본 연구는 무릎뼈의 변형된 접선 방향 검사 시 최적의 입사각에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 실험은 Kyoto Kagaku사의 PBU-50 phantom을 이용하여 바로 누운 자세에서 넙다리뼈-정강뼈 각도(Femur-tibia angle, F-T angle)를 95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, 135°, 145°로 각각에서 X선 중심선과 정강뼈가 이루는 각도가 5~20° 되도록 5°씩 변경하여(62.5°, 67.5°, 72.5°, 77.5°, 82.5°, 87°, 87.5°) 무릎뼈 접선 방향 영상을 획득하였다. 영상분석을 위해 Image J를 이용하여 Congruence angle, Lateral patellofemoral angle, Patellofemoral index, 대조도 잡음비(Contrast to noise ratio, CNR)를 측정하였다. 통계 분석은 SPSS 22를 이용하여 일원배치분산분석과 대응표본 t-검정으로 Merchant method와 비교하였다. 연구 결과 Congruence angle의 경우 무릎 각도-X선 중심선의 입사각도가 105°-72.5°(20° 접선조사), 115°-72.5°, 77.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 125°-82.5°(20° 접선조사), Lateral patellofemoral angle은 115°-72.5°, 77.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 125°-72.5°(10° 접선조사), Patellofemoral index는 115°-72.5°(15° 접선조사), 125°-72.5°(10° 접선조사)에서 Merchant method와 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>.05). CNR의 경우 105°-67.5°, 72.5°(15, 20° 접선조사), 115°-67.5°, 72.5°, 77.5°(10, 15, 20°접선 조사)일 때 Merchant method와 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p>.05). 본 연구의 결과를 통해 무릎뼈의 변형된 접선방향 검사 시 무릎 각도와 X선관의 입사각도를 각각 115°-72.5°(15° 접선 조사)로 설정함으로써 진단적 가치가 높은 영상을 획득할 수 있음을 확인하였다. In this study, we wanted to find out the optimal angle as a modified tangential projection of the patella. In the experiment, we used Kyoto Kagaku's PBU-50 phantom. In the supine position, the F-T angle was set to 95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, 135°, 145°, and Patella tangential projection images were obtained by varying the X-ray tube angle by 5° so that the angle between the X-ray centerline and tibia at each angle was 5~20°. Image J was used for image analysis and the congruence angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, patellofemoral index and contrast to noise ratio(CNR) were also measured. SPSS 22 was used for statistical analysis, and the mean values of congruence angle, patellofemoral angle, patellofemoral index, and CNR were compared with Merchant method through one-way batch analysis and corresponding sample t-test. As a result of the study, in the case of congruence angle, the angle of incidence of the knee-angle X-ray centerline was 105°-72.5° (20° tangential irradiation), 115°-72.5°, 77.5° (15, 20° tangential irradiation), 125°-82.5° (20° tangential irradiation), lateral patellofemoral angle is 115°-72.5°, 77.5° (15, 20° tangential irradiation), 125°-72.5° (10° tangential irradiation), patellofemoral index is 115°-72.5° (15° tangential irradiation) and 125°-72.5° (10° tangential irradiation) were not significantly different from Merchant method (p> .05). In case of CNR, it is not different from Merchant method at 105°-67.5°, 72.5° (15, 20° tangential irradiation), 115°-67.5°, 72.5°, 77.5° (10, 15, 20° tangential irradiation). (P> .05). Based on the results of this study, high diagnostic value images can be obtained by setting the knee angle and the angle of incidence of the X-ray tube to 115°-72.5° (15° tangential irradiation) during the modified tangential examination of the knee bone. It was confirmed.
