Abstract

In this thesis we observe microvascular structure in mice by using micro-computed tomography (CT), which is high-resolution X-ray imaging equipment that can acquire Real-time dynamic image, and it aims to investigate the usefulness of micro-CT developed by Institute for Radiological Imaging Science Wonkwang University School of Medicine. After acquiring the systemic images of rats, contrast-enhanced 3D images of vascular structures could be acquired by using Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) and Volume Rending Technique (VRT), This was divided into each vascular system of head, abdomen and heart and systemic vascular system.

본 연구는 실시간 동적영상(Real-time dynamic image)을 획득할 수 있는 고해상도 엑스선 영상장치인 마이크로 CT 을 이용하여 흰쥐의 미세 혈관구조를 관찰함은 물론 국내 원광 방사선영상 과학연구 센터에서 개발한 마이크로 CT 에 대한 유용성을 알아보고자 한다. 흰쥐 몸 전체의 2D 영상을 얻은 후 MIP(maximum intensity projection), VRT(volume rendering technique)기법을 이용하여 혈관구조의 조영된 3D 영상을 얻을 수 있었고 이 3D 혈관 영상을 머리, 복부, 심장과 몸 전체의 혈관시스템으로 각각 분류하였다.
