Purpose: To compare the standard deviation of gray levels on digital subtracted images obtained by different dental subtraction programs. Materials and Methods: Paired periapical films were taken at the lower premolar and molar areas of the phantoms involving human mandible. The bite registration group used Rinn XCP equipment and bite registration material, based on polyvinyl siloxane, for standardization. The no bite registration group used only Rinn XCP equipment. The periapical film images were digitized at 1200 dpi resolution and 256 gray levels by a flat bed scanner with transparency unit. Dental digital subtraction programs used for this study were Subtractor (Biomedisys Co., Korea) and Emago (Oral Diagnostic Systems, The Netherlands). To measure the similarities between the subtracted images, the standard deviations of the gray levels were obtained using a histogram of subtracted images, which were then analyzed statistically. Results: Subtracted images obtained by using the Emago program without manual selection of corresponding points showed the lowest standard deviation of gray levels (p<0.01). And the standard deviation of gray levels was lower in subtracted images in the group of a bite registration than in the group of no use of bite registration (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Digital radiographic subtraction without manual selection of reference points was found to be a convenient and superior method.

한원정,Han, Won-Jeong 대한안면통증구강내과학회 2012 Journal of Oral Medicine and Pain Vol.37 No.4

국한성 화골성 근염은 근육내에 섬유조직과 이소성 골이 형성되는 질환으로 외상성 화골성 근염으로도 알려져 있으며 외상, 외과적 술식, 지속적인 자극에 의하여 근육이 골화되는 질환이다. 주로 팔, 다리 근육에서 발생되며, 저작근에서 발생되는 예는 드물다. 저작근에 발생된 경우 주된 임상증상은 개구제한이며 환자는 이환부위의 동통이나 불편함을 호소하기도 한다. 본 연구는 30대 남성이 개구제한을 주소로 내원하여 임상검사와 방사선검사 후 저작근중에서 좌측 측두근과 외측 익돌근에서 발생된 국한성 화골성 근염으로 진단 내려진 증례를 보고하고자 한다. Localized myositis ossificans is a disease with the main feature of formation of heterotropic bone and fibrous tissue involving muscle. It also called traumatic myositis ossificans. Myositis ossificans is likely to occur in the femoral region or brachium but, rarely in the head and neck including the masticatory muscles. It arises from traumatic episodes caused by prolonged mouth opening, surgical procedure, local anesthesia injection. The main clinical feature is the mouth open limitation. The diagnosis of myositis ossificans is usually based on the patient's history, clinical symptoms and on imaging finding. We present the case of patient with localized myositis ossificans of the temporal and lateral pterygoid muscles.

한원정,김은경,Han Won-Jeong,Kim Eun-Kyung 대한영상치의학회 1992 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.22 No.2

Internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint can be defined an abnormal relationships of the meniscus relative to the mandibular condyle, articuar fossa and eminence. This may cause variable mandibular dysfunctions and pain. For diagnosis, arthrography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are used. In this study, the author reviewed 98 TMJs of 88 patients who were diagnosed as internal derangement througth inferior joint space arthrography at the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Radiology, Dental Hospita, Dankook university through 1986 to 1992. 98 TMJs consisting of 30 disc displcement with reduction, 48 disc displcement without reduction and 20 perforation were studied about clinical and radiological findings. The results were as follows: 1. Internal derangement was found most frequently in the 2nd 3rd decades and the average age of perforation was higher than that of disc displcement with higher than that of disc displcement with reduction. The sexual predilection was 2 times hiher in females. 2. The most frequent chief complaints were TMJ sound in disc displcement with reduction, pain and limitation of mouth opening in disc displcement without reduction and pain in perforation. The duration of the chief complaints was longer in disc displcement with reduction with than in preforation and disc displcement without reduction. 3. Reciprocal click was the most frequently TMJ sound in disc displcement with reduction. History of joint sound in disc displcement without reduction an crepitus in perforation was the most frequent one. 4. The average maximum opening was 45.4㎜ in disc displcement with reduction, 31.4㎜ in disc displcement without reduction and 33.8㎜ in perforation. 5. In the centric occlusion, posterior condylar position was the most frequent in disc displcement with reduction. posterior and concentric condylar position was frequent in disc displcement without reduction, concentric and anterior condylar position in perforation. At 1 inch opening, the same position to articular eminence was most frequently found in disc displcement with reduction, posterior position in disc disp1cement without reduction, posterior and nterior position in perforation was frequently found. 6. Bony changes, especially sclerosis and flattening, was most frequently found in perforation.

