The hinged door type with handle was best of patients stability, and the sliding door type was best of shielding ability. It is considered necessary, standard on the provision of door format and position of control button about each construction of radiation therapy room.

This study was to improve to utilization of non dosimetry measurements for X-ray radiography. Experiments was passed off varying the X-ray tube voltage and the thickness of the aluminum filter by actual dose. Calculated results was set to the first beam quality factors, calculated first correction coefficient by the Microsoft Excel program was set as the second beam quality factors. To make the non dosimetry measurements simply, the Excel program apply to the new beam quality factors, the error was compared to the previous studies, and the results verify the calculated value of smaller errors.

This study analyzed the total number of 19,636 patients and radiation technologists, 11,433 of male and 8,203 of female by examined body parts, age, types of detectors, the using contrast enhancement and working condition of the technologists, regular staffs or rotation-duty staffs, based on the K-DOS program distributed by FDA with the DLP value of diagnostic evaluation. The result shows that the effective radiation dose was 0.7mSv~41.7mSv for each region and male patients had more radiation exposure than females. And the amount of exposure was also affected by the types and the method of detectors. Furthermore, the regular staffs took the role of helping the patient to get reduced amount of radiation exposure than rotation duty-staffs. Computed tomography (CT) use has increased dramatically over the past several decades. In this reason, to support the patients and the workers’ health in the field, the hospitals should apply specialized regular working radiation technologist system and manufacturing companies of those CTs should develop low medical radiation exposure devices.

The purpose of this study is to monitor the current adverse reactions in administering CT contrast agents at general hospitals and also to suggest the practical guidelines to minimize the risk and to show the successful patient management. At four Dajeon city general hospitals, the contrast agents were administered in 646,828 cases and the overall prevalence of adverse reactions was 4,110 cases from January 2010 to December 2013. However, we excluded the two hospitals’ 3,658 cases because the patients’ data was inadequate. Consequently, the case surveys on the rest of 452 cases have been studied and submitted. After comparing the patients with a control group, we evaluated that the key factors of the adverse reactions were the gender and age difference of the patients, the examination period, the examination method, the quantity and administrating speed of the contrast agents. Even though the four general hospitals have their own management systems on adverse reactions, but their systems were not satisfying. To improve the quality of the management systems and to investigate further cases, some hospital administration procedures on the subject should be systemized and general hospitals should follow the recommended procedures. Moreover, the existing three-year-term evaluation should not only judge the adverse reaction management but also conclude some details on the sub criteria of the evaluation. The details on the sub criteria include the contrast agent characters, the quantity and administrating speed of the drug, the incidents’ occurred time, an anamnesis; a case history, the medical history of the patients and the reaction occurring body parts, and the examination title. The details of the medical examiners are also added to the sub criteria.

본 연구는 조영제를 사용하는 CT검사에서 조영제 부작용이 발생한 환자에 대한 정보를 수집하고 분석하여 조영제 부작용 발생인자들을 분석하여 조영제 부작용을 미리 예측하고 예방하여 조영제 부작용 발생빈도를 최소한으로 줄이고자 하며, 병원 내 약물부작용 관리 업무에 기초자료로 활용하여 병원의 진료 서비스의 향상과 영상의학과 종사자들의 업무 효율성을 증대시키고자 한다. 연구 대상은 대전광역시에 소재하는 4개의 종합병원에서 조 영제를 사용하는 CT 검사 중 만 18세 이상 남녀를 대상으로 2010년 1월부터 2014년 7월 까지 전산으로 기록되어진 4,932명 중 변수가 부족한 데이터를 제외하고 조영제 부작용이 발생한 환자 404명(이하 환자군)과 같은 기간 조영제 부작용이 발생되지 않은 환자에서 조영제 부작용이 발생한 환자의 성별, 조영제 종류를 교차하여 무작위 추출을 한 404명 (이하 대조군)을 대상으로 분석하였다. 기존에 알려진 위험 인자에 대해서 본 연구에서는 일반적 특성에 따른 조영제 부작용은 계절에 따른 특성에서 봄에 검사한 환자보다 겨울에 검사한 환자가 조영제 부작용 발생확률이 높게 나타나는 것으로 유의한 차이가 있었고, 다른 특성에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 조영제 부작용검사 관련 특성에서는 일반적인 검 사보다는 Dynamic 검사 시 조영제 부작용 발생확률이 높게 나타났고, 조영제 사용량이 130ml 이상 시, 주입속도가 4F/R 이상 시 조영제 부작용 발생확률이 높게 나타나는 것으 로 모든 특성들이 유의하게 차이가 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 계절적 변화에 따라 환자의 조영제 투입 시 세심한 주의가 필요하리라 생각되며, 매년 CT검사가 증가하고 있는 만큼 조영제 사용이 증가 할 것으로 예상되기 때문에 조영제 부작용의 일반적 특성뿐만 아니라 질병, 전처치, 심리적 요인, 기타 약물 복용, 등의 다양한 원인을 근거로 한 연구가 지속적 으로 진행되어야 하며 이러한 연구들을 통해 조영제 부작용의 발생 위험을 사전에 예방할 수 있는 체계적이고 효율적인 프로그램의 개발이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Therefore, when using a blowing agent will be able to help clinical.

The purpose of this report is to discuss the obtained findings gathered from ultrasound screenings of the liver. After running diagnostic tests health, screens were then conducted to analyze and compare the gained results. This data was then charted and used to strengthen our theorized hypothesis. From January 2013 to June 2013 a recorded 2906 people over the age of 20 visited Health Promotion Centers in various areas throughout Daejeon. Of those 2906 participants 1789 underwent screenings for abdominal ultrasonography; these participants as well as their ultrasound results were used as the bases of our study. For the establishment of our baseline and the comparison of our results, we gathered case-controlled studies from various reputable sources. Both the control and the experimental groups were tested to measure the following liver enzymes (AST, ALT, r-GTP, ALP, and etc.). Kidney functions were measured as well enzymes such as BUN, Creatinine, and Uric Acids levels were analyzed and recorded to see if any relationships existed between the levels documented in the liver and those in the kidneys. It was shown that the two primary causes of fat build up within the liver were significantly connected to obesity BMI(OR=4.14) and waist circumference(OR=3.88).

This study was done to provide basic data on the safety of professionals in medical imaging system by measuring the electromagnetic waves generated in the medical imaging system being used in medical organization. The studied medical imaging systems were general X-ray system, computed tomography(CT), ultrasonographic(USG) system, magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), PET-CT and fluoroscopic(R/F) system, and through these devices, electric field and magnetic field were measured and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the measured values classified by the medical organizations were not much significant, but in the measurement by the medical imaging systems, there were high hazard elements in the sequential order of electric field PET-CT(17.7±22.9)v/m, CT(10.3±8.7)v/m, general X-ray system(8.8±8.8)v/m, magnetic field general X-ray system(5.06±8.26)mG, CT(2.71±4.53)mG and PET-CT(0.74±0.34)mG, the systems that adopted X-ray as main ray source, and the more aged the medical imaging systems, the greater the effects of electro-magnetic waves(10.6±15.93v/m for 5 years or more, 6.14±5.60v/m for 5 years or less). The effects of electromagnetic waves on medical imaging systems or facilities were not much when the notification of ministry of knowledge economy is considered, but in the overall perspective considering all the equipments and facility of the medical organization, such effects were significant. It is determined that sustainable safety managements of electric field and magnetic field must be done during process from medical imaging system installation to maintenance to rule out such factors.
