickness measurement using 3D images of 7 mm slice thickness is acceptable clinically, but those of 5 mm slice thickness is recommended for the more accurate measurement.

The present study analyzes T1 TSE and T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid) signal strength according to the degree of gadolinium contrast agent dilution and analyzes the turbo factors with regard to changes in the maximum and overall signal strength to study correlations between changes and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and compare peak-to-peak SNR (PSNR) enhancement in order to improve the quality of T1-weighted images. Enhancement TR (600 msec) evaluated to determine the T1 TSE turbo factor and obtain the maximum signal strength, T1WI were used sequentially to experiment with turbo factors_1-4. T1 slice sel. IR (dark-fluid) was used to sequentially test turbo factors_2-5 but not turbo factor_1 at a TR (1500 msec) and compare data at an increase in T1 of 900 msec. The T1 TSE was reduced according to the contrast agent concentration. Phantom signal strength increased, whereas turbo factors_1-4 exhibited maximum signal strength at a concentration of 3 mmol, followed by a gradual decrease. In the turbo factors_2-5, the signal strength increased sharply to maximum signal strength at 0.7 mmol, followed by a reduction. T1 TSE had a greater maximum signal strength than did T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid). A comparison of SNR found that T1 TSE imaging was superior (33.3 dB) in turbo factor_1 and T1 slice sel. IR (dark_fluid) was highest (33.9 dB) at turbo factor_5. A PSNR comparison analysis was not sufficient to distinguish between the images obtained with both techniques at 30 dB or higher under all experimental conditions.

Objectives : Indirect moxibustion is one of the thermotherapy in Korean medicine and buffer of ginger and mankshood slice are common materials to be used. However it is difficult to control the power of thermal stimulation and the stimulation is greatly influenced by the characteristic of buffer. So we research on the buffer characteristic of indirect moxibustion according to the thickness, diameter and water content changes. Methods : We used thermocouples to measure temperature from surface to depth of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm on tissue model and calculated peak temperature($^{\circ}C$). The data were analyzed with student t-test and one-way ANOVA(p<0.05). Results : 1. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with ginger were determined by thickness of ginger slice and temperature changes according to the thickness at intervals of 1mm but according to the diameter at intervals of 4mm. 2. The peak temperature of indirect moxibustion with mankshood were determined by thickness of mankshood slice also. The peak temperature of mankshood moxibustion was higher than that of ginger moxibustion. 3. In this study, 2mm-thick-ginger slice and 3mm-thick-mankshood slice were suitable for indirect moxibustion. Variation in the thickness of which is more efficient to control the power of thermal stimulation on indirect moxibustion. 4. The more water loss we got on ginger slice, the higher peak temperature we measured at the surface of moxibustion. But the thermal stimulation was not conducted more than 2mm in the depth. 5. The thickness and water content of buffer are important in indirect moxibustion. Conclusions : The temperature of indirect moxibustion depends on the thickness of buffer than the diameter of it. Therefore, it is more efficient according to the thickness of buffer so that we control the power of thermal stimulation. And water content of buffer is one of the important factor in indirect moxibustion.

목적: 자기공명혈관조영술(magnetic resonance angiography: MRA)을 이용하여 뇌동맥류를 비침습적 방법으로 진단하고자 하는 시도가 있었지만 크기가 3mm 이하인 경우 진단에 애로가 많았다. 뇌동맥류의 진단에 있어 최근 개발된 고해상도, 고속의 slice interpolation 자기 공명혈관조영술과 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술(digital subtraction angiography: DSA)의 결과를 전향적으로 비교하여 보편적인 선별 검사법으로 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 총 19명의 환자에서 26개의 뇌동맥류를 대상으로 하였다. 모두 자기공명혈관조영술을 먼저 촬영하여 기원혈관, 동맥류경부의 확인, 인근 작은 혈관과의 연관관계등을 확인한 후 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술을 시행하여 비교하였다. 영상은 1.5T 초전도형기계(Vision, Siemens, erlangen, Germany)를 이용하여 slice interpolation 을 이용한 자기공명혈관조영술로 촬영하였다. 촬영은 TR / TE / FA = 30 / 6.4 / 25, matrix $512{\times}160$, 관찰면 $200{\times}150$, 촬영시간 7분 42초, 유효 두께 0.7mm, 총 두께가 102.2mm로 하여 대공(foramen magnum)에서 전뇌동맥(anterior cerebral artery)의 A3 부위까지 충분히 포함되도록 하였다. 영상분석은 최대강도투사(maximum intensity projection: MIP)를 사용하였으며 두개강내 동맥류가 있는 경우 다면재구성(multiplanar reconstruction: MPR) 기법을 사용하였다. 결과: 19명의 환자중 2명이 3개, 3명이 2개, 나머지 14명이 각각 1개씩의 두개강내 동맥류를 가져 모두 26개 였으며 파열된 동맥류가 14개였고 파열되지 않은 동맥류가 12 개이었다. 크기가 2mm 이하가 8개, 3-5mm가 9개, 6-9mm가 7개이며 10mm이상이 2개가 있었다. 처음 검사에서 자기공명혈관조영술과 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술에서 23개의 동맥류중 내경동맥에 1mm 크기의 동맥류 1개를 제외한 25개를 각각 발견할 수 있어 96%의 예민도를 보였으나 진음성과 위음성은 없어 특이도를 측정할 수 없었다. 크기와 모양을 확인하는데 자기공명혈과조영술과 다면재구성을 동시에 사용한 경우 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술과 같은 성적을 보인 반면 동맥류 경부와 기원혈관을 확인하는데도 자기공명혈관조영술의 다면재구성을 동시에 사용한 경우가 자기공명혈관조영술 또는 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술만 사용한 경우 보다 월등히 좋았다. 결론: Slice interpolation 기법을 이용한 고해상 자기공명혈관조영술은 두개강내 동맥류를 검사하는데 디지탈 감산 혈관조영술과 동일한 성적을 보여 앞으로 비침습적 일차 선별 검사법으로 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

인체조직등가 팬텀과 유리선량계를 활용하여 최근 임상에서 사용되고 있는 이용 128채널 MDCT과 4채널 MDCT의 복부 촬영시 피폭선량과 획득영상의 화질을 평가하였다. 복부 CT 검사 시 흡수선량은 4-MDCT에서 $35.8{\pm}0.46mGy$, 128-MDCT에서 $19.03{\pm}0.25mGy$로 나타나 진단에 의미있는 영상을 획득하는데 필요한 방사선량은 128-MDCT가 적게 요구되는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). MDCT를 이용한 복부 검사에서 획득한 영상을 Likert 5점 척도로 분석한 결과 4-MDCT 경우가 3.52점의 결과를 보였으며, 128-MDCT경우 4.01점의 결과를 나타내어 128-MDCT의 영상의 질이 높게 평가되었으며 통계적으로도 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<0.05). 이상의 결과에서 128-MDCT는 방사선피폭량을 줄일 수 있고 높은 영상의 질을 얻을 수 있어 향후 많은 이용이 될 것으로 사료된다.