CBCT에서 관찰되는 trifid mandibular canal

한원정(Won-Jeong Han) 대한치과의사협회 2018 대한치과의사협회지 Vol.56 No.2

Trifid mandibular canal (TMC) is one of the anatomical variation of mandibular canal with clinical importance. An extra mandibular canal may explain inadequate anesthesis and be damaged causing paresthesia or bleeding during mandibular surgery. CBCT with high-level spatial resolution is an useful tool for the detection of mandibular canal and its variation. The aim of this report is to present a case of trifid mandibular canal with CBCT images and to give information on this anatomical variation of mandibular canal.

이재학,한원정,최영희,김은경,Lee Jae-Hak,Han Won-Jeong,Choi Young Hi,Kim Eun-Kyung 대한영상치의학회 2003 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.33 No.1

Purpose: To aid in determining the volume of graft bone required before a maxillary sinus lift procedure and compare the alveolar bone height measurements taken by panoramic radiographs to those by CT images. Materials and Methods : Data obtained by both panoramic radiographs and CT examination of 25 patients were used in this study. Maxillary sinus volumes from the antral floor to heights of 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, and 20 mm, were calculated. Alveolar bone height was measured on the panoramic images at each maxillary tooth site and corrected by magnification rate (PBH). Available bone height (ABH) and full bone height (FBH) was measured on reconstructed CT images. PBH was compared with ABH and FBH at the maxillary incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Results: Volumes of the inferior portion of the sinuses were 0.55 ± 0041 ㎤ for 5 mm lifts, 2.11 ± 0.68 ㎤ for 10 mm, 4.26 ± 1.32 ㎤ for 15 mm, 6.95 ± 2.01 ㎤ for 20 mm. For the alveolar bone measurement, measurements by panoramic images were longer than available bone heights determined by CT images at the incisor and canine areas, and shorter than full bone heights on CT images at incisor, premolar, and molar areas (p<0.001). Conclusion: In bone grafting of the maxillary sinus floor, 0.96 ㎤ or more is required for a 5 mm-lift, 2.79 ㎤ or more for a 10 mm-lift, 5.58 ㎤ or more for a 15 mm-lift, and 8.96 ㎤ or more for a 20 mm-lift. Maxillary implant length determined using panoramic radiograph alone could result in underestimation or overestimation, according to the site involved.

나선형 단층방사선사진촬영에서 촬영조건이 악골 단면상의 높이, 폭 및 인지도에 미치는 영향

이태완,한원정,김은경,Lee Tae-Wan,Han Won-Jeong,Kim Eun-Kyung 대한영상치의학회 2003 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.33 No.1

Purpose : To evaluate the differences in bone height, bone width, and visibility of posterior spiral tomographic images according to various exposure directions, image layer thickness, and inclination of the mandibular inferior border. Materials and Methods: Six partially and completely edentulous dry mandibles were radiographed using Scanora spiral tomography. Spiral tomography was performed at different exposure directions (dentotangential and maxillotangential projection), image layer thicknesses (2 mm, 4 mm and 8 mm), and at various inclinations to the mandibular border (+ 100, 00 and -10°). The bone height and width was measured using selected tomographic images. The visibility of mandibular canal, crestal bone, and buccal and lingual surfaces were graded as 0, 1, or 2. Results : The bone width at the maxillo-tangential projection was wider than at the dento-tangential projection (p < 0.05). The visibility of buccal and lingual surface at the maxillo-tangential projection was higher than at the dento-tangential projection (p<0.05). Thinner image layer thicknesses resulted in greater visibility of buccal and lingual surfaces (p < 0.05). Bone height was greatest in the -10° group, and at the same time the bone width of the same group was the narrowest (p < 0.05). The visibility of alveolar crest and buccal surface of the + 10° group was the highest, while the visibility of the mandibular canal was greatest in the 00 group. Conclusion: When spiral tomography is performed at the mandibular posterior portion for visualization prior to implant surgery, it is important that the inferior border of mandible be positioned as parallel as possible to the floor. A greater improvement of visibility can be achieved by maintaining a thin image layer thickness when performing spiral tomography.

