By using the buildup characteristics of the radiophotoluminescence glass dosimeter(RPLGD), it is aimed to help the measurement of the accurate dose by measuring the radiation dose according to the time of the glass element. Five glass elements were arranged on the table and the source to image receptor distance(SID) was set to 100 cm for the build-up radiation dose measurement of the fluorescent glass dosimeter glass element(GD-352M). Radiation doses and saturation rates were measured over time according to irradiation time, with the tube voltage (30, 60, 90 kVp) and tube current (50, 100 mAs) Repeatability test was repeated ten times to measure the coefficient of variation. The radiation dose increased from 0.182 mGy to 12.902 mGy and the saturation rate increased from 58.3% with increasing exposure condition and time. The coefficient of variation of the glass elements of the fluorescent glass dosimeter was ranged from 0.2 to 0.77 according to the X - ray exposure conditions. X - ray exposure showed that the radiation dose and saturation rate were increased with buildup characteristics, and degeneration of glass elements was not observed. The reproducibility of the variation coefficient of the radiation generator was included within the error range and the reproducibility of the radiation dose was excellent.

전산화단층촬영에서 조영 증강을 위한 조영제 주입은 정맥내에 삽입한 카테터를 통해 자동주입기로 주입하고 있다. 정맥내에 위치한 카테터를 제거하는 도중에 IV 카테터가 부러져 정맥내에 남아 있는 카테터의 조각은 환자에게 순환기 질환의 위험을 초래할 수 있다. CT 검사 중에 정맥내에 카테터 조각이 남아있는 2명의 환자를 대상으로 카테터의 크기 및 위치를 정확히 확인하기 위해 MDCT를 이용하여 정맥내 주사부위를 스캔하였다. 3D 재구성은 MPR, MIP, 볼륨렌더링, SSD 등으로 구성하였다. 정맥내에 위치한 카테터 조각을 MDCT로 스캔한 데이터를 3D 재구성으로 정맥내의 위치 및 크기를 확인하였고, 카테터 조각을 제거하는데 일조하였다. Catheter fragment and embolism are both potentially serious complications associated with the use of an intravenous (IV) catheter for contrast media bolus injection, and may be followed by serious or lethal sequelae. Though catheter fragment is a rare complication of IV catheter insertion, especially in peripheral veins, CT can be used to detect residual fragment. This study demonstrates the utility of MDCT to localize a small, subtle peripheral venous catheter, which can be easily reformatted of MDCT reformations. Various 3D techniques such as MPR and MIP, volume rendering, and shaded-surface displays are currently available for reconstructing MDCT data. Advances in MDCT technology contribute substantially to the detection and accurate localization of smaller IV catheter fragment.

To assess the ability of an extravasation defection accessory (EDA) to detect the clinically important extravascular Injection of iodinated contrast material that was delivered with an automated mechanical power injector. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of this device during clinically important episodes of extravasation. The EDA system was composed of a strain gage, an amplifier and a computer-based system. In the rabbit experimental cases, there were seven true-positive cases (range of the extravasation volumes: $14{\sim}23 ml$). The algorithm results showed seven true-positive cases (range of the extravasation volumes: $7{\sim}16ml$), nineteen true-negative cases, two false-positive cases and no false-negative cases. The EDA system had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 90% for the detection of clinically important extravasation.

Convolution Kernel의 종류에 따른 CT 감약계수 및 노이즈 측정에 관한 연구

권대철,유병규,이종석,장근조,Kweon, Dae-Cheol,Yoo, Beong-Gyu,Lee, Jong-Seok,Jang, Keun-Jo 대한디지털의료영상학회 2007 대한디지털의료영상학회논문지 Vol.9 No.1

