기존 구내 치근단 촬영용 장치는 환자 피폭선량, 촬영시 고통 등의 문제점을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문 제점을 해결하기 위한 신개념의 삽입형 초소형 X선 시스템의 가능성을 검증하였다. 먼저 초소형 X선 튜브에 사용될 콜리메이터와 필터를 설계하기 위하여 Geant4를 이용하여 최적의 콜리메이터 두께와 필터 두께를 결정하였으며 CdTe 검출기와 PX4 모듈을 이용하여 결정된 두께에서의 X선 스펙트럼을 확인하였다. 또한 기존 상용화된 치근단 촬영장치 와 XOFT사의 초소형 X선 튜브를 이용하여 제작된 치아 팬텀에 대한 영상을 획득하였다. 그 결과 제안된 신개념의 삽 입형 초소형 X선 시스템은 기존 시스템과 유사한 영상의 질을 나타내었다. 이는 향후 치근단 촬영용 장치를 비롯하여 다양한 응용부위에 활용할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

With a rapid progress in electronic industry we enjoy various conveniences of life. As many kinds of information equipments are supplied even to most of individuals as to be called an information society, we are exchanging much information with one another surprisingly. Consequently the occupation density of microwave frequency band is highly increased, and electromagnetic environment is getting more seriously bad. It often gives fatal blow to even human life and thus becomes serious social problems. Electromagnetic wave absorbers for anechoic chamber are needed to broaden the effective frequency bandwidth, reduce the thickness, and decrease the weight. There are various absorbers proposed for the above conditions, but they could not decisively solve it the alone requirements. The Electromagnetic wave absorber made by a conventional ferrite tile has, for example, broadened the useful frequency bandwidth by the way of forming air layer(practically use urethane foam, etc.) on the ferrite tile. Therefore, an air layer is formed between a reflection plate and a sintered Ni-Zn ferrite tile of 7 mm in thickness, which has reflectivity less than -20 dB from 30 MHz to 400 MHz in bandwidth. Accordingly, in this paper, a broadened electromagnetic wave absorber are designed, which has the reflection characteristics less than -20 dB from 30 MHz to 6,000 MHz in the bandwidth. Then we achieved the goal by design the inserting square Ferrite Cylinders with the thickness less than 17.5 mm on existing grid type Ferrite absorber. The purpose of this research is on the development of very wide-band electromagnetic absorber for a universal anechoic chamber for measuring radiated electromagnetic wave or immunity of electronic equipments, GTEM-cell, wall material for preventing TV ghost, etc.
