위배출 시간 측정(Gastric Emptying Time, GET)은 비침습적이고 정량적 평가 방법으로서 주로 내시경이나 방사선적 검사로 기계적 폐쇄가 없음이 확인된 위정체 증상을 보이는 환자를 검사한다. 이와 같은 일반적인 위배출 시간 측정 검사 외에 식도암 환자(식도 절제술을 시행한)를 대상으로 수술 직후와 1년 이상의 시간이 지난 후의 위배출 시간 측정 검사를 시행하여, 수술 후 흉강내에서 위장 기능의 평가 자료로서 위배출 시간 측정 검사의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 본원을 내원해서 식도 절제술을 시행한 환자 93명을 대상으로 위배출 시간 측정 검사를 수술 직후와 1년 이상의 시간이 지난 후에 두 번 시행하였다. 환자의 검사 전 준비사항으로는 12시간 이상 밤새 공복과 약재나 흡연을 중단 시켜야 하고 당뇨병 환자는 인슐린 주사 후 아침 일찍 검사하는 것이 이상적이다. 검사 방법은 유동식의 위배출 시간 측정은 예민도가 떨어지므로 시행하지 않고, 고형식의 위배출 시간 측정 방법으로 $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$로 표지된 레진이 들어간 계란찜, 그리고 김밥과 점성이 높은 발효유와 함께 먹은 후 입위 자세로 3시간 동안 측정하였다. 검사의 평가 방법은 위배출 곡선 상에서 위내 방사능치가 50%가 되는 시간, 즉 반감기(T1/2)를 구하였고, 반감기가 180분 이상시 지연 위배출, 180분 이내는 중등도, 삼킴과 동시에 소장으로 넘어가는 경우를 급속 위배출로 구분하였다. 일반적인 위배출 시간 측정 영상은 위의 전정부와 위저부가 강하게 나타나는 영상에서 시간이 지남에 따라 소장으로 넘어가는 영상이지만, 식도 절제술을 시행한 식도암 환자는 흉강쪽에 강한 집적 영상을 보였다. 수술 직후 반감기(T1/2)는 급속 위배출이 12.9%, 중등도 위배출이 52.7%, 지연 위배출이 34.4%로 나타났다. 이후 1년 이상의 시간이 흐른 뒤의 반감기 결과는 수술 직후 급속 위배출 환자 중 67%가 중등도 위배출로, 지연 위배출을 보였던 환자는 69%가 중등도 위배출로 나타났다. 중등도 위배출을 보였던 환자 중 급속 위배출 이나 지연 위배출로 나빠진 경우는 24%이다. 식도 절제술을 시행한 식도암 환자의 위배출 시간 측정 검사는 반감기(T1/2)가 급속 위배출 및 지연 위배출에서 시간이 지날수록 중등도 위배출로 변하는 소견을 보였다. 이는 주로 위를 보는 위배출 시간 측정 검사가 흉강내의 식도를 대신하는 위장 기능의 평가에도 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 그리고 평가 기준을 세분화하고 검사의 시간 간격을 좁힌다면 좀 더 많은 정보와 분석으로 정확한 임상 진단과 평가가 이루어질 것으로 보인다. Purpose: Measure gastric emptying time (GET: Gastric Emptying Time) is a non-invasive and quantitative evaluation methods, mainly by endoscopic or radiological examination confirmed no mechanical obstruction in patients with symptoms of congestion is checked. Such tests are not common gastric emptying time measured esophageal cancer patients (who underwent esophagectomy) patients after surgery for gastric emptying time was measured test. And the period of time for more than one year after the gastric emptying time measurement was performed. By comparing the two kinds of tests in the chest cavity after surgery as the evaluation of gastrointestinal function tests evaluate the usefulness of GET, and will evaluate the characteristics of the image. Materials and Methods: 93 patients who underwent esophagectomy with gastric emptying time measurement of subject tests immediately after surgery and after 1 year or longer were twice. Preparation of the patient before the test is more than 12 hours of overnight fasting is important, in addition to the medicine or to stop smoking, and diabetes insulin injections should be early in the morning is ideal to test. Generally labeled with $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ resin which is used to make steamed egg, seaweed and fermented milk with a high viscosity after eating, three hours in the standing position was measured. Evaluation of gastric emptying curves on the way intragastric radioactivity level by 50% the time (half-time [T1/2]) was calculated, based on the half-life was divided into three steps: over 180 minutes was defined as delayed gastric emptying, within 180minutes was defined as intermediate gastric emptying and when all the radioisotopes were dumped into the jejunum as soon as swallowed, was defined as rapid gastric emptying. Results: Gastric emptying time of a typical images stomach of antrum and fundus additional images appear stronger over time move on to the small intestine. but esophageal cancer who underwent esophagectomy side of the thoracic cavity showed a strong image. Immediately after surgery, the half-time (T1/2) of rapid gastric emptying appeared to 12.9%, intermediate gastric emptying appeared to 52.7%, delay gastric emptying appeared to 34.4%. After more than a year the results of the half-life after surgery, 67% of rapid gastric emptying to intermediate gastric emptying was changed, 69% of delay gastric emptying to intermediate gastric emptying changed. Intermediate gastric emptying worse in patients rapid gastric emptying and the delay gastric emptying is 24% in the case. Conclusion: Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer who underwent half-time measurement test (T1/2) rapid gastric emptying and delay gastric emptying are the result of the comparison over time, changes were observed intermediate gastric emptying. Mainly seeing of gastric emptying time measurement in the esophagus instead of thoracic cavity to check the evaluation of gastrointestinal function can be useful even means. And segmentation criteria and narrow time interval of checking if more accurate information and analysis of the clinical diagnosis and evaluation seems to be done.

