    A new 3-dimensional (3-D) computation algorithm, "Modified equivalent TMR method", for photon beam dose calculation, considering heterogeneous corrections, has been developed. This algorithm is base on the modified equivalent TAR method that was proposed by Inamura et al. The modified equivalent TAR method was deduced from the equivalent TAR method proposed originally by Sontag and Cunning ham. In addition, reducing the computational time during treatment planning, the concept of quasirandom number suggested by Inamura et al, is adopted for this algorithm. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the dose computations of this new algorithm. The accuracy is compared with both measure and calculated data for Cobalt-60 gamma rays and 10 MV photon beams for various geometries and field sizes on the axis. Weighting factor expressing the relative importance of each volume element in contributing to the scatter dose at the point of calculation, is computed using the three following models that are exponentially approximated as the distance function from the scattering point to the calculation one. 1) "All Scatter model" accounts for the all scattering points. 2) "No Back Scatter model" only takes account of the forward scattered radiation at the calculation point. 3) "Compton Scatter model" takes account for the contributing rate of the scatter dose at the calculating point using the approximation of Klein-Nishina's angular distribution. Using the modified equivalent TMR method, we show that the accuracy of a 3-D dose computation is less than 2% for a homogeneous medium and about 6% for a heterogeneous one. This algorithm is possible for calculating a 3-D dose distribution for short periods of time in actual treatment planning and also for to photon beam applications with more than 6 MV.

    The measured values of the regional cerebral blood flow (r-CBF) changes by using a certain of measurement and data analysis methods. We studied the quantitative analysis of r-CBF using the CT 9800 Xenon CBF Imaging System with a stable Xenon. The values of r-CBF are influenced by several input factors, i.e., the numbers of baseline scans, the image numbers of enhancement scans, the hematocrit values and smoothing methods. Using the acquired data from 20 patients, we evaluated the infuluences of those input factors. In the result, no significant difference in each of the mean values exested, the changes of those input factors produced variations of 1 to 10% in the calculated r-CBF. It is important for clinical estimations of r-CBF to recognize the fundamental parameters of the apparatus.

    In case of the general radiography among the radiographic technics, there are engaged in slightly more numbers of single phase 2 peak generators than 3 phase 6 or 12 peak generators, in Japan. We must take radiography of various body parts with many radiographic technics in the general radiography, and the short exposure time radiography is a common technic through the general radiography. Especially, the short exposure time technic is essential to the chest and the baby radiography. On this point of view, 3 phase 6 or 12 peak generators which have greater X-ray output and fine exposure time control, are more suitable X-ray machine than single phase 2 peak. Large current short exposure time radiographies by 3 phase generators have some problems in X-ray linearity failures to the X-ray tube currents and the exposure times and percent-ripple change with milliamparage. Recently, there introduced the inverter type X-ray generator in Japan. The inverter type machines have the same X-ray output as the 12 peak generators and better features which are accurate control by microprocessor technic, tube voltage feed back technic and so forth. To apply this type of generator to the general radiography, the characteristics of dynamic respons are reported in this paper and high quality radiography can be taken constantly by this machine.

    A X-ray table that is being used in radiographing takes the part of bed. It is used to lay patient still on it during exposure. Even now this role has not changed since X-rays were used in medical purpose. Today various types of X-ray table devised for special uses, for example, for children, the head, ACG, and urography. Radiographic technology made a quantum leap with the advent of the moving grid in 1920 by Dr. Potter. This innovation provided a great improvement in radiographic technique in terms of contrast and definition followed by a reduction of scattered radiation. In this paper, I would like to mention about how the regulations of X-ray diagnostic table is enacted in Japan, and the history of excluding scattered radiations.

    I made a report to this Symposium relating to positioning out of the radiographic techniques. It indicated present problems to be solved before discussing the prospects for the techniques in the future. First, I pointed out the necessity of rearranging the present radiography so that it could stand up as technology more firmly. For this purpose, it is necessary to grasp the process of forming the radiography techniques systematically and newly put them in order. Secondly, an analysis of the tendency of making use of radiography showed that it was advancing in the direction of metric diagnosis and that there were demands for highly precise and reproducible X-ray images. I remarked that it was a subject to be solved how technologists meet such demands. That is, we are now at a turning point in dealing with technical steps. Thirdly, I stressed the importance of systematically constructing radiographic techniques on the basis of diagnosing physicians' demands for them. This can be said to be natural from the viewpoint of communicating X-ray image information, too. The report showed an outline of the flowchart of radiographic technique construction (a continuous flow from appearance of diagnosing physicians' demands to technical evaluation of radiography). To explain this outline, I gave the radiography of foramen opticum as an example. As the fourth subject, the respective items of the flowchart need be put in order to establish the radiographic techniques for various sites. This requires accumulation of technical data. Promotion of full-scale use of databases is also believed to be needed. Those subjects are thought to be the items first to be solved in considering the future of the radiographic technologies.

    Photosensitive materials that have major part of radiographic diagnosis, have been developed for over ninety years. In this presentation, historical changes of photosensitive materials were discussed with their present status and problems. Regular system of intensifying screen with CaWO_4 has been used for long time. Recently, the system of intensifying screen with rare earth has been developed, making a certain progress on image quality of radiography. We should select the best one among these various photosensitive materials, in order to get better medical information, acording to the diagnostic purposes.