영상 획득과 재구성 방법에 따라 CT 감약계수는 다양성을 보이고 관심 영역의 노이즈는 정밀도에 영향을 준다. 인체에서 간 실질조직과 위장의 물의 CT 감약계수와 노이즈를 커널에 따라 측정하였다. 다중채널 CT 스캐너를 이용하여 복부를 스캔 하였고, 커널은 B10 (very smooth), B20 (smooth), B30 (medium smooth), B40 (medium), B50 (medium sharp), B60 (sharp), B70 (very sharp), B80 (ultra sharp)으로 재구성하여 간의 실질 조직과 물이 들어 있는 위장 부위를 ROI 기능을 이용하여 평균의 CT감약계수와 표준편차인 노이즈를 측정하여 영상을 비교하였다. 간의 실질 조직에서 CT감약계수는 커널에 따라 60.4에서 69.2 HU사이에서 분포하여 차이가 없었으나, 노이즈는 커널(7.6$\sim$63.8 HU)이 높아질수록 증가하였다. 물의 CT감약계수는 -2.2 HU에서 0.8 HU사이에서 측정되었고, 노이즈는 커널(10.1$\sim$82.4 HU)이 높아질수록 증가하였다. 영상의 질을 높이기 위해서는 검사 부위에 따라 노이즈를 감소하기 위해 적절한 커널을 선택하여 CT 검사를 하여야 한다. Our objective was to evaluate the CT attenuation coefficient and noise of spatial domain filtering as an alternative to additional image reconstruction using different kernels in abdominal CT. Derived from thin collimated source images was generated using abdomen B10 (very smooth), B20 (smooth), B30 (medium smooth), B40 (medium), B50 (medium sharp), B60 (sharp), B70 (very sharp) and B80 (ultra sharp) kernels. Quantitative CT coefficient and noise measurements provided comparable HU (hounsfield) units in this respect. CT attenuation coefficient (mean HU) values in the abdominal were 60.4$\sim$62.2 HU and noise (7.6$\sim$63.8 HU) in the liver parenchyma. In the stomach a mean (CT attenuation coefficient) of -2.2$\sim$0.8 HU and noise (10.1$\sim$82.4 HU) was measured. Image reconstructed with a convolution kernel led to an increase in noise, whereas the results for CT attenuation coefficient were comparable. Image medications of image sharpness and noise eliminate the need for reconstruction using different kernels in the future. CT images increase the diagnostic accuracy may be controlled by adjusting CT various kernels, which should be adjusted to take into account the kernels of the CT undergoing the examination.

CT 조영제 혈관외유출의 방사선학적 고찰

권대철,박창희,정재호,강희두,송은홍,Kweon, Dae-Cheol,Park, Chang-Hee,Jeong, Jae-Ho,Kang, Hui-Doo,Song, Woon-Heung 대한디지털의료영상학회 2008 대한디지털의료영상학회논문지 Vol.10 No.2

Extravasation of contrast material is a not infrequent complication of enhanced imaging studies and large volume extravasation may result in severe damage. Subcutaneous extravasation of the radiographic contrast medium is one of the complications of the contrast medium-enhanced procedures. Automated power injectors enable the contrast material to be delivered at a uniform high-flow-rate and as a nonfragmented bolus, and this is essential for many contrast material enhanced CT(computed tomography) applications. The major risk associated with the use of automated power injectors is the well known complication of contrast material extravasation at the injection site. Automated injection of CT contrast material can produce the compartment syndrome. Selection of the nonionic contrast material after careful evaluation of the intravenous administration site and monitoring of the patient during the use of a mechanical power injector may help minimize or prevent extravasation injuries. Early identification is important and conservative management is effective in most cases. Prevention of these injuries with the education of radiological technologist remains the ultimate aim.

시간분석법에 의한 필름시스템과 PACS의 비교 연구 : CT촬영을 중심으로

권대철,정우진,정경모,이용우,이제호,Kweon, Dae-Cheol,Jeong, Woo-Jin,Chung, Kyung-Mo,Lee, Yong-Woo,Lee, Je-Ho 대한디지털의료영상학회 2002 대한디지털의료영상학회논문지 Vol.5 No.1

To evaluate the relative time required to perform a CT(computed tomography) examination in a filmless versus a film-based system and helical versus nonhelical studies. Time and Motion studies were performed in 175 consecutive CT examinations. Images from 85 examinations were electronically transferred to a PACS, and 90 were printed to film. The time required to obtain and electronically transfer the images or print the images to film and make the current and previous studies available to the radiologists for interpretation was recorded. The time required for a radiological technologist to complete a CT examination was reduced by 43% with the PACS compared with the film-based system and nonhelical was reduced 10-20% with helical studies. This reduction was due to the elimination of a transfer and printing, such as the printing at window or level settings. The use of PACS can result in the elimination of time tasks for the radiological technologist, resulting in marked reduction in examination time. This reduction can result in decreased cost and increased productivity in PACS operation.

We report a case of an accidental extravasation of contrast material. A large-volume extravasation occurred in an adult during spiral contrast-enhanced CT. The amount of contrast material extravasated was 47 ml. The patient had a swelling of the dorsum right hand. The extravasation injury site was determined by CT scanning. The extavasation case was examined using five separate display techniques: axial, multi planar reformation (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP), volume rendering, and shaded-surfaced display (SSD). This paper introduces extravasation with the CT and the three-dimensional appearance. 전산화단층검사에서 조영제를 자동주입기를 이용해 주입하여 검사하는 경우에 혈관 외 유출된 성인환자를 대상으로 하였다. 환자의 혈관외유출 사고의 조영제 양은 47 ml로 오른쪽 손목 부위가 부종을 동반하였다. 혈관외유출된 손상부위를 axial 스캔하여 MPR (multi-planar reformation), MIP (maximum intensity protection), volume rendering, SSD (shaded-surface display) 기법으로 구성하였다. 이러한 3D 영상은 조영제의 혈관외유출 환자의 예방 및 사후 조치에 적절한 치료계획의 방법으로 기대된다.