Purpose: Several radioactive agents were used for lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer. But recently, due to the change of local radiopharmaceutical licensing policy and discontinuation of supplies from manufacturer, we could not use many radiocolloids such as $^{99m}Tc$-Antimony Trisulfide Colloid, $^{99m}Tc$-Tin Colloid, $^{99m}Tc$-Human Serum Albumin. So it is necessary to use the substitution radiopharmaceutical. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the performance of substitution radiopharmaceutical ($^{99m}Tc$-Phytate) including the existing radiocolloids and to set up of the appropriate protocol in lymphoscintigraphy. Materials and Methods: For each radiocolloids ($^{99m}Tc$-Antimony Trisulfide Colloid (ASC), $^{99m}Tc$-Tin Colloid (TC), $^{99m}Tc$-Human Serum Albumin (HSA), $^{99m}Tc$-Phytate) were performed the particle size by Zeta Sizer (Nano-ZS) and we compared the radiolabeling time, procedure and acquisition time for each of the radiocolloids (total 200 patients). For the last time, we made an analysis of image for each of the radiocolloids with our previous report (SJ Jang et al, Korean Nucl Med Mol imaging Vol.41, No.6, Dec 2007). Results: The particle size of each radiocolloids showed A.S.C (50 nm), T.C (310 nm), H.S.A (10.8 nm), $^{99m}Tc$-Phytate (499 nm). The labeling and acquisition time for each of the radiocolloids showed no substantial difference. But there is difference of the labeling time for the A.S.C. because the ASC procedure need to boiling process. There were no significant differences among those radiocolloids (p>0.005) in the identification rate (IR), false negative rate (FNR), and negative predictive value (NPV). Conclusions: $^{99m}Tc$-labeled radiocolloids showed equivalent results in lymphoscintigraphy. Therefore, in this exam of each radiocolloids could be applied appropriate protocol in lymphoscintigraphy.

Purpose PET-CT imaging require an appropriate quality assurance system to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Quality control is essential for improving the quality of care and patient safety. Currently, there are performance evaluation methods of UN2-1994 and UN2-2001 proposed by NEMA and IEC for PET-CT image evaluation. In this study, we compare phantom images with the same experiments before and after PET-CT 3D normalization and well counter correction and evaluate the usefulness of quality control. Materials and methods Discovery 690 (General Electric Healthcare, USA) PET-CT equiptment was used to perform 3D normalization and well counter correction as recommended by GE Healthcare. Based on the recovery coefficients for the six spheres of the NEMA IEC Body Phantom recommended by the EARL. 20kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the sphere of the phantom and 2kBq/㎖ of ¹⁸F was injected into the body of phantom. PET-CT scan was performed with a radioacitivity ratio of 10:1. Images were reconstructed by appliying TOF+PSF+TOF, OSEM+PSF, OSEM and Gaussian filter 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6,5 mm with matrix size 128×128, slice thickness 3.75 mm, iteration 2, subset 16 conditions. The PET image was attenuation corrected using the CT images and analyzed using software program AW 4.7 (General Electric Healthcare, USA). The ROI was set to fit 6 spheres in the CT image, RC (Recovery Coefficient) was measured after fusion of PET and CT. Statistical analysis was performed wilcoxon signed rank test using R. Results Overall, after the quality control items were performed, the recovery coefficient of the phantom image increased and measured. Recovery coefficient according to the image reconstruction increased in the order TOF+PSF, TOF, OSEM+PSF, before and after quality control, RCmax increased by OSEM 0.13, OSEM+PSF 0.16, TOF 0.16, TOF+PSF 0.15 and RCmean increased by OSEM 0.09, OSEM+PSF 0.09, TOF 0.106, TOF+PSF 0.10. Both groups showed a statistically significant difference in Wilcoxon signed rank test results (P value<0.001). Conclusion PET-CT system require quality assurance to achieve high efficiency and reliability. Standardized intervals and procedures should be followed for quality control. We hope that this study will be a good opportunity to think about the importance of quality control in PET-CT

