In this study, the dose of antimony shielding sheet was measured and the shielding rates according to the distance between the radioisotopes and the detector was analyzed according to the type of $^{99m}Tc$, $^{18}F$, $^{201}Tl$, $^{131}I$, $^{123}I$ using the antimony shielding sheet. The detector was used with an inspector. Six sheets of 0.25 mmPb were prepared with 20 cm width and length. Measurement results using $^{99m}Tc$, $^{201}Tl$, and $^{123}I$ showed that as the thickness of the sheet became thicker, the farther the distance from the source to the sheet was, the smaller the transmitted dose amount was measured. It was analyzed that a thickness of 1.50 mm or more was required to obtain a shielding rates of 90% or more. In the experiments of $^{18}F$ and $^{131}I$, the dose value was highest when 0.25 mm sheet was used, and the shielding rates was negative, unlike the results of other radioisotopes. Since $^{201}Tl$ are used when using antimony sheet and $^{18}F$ and $^{131}I$ have no shielding effect, it is thought that it is effective to reduce dose by repeating training and simulation training so that work can be done in a short time.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to reduce Entrance Surface Dose and maintain image quality by changing Source to Image receptor Distance. And we'd like to compare ESD on this study to DRLs in other contries. Materials and Methods : We used indirect DR system(Definium 8000, General Electric, USA)and phantom(ART-200X, Flukebiomedical, USA),glass dosimeters(GD-352M, Asahi Techno Glass, Japan)for this study. The imagies were obtained throuh 80kVp fixed, and different tube currents using AEC mode in $16{\times}16$(inch) field size and changing Source to Image receptor Distance from 100 cm to 130 cm per 10 cm unit. The phantom with attaching 5 glass dosimeters on abdomonal skin was set at supine and erect position as a anterioposterial projection on detector For measuring Entrance Surface Dose. Image analysis was conducted by histograms of Image J(1.46r) which was given from National Institutes of Health(NIH). Results : Due to inverse square law of distance, the tube currents were increasing 42.6 % in supine position and 32.6 % in erect position according to the change of Source to Image receptor Distance. While Entrance Surface Doses were rapidly decreasing 14.2 % in supine position and 29.4 % in erect position according to the change of Source to Image receptor Distance. As the results of histogram using Image J, pixel mean values from 100 cm to 110 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm were decreasing each 1.4%, 2.5%, 2.7%, 4.5%, 2.2 %, 5.8 % in supine, erect position. While standard deviations from 100 cm to 110 cm, 120 cm and 130 cm were increasing each 1.4 %, 2.5 %, 2.5 %, 4.0 %, 2.0 %, 4.9 % Consequently, there are no significant differences in abdomen images taken. Conclusion: As the results described above, we strongly recommend using long Sourceto Image receptor Distance than 100cm that we have been using. So, we should deliver less Entrance Surface Dose to the patients while maintaining image quality in abdomen radiography.

Modern distance sensing methods employ various measurement principles, including triangulation, time-of-flight, confocal, interferometric and frequency comb. Among them, the triangulation method, with a laser light source and an image sensor, is widely used in low-cost applications. We developed an omnidirectional two-dimensional (2D) distance sensor based on the triangulation principle for indoor floor mapping applications. The sensor has a range of 150-1500 mm with a relative resolution better than 4% over the range and 1% at 1 meter distance. It rotationally scans a compact one-dimensional (1D) distance sensor, composed of a near infrared (NIR) laser diode, a folding mirror, an imaging lens, and an image detector. We designed the sensor layout and configuration to satisfy the required measurement range and resolution, selecting easily available components in a special effort to reduce cost. We built a prototype and tested it with seven representative indoor wall specimens (white wallpaper, gray wallpaper, black wallpaper, furniture wood, black leather, brown leather, and white plastic) in a typical indoor illuminated condition, 200 lux, on a floor under ceiling mounted fluorescent lamps. We confirmed the proposed sensor provided reliable distance reading of all the specimens over the required measurement range (150-1500 mm) with a measurement resolution of 4% overall and 1% at 1 meter, regardless of illumination conditions.

목 적 : 일반적으로 10 MV이상의 광자선에서 산란 중성자를 발생시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 세관에 설치된 컨테이너 검색장치는 9 MV 이하였음에도 중성자가 누출되었다. 본 연구에서 의료기관에 설치된 방사선 치료기에서 산란 방출되는 중성자의 공간적인 측정을 통해 결과를 분석하고 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본 연구의 방사선 발생장치는 의료용 선형가속기(linear accelerator, linac: Varian, Clinac 1800, USA)를 사용하였다. 중성자 측정용 검출기는 중성자가 발생하면 기포(bubble)이 생기는 Bubble 검출기(Bubble detector, BDPND type, BTI, Canada)를 사용하였다. 의료용 선형가속기 주변에 Bubble 검출기를 isocenter로부터 30 cm, 50 cm, 120 cm의 각각 3가지 거리별로 isocenter 상하 방향 네 곳에 위치시켜 측정하였다. 주변 구조물의 영향을 살펴보기 위해 Wedge와 Mount를 장착 후 50 cm 거리에서 각각 8방향에서 측정하였다. 광자선원부터 isocenter 까지의 거리(SAD: source-axis-distance)를 100 cm로 기준을 정하고 조사면의 크기(field size)는 $15{\times}15cm^2$로 정하였다. 방사선은 20 MU를 조사하여 Bubble 검출기에 발생한 기포수를 측정하며 mrem값으로 계산하였다. 결 과 : Isocenter부터 거리가 30 cm와 50 cm 떨어진 곳의 각각 8개 측정 지점 중에서는 모두 5번 위치(Gantry 우측 아래지점)에서 측정된 산란중성자의 양이 같은 거리라도 가장 높게 측정되었다. Bubble 검출기가 Isocenter부터 120 cm 떨어진 경우와 wedge를 장착한 경우는 7번 위치(Couch 우측 아래지점), mount 탈착한 경우는 2번 위치(Gantry 왼쪽 윗지점)에서 산란 중성자가 가장 높게 측정되었다. 결 론 : 산란중성자의 측정에서 직선상 같은 거리에 있는 곳이라도, 실제 측정한 결과 값에 따르면 서로 상이한 값을 보였다. 주변 구조물도 산란 중성자에 영향을 미치며, 직선상은 같은 거리라도 각각의 지점에서 다른 값을 보였다. 따라서, 산란중성자의 거리에 따른 영향은 단순히 직선으로의 거리뿐 아니라 방향과 주변 구조물에 대한 영향까지 고려하며 공간적인 측정과 평가가 필요하다.

