In this study, we have fabricated a scintillating fiber-optic dosimeter for a radiotherapy dosimetry. And ${\gamma}$-rays generated by a Co-60 are measured using a scintillating fiber-optic dosimeter and percent depth dose curves are obtained according to the different depths of solid water phantoms. Also, Cerenkov radiations generated by primary or secondary electrons are measured at different depths of water phantom using a background optical fiber.

The radiosurgery treatment is one time, non surgical approach to the treatment of patients with intracranial disorders whose conditions would be difficult or dangerous to treat with conventional sugical procedures. The LINAC based radiosurgery is based on the combination of multiple isocentric arc irradiation with small fields centered in the stereotactic target. The absorption of the beam in a tissue equivalent medium, such as water, as well as the uniformity, or profile, of the beam must be precisely documented. The beam characteristics and dosimetric measurememts of the 6MV X-ray beam from a ML-6M linear accelerator are examined. The percent depth dose (PDD) and beam profile (including flatness, symmetry and penumbra) is calibrated with the radiosurgery cone in water phantom. The cone is made of lead which size is from $10{\times}10mm{\phi}$ to $30{\times}30mm{\phi}$ All of these dosimetric measurements sufficiently characterized the beam to permit safe clinical use.

위성을 이용한 원격탐사 기술이 발전하고 다양한 산출물이 나타남에 따라 수자원 및 하천관리에서의 원격탐사기술의 활용의 폭이 넓어지고 있다. 특히, 위성에서 관측할 수 있는 다양한 정보들을 이용하여 수자원 및 하천관리에 사용하려하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 기본적인 가시영상 이외에도 적외영상, 초분광영상, 수위정보, 레이더 반사도 등을 활용하여 수문량을 추정하려는 시도가 이루어져왔다. 원격탐사의 대표적인 장비인 위성은 광범위한 정보를 쉽게 취득할 수 있지만 위성마다 탑재된 센서에 따라 획득할 수 있는 자료가 서로 다르고, 산출물의 시공간 해상도에 따라 자료의 질이 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 원격탐사영상을 이용한 하천유량추정기법을 수립하기 위해 통제된 실험하천 규모에서 드론을 이용하였다. 실험은 대한민국 안동에 위치한 한국건설기술연구원 하천실험센터에서 수행되었으며, DJI Phantom 3 standard 드론을 활용하여 영상을 획득하였다. 하천유량추정의 방법론은 운동량 방정식과 Manning 유속공식을 활용한 하폭기반 유량추정 기법을 수립하였다. 1차 실험은 하천유량을 증가시키고 감소시키는 동시에 드론을 이용하여 하천을 촬영함으로써 하폭의 변화와 동시에 유량의 변화를 추정할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 2차 실험에서는 배수효과가 존재하는 조건에서 드론영상을 이용한 하천유량을 산정하고 보정계수를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 수립된 하천유량추정기법은 위성영상을 이용한 하천유량 추정에 활용할 수 있으리라 기대한다.

A new in vivo high resolution imaging method which is performed with a newly developed three channel surface gradient coil (SGC) is described. The surface gradient coil can produce more than an order of magnitude stronger gradient fields with good linearity within a limited imaging region. To increase the signal to noise ratio (SNR), we have developed an RF coil integrated surface gradient coil set. In this paper, the geometrical structures and characteristics of the proposed surface gradient coil are discussed and experimentally obtained high resolution images ($50\;{\mu}m$ to $100\;{\mu}m$) of a water filled phantom and a human volunteer's knee using the new surface RF coil integrated SGC set are presented for the demonstration of the in vivo high resolution imaging capability of the new imaging method.

A Gaussian distribution was parametrized for the initial distribution of the electron beam emitted from a 6MeV medical linear accelerator. A percent depth dose was measured in a water phantom and the corresponding Monte Carlo calculations were performed starting from a Gaussian distribution for a range of standard deviations, ${\sigma}=0.1$, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, and 0.3 with being the mean value for the Incident beam energy. When measurement and calculation were compared, the calculation with the Gaussian distribution for ${\sigma}=0.25$ turned out to agree best with the measurement. The results from the present work can be utilized as input energy data in planning an electron beam therapy with a Monte Carlo calculation.

In the clinical application of ultrasonic hyperthermia, selective heating of tumor is essential and thus precise control of ultrasonic intensity in both tumor and normal tissue is needed. In this paper, a hexagonal array transducer for ultrasonic hyperthermia is designed and manufactured of which focal point and focal region can be ocntrolled by the digital phase control circuit proposed by authors. Profiles of the focussed ultrasound beam in water and those of temperature in phantom were determined. The experimental and computed results are in good agreement.

Measured and calculated the TMR and SMR factors from percent depth dose underpartial attenuators which cover the whole part of the radiation beam with variousfilter thickness from 0 to 50 mm. This study was performed for x-ray beams generated with a 6 MV linear acceleratorat source to surface distance of 100cm in a water phantom for Lipowitz metal. TMR(0,d,t) was derived from non-linear polynomial regression with field sizedifferencies and a given filter thickness. In this experiments, the TMR(0,10,50) of 50mm of filter thickness was showed13.6 % higher than that of open field and SMR(5,10,50) was 38.5% smaller than thatof open field in same depth.

A Klystron powered dual photon energy electron linear accelerator 2300 C/D from Varian Associates has been installed in our center. From the radiological safety view as well as treatment planning, the output (contamination) of Bremsstrahlung Radiation with electron beam energy determined accurately. It has been found 0.5% to 4.7% with increasing the electron beam energy which is the clinically not much significant in the treatment of the malignant diseases with the treatment of electron beam.

The aim of presentation is to obtain the beam parameters for tratment planning of steretactic radiosurgery. The dosimerical parameters such as TMR, scatter factor, and OAR was measured using diode, film, micro ion chamber, and thimble chanber for water phantom scanning. The results were compared each other. As a result, we determined OAR from film and scatter factor and TMR from diode as a basic data for treatment planning.

Bubble behaviors in a circular tube have been analyzed numerically and experimentally by a three-dimensional tomography method, Initially, a multiplicative algebraic reconstruction technique (MART) which showed better results for previous studies of numerical simulations has been performed to confirm the accuracy of the three-dimensional reconstruction for the two-phase flow using a computer-synthesized phantom, Then, bubble behaviors have been investigated experimentally by the three-dimensional MART method using real projected data captured simultaneously by a laser and three CCD cameras for three angles of view, Also, the transient reconstructions have been attempted to analyze the real-time oxygen-bubble movements in water by the interval of 1/30 second.
