Purpose : When head&neck cancer radiation therapy, thermoplastic mask is applied for patients with fixed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate usefulness of thermoplastic mask for SRS in tomotherapy by conparison with the conventional mask. Materials and Methods : Typical mask(conventional mask, C-mask) and mask for SRS are used to fix body phantom(rando phantom) on the same iso centerline, then simulation is performed. Tomotherapy plan for orbit and salivary glands is made by treatment planning system(TPS). A thick portion and a thin portion located near the treatment target relative to the mask S-mask are defined as region of interest for surface dose dosimetry. Surface dose variation depending on the type of mask was analyzed by measuring the TPS and EBT film. Results : Surface dose variation due to the type of mask from the TPS is showed in orbit and salivary glands 0.65~2.53 Gy, 0.85~1.84 Gy, respectively. In case of EBT film, -0.2~3.46 Gy, 1.04~3.02 Gy. When applied to the S-mask, in TPS and Gafchromic EBT3 film, substrantially 4.26%, 5.82% showed maximum changing trend, respectively. Conclusion : To apply S-mask for tomotherapy, surface dose is changed, but the amount is insignificant and be useful when treatment target is close critical organs because decrease inter and intra fractional variation.

In this digital information era, utilization of images are essential for various media, and the edge is an important characteristical information of an object in images that includes the size, location, direction and etc. Many domestic and international studies are being conducted in order to detect these edge. Existing edge detection methods include Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts, Laplacian, LoG and etc. which apply fixed weight value. As these existing edge detection methods apply fixed weight mask to the image, edge detection characteristic appears slightly insufficient. Accordingly, in order to supplement these problems, this study used bottom-hat transformation from mathematical morphology and opening operation in improving the image and proposed an algorithm that detects for the edge after calculating mask-based gradient. And to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a comparison was made against the existing Sobel, Roberts, Prewitt, Laplacian, LoG edge detection methods, in illustrating visual images, and similarities were compared by calculating the MSE value based on the standard of each image.

잡음에 의해 훼손된 영상 신호를 복원할 때 쓰이는 Wiener filter는 국부영역의 잡음 분산과 신호 분산을 가지고 적응적으로 필터의 파라미터를 조절한다. 그러나 기존의 Wiener filter는 고정된 필터 마스크를 사용함으로써, 평탄 영역의 잡음을 크게 제거하면, 에지 부분의 잡음이 살고, 에지 부분의 잡음을 제거하면, 평탄영역의 잡음이 사는 특성이 있다. 본 논문은 Kirsh mask로 에지와 그 방향성을 판별한 후, 에지 부분의 잡음을 제거하면서 평탄 영역의 잡음도 동시에 제거하기 위해 가변적인 필터 마스크를 사용했으며, 잡음에 의해 훼손된 방향성 정보를 살러 주기위해 필터 마tm크와 훼손된 영상 이미지에 방향성 정보를 추가했다. 제안된 방법으로 실험한 결과 주관적 비교에서 에피 부분이 잡음을 제거하고 방향성을 살렸으며, PSNR을 이용한 객관적 비교에서도 기존알고리즘보다 개선된 성능을 보였다.

Edges include various important informations of the objects. These edges are being applied in numerous areas and there is a detection method using mask in existing edge detection methods. These existing edge detection methods are simple to realize. However, because the fixed mask is used, edge detection characteristics in complicated noise environments are somewhat unsatisfactory. Therefore, to compensate for the weakness in the existing detection methods, edge detection algorithm which uses the standard deviation of local mask and noise elimination was proposed.

Edge detection includes information such as the shape, position, size, and material of an object with respect to an image, and is a very important factor in analyzing the characteristics of the image. Existing edge detection methods include Sobel edge detection filter, Roberts edge detection filter, Prewitt edge detection filter, and LoG (Lapacian of Gaussian) using secondary differentials. However, these methods have a disadvantage in that the edge detection results are somewhat insufficient because a fixed weight mask is applied to the entire image area. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an edge detection algorithm that increases edge detection characteristics by considering the center pixel in the mask. In addition, in order to confirm the proposed edge detection performance, it was compared through simulation result images.

This study is a prior research to manufacture a thermoplastic mask, which is a fixture used in radiation therapy, by 3D printing. It proceeded to analyze the filament material that can replace the thermoplastic. Among the commercially available filament materials, a material having similar characteristics to that of a thermoplastic mask was selected and the radiation dose was compared and analyzed. The experiment used Monte Carlo simulation. The shape in which the mask fixed the head was simulated for the ICRU sphere. The photon fluence was calculated at the skin Hp (0.07), the lens Hp (3), and the whole body Hp (10) by applying a thermoplastic plastic material and a filament material. As a result, when looking at the relative dose based on the thermoplastic plastic material, the difference was approximated within 4%. The material showing the most similar dose was PA-nylon. In selecting an appropriate filament material, it should be selected by comprehensively considering various conditions such as economical efficiency and radiation effects. It is thought that the results of this study can be used as basic data.

This paper deals with a noise reduction algorithm which uses the binary masking approach in the time-frequency domain to improve speech intelligibility. In the binary masking approach, the noise-corrupted speech is decomposed into time-frequency units. Noise-dominant time-frequency units are removed by setting the corresponding binary masks as "0"s and target-dominant units are retained untouched by assigning mask "1"s. We propose a binary mask estimation by comparing the local signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to a threshold. The local SNR is estimated by a training-based approach. An optimal threshold is proposed, which is obtained from observing the distribution of the training database. The proposed method is evaluated by normal-hearing subjects and the intelligibility scores are computed by counting the number of words correctly recognized.

One of the problems of the currently used IPv4 addressing-structure is the fact that there is a shortage of IP addresses and many addresses are being wasted, especially on sub-netting design. The variable subnet masking is a resolution to reduce IP address wasting. We propose an effective subnet W address calculation and management method on VLSM. Also, with the proposed subnet IP address management method, a web based subnet allocation and management system is introduced.

In general, the boundary portion of the background and objects are the rapidly changing point and an important elements to analyze characteristics of image. Using these boundary parts, information about the position or shape of an object in the image are detected, and many studies have been continued in order to detect it. Existing methods are that implementation of algorithm is comparatively simple and its processing speed is fast, but edge detection characteristics is insufficient because weighted values are applied to all the pixels equally. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed an algorithm using region segmentation of the mask in order to adaptive edge detection according to image, and the results processed by proposed algorithm indicated superior edge detection characteristics in edge area.