Purpose In ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT, the absorption of ¹⁸F-FDG due to the activation of Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) greatly interferes with the discrimination of lymph node malignant metastasis. Warming the patient's body temperature before and after injection of ¹⁸F-FDG to prevent FDG absorption by BAT is a safe and non-pharmacological approach. The purpose of this study was to identify and select patients with a high potential for BAT activation in advance, and to investigate whether BAT can inhibit FDG absorption when the body temperature is raised for a short time by directly applying heat to the target patient. Materials and Methods Among the patients who underwent ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT at the National Cancer Center from January 2020 to December 2020, 825 female patients (415 in the thermal group, 410 in the non-thermal group) under 50 years old were included. The thermal group was administered heat for 10 minutes before injection of ¹⁸F-FDG. For statistical analysis, the Z test comparing the ratios between the two groups was used, and logistic regression analysis was performed to correct for important variables (BMI, outdoor temperature, blood sugar) according to the results of the previous retrospective study. Results Among 825 patients, 19 patients with BAT activated (Thermal group: 5(1.2%), Non-thermal group: 14(3.41%)) accounted for 2.3% of the total. As a result of performing the Z test to compare the ratios between the two groups, the activation of BAT in the thermal group was significantly decreased (P=0.034). In the univariate logistic regression analysis, the activation of BAT was also decreased in the thermal group (OR: 0.34, P<0.05). In the multivariate results, BAT activation increased in patients younger than 45 years old (OR: 4.46, P<0.05) and outdoor temperature less than 13.2 degrees (OR: 9.97, P<0.05). BAT activation tended to decrease in the thermal group, but there was no significant difference (OR: 0.37, P=0.066). Conclusion We confirmed that the activation of BAT tends to decrease by 62.5% in the group subjected to the thermal method, and it will be of great help in preventing FDG absorption of BAT more effectively in the future. 목적: ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT에서 갈색지방세포(Brown fat 또는 Brown Adipose Tissue, 이하 BAT)의 활성화로 인한 FDG의 흡수는 림프절의 악성 전이 여부를 분별하는 데 큰 방해가 되며, 이로 인하여 재검사를 진행하는 번거로움을 초래할 수도 있다. BAT의 FDG 흡수를 방지하기 위해 ¹⁸F-FDG 주사 전후 환자의 체온을 따뜻하게 하는 것은 안전하고도 비 약리적인 접근 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 BAT가 활성화될 가능성이 큰 환자를 미리 식별하여 선별한 후 대상 환자에게 직접적으로 열을 가하여 짧은 시간 동안 체온을 상승시켰을 때 BAT의 FDG 흡수를 억제할 수 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2020년 1월부터 2020년 12월까지 1년간 국립암센터에서 ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT 검사를 시행한 환자 중 중복 검사를 포함한 825명(온열그룹 415명, 비온열그룹 410명)의 50세 이하 여성 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 온열 대상자에게는 ¹⁸F-FDG의 주사 전 10분 동안 온열 요법을 시행하였다. 통계분석에는 두 그룹간의 비율을 비교하는 Z 검정을 이용하였고, 이전 후향적 연구 결과에 따른 중요 변수들(BMI, 외부기온, 혈당)을 보정하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 결과: 825명의 환자 중 BAT가 활성화된 환자는 19명(온열그룹 5명(1.2%), 비온열그룹 14명(3.41%))으로 전체 중 2.3%의 비율을 차지하였다. 두 그룹간의 비율 비교를 위하여 Z 검정을 시행한 결과, 온열그룹에서 BAT의 활성화가 유의한 차이로 감소하였다(P=0.034). 단변수 로지스틱 회귀분석에서도 온열그룹에서 BAT 활성화가 감소하였다(OR: 0.34, P<0.05). 반면, 45세 미만인 환자에게서(OR: 4.46, P<0.05), 외부기온 13.2도 미만에서(OR: 9.91, P<0.05) BAT 활성화가 증가하였다. 다변수 결과에서는, 45세 미만인 환자에게서(OR: 4.46, P<0.05), 외부기온 13.2도 미만에서(OR: 9.97, P<0.05) BAT 활성화가 증가하였고, 온열그룹에서 BAT 활성화가 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 유의한 차이는 없었다(OR: 0.37, P=0.066). 결론: 온열 요법을 시행한 그룹에서 BAT의 활성화가 62.5% 감소하는 경향성이 있음을 확인하였고, 앞으로 BAT의 FDG 흡수를 더 효과적으로 예방하는데 큰 도움이 될 것이라 사료된다.
