Full mouth rehabilitation is re-organizing the occlusion of the remaining teeth and missing teeth considering the functions, esthetics, and neuromuscular harmony. With the loss of multiple teeth, the patient's occlusal plane gradually collapses and the vertical dimension can be reduced. Since reduced vertical dimension can be a potential etiology of the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles, prosthetic restoration with increased vertical dimension is required. This case report is about a 68 years old patient with vertical dimension loss due to worn dentition and multiple loss of teeth. In this case, the loss of vertical dimension is assessed carefully using the digital dentistry technology. Using CAD software in digital analysis step, the occlusal plane was established and evaluated using several criteria. Orienting the position of the bone and teeth using CBCT image, patient's condition was visualized in 3 dimension and treatment planning was possible virtually. The information that matches the patient's condylar position with the articulator, which is the virtual face bow, is reproduced on the actual articulator, and evaluated again. After the evaluation, provisional prosthesis was fabricated and it was confirmed that the patient adapts without any abnormality. This was implemented as a final prosthesis. As a result, the patient obtained satisfying results, utilizing the benefits of digital dentistry technology and traditional methods.

In medical field, the computer has been used in the automatic processing of data derived in hospital. the automation of diagonal devices, and processing of medical digital images. In this paper, we classify red blood cell into 16 class including normal cell to the automation of blood analysis to diagnose disease. First, using UNL Fourier and invariant moment algorithm, we extract features of red blood cell from blood cell image and then construct multi-layer backpropagation neural network to recognize. We proof that the system can give support to blood analyzer through blood sample analysis of 10 patients.

The Film X-ray and the CCD method of current medical image system have the disadvantages such as required large place and diagnosis time. In this paper, we implement an effective medical image system using TXT-DXD method's digital X-ray detector(DR1000C). The implemented medical image system has advantages of placing efficiency and short diagnosis time. In order to make the image out of the system more effective, we develop an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) control driver, having the resolution of 1900*1200. And we propose an enhancement unsharp masking method to update image enhancement of DR1000C medical image system, and compare it with the current methods.

To achieve an esthetic restoration, visualized information considering the facial aspect of patient is required. As for the reasons of esthetic failure, it could be explained by lack of communication and information such as horizontal, vertical and esthetic line. Therefore, it is important to deliver that the visualized information to dental technicians or other dentists for the success of esthetic treatment. This case report presents the process of visualizing esthetic information and designing the restoration using a digital diagnostic tool; Digital Smile Design.

Linking patient's medical records throughout country is required to get patient's accurate information which is helpful for doctor to diagnosis patient's symptoms more exactly. With shortening of time and preventing of retest, patient can be survived or alleviate suffering. Purpose of this paper is to design combined identification system linking patient's RFID card with medical digitalized Chart to share patient's information between the hospitals. With research and review of pre-studied related identification system, standardization, and UCI-RFID linkage study, SPMR(sharing patient's medical record) has been designed for doctors to make a medical treatment properly at the right time and alleviate patient's pain. SPMR(sharing patient's medical record) which will take information needed and pay for information usage to related hospitals has been designed for doctors to make a medical treatment properly at the right time and alleviate patient's pain.

The purpose of this study is to verify the usefulness of X-ray simulator which uses a visible light source for further study. We developed a small experimental equipment which is composed of three main components - source, localizer and detector. Cartesian coordinate was set in 3D space, and the position of target was assumed the origin of the coordinate. The light from the source passes directly through the target, and projection image is formed on the screen, which can be taken with the digital camera. Since projection images were acquired behind the screen, they were flipped over right and left. By examining the characters of visual light source and equipments, it could be concluded that developed system was useful for experimental purpose.

In this study, we propose a method for quantifying the degree of advance of pulmonary emphysema by using chest X-ray images. With this method, we devise two schemes for this purpose. One is for detecting blood vessels by using a deformable model with the tree-like structure and using an evaluation function specialized by knowledge about blood vessels appeared in chest X-ray images, and the other is for quantifying the degree of advance by using several features, which were extracted from blood vessels, and the equation of quantitative evaluation. In order to evaluate the performance, we applied the proposed method to 189 ROIs(Regions of Interest) of ten chest X-ray images and compared the values by the proposed method with those by a medical doctor.

최근에 생산되는 디지털 VLSI칩들은 그 집적도가 계속 높아지고 있으며, 이러한 칩들을 장착한 보드의 경우도 그 복잡성이 점차 높아지고 있다. 이에 따라 칩 및 보드에 대한 철저한 테스트 과정이 요구된다. 지금까지 보드 테스트 방법으로 널리 쓰였던 ICT(In-Circuit Test)는 칩의 고집적화에 따른 핀 간격의 조밀화와 SMT(Surface Mount Technology), BGA(Ball Grid Array), MCM(Multi Chip Module) 등의 새로운 패키징 방식의 등장에 따라 테스트 방법으로의 한계성을 드러내고 있다. 이에 대한 대안으로 등장한 IEEE Std 1149.1 은 ICT의 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 기술일 뿐 아니라 여러 가지 장점을 가지고 있으며 그 활용 분야도 다양하다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE Std 1149.1에 따라 설계된 보드 상에서 발생 가능한 고장들에 대한 고장 모델을 제시한다. 또한 각 고장 모델들의 양상과 진단 기법을 제시한다. 이를 통해 IEEE Std 1149.1에 따라 설계된 보드 상에서 발생한 고장들을 검출할 수 있으며, 고장의 종류 및 성격, 그리고 고장의 발생 위치 등의 정보를 얻을 수 있다. IEEE Std 1149.1에 따른 보드 설계가 보드의 신뢰성 보장에 긴요함을 인식하는 계기가 되기를 기대하며 제시된 고장 모델 및 진단 기법이 기술적으로 중요한 참고자료가 되기를 기대한다.

Recently, a research on a smart factory was developed from a concept of factory automation(FA) to the formation of collecting and analyzing data. This trend is accelerated as the development of communication technology(5G) and IoT devices are developed in various ways according to the field situation. In addition, digital transformation has been actively conducted in the strengthening corporate competitiveness, and various optimization studies are being conducted through process re-adjustment by combining data received from various IoT equipment and automated facilities. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a system architecture and its related components in diagnosing and repairing facility failure using a prediction system which is one of the related researches.

Among 45 patients of herniation of intervertebral disc with $L_4$ to $L_5$ herniation, who underwent infrared thermography, the number of female was larger than male and the age of 50s was highest. From the results measured from the distribution table, we have confirmed that there was no significant difference depending on sex and age (p> 0.05). The region of the highest ROI temperature for patients with $L_4-L_5$ intervertebral disc prolapse was the back of the posterior right tibia, and followed by the back of the left shin bone-below the front right knee-below the front left knee. There was a significant difference depending on the measured site. The average ROI temperature for patients was $30.30{\pm}0.50$ whereas that for normal persons was $31.20{\pm}0.58$, yielding the temperature difference of $0.66{\pm}0.59$ between the two groups. The ROI of patients was lower than $31.20{\pm}0.58$ (p <0.05) because the significance of the sample, which has been obtained from the results of a sample t-test, was less than 0.05 (p <0.05). From further researches, it may necessary to develope the methodology for correcting data regarding thermal environment and, in addition, to develope a new thermal index based on it. Therefore, we can confirm that pre-treatment for infrared thermography is very important in order to minimize the procedure for correcting data. It is required that radiologists who inspect disc herniations should carefully observe and consider the patients during their measurements.