We introduce an x-ray micro tomography system capable of high resolution imaging of a local region inside a small animal. By combining two kinds of projection data, one from a full field-of-view (FOV) scan of the whole body and the other from a limited FOV scan of the region of interest, we have obtained zoomed-in images of the region of interest without any contrast a nomalies. We have integrated a micro tomography system using a micro-focus x-ray source, a $1248\times1248$ flat-panel x-ray detector, and a precision scan mechanism. Using the cross-sectional images taken with the zoom-in micro tomography system, we measured trabecular thicknesses of femur bones in postmortem rats. To compensate the limited spatial resolution in the zoom-in micro tomography images, we used the fuzzy distance transform for the calculation of the trabecular thickness. To validate the trabecular thickness measurement with the zoom-in micro tomography images, we compared the measurement results with the ones obtained from the conventional micro tomography images of the extracted bone samples.

이 논문은 천장형 에어컨의 기류가 화재감지기 작동에 미치는 영향을 분석한 연구이다. 천장형 에어컨의 기류를 형성시킨 가운데 화재감지기의 작동특성을 분석하기 위하여 ISO표준에서 규정한 방법으로 화재실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 10 m (가로) ${\times}$ 7 m (세로) ${\times}$ 4 m (높이) 크기의 화재실험장에서 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 화재감지기는아날로그식 열감지기와 아날로그 연기감지기이다. 화원으로는 열감지기 작동을 위해 n-heptane을 사용하였고, 연기 감지기 작동을 위해 면심지(Cotton)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과, 화재감지기의 응답은 기류가 없을 때는 화원으로부터 거리가 멀어질수록 늦어지는 패턴을 보이나, 강한 기류에서는 그 패턴이 유지되지 못한 것을 확인하였다. 천장형 에어컨 기류가 없는 경우에 비해 기류가 강한 경우에 응답시간이 연기감지기는 121%, 열감지기는 39% 늦어졌다. 천장형 에어컨이 설치된 장소에서는 화재감지기 개수를 늘려 풍구 4방향에 모두 설치하거나 감도가 뛰어난 감지기를 설치하는 것이 화재의 조기감지를 위해 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

A single-beam gamma densitometer is utilized to measure the average void fraction in a small diameter stainless steel pipe under critical flow conditions. A typical design of a single-beam gamma densitometer is composed of a sealed gammaray source, a collimator, a scintillation detector, and a data acquisition system that includes an amplifier and a single channel analyzer. It is operated in the count mode and can be calibrated with a test pipe and various types of phantoms made of polyethylene. A good average void fraction is obtained for a small diameter pipe with various flow regimes of the core, annular, stratified, and bubbly flows. Several factors influencing the performance of the gamma densitometer are examined, including the distance between the source and the detector, the measuring time, and the ambient temperature. The void fraction is measured during an adiabatic downward two-phase critical flow in a vertical pipe. The test pipe has an inner diameter of 10.9 mm and a thickness of 3.2 mm. The average void fraction was reasonably measured for a two-phase critical flow in the presence of nitrogen gas.

무질서 매질에서 형광, 산란과 응집의 영향은 파장과 산란된 형광세기로 나타내는데, laser induced fluorescence(LIF) 분광학에 의한 분자특성으로 나타난다. 산란매질에서 광학적 효과는 광학적 파라미터들(${\mu}_s$, ${\mu}_a$, ${\mu}_t$)에 의해 표현되고 응집은 고-액상 분리공정과 Photodynamic therapy에서 중요하게 활용되고 있다. 따라서 입자가 서로 접근될 때 콜로이드 입자들의 상호작용을 LIF와 응집효과로 분석하였다. 우리는 레이저 광원에서 검출기까지 거리의 함수에 의해 in vitro 시료의 산란과 형광 스펙트라를 측정하였다. 산란계수 ${\mu}_s$는 산란체의 입자가 증가함에 크게 나타났다. 그리하여 purple membrane vesicle과 ${\beta}$-carotene의 혼합물의 매질에서 광원에서 검출기에 의한 거리에 대한 측정된 값(I, ${\delta}$)이 거리가 가까워짐에 따라 크게 나타났다.