김동수,한원정,김은경,Kim, Dong-Soo,Han, Won-Jeong,Kim, Eun-Kyung 대한영상치의학회 2010 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.40 No.2

Purpose : To compare the CT numbers on 3 cone-beam CT (CBCT) images with those on multi-detector CT (MDCT) image using CT phantom and to develop linear regressive equations using CT numbers to material density for all the CT scanner each. Materials and Methods : Mini CT phantom comprised of five 1 inch thick cylindrical models with 1.125 inches diameter of materials with different densities (polyethylene, polystyrene, plastic water, nylon and acrylic) was used. It was scanned in 3 CBCTs (i-CAT, Alphard VEGA, Implagraphy SC) and 1 MDCT (Somatom Emotion). The images were saved as DICOM format and CT numbers were measured using OnDemand 3D. CT numbers obtained from CBCTs and MDCT images were compared and linear regression analysis was performed for the density, $\rho$ ($g/cm^3$), as the dependent variable in terms of the CT numbers obtained from CBCTs and MDCT images. Results : CT numbers on i-CAT and Implagraphy CBCT images were smaller than those on Somatom Emotion MDCT image (p<0.05). Linear relationship on a range of materials used for this study were $\rho$=0.001H+1.07 with $R^2$ value of 0.999 for Somatom Emotion, $\rho$=0.002H+1.09 with $R^2$ value of 0.991 for Alphard VEGA, $\rho$=0.001H+1.43 with $R^2$ value of 0.980 for i-CAT and $\rho$=0.001H+1.30 with $R^2$ value of 0.975 for Implagraphy. Conclusion: CT numbers on i-CAT and Implagraphy CBCT images were not same as those on Somatom Emotion MDCT image. The linear regressive equations to determine the density from the CT numbers with very high correlation coefficient were obtained on three CBCT and MDCT scan.

3차원 안모분석을 위한 저선량 Multi-detector CT 영상의 유효선량 및 화질 평가

정기정,한원정,김은경,Chung, Gi-Chung,Han, Won-Jeong,Kim, Eun-Kyung 대한영상치의학회 2010 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.40 No.1

Purpose : This study was designed to compare the effective doses from low-dose and standard-dose multi-detector CT (MDCT) scanning protocols and evaluate the image quality and the spatial resolution of the low-dose MDCT protocols for clinical use. Materials and Methods : 6-channel MDCT scanner (Siemens Medical System, Forschheim, Germany), was used for this study. Protocol of the standard-dose MDCT for the orthodontic analysis was 130 kV, 35 mAs, 1.25 mm slice width, 0.8 pitch. Those of the low-dose MDCT for orthodontic analysis and orthodontic surgery were 110 kV, 30 mAs, 1.25 mm slice width, 0.85 pitch and 110 kV, 45 mAs, 2.5 mm slice width, 0.85 pitch. Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were placed at 31 sites throughout the levels of adult female ART head and neck phantom. Effective doses were calculated according to ICRP 1990 and 2007 recommendations. A formalin-fixed cadaver and AAPM CT performance phantom were scanned for the evaluation of subjective image quality and spatial resolution. Results : Effective doses in ${\mu}Sv$ ($E_{2007}$) were 699.1, 429.4 and 603.1 for standard-dose CT of orthodontic treatment, low-dose CT of orthodontic analysis, and low-dose CT of orthodontic surgery, respectively. The image quality from the low-dose protocol were not worse than those from the standard-dose protocol. The spatial resolutions of both standard-dose and low-dose CT images were acceptable. Conclusion : From the above results, it can be concluded that the low-dose MDCT protocol is preferable in obtaining CT images for orthodontic analysis and orthodontic surgery.

최진석,김은경,한원정,Choi Jin-Seok,Kim Eun-Kyung,Han Won-Jeong 대한영상치의학회 2003 Imaging Science in Dentistry Vol.33 No.3

Purpose: To compare the measurements of the mandible and the detectability of the mandibular canal on reformatted images using a newly developed 3-dimensional implant simulation program with traditionally used CT multiplanar reconstruction program and true measurements. Materials and Methods: Ten dry dog mandibles were used in this study. Occlusal templates for CT examination were fabricated and marked with gutta perch a at ten sites. Axial CT scans were taken and reconstructed using DentaScan (D group) and Vimplant program (V group), and each mandible was sectioned at the previously marked sites (R group). Maximum vertical height (H) and maximum width (W) of the mandible, the distances from buccal border of the mandibular canal to the most buccal aspect of the mandible (X), and the distance from the superior border of the mandibular canal to the alveolar crest (Y) were measured, and the mandibular measurements in each group were compared. Detectability of mandibular canal was evaluated using a 3-point scale in both V and D groups by three oral radiologists and compared. Results: H in the V group was slightly greater than that in the D group, and Wand X in the V group was slightly less than those in the D group. H in the V group was less than that in the R group, and Wand X in the V group was larger than those in the R group. The detectability of the mandibular canal did not show statistically significant differences between V and D groups. Conclusion: The results of the experiment show that the newly developed, inexpensive Vimplant/TM/ simulation program can be used as an alternative to the traditionally used, and more expensive CT multiplanar reconstruction program.
